Razer Lycosa Keyboard Review
You might have tried several keyboards but none really feels good. If that's the case then take a look at todays review; the Razer Lycosa keyboard. This is the latest gaming keyboard which has non slip rubber buttons which probably will come in handy when gaming for hours. It also have backlight for the keys so you can see what keys you are using in the dark. Lets have a closer look at what we think about the keyboard.

The product:

The product comes packed in a nice box with a huge picture of the keyboard itself. This is a standard shaped keyboard for most users convenience. Inside I found a small folder that held stickers, authentication slip, manual, and a cd with drivers and software.

You can barely see the print on the keys when the keyboard is not plugged in. When you feel the keys the first time you will feel the non slip cover on the keys and they feel very soft to type on and barely make any noise. I would personally use this keyboard if it was natual or at least a bit ergonomiclly shaped. Most keyboards have just one single USB cable connected to them but with this keyboard you get four cables, one is to plug the keyboard in and the other USB is for the extra USB port on the keyboard. You also have a pink and green sound connector since the keyboard also have plugins for your mic and speakers.

The left picture shows the plugins I was talking about earlier, I find this to be a good idea since you wont have to crawl back behind the computer to actually be able to plug things in.
If you take a look at the right picture instead you will see the finish on the keyboard, the edges have a shiny finish that is very sensitive to fingerprints and dirt. So far this is the only "bad" thing about the keyboard since I end up washing or wiping it off all the time.
