Why do people hate razer

I think you can still get them. They're called the Razer black widow ultimate classic if I'm sure. I don't have it but I've seen it.

 

Oh really? I may have to have a look. I really do like Razer's branding and the design of their products because they are sleek and just fit really well into a clean, minimalist setup - However, they just do not last. Take the keyboards for example, none of them are of rigid build quality and they are all made of plastic. For a similar price you can get a Corsair K70 - Made of solid aluiminium with real Cherry's :D :lol:

Overpriced and shit quality!

I have a taipan, the worst mouse i've ever used!! 6 months after having it i now i have to unplug it from my pc whenever i turn it on then replug it in wait 10min and even then it tracks like shit! I'd honestly rather use some generic bs peripherals of ebay for like $2 then ever use another razer product!

No don't use the taipan, it's probably their worst product. Try the naga, I have it and its great for LOL DoTA and WOW

Yeah, they're really well mixed with my setup as I have a black case.

I managed to get my naba and black widow together for 60 pounds thou

Let me tell you something, I am typing this on a Blackwidow and using my Naga Hex. I used to own those Piece of shit Kraken Pros. Their audio is so far from quality. If one HAS to have a Mic/Headphone combo the Hyper X Cloud 2's blow the kraken pros right out of the water. As for keyboards? Yeah far from bad but far from quality. They used cheap Chinese switches and some cheap plastic that they made feel good by making it matte black. The switches are not as bright as they seem, under the switches is all green making the light of them bounce better. As for the mice, the DeathAdder is the ONLY mouse I would want to use from; however, still sucks. They use even cheaper plastic, scroll wheels are complete shit and Razer Synapse sucks. For my keyboard I wish I would of gone with a Ducky and Corsair ( And I fucking hate Corsair ) and for the mouse, a Mionix Castor NAOS 7000. For Audio.... Please I wish no one has to auffer with the Kraken Pros or anything from them. Audio is complete and utterly garbage and should be considered for nothing.

Where can you see which edition you have? I have a normal blackwidow and the LED in it is blue, and MX blue switches. No idea from which year it is... It can be 2012 tho :D I already have it 3 years.

I have the same, never had any issues with it hardware wise and I've had it for ~3 years.

I bought a Deathadder about 6 months to a year after I bought the keyboard, and the mouse scroll wheel broke 6 months ago :\ I couldn't find any other mice I like for the same price so I bought another one.

Oh, and before the Deathadder, I had a Naga Epic for a month or two, it was terrible (I returned it).

Would not bother. Go for a Corsair or Ducky with if you want simple and pure quality. As stated above, Typing this on a Blackwidow

You may enjoy the Mionix NAOS 7000 if you ever decide to get a new mouse. Very good, quality. Imagine the DeathAdder but better.

I love Razer, I don't like them because of their fancy lights I like them due to the high quality they put in their products. Please just tell me why you don't like them, it boggles my mind.

Overpriced

Quality sucks ass

 

Razer just sucks in general :/ 

 

You can get a Corsair K70 for around the same price and you get a higher quality product.

My keyboard is still going strong :) If  i would have the money i would get a ducky or a steelseries tho. The razer logo makes me going "meh" now and then... 

If you want my attention, quote meh! D: or just stick an @samcool55 in your post :3

I'll give you an example to make it more clear to you.

 

Razer launches the razer blackwidow. A keyboard with MX blue switches, the switches are not cheap, but the quality is very good.

Razer gives it a price to match, everything is fine.

 

New cheaper switches become available, quality is worse, and price is lower. Razer swaps the switches used in the blackwidow from MX blue to cheap switches.

 

Retail price stays exacly the same. But the quality went down. Soo yea...

Captain, this is out of topic, but... your profile picture is too cool to be ignored

So, where does that scene came from?

Razer do get a bashing and I've not had any issues with them.

I reckon the only reason I like my Blackwidow and Deathadder is cause I got them for £30 (brand new).

If I was to pay the RRP price, I would've suicided.

Honestly, I think it has a to do with what you could get for the same price as a lot of Razer products, as well as since they are so popular, you also hear the most about their quality control and faulty products.


I never had a problem with my Razer Deathadder or Blackwidow, but I did just get Mionix Castor because I had the money, and was wanting something new.


Pretty happy with the Castor, I may get the Naos later but it's one of those subtle things with the shape that I'll probably get used to.

Razer makes decent stuff, but hardly make the best, I could think of three products I'd recommend over the Death Adder. Zowie FK 2, Mionix Castor, and Logitech G302.

I have never had any issues with any razer products that I own. My razer Deathstalker (which I've had for 6 months) and Kraken 7.1 headset is bloody fantastic and I've never had any issues with them. Also my razer Naga Molten has performed brilliantly for the past 3-4 years with no complaints. Whether I've been lucky or not is another matter but I think the quality is damn good.

 

Whilst I do agree that they're a bit overpriced, I'd still prioritise getting razer gear over other brands due to my awesome experience with them.

Then  I'm pretty sure you got the 2013 special/retro edition, which is a throwback to when Razer used blue in everything, instead of green (Note: I am aware that they started out with green, then moved to blue, then back to green, but razer's blue led products were from when razer really grew into their own.)

Hey! New SIgnature! 

 

I'm supposedly a person on the Internet, but you'll never know if I'm human or not ;)

It's not a limited run or anything, but it was something that razer did for a year, as a throwback to when their colors were still blue.

Well, i'm happy they did that because it actually matches the rest of my build :D Makes it look like one of their better moments, oh well :)

Razer products are generally overpriced. They have decent quality but durability is shit. Razer products are really flashy but their RGB is very good
