Hardware & Technical Would you buy one?

While I'm not the biggest fan of Razer, having tried a razer mouse sometime ago that didnt match up to competitor products that were less than 1/2 the cost, I think they fully live up to their reputation as the Alienware of peripherals (ie: cheap tat dressed up as something better).

But... that being said, this does look pretty nice, there simply arent enough rgb kitchen appliances!

Really failing to see how they don't match up to competitors seeing as similar mice from something like Logitech are in roughly same price bracket. Sensors Razer use are factually at the top of the game, and materials are quite lovely.

The mouse I tried was a razer lancehead, it cost around £70 at the time, the plastic felt cheap and seemed to pick up skin oil marks really easily and was just too light for my preference, felt kinda hollow.

By comparison, the g502 hero from logitech felt much heavier (with the option to add/remove weights to your preference) and had generally better quality plastics, and was only £30.

Both had 16000 dpi sensors, nice braided cables and rgb accents, it just came down to cost and feel.

Granted it's only a sample size of one, but that one negative experience was enough to push me to other manufacturers.

I've used g502 quite a few times, never owned one. What I remember is squeaky plastic panels. Always a sign of a good fit...oh wait, the opposite :) Also, it's strange to hear complaints about materials. I've not seen a Logitech mouse to have anything near as nice to the touch as what Razer use for their mice.

That's fair enough, each to their own, but having owned both (and still owning both) i can categorically say razor uses inferior materials (at least in the model I own).

I get that you like them, but just accept the fact that not everyone's experiences may match up to your own.

In other news, Razer has just announced its first monitor.

Not interested myself*, but the RGB on it takes the craze to a whole new level.

*Why would I be? My trusty Iiyama G-Master GE2788HS is basically as good as value you can get for 1080p displays.
 
I have a fancy toaster, and it's terrible. You have to crank it up for the fist 2 slices, and after the first slices are done, it burns everything afterwards, no matter the setting.
I mean, how do you screw up a toaster?
A $20 black and decker is better.
But I love the brand name.
This is the toaster the wife insisted on having.

Exactly this, we have the toaster, which is crap, and a kettle which is actually good.
Those who have seen red dwarf gets a chuckle, those who haven't add "-ma" to the end of the name for other laughs.
 
Obviously this is a joke thread, but the bet isn't.

Perversely, the bet will cost me either way.

I don't usually gamble.

It's not about gambling or play online roulette nz
It's the question of that you want to invest in good material, I am sure about what I am talking about...
I have this machine and I can say that it is perfect for me as a Razor huge fan !

Well, today one of more unlikely purchases came into the spotlight.

Just over a year ago I found a Razer Sabertooth Xbox 360 gamepad. Mostly just got it for my collection of gamepads of various eras.

Well I thought today, how it might work with Elder Scrolls Online. Plugged it in, loaded up the game...

The thing is brilliant! Really suited to that particular game.

ESO was most likely made with gamepad in mind. So, no surprise there :)

Almost certainly. The game played very well on Xbox One. (controls and mechanics that is, performance was shot)

Having six remappable buttons on my Sabertooth means that, with the correct bindings, my thumbs never have to leave the sticks during combat. I don't think I need to tell you how advantageous that is.
 
I migrated from being a fan razor products to absolutely hating them. 3 out of 4 razor headsets have failed to faulty/ bad wiring. Some LED lights on the keyboard went out 4 months after purchase. The mouse is the only product I have had no issue with. By far the most infuriating issue is their terrible software. Razer synapse worked like a dream when I first got it. A year later an update broke everything. The background process running it would constantly crash forcing me to close all related processes and reboot the program to get sound back. The program would forget my login credentials every time I rebooted the computer. The program would sometimes lag out and crash while trying to change setting.

I was bizarre and I thought maybe it just didnt like windows 7. Nope different computer win 10 same issues
 
I know this is an old thread but since somebody else resurrected it...

No, I wouldn't have anything to do with Razor after they decided to get onboard with that ridiculous online bullying borrox (I forget the details) a couple of years ago.
