Pros: -Mechanical keys. No, seriously, it's a nice upgrade from the nostromo, whose 4 key got dull after a month of use. -6 buttons for your thumb. Ten if you want to bother with diagonals. This is a massive step up from any keyboard you could ever buy. the thumbstick is good for 4 separate buttons, then theres the button below, and above. All quite easy to reach. -Customization. I utilize two different physical settings for this, one for RPGs, where having quick access to the full board is more useful than having quick access to the thumb area (both are accessible, but it's big, so unless you have some massive hands..) and one for just about everything else, where I move the wrist part back a bit. Keeping the palm rest on swivel is also a nice way to maintain free access to the entire thing. You never actually have to lift your hand to press any key, a far cry from any keyboard. -Design. It just looks cool sitting there. -Positioning of keys. It's strict rows and columns so you always know what button you're hitting. Maybe in the next generation they can curve it so that the side keys are just as easy and recognizable, but really, it does its job quite well.

Cons: -The synapse software is really a little derp. Razer will fix the issues, hopefully, and since you don't pay for the fixes, I can't really take off an egg. It gets the job done fairly well, and in the time I've owned it (pre ordered, had on first day) it has only glitched up once, and that was last night. -The non-braided cable. It's really not a con, but this is where you'd expect to see it. You really will never notice it. This one is lengthy, and very flexible in comparison to other rubber cords, yet still pretty sturdy. You don't move this thing around, it's not a mouse, so fraying should never really be an issue. -There's only one color. Again, not a big deal. Green is fine, but I use this alongside a Logitech G600, which i have a variety of colors for. BTW, this is probably the best gaming setup in terms of peripherals that you could ever buy. I very much recommend it.

Overall Review: This is my second review of this. I feel that some people unjustly criticize many aspects that well, frankly, don't need to be criticized. Everyone can see the cost. If you're willing to put down the money for it, it's quite a solid piece of hardware, and if you want a keyboard made explicitly for gaming, this is your best option, period. I say keyboard, not keypad. Explicitly, because you aren't going to go type an essay on this thing. Keyboard because this is as many buttons as you would ever use on a keyboard, and right in reach of your single hand. No flying all the way across from wasd to press enter or any other obscure key.

Pros: Far more comfortable than a keyboard, a variety of methods to access different keys and very easy to program. It does what it's intended to do, and you can do it on 8 keymaps on any profile, in as many profiles as you want. Versatile and comfortable.

Cons: I've owned this since early August, and it's now early October. My most frequently used key, the one I have linked to "W", is now very soft. It requires additional pressure, and is not nearly as responsive as my other keys. I very much feel that a device made for gaming should be built durable enough to last a significant time under the intensity of gaming experience. Additionally, the wrist rest, while appropriately sized for me, has only two settings, a closer one and a far one. It would not be difficult in the least to design this to slide to allow better customization.

Overall Review: If the warranty cannot replace this, I am going to buy the Logitech G13.

Pros: I don't have the backlight problems. Never plugged into 2.0 usb, only 3.0. The backlighting is nice. My wpm has gone up pretty significantly. Not sure why. The macro keys. Goodness. Passwords, email addresses, and, well, anything else. Yeah. On the fly abilities, pretty cool.

Cons: Not taking an egg off, because it says MX Brown, but I don;'t like how the tactile point of the keys is different from the actuation point. Only mildly, but even still. (It's really a nonissue, but I'd like both points to be the same.) Also, the wristrest. It kind of sucks. Why aren't there more colors? Seriously? I have a g600 (go buy one, it's the perfect mouse for everything) and that can go everywhere. This, only white. What gives? if they ever fix this, I paid $120 for this, I'd like a new one.

Overall Review: Best keyboard I've ever used, despite the cons. Still wish it was clicky though.

Pros: Everything. Almost. I'm sure I can find a thing or two to say in terms of improvement, but this case is just outstanding. It's solid. It looks and feels.. just... awesome. The perfect mix of clean and unobtrusive, but still-one look at it and it's easy to see that it's not a Dell. The snapping sides are cool. A little loud, but more convenient than even the easiest of thumbscrews and safer than just keeping them out. There's room for cable management... which I'm pushing, due to 4 drives, supplementary power for a 660 ti, aftermarket cooler, fan controller, dvd drive, and a good deal of fans, but it's far better than other cases I've had. the flared rubber grommets are a nice touch that helps everything look organized, not to mention behind that, the case uses little removable plastic bars to keep all the cables in line, making most zip ties unnecessary-though they never hurt. Comes with 3 fans and 3 filters, which is a decent step up from the usual 1 fan and a filter or zero. The drive bays are just superior to anything ever, though room for more would be nice. They're segmented into 2 separate cages of three bays. You can remove either cage. Inside each cage are three sturdy plastic mounts that are genuinely a breeze to remove (so long as the drive is disconnected)- additionally for any 3.5 inch drive, you need no tools, no screws, nothing. You just bend the bracket around the drive and it snaps in and grips it. I've done some simple tests of holding it upside down and waving it around, and my drives have never fallen out. You will need some screws for 2.5 inch drives, but no need for a new bracket. There's space above my motherboard. It's beautiful. I can install fans with ease.

Cons: There are a couple now that I think about it. The front panel is a little annoying to remove, as you need to remove both side panels first, and then squeeze in 6 pieces to finally get it off. Doesn't come with the standard test speaker.

Overall Review: Mobo peg is handy, though I've heard a person or two doesn't like it.

Pros: I think I was able to get this case on a special deal for $35. I wasn't expecting much, I saw that it had some USB 3.0 headers and figured I wouldn't find much else in that price range with quite as many drive bays and headers. It's been about 2 months, and I continue to be surprised by the number of ways this case makes everything awesome. I didn't skimp on much of my build, so the fact that I have a modular power supply helps the cable management, but for everything else, while I'm sure higher end cases make it easier, I couldn't design a case myself that allowed for better cable management of the medium-high end PC. Hard drives slide in and lock, each panel comes off without any issue, or tools, for that matter, there's plenty of space for up to 7 120mm fans, and overall gives a nice finish to my build. (Cables can be tucked away on top of the motherboard, down the side of the drive bays, or down the designated corridor behind the bay area.) I had no idea how much I would enjoy opening up this case and.. tinkering.. until I did.

Cons: I am not sure whether or not this is a sizing issue with my mobo (Gigabyte GA-Z77X-D3H) or the case itself, but some of the screw ports on the board didn't line up with the raised points in the case. This hasn't been an issue, but it still would be nice to know that my mobo is completely clamped down.

Pros: What you pay for primarily, the mouse, is an excellent piece of equipment. Every button functions exactly as intended, and it's quite durable. The coating isn't too slick, nor will it accumulate sweat. The thumb buttons are placed quite intuitively and you know exactly what button you're pressing. The ring finger button is another excellent touch and gets a decent amount of use. If you like your DPI settings high, unless 8600 is too slow for you, you'll be satisfied in that department at well. There's literally just about nothing to complain about regarding the actual mouse.

Cons: Because you're stuck with logitech software, I have to take away an egg. It's almost confusingly simple, no confirmation of changes or anything, you click and it changes. I can get used to that, so that's alright. However, it limits you to three different settings, you cannot save additional profiles, these three simply exist on your mouse, with a single button to cycle through them. Since there's no saving, if your software crashes, as mine did (one month into use) you lose all the aspects of your mouse, or whatever was involved in said crash. It's not the biggest deal, but I've seen better designed software even on the G500, which I also own. Again, good hardware, questionable software.

Overall Review: Primarily used for RTS, but the g-shift button comes in handy in FPS as well.
