true

[Superiority]

However, i dislike the switches on their keyboards, there laser mice ofc, but i love the razer deathadder, its great.

[Matty2hatty]

Yeah the MX copies infuriate me

[niofalpha]

Because their products cut corners in lots of ways, but charge as much as something that's as good if not better.

I just think it is because people are accustomed to one thing (Like Logitech or Corsair items) and then Razer is there and then they just feel like hating on it because they have never tried it out. That's what happened to a friend of mine, and then I let him use some of my gear (which is Razer) and now he is actually a fan of Razer. That was just my experience though.

They are low quality plastic, dont last long (atleast their headphones), gone throu 3 in a year and a friend of mine went trou 2 krakens 3 nagas and 1 deathstalker

I've had the Kraken 7.1's for over a year now. No issues, no nothing. Mic sounds great, drivers sound great. The only complaint I have is the unintuitive software.

What is the point in buying another product twice after it broke? Seriously.

Bad quality control, bad choice on components for the majority of their products, no on board memory .

We've discussed this topic here before and I've had my fair share with Razer products.

I got them replace at the place i bought them becuse i know a guy that works there but then i gave up and bought steelseries and Marshall, and my friend is just a razer fanboy so he will keep getting new whenever it breaks

 

Edit 2: its hard 2 find headphones that match my hair colours

I remember a few threads on Notebook forums. Several guys went through 3-5 RMAs before finally getting a working Razer Blade, a 2000$ laptop.

Their QC is abysmal. Price is absurd as well

[UnlimitedTMD]

they just seem to do a lot of stuff pretty good, but fuck it up with some major flaws or features that make the price go skyhigh

[NeverNude]

Razer has some serious QC issues. The only products in their entire catalog I would recommend are the Deathadder and Naga.

They're so overrated by all 12 year old "PC GURU'S" (same for Alienware)

I like the naga it want my personal choice as it was a gift

[dtaflorida]

I've had a Megalodon for over 6 years now and forgotten it was a Razer product till recently. Still works... use it every day nearly.

i've been using razer products for around 12 years now since my first viper which is still working to this day mind you. since then i've added, in order:

 

imperator - used for a year before passing it on to my brother as i wanted the side-buttons on the naga epic

naga epic - purchased in 2010 and still working but suffering from wear and tear from constant use over the years

goliathus - purchased in 2014, its textile. hard to mess up

blackwidow chroma - purchased mid 2015, had to RMA because certain keys did not provide tactile feedback. RMA unit ok so far

naga chroma 2016 edition - purchased early 2016, currently in RMA because side buttons were not snapped in place

 

i think a lot of the hate at the moment from my personal view is justified. when razer first started out their selling tangent was quality gaming gear and they were extremely well made for the time. but over the years as they grew into prominence and became more mainstream there has been a steep dip in their quality and as many have mentioned their production QC/A. something went extremely wrong after 2011 i feel. before this time my products were great in form and function, never had to RMA. both the products i got in 2015/16 have had to be RMA-ed. i think they've lost their way abit and with other brands catching up like Logitech for mice and audio, Corsair for keyboards, etc - i think people are finding harder and harder to justify Razer's premium pricing when their products are no longer anymore premium than the rest of the pack. 

 

as a razer fan and long time user, i'd say that the Old Razer was great. you'll hear many users with older products that are still functioning. if i had not purchased new products, i'd probably be in this camp but since i purchased new products i can say that the New Razer is absolute rubbish and the hate razer is receiving is justified.
