- Strengths:
- -Nice Grip
-Very quiet when buttons are pushed
-Light are cool
-Lots of functions
- Weaknesses:
- -Terrible explanation on macro set up
-Read lot of reviews about rubber grips fading away after using
about a month ( i didn't use it for long enough to experience it myself )
- Summary:
- I exchanged this keyboard with other keyboard after using it for few days. The keyboard keeps malfuncion ( all buttons not working ) when used for couple of hours and had to de-plug then re-plug it to be used normally again. My friend experienced samething as well. Went to Razer forum and found out loads of these keyboards have same problem. Overall, terrible keyboard. Don't waste your money buying this.

- Strengths:
- -slim
-rubber keys
-macro capabilities
- Weaknesses:
- -keys fail frequently and you have to unplug the keyboard to get them to work again, but that does not always work
-touch panel does not work well
-the rubber on the keys fades fast and soon you cant see the letter on the key only a blue gap of light
-macros are very difficult of assign
- Summary:
- this keyboard has a high initial value, it looks and feels great but it goes downhill fast. More often than i can remember I was unplugging this keyboard because the keys constantly stop working. The touch panel almost never works, and the drivers don't do anything to fix this. And for a keyboard of this price it should not have these issues! My advise is if you are thinking of buying this keyboard DONT, pay the extra 15$ and get the blackwidow instead

- Strengths:
- to many to count
- Weaknesses:
- poor instructions on how to set macros.
Drivers on cd didnt work properly with Windows 7 had to down load them of their site.
- Summary:
- I bought this after seeing reviews of it on youtube. I find that it is hard for me to make macros and it isnt all that clear (for me) how to do certain things. But the fact that the keyboard lights up totally makes up for the macros thing.
Classic Razer Product

- Strengths:
- shape and style
low profile keys and amazing feel for gaming and normal use
multimedia touch pad
EXCELLENT software and programabillity
- Weaknesses:
- if the rubber wears off than that
sometimes hard to see blue LED key symbol when lounging back in chair, if you don't know where keys are!!
- Summary:
- This is an amazing keyboard which I picked up on a price match for a good price. I wanted a normal looking keyboard that still had a gaming look and functionality to it, which perfectly describes the Lycosa. I am not a fan of huge keyboards with a million extra buttons because I like my desk space and I also use it for work. For gaming the ability to save different keyboard profiles and configurations to different programs and to change on the fly is great and it works perfectly.

- Strengths:
- Keys feel great. good grip on the finger tips
slim design
no extra useless keys
the touch volume panel in the top right works great.
USB & audio inputs are a nice touch
- Weaknesses:
- The keys wear out very fast. no protective coating on them. After a few months of use the WASD keys no longer have the WSAD labels on them, rather just a big clear hole leaking blue light.
Software is rather useless, havnt installed the packaged software since the first time I used it
- Summary:
- Decent keyboard if youre looking for something that looks nice, has backlit keys, and doesnt have a million macro keys that youll never use.
Unfortunately the price for this thing is a bit much for the quality of the build. Razor dropped the ball on this one. Suggestion: stick to logitech for keyboards!
