hi razer fans. is the nostromo a worthy buy? any users here? because i see many ppl selling off their nostromo is it because of something bad? how does it perform compared to the logitech G13? the orbweaver looks nice with the number keys on top of the WASD but it is kinda out of my budget for the moment. orbweaver still goes for RM399 right?

oh and can we still unscrew the thumbstick for the dpad only?

wow nostromo replacement the tartarus is coming out when?

anyone used the tartarus yet?

how's the nostromo performing? the only gripe is lack of "number" keys to switch weapons for FPS if you know what i mean. haha...the nostromo and the tartarus has similar profiles...so i am wondering.

couldnt justify buying a 400+ keypad. LOL...

wanted to get the tartarus. is there a way not to register the synapse? to be able to use the keypad without registering anything.

finally i bought the tartarus before i damaged my lappie keyboard. hehehe...but one thing, the damn base wasnt flat and wobble a lil. i read some reviews also saying the same thing. damn razer quality. and i got pwned bad in FPS, cos need to remaster my finger movement memory to the tartarus. the spacebar "button" is positioned too close to what i'd like.

it is a dumb product. my first was a copperhead, it double clicked in less than 6 months. then i avoided razer for soooooooo many years. only now no choice, need a keypad and only tartarus fits the range. logi's too large.

the same can be said to you. i just point out the razer qc sucks. do you see my whole page of complains? not really. my initial post was to agree to another poster that the quality has real issues. you can find lots of double click issue after that batch. mine is not a one off case. I am using another G9X for a year and still no problem, if it does, i'm gonna let you know. i agree every brand has its problems. it is up to us consumers to notify others not to fall into marketing. but razer just has too much of them. but to defend a brand out of nothing is a fanboy's act. Logitech was put into the picture as a comparison. I would try other brand of mice if the G9X could just die...maybe corsair or SS or even Roccat.

I decided to buy the razer keypad because, it is just a keypad, since my dilemma came from bad mouse experience. and to both of you, since when i complain about membrane? i dont give a fk about mechanical keys. i said it wobbles...as in the base is not flat. what that has to do with membrane? my membrane keyboard lives for 7 years and counting. is that another jackpot? I encourage people to DIY if problem persists when their hardware is old..but if crap happens and happen again when it came back from RMA (even a new unit, new batch)...then the QC is really in question. If razer improves its QC, it would only benefit us, the users. There's no good reason to keep defending of what you bought.

First of all, me and quovadis aren't defending Razer. I'm not very fond of Razer either, especially their headsets.
Then we have nothing to disagree on this point

Second, live with your decision. If it keeps on breaking down it will so simple as to not but Razer ever again. You ALREADY know their QC is crap. You ALREADY avoided it for years. You also know it's pricey and you've faced issues before. But you still buy it. So live with your decision to do so.
Did I say oh no, I'm gonna die because I bought a faulty unit? No. I know their QC is crap, but after so many years, after so many products, a keypad couldnt be much of a risk right? Wrong. Do I blame anyone for pointing a gun in my head to make me buy it? No. It is merely to inform even the base couldn't be made flat on razer's side.

Third, notifying is one issue. But I have problems with you straight going out accusing other as fan boys. So if I disagree several of your point, that makes me a fan boy? Don't think so. We could have easily kept this civil, try to find oUT how are we gonna fix this, see if any others have ideas on how to solve it, maybe get with distributors and see if a collective complaint can get somewhere. Civil. That's it's. But no. Opposite happened. What, just because he ask to RMA you accuse him of being daddy's boy? What was that for?
Hey, I have no problems people disagreeing with me. Other than suggestions he stated as if I couldnt complain for what I've bought. And my replies are still civil because what makes one think I should repair my own stuff that's less than a years old? Who doesnt know how to RMA within warranty period? Because only those with hard earned cash would understand the trouble of going thru RMA and what not after the premium you've paid. Civil means you and I are still typing here and not me and you standing face to face outside the forum, as a keyboard warrior as you might be.

Fourth, you think Razer gives a Shit? Baseline is cheap manufacturing cost, maximum profits. Same goes for every company.
That's why your third statement is invalid to razer. And that is why, The only way is to warn potential consumers the facts, not steps on how to DIY what shouldnt be broken in less than a year.

Fifth, we said mechanical because more often than not custom mechanical pads are solidly built. Very rarely do custom boards have failures.
be it a membrane, it could also be solidly built, but the base rubber isnt flat. it is solidly uneven. and i have no qualms ppl using what they like, but it has nothing to do with membrane in the discussion. So this point is also invalid. and I love membrane.

Sixth. No one Is defending what we bought. Quavadis was only giving suggestions. To which you claim fan boyism and shot it down.
Suggestion is one thing.

QUOTE

Those double-click can be easily fixed by replace the mouse switches or you RMA it.
Just don't complain only this brand got such keypad, you buy yet you complain. doh.gif

the first line is yeah, very legit suggestion. see the second sentence? Why I cant complain? Complain is a form of warning other users, and it is only a one time event, I complained about the wobbling.

Seventh. I rest my case here. Any more of these would not solve my issues. Agree to disagree. You keyboard warriors could enjoy your..what...mechanical kb now.
