All USB keyboards have a ghosting limit the Lycosa is better because it allows you to press upto six keys at the same around the WASD keys but if your a gamer that uses the directional arrow keys then you are still limited to three keys pressed at the same time. The Lycosa's real advantage is the keys dont wobble or have to be pressed a huge distance. The first Razer Lycosas had bugs that were replaced if the owner returned it the new mirror version has hardy shiny keys that dont wear.
After 3 months of use, the rubber peels VERY BAD. leaving you with ugly spots with the plastic now showing (now that the rubber is gone) The mirror does not have rubber. And as far as slip goes, you must eating sum greazy sh** in order to slip that bad... the Mirror is cheaper. STAY AWAY FROM THE RUBBER VERSION. i would put a link for you to see, but youtube wont let me.... some of the keys are now FULLY plastic with no rubber!!! You have been warned.
Hey raze I play a lot of steam so I play games like Counter Strike Source, L4D2, TF2, and BC2. I heard this keyboard isn't good for shooters because of they keys. Please let me know, that would be great.
The keyboard is HORRIBLE it constantly will have keys stop working or constantly repeat uncontrollably. Just Google it there are millions of hits for this problem :( Their customer service is horrible basically calling you a liar and tell you that you are not having this problem.
does your spacebar rattle? to where it sounds loose? because mine does that and its very annoying. Also my S key registers when i dont even press it down, just when my finger rubs on it like when you type normally. its really annoying. i might get a refund from Razer because my return policy is up. any suggestions?
@howard95: Yes you do need antighosting away from WASD. If you need to walk, crouch and reload then yes you do need antighosting on more keys than WASD.
HELP ME!!! My Lycosa's back light would turn off not all the time but sometimes when I reboot my pc. I have configurated it to the point which the back lights should be on at all time. I set it on a profile and I even turn off the power saving feature on my USB ports. Nevertheless, my Lycosa's back light still turns off sometime which is very frustrating. If anyone experienced the similar problem in the past can you please tell me how to fix it? Thank you!
why -1? he asked something pretty important!! well my guess is that half a point went off cuz of the fact that you can't see shit when the lights are off, and no second language ;( but for most of us, we don't really care.
just the shine..if i wer u go for the original not the mirror its easily to get dirty and in personal its not that impressive at all coz i got mine and i returned it bcoz of malfunctional keys plus its freezes when im playing games i think every 30mins like that.
ok button is rubber it make ur finger nonslip if u wanted to know ok,yes the keybored frell like a teddy bear that soft and rember dont eat food while playing with a 80$ keybored and a 70$ mouse lol
It feels like a really slim keyboard. Kind of like what you would see in hacker movies. The buttons are very light on the fingers. Traditional keyboards would have you press a good 2-3mm in, but the Lycosa is more like a light tap.
wanna ask, i tried putting my speaker's plug onto my lycosa keyboard. the sounds are way much softer and theres no bass coming out from my speaker. whys it like that is yours the same too?
reply back fast pls. urgen. soo i can get it back to change a new one
nope the lycosa doesnt have anti-ghosting for all its keys. only for those near the WASD gaming cluster ( don't doubt me I e-mailed razer and asked them why my Lycosa ghosts, and they said it's NORMAL )
yes i have the DeathAdder and this.. they quite nice, sometimes the keyboard locks up keys and i have to restart it... but its not htat big of a deal.
i swaped this keyboard from my g11 which broke ... i preferr this so much more its more compact and the thing is u can program any key that just owns !
this is Logan, remember, I did not review this... and I could give a flying f*ck if they sell... I just do this for the community. WE DO NOT GET PAID... megotrice really likes this keyboard it seems.
Anyway, I do not delete comments just because you have an opinion. I think it rocks that you call us out! We will work on the formula.
razer drivers use to give BSOD's and i belive still do. for some users.
G15 2007 Version will still be my fav.
allso razer support stinks and thats the turth.
read the TOS if u dont buy there products from them they will not filfull there warranty it says it must be bought from razer to get there 2 year limited warranty.
1) In Vista, pressing > 3 keys simultaneously, they would all stick (not physically, but the key combo would repeat). The only way to stop it was reboot.
2) The only position to see the lighted keys brightly enough was from the unnatural top-down position and thus defeated the purpose of the lighting.
3) Key press is very "spongy" feeling and key-up to key-down distance was too far.
yeah, you can program any of the keys, i have this thing, and its awesome!!!!! for me, its like the turantula, except everything is improved, more macro options, rubber, flat keys, and all the keys light up. (i know some people dont care about that, but i play in the dark a lot, so i dotn really want to buy the battlelight...)

"Now with most keyboards you cant have 3 keys pressed down at the same time, but the Razer Lycosta however it has no limit with its antighosting"
I dont mind you advertising yourself, but dont lie...
The Lycosta only has anti ghosting around the WASD keys. You cannot have 2 arrows pressed at the same time.
This is so silly, from makers of a "gaming" keyboard... to not have a BASIC function like full anti ghosting. Most cheap keybaords have it...

2) The only position to see the lighted keys brightly enough was from the unnatural top-down position and thus defeated the purpose of the lighting.
