Word of warning to potential buyers. Razer is no longer the ‘By gamers for gamers’ kinda company that they started off as. They’re now more like the EA of the gaming peripheral market. They charge extremely high prices for hardware that is mediocre in both quality and performance .
They’re now banking more on the good reputation that they previously built for themselves instead of the goods that they sell. I’ve heard that one of their keyboards has a LCD screen that occasionally pushes pop up ads to the user. Add to that, their end user support has started gaining a bad reputation.
Consider Corsair, Steelseries and Mad Catz for keyboards, mice and headsets
