Cons: Ive tried this keyboard on 4 of my systems, during gameplay, or actually anything it stops working. The lights are still on but no response from any of the keys. Not sure if i got a bad one or something in my house is magically making this keyboard not work.
Ive tried new USB drivers from my motherboards, and also downloading the latest drivers for Windows bit. No such luck. Cons: keys stuck in mid game almost every day. My ten dollar keyboard works better than it!!! Pros: They keyboard is gorgeous. I love the mirror finish, it took awhile to get used to, but once I got comfortable with it, I came to prefer it.
The keyboard isn't super noisy, they keys don't require a long travel to hit, and overall it feels great. Cons: The problem with this keyboard is that keys will randomly stop working.
You'll be in the middle of a gaming session and your S key will just stop working. They key itself still moves fine, but you push it, and nothing. This can happen to any key, seemingly randomly. Some nights, it's perfect all night. Other nights, it will happen 3 or 4 times.
Simply unplugging they keyboard for a couple seconds and plugging it back in will fix it, but who wants to crawl under their desk 4 times a night in the middle of an intense game? Overall Review: A simple google search will show that this is a huge widespread problem.
We use non-mirrored versions of this keyboard at work, and I'd heard rumors of this same issue but never experienced it at my workstation. I guess I thought they were all making it up, I don't know. I should have known better to buy one for home. Sold by: Newegg Shipped by Newegg.

After putting this keyboard through its paces I doubt seriously Ill use another brand. Between its high class looks, One of the finest gaming keyboards ever isnt quite fit for plain-old typing.
Digg del. Typing on the Lycosa Mirror certainly takes some getting used to. With bad or limited software, it can really affect the performance of the hardware, the Silverstone Raven mouse was a great example of that. Razer has always been good about including a lot of features in their software, this time was no exception. You have the ability to record full macros, insert delays, and even open a program. On top of that, you can set the macro for one time only, repeat while pressed, and repeat until next key is pressed.
The interface for this is very simple, you just click on the key you would like to program and it opens up the options. The software does also give you the option to turn the keyboard lights on, off, and to the WASD layout. Overall, the software and features are very impressive; they also have a normal Razer look to them as you can see in the pictures. Razer prides themselves on their focus on the gaming crowd; it is what sets them apart from the thousand other peripheral manufactures.
Even the most dedicated gamers spend time on their computers other than playing games. Because of that, I'm going to break down my notes by in game and out of game. I did most of my in game testing playing Team Fortress 2, my out of game testing was spent right here writing reviews and posting on the internet. Other than the fully programmable keys the slim keycap structure with " Hyperesponse" is the biggest gaming feature included with the Lycosa.
The idea is no matter how low you make the key response you still have a delay from the time it takes to push the key down. Razer basically made the key throw a little shorter without making it too short. I can see the though process and why they focused on it.
The question is in game did it help? It's hard to tell if the shorter throw makes a big difference, I did find the keyboard to be very responsive while playing. I didn't find the programmable keys to be useful in my gaming, but I believe that it could be a very useful feature to some people. Personally I found myself missing the extra macro buttons from my G15 along with the on the fly programmability.
And not just in terms of feel. I really wanted to like the Razer Lycosa, for its svelte looks, blue backlighting, and for daring to eschew any dedicated gaming keys. And after a while I did, as the smaller sibling to the Tarantula it overcame initial dislike to offer up an average typing experience and an above average gaming one. But the experience is marred by several flaws, meaning that unless you feel a particular affinity for the rubberised, laptop-like keys or the ability to macro-program any key, there are better options out there for the money.
