Presentation was good, the package was very attractive, and the software had a cool look to it. As said before, the color scheme was very unfortunate.

Razer Arctosa 'Black' Gaming Keyboard Review

Let's talk keyboards, shall we? They have letters A-Z and numbers 1-0, some F Keys, and a ton of other keys that have seemingly found their way into your typing vocabulary. But are all keyboards the same? Some would say, for the most part yes, and I...

A Plethora of Macro and Profile Settings ; On The Fly Profile and Macro Switching ; Sleek Piano Black Design ; Comfortable ; Responsive ; Able To Set Programs As Hot Keys

The Construction of the Keyboard makes it feel Easily Breakable ; All Black Design Is A Fingerprint and Dust Magnet ; Macro Keys Are Not The Easiest To Setup

Razer Arctosa

Gaming keyboard

Razer gaming hardware has graced our desks many times, and generally it's all top-notch stuff, so it was with relatively open arms that I welcomed the Arctosa keyboard into my life for review this month.
