Digital camera reviews of Microsoft Reclusa Gaming Keyboard (Black)
Digital camera Review: Decent
Summary: 3 Stars
I tend to buy things based on price and reviews. I don't like spending a ton of money on something that'll be obsolete in a year, if you know what I mean.
Anyway, I wanted a simple backlit keyboard and this was on sale (cheaper than current price). The backlight works great; I can see the keys just right even in total darkness. The keyboard is wider than avg b/c of the extra keys. I use the computer a lot for gaming but I'm pretty simple so I don't use the extra macro keys. I didn't install the software in hopes that the extra keys would not work. Well, unfortunately, the "cute" shortcut keys (home, email and music) on the left (next to the tab, caps lock and shift) were already enabled. Urgh! Plenty of times instead of hitting the caps lock (for example) I would accidently hit the email key. Very frustrating b/c this causes my Outlook to launch and minimizes my game! Terrible when you're about to score a point. Still trying to figure out how to disable these keys. Other than that, one of the little tabs for the wrist pad has already broken off.
Overall, its a decent backlit keyboard. I would not recommend it for gaming IF you're not going to use the macros.
Digital camera Review: Excellent Keyboard
Summary: 5 Stars
I am very happy with this keyboard. My computer is in my home theater room and I often use it during commercials while I am watching TV in the evening. The lighted keyboard is really nice as I don't have to turn on any lights.Digital camera Review: Fantastic Keyboard
Summary: 5 Stars
This keyboard is great. I love the feel of this keyboard. I bought it for the backlit keys, though, so I really like that feature. The programmable buttons are great. I enjoy having a volume wheel on the keyboard, too, instead of up and down buttons.Digital camera Review: Good board for those with more to do than just play games
Summary: 4 Stars
Pros:
- Sticky feet. As long as the board is not tilted on its rear feet, this thing is going NOWHERE.
- Backlit keys. Very nice implementation. Easy to see unlike Saitek II which were much too dim.
- Short cut keys. Very handy for both games and non-game applications.
- Good feedback on key presses. You'll know when you pressed a key.
Cons:
- Very stiff keys. Requires heavier key press than normal keyboards. Seems optimized for WASD pressing rather than report writing. This means some mistyping in non-game situations but not too bad once you get used to the stiffness.
- Smooth plastic microsoft bezel. This collects dust out of the air like a swiffer collects dust off the floor. Pretty annoying but does not affect function.
- BIG. The keyboard is much bigger than it seems like it should be. If you have a small desk and you want to use the wrist rest be warned - it may not fit. Check the product dimensions first!
Digital camera Review: Good deal for what it got, is razer after all.
Summary: 5 Stars
For 50 plus dollar, might seen been too much for just a keyboard, of course is for everyone, but for gamer, or want a keyboard that is cool looking and conform, this is the one you want. No need to spend nearly 100 dollar for the other keyboard, this got the feature you need but does suffer some cons.
Pro: Blue Backlight all time
Conform keyboard and pad
Fast key reponse
Good amount of key for shortcut and hotkey
Good Look
2 USB PORT
Volume and Zoom Control
Price good for what it offer
Cons: No razer logo anywhere on the keyboard eventhough it is co production from microsoft and razer.
Back can't be turn off when the pc is on.
Missing couple key hot key such as no mute, skip, homepage etc..
No headphone or microphone, bu tno keyboard at this price ranger included.
Overall, no doubt this is the best keyboard if youn plan to spend a above average mid range price tag for a gaming keyboard. To be honese i think this keyboard look better than any logitech keyboard has to offered.
