nah, it is membrane, cost only rm60, it produces more mech than any1 did in a tvz though.

imo just stick with whatever mouse/keyboard u;re comfortable with. adapting to new ones just make me rage.

i had always been a razer fan until i bought marauder, i think the apm light is cool despite the outlook out it (which is quite ugly), then when i got it, i realise the light is some shitty light, not like what it display in the picture of the razer website (which is spotlight like), but it looks quite nice in the dark but hell, i dont even stay in the dark even once when im using the laptop, then i realise, razer is started to produce tron, transformers, star wars kind of keyboard, mouse, headset etc. and i think, razer is shit, for gamers by gamers slogan doesnt mix with tron transformer and starwars kinda thing, who knows what razer will produce next? green lantern? shit

i think the mouse is alright after im using it for almost 3 years, its a copperhead, becuz i was using it with my shitty laptop which only have 20 frame rate per sec with dota, the mouse pointer keep shaking whenever i move it slowly, even in the windows, i thought razer mice is over rated, guess my shitty laptop has some low resolution and thats why, i can even feel the shakiness when i my mouse now in a better laptop but just slightly

i had a death adder, its so worn out now its not even funny lol. even my sister that i was using it as i passed it on to her also ditched it in a hurry in favor for a new cheaper mx518. im using the g9x now and its just leagues better than the deathadder. at least the damn thing doesnt peel off, and the Teflon feets are much ticker than the razer's :/

clue 1, weight, it should be much more heavy than a nrmal keyboard

clue 2, use a ruler to pluck out the key cap to see whats up underneath. problem solved.



death adder.................rubber came out in less than 1 year. proceed to buy steelseries ikari optical, then buy ikari laser when im done with it. now both still healthy. mom still using optical to play bejeweled and very happy about it. thinking of changing a mouse d tho...........cuz i jusdt realized the unsually big mouse body is refraining my movement at some part of the game...etc mass boxing and some clickings, big mouse is a pain in the ass........

its pretty shitty cuz once u get used to the curve, its hard to get comfortable with normal keyboard liao lol


i think currently roccat pyra and razer spectre top the list of best mouse for sc2 lol, i used to use microsoft inteli explorer cuz of my giant sized palm, but now i use the tiny little pyra, my hand is slow and lazy with big mouse =s
pyra only cost 1/2 the price of copperhead which is another fail experiment mouse i bought, barely use it and gave it away

I have always been using normal keyboard. Why spent rm200+ on a keyboard that works almost the same.

Then i got lured by the mech keyboard talks in the skype. So i bought a ducky mech with help from zhikun. RM279

First day, screw sc2, i can spent whole day typing away on that notepad cause i never know i can type so fast and the click and clack sounds is just awesome

It is like all this while i been driving a proton, then i get a BMW 5 series. The minute i press the gas pedal i dont feel like wanting to stop. The acceleration sound (click clack) makes me proud and happy, the performance awe me.

Like everyone else, i will say "Why didnt i get this sooner? this is awesome!"

If i lose this one, i will pay higher price for a new one, my fingers are spoiled, it will remain so.

# a pity on my logitech gaming keyboard rm90 two months old replaced violently by the new ducky that click clack all nite long

then again, that is just me

Lol I have a friend that told me the exact same thing, getting used to the curve means he can't use other keyboards properly anymore lololol.

@quest&quaza
I keep hearing about how bad the rubber coating on razer mice are. Fortunately for me my razer DA has been used by me for the past 3 years (seriously) and the condition is still pretty good, with no tearing of the coating. I guess I have gentle hands biggrin.gif

i have been using copperhead for almost 3 years, still in good condition despite the rubber which is covering the light is a bit peeled off, u know, some ppl just continuously smash their mice after moving it to a side and do it repeatedly like it has not enough sensitivity, any mouse will spoil in this way i guess

It look something like white and squarish underneath the key. Should be a mech keyboard. Would it be any different than those RM250+ mech keyboard?

When you say white and squarish did you mean this http://www.node.mu/images/mk96/mk96_switches.jpg? If you did then yes it's mechanical, it uses White Alps switches. More info here-> http://geekhack.org/showwiki.php?title=ALPS+switches

lol...
now u went TF2 wit it rite sleep.gif"

to me the best analogy of a mech vs membrane keyboard is cameras...
mech = SLR
membrane = digital cameras
digital are newer tech and cheaper but SLR remained as the high end ones due to their capabilities, build quality and image...

----------

as for the mouse, everything is subjected to wear and tear...
u dun expect a mouse to last u like 5 years or so especially for something like rubber which is subjected to chemical reactions just being exposed to air LOL

seriously? razer spectre best mouse? why

well, after the rubber is peeled, whats left is a cheap plastic cover which, you know, you paid premium of over rm200 and that is what you get, sure feels bad lol.

that, and the teflon also fades pretty fast (3years or so) compared to most logitechs that can last you much longer, and they even have a tested and proven spec sheet (few kilometers of glide roflmao or how many millions of clicks etc) for each of their gaming series mices

razer on the other hand only provided fancy boxes, fancy design (LED bling bling! ill be the first to admit for falling for it) , and hella fancy marketing doh.gif

as a casual photographer who owns both PNS/SLR cameras, i find that analogy highly offensive because you're clearly mistaken on a lot of points. just checking: do you know much about photography at all?

an expert photographer cannot take a good picture with a digital camera, no matter what angle he is trying to use, a good starcraft2 player can pwn a very good player with a membrane keyboard
