Today I've bought my 1st Razer keyboard, the Lycosa. I was actually looking for Microsoft X6 Sidewinder keyboard but it's sold out, so I bought this instead. I've check the google for user feedback of this keyboard. One particular comment complaints that the rubber lost its coating after a few month of using. Well I'm kinda worried coz I have sweaty hands, so I'm wondering, what about you guys? Is the key durable enough? Other than that I'm pretty satisfied with this keyboard.

I have a friend who's been using a Lycosa since it was released in Malaysia. Still in tip-top condition and no rubber peeling issues as far as I can tell and because of that, I got one myself last month =)

The Onza's analog stick tensioners are a great idea and the controller looks terrific =)

Being an Xbox360 gamer (not very active anymore) myself, the analog sticks will definitely be useful for FPS type games and even some racing games.

But what would the extra buttons function as? Are they customizable to our own liking like how side buttons on a mouse work?
....I honestly doubt that. I think they're just gonna function as extra keys for mapping the thumb buttons to. Not very useful if you ask me...

Below is just my little experience of me using the Razer Sphex which I bought roughly 3 months ago. At the beginning, it is 100% like most of the websites review, that mentioned the "sticky" bottom will seem to last even after multiple rounds of peeling and re-stick on the table top.

But after using it and I think I only peel it off and stick it back for not more than 10 times, the sticky part of the bottom starts to wear off (some part of the pad no longer sticky). When I pick the mouse pad up and look thru the room light, I can see the pad has quite a number of small holes (which I think is where the sticky material has wear off). So, what I'm saying is, this mouse pad will not last unless you stick it down and don't peel it off for good.

Second issue I yet to confirm will be the wearing down of the mouse feet when you use it on it. As I read from lot of the feedback that hard mat will tend to wear off the mouse feet.

I had a similar experience with the Sphex not long ago. I stuck the thing on my table which is wooden, and when I peeled it off 2 months later, it no longer sticks. All the sticky materials are either on my table or covered in old lacquer. My table now has a lot of little dots on it where the Sphex used to be.

I still think the Sphex is a good mousepad though. Tracking and glide is rather good for a lower-end Razer mousepad. I gave it to my friend (to use with his old DA) though it no longer sticks as good as before. To solve the non-stickiness issue, I reccomended him to use blue-tack to stick the corners of the mouse pad. I used to do that for my old battlepad pro (not sure if u guys know about this one).

About the wearing down of the feet, I feel it's about the same as a Destructor. I'm currently using the Imperator with a Destructor and it looks to me like the amount of wear on the feet is the same as when I was using my old Mamba(already RMA-ed and sold) with a Sphex.

May I ask if u also get a used unit for ur RMA-ed Mamba?

No, I got a brand new one. I thought it was a used one too until I checked the bottom (when my friend/buyer opened it). Perfect condition. No scratches at all. Haha what a surprise.

Yea maybe if we go to Ban Leong for any RMAs, we should tell em we're LYN forum members. Which one is You Han btw? Is he the guy who looks like he's in his late 30's?
Btw, I remember seeing one chick working at Ban Leong when I went for RMA earlier this year. She was quite hot =p

oo, ur battery last time got such problem onot?
weird one, drop from 3 bars to 2 bars in less than an hour.

I think it's normal. My old Mamba would drop to 2 bars after an hour (maybe less) with full charge. 2nd and 3rd bars seems to last way longer though.

okay.. thanks. my firmware is 1.08 latest version.
mayb everyone's mamba is the same.

btw, for razer mamba users, do u guys always switch off ur mamba when ur not using? like overnite liddat. ur computer is off, do u usually off ur mamba ? if u don off, will it consume battery? im sure it does rite? but isit alot?

What I used to do is charge the Mamba every night, take it off the dock in the morning, use it and go wired once it's low on batt. When night comes, I put it on the dock again. That's only when I'm on break and got time for gaming though.

Usually, I charge it at night, use in the morning, leave it on til I get home in the evening, use it, and charge again before sleeping.

I rarely off the mouse. I only off it if I'm going on a trip for more than a day.
