Their software is a nightmare it No Longer Works. It just redirects you to web pages. I just want to remove the hotkeys but guess I’ll just snap the keyboard in half
Razer has entered the chat
Razer Synapse is hands down the worst piece of software I’ve ever used. Their drivers can’t find their own ass with both hands and a map. If I had a dime for every time my Razer mouse or keyboard fucked up during a game and screwed me over I’d have enough money to buy an actually good mouse and keyboard.
Razer are pretty awful. Their hardware seems to come from Factory A (the units that 12 year old tech reviewers seem to get stock from) and Factory B (the units that only I seem to have gotten stock from). I had a Razer Kraken Pro headset and it was so tight it gave me an ear infection. I used to stretch it over my ATX tower every night (and I mean, it felt like it was going to break the headset). But it still never loosened. Ended up returning it.
I then bought a mouse from them and it died within 3 months, lights would just flash. Oh, and I’m a Linux user so fuck me for wanting software.
I had only logitech for years, using Windows, Linux, BSD, Dos… without any issues. The older model (probably 15years+) is still working perfectly, mechanical & PS/2. And that has been drowned in Coffee, water, whiskey and what else. Put it in the washing machine (with some clothes to bolster), let it dry and use it like the first day! 👌🏼 Even my current one, for about 10 years in service works like a charm. I admit both are #lowtech devices
Yes, they have great products. I love their headphones (had the g930 & am now using the g935) but their software is something else. They’re not updating their stuff to newer operating systems, so you have to find some workarounds.
Great products but a idgaf attitude on their drivers + software.
Has anyone made a better keyboard than IBM?
I really like my g915 TKL and there are really two main reasons.
Its low profile so it doesn’t cause me to have intense pain in my wrist from inadvertantly arching my wrist.
It also has a really nice battery life so it basically never dies on me.
The fact that it’s mechanical is nice too.
As for the cons? Well the keys have gone to shit. Bad plastic. Still usable but not nearly as pretty as it once was. Also micro USB. But it’s the same story on the super light so at least they can share a connector.
If those issues could be fixed without loosing the benefits id happily move on to something else. Until then? 915 it is. Don’t use the software either so that doesn’t really bother me much.
I still think my two illuminated K800s are the best keyboards I’ve ever had. When they brake I’m pretty sure I’ll buy more of them.
