Yup got it as freebies from Lingloong. Tried to sell it off but the price going down very low.
So i decided to use it 1st

BW Expert at RM289. a better choice.

lol, saw a lot of people selling at garage sales too
difference of rm100 just because of the backlit,
arctosa got audio port?

but still no baclit lol

Arctosa doesn't have audio ports or USB ports. It's just the most basic 'gaming' keyboard in the Razer keyboard line. If you comparing with Lycosa, then the difference is just the backlite, audio ports and the USB ports. Oh, and the touch panel. Arctosa media control is not touch panel.

i see, i thought arctosa using touch panel also
but the audio port is quite troublesome also
u need to connect the audio cable into the audio port then if u are using speaker then u have to unplug it again,
u have to use audio splitter then only u can switch between speaker or headset
i'm using logitech g510 there are only 1 usb cable for keyboard and integrated audio on keyboard,
haven't try it yet so not sure whether enough power supply for the headset or not

Does anyone have an opinion regarding mechanical keyboard?
Tried using them, found them surprisingly pleasant to use. Has anyone used this kind of keyboard for gaming?

Yeah its pretty comfy for gaming.
I use a Steel Series Mechanical keyboard. Its just a wee bit noisy but not a issue when you've got headphones on.
Response is pretty fine.

Lotsa people used mech KB for gaming, claims to have better feedback and enhance their precision, typing on is is pleasant as well but the price tag is higher than those of membrane keys and they are usually noisier too,

why don't you go to the mech KB thread and ask there?

Okay. Currently asking then what to get. Thanks~

Like everything else, you need to specify budget then everyone can make recommendations on that.
New Mechkeyboards can be had from RM150+ to RM1000 and beyond

add me sidewinder x6 user.. thanks in advance.. =)

I don't think TS is watching this thread anymore . BTW I'm looking for more reliable keyboard for gaming, budget RM 100-200(can add more if I cut budget for summer sales),no need bling-bling anymore. Currently using OCZ Alchemy.

Well.. for reliability can trust Logitech IMO.. the G105 has green LED backlighting and 6 macro keys over 3 profiles, at about RM190 its probably worth it

sidewinder x4 also ok.. has led backlit and more cheap..
also there is logitech g105.. can get around RM 140.. (refer PC depot pricelist)

Go to mechanical keyboard thread, plenty of expertise there.

Added on June 27, 2012, 6:07 pmFrankly speaking, for your budget less than 200 or if you hope that is less than 150, what you get will just like a very ordinary keyboard and you paid the money just for the brand and gimmick thingy.

If you insist, I will suggest try logitech, for example, not offensive but for me Razer arctosa or lycosa just "rubbish". A keyboard below RM100 may serve better.

Added on June 27, 2012, 6:10 pmPersonally not so recommend X4 or X6, but just my preference and opinion.

1st, the keycap surface just very slippery.
2nd, if I not mistaken (not sure for X4), they are using butterfly layout, compare the WASD area, they keysize and position are slightly different for most of the keyboard.

I want to ask, what are the options for cheap, less faulty compact (87 keys) keyboards?
And is there like very expensive compact keyboard brands?

Can add me, Razer Lycosa Mirror.... thanks mate~!
