Razer is great at covering the exact feature-set I want in a product. Fell for it with the Viper Ultimate and got a creaky, grainy button feel and a rubber coating that quickly wore down and felt slimy. Then I bit the bullet with the Barracuda headset, which went straight back. The thing was bulky, hollow, creaky, flimsy, had poor 2,4 ghz range… I keep telling myself to not fall for it, and then I’m in the market for something, and some Razer product just seems to tick the boxes. NEVER AGAIN!(?)

This isn’t news to anyone who’s ever used Razer products. They’re amazing fresh from the box, but have crap durability, horrible software, and laughable support.

The only reason they’re still so common is that you could swap out “Razer” in your comment with 90% of the other gaming or performance brands and it would be just as true if not moreso. I had to swap to razer after I had two Corsair mice fail in as many months, and what seemed like a software bug kill three Logitech mice (One I had been using previously, and two more bought to replace it, which were broken out of the box).

Man, I’ve been using the same Logitech mice (two of the same model) and headset for like eight or nine years now. Still works great.

I have teenagers. You could sell them cat turds for $90 with programmable RGB lighting.
