RAZER Arctosa RZ03-00260100-R3U1 Silver USB Wired Gaming Keyboard RAZER Arctosa RZ03-00260100-R3U1 Silver USB Wired Gaming Keyboard

Pros: No pros, the plastic on this keyboard compared to the razer lycosa is thin and as a result its unstable while typing.

Cons: Thinner plastic then on the lycosa, media keys are not touch controlled.

Other Thoughts: Its like the Razer Lycosa keyboard except the plastic is thinner and the media keys are not touch control, they are just buttons under the panel.

Pros: - Standard quality keyboard that has taken over a year of abuse
- Keys are organized in a way that are familiar and comfortable
- The wrist-rest comes off (much more functional this way)
- Is a pretty stylish keyboard considering its quality
- You aren't losing any value here. This keyboard is exactly what is advertised.

Cons: - Not a mechanical keyboard. The keys aren't necessarily uncomfortable but they don't feel nearly as good as mechanical.
- Very hard to clean. The keys have a spread taper to them that seals the innards to a point where lots of tiny stuff can get in but doesn't allow for crumbs, hair, etc to fall back out. This is normal for a keyboard but with these types of keys it is more of an issue. You wont find a membrane keyboard that makes it easier though.
- The wrist rest. Fortunately it comes off. I've thrown mine away.
- The cost. This is RAZER quality so you are getting what you pay for. The thing is though that for a little more you can buy a mechanical that will be completely worth it in the long run. If you want a membrane keyboard then you shouldn't be spending more than $20.

Other Thoughts: This keyboard has performed well for what it is over the past year. It looks good on my desk and hasn't ghosted once. I would recommend it if it were the sale price that it was when I got it. At $45 you should just get a black mechanical keyboard. Even if it isn't RAZER. I just picked up a BlackWidow and since I am a regular gamer I have found it worth every penny.

Pros: Affordable price, responsive keys, pretty good looking, basic gaming keyboard. It is not mechanical but it fairs pretty well.

Cons: No backlighting, its a bit big if you have a smaller desk.

Other Thoughts: Pretty good keyboard for its price, got it for 30 bucks, just wish it had a black light.
Used it to replace my eclipse II I had for years.

Pros: Excellent keyboard so far, quick and quiet

Cons: Status LEDs are really bright, and I'm adjusting to the slightly different key layout/feel to this keyboard compared to the old keyboard I had...not that that is a bad thing.

Pros: Shiny
Decently built
Multimedia keys

Cons: NOT WORTH 50 DOLLARS
for 10 dollars more you could get a mechanical keyboard
it is basically just a jazzed up membrane keyboard, nothing special

Other Thoughts: I think it is better without the wrist rest

Pros: This is a sleek looking keyboard. I was looking for something for gaming, to match my Razer mouse and pad.

Mine is nearly two years of age, and it has worked flawlessly. If you get any gunk between the keys, they are simple to pop off and clean. There are flips underneath for additional height (it does have some slide). It's not going to win any awards for eorgonomics, but the palm rest is a bonus, smooth and easy to scroll your hands on. If you leave your locks on the lights can be distracting, but they easily notify you if they were accidentally pressed. Media keys adorn the top right. The price is reasonable.

Key travel is the main pro here. It's short and smooth, quiet enough.

Cons: As I said above, it does slide a little with the flips extracted. My desk however is the problem here, it has a raised edge.

Other Thoughts: My next keyboard may be mechanical, but I'm not certain if they are too noisy. That, and I prefer shorter travel for quicker key press.

Pros: Its a great keyboard. I like the feel of it. Media keys work great with Windows Media Player.

Cons: Caps Lock, Number Lock and Scroll lock lights are way to bright.

Pros: Macros are a plus when it comes to gaming. Razer has a solid program that allows you to assign your macros and switch profiles.

Cons: There are keyboards out there for a little bit more that you'll get a lot more out of. Also not having a backlight stinks.

Other Thoughts: Very solid keyboard for the price that you are paying. There are better keyboards for a little more money though.

Pros: the keys feel very responsive
the media keys are perfect
i love the anti-ghosting features

Cons: i am having a bit of trouble programming the keys to do simple things like open new tabs and write out my email address. The software that comes with it is not up to date in my opinion and it is not available in synapse 2.0 which really bums me out because i own the razer deathadder as well

Other Thoughts: overall i like the keyboard and for the price you cant beat it, but thinking now i should have spent the extra money and got a black widow ultimate just for the improved macro functions

Pros: See last review. Gains 1 egg for how good it was before dying.

Cons: Stopped working just over a week of use. A key was the first thing to stop working well- then enter, and all my keys would randomly stop working, so it would take at least 3 key presses to activate any key. I got a faulty one, I RMA'd it, but I would still recommend the keyboard to other people if you don't want to spend the extra money on a mechanical one.

Other Thoughts: Wish it would have lasted longer, but any company will have a bad product once in a while. Personally, I'm going to get a mechanical keyboard.
