Razer Arctosa Budget Gaming Keyboard for Cheapass Gamers
Posted by Matt Buchanan at 3:00 AM on October 8, 2008
Razer has a pair of new keyboards, both spins on their Lycosa keyboard. The more noteworthy of the two is Arctosa, a stripped down model that retains the form factor, macro capabilities, anti-ghosting and response time while dumping the tricked out, flashing bells and whistles like backlighting to bring the price down to $US40.
The Lycosa Mirror edition swaps out of the rubber coating I had a love/hate relationship with for an all-glossy, super-shiny approach, though everything else is the same, so it's still $US80. If you like laptop-style keyboards and want one spec'd for gaming, the Lycosa breed is a pretty solid choice. [Razer]

Sounds good. Might get one to replace the HP keyboard I have been using. I would get my MX5000 desktop set to work, but logitech's software sucks a**.

The only feature I'd actually miss is the USB port. Maybe I should grab one of these, down the road...

Mirror finish? Why the heck would I want a keyboard where the keys are obscured by monitor glare?

I'm using an Everglide DKTBoard and I'm really loving it. I think it's way under appreciated. [www.everglide.com]

@longrun:
the same reason you would want a shiny monitor - it looks purdy.
