tarantula is ok. design ok, i like. but the palm rest and the surface of the keyboard is glossy type! after sometime, sure will scratch like hell!!! and there's no backlight...dunno why. maybe wanan add extra $$$ like ianho said...the lamp post idea is just lame.

yo G15 owners. 3 questions.

1. Does your G15 LCD backside plastic/cover or watever u call it, has this nice rubber-ish coated feel? or does it feels plastic (hard plastic type)?

2. What is the color of your LCD tint? does it has this purple-ish/blu-ish look? or it is white?

3. The keys feels rough? or smooth on the surface?


thanks. just wanna find out how to determine a new or old batch.
btw, i read the so called laser-etched saitek eclipse keyboards also have keys fading issues. laugh.gif LOL... the G15 fades because the keys are transparent and only has black paints coated around the wordings.

i know the rubberish thingie.....but isn't that just subjective since there are no comparison ??

yeah...there is. most ppl claimed that the later version is mroe plastic feel instead of rubberish. anyways, there's no 100% confirmation on this tho. dont worry...warranties cover this. haha...maybe i'll just get myself one and see wat happens. laugh.gif btw, the tarantula really a let down. unsure.gif

whats the different for a normal keyboard and a gaming keyboard?..it seems gaming K just stylish only


macros, backlights, hyper response keys...and more gimmicks. we gamers just like to have everything that's slapped with "gamer" tag.

if i am not mistaken, the laser cut keys have their transparent or partially transparent part;mostly the alphabets/signs (for lights to go through) laser cut out from the black based plastic key block. while painted ones are those transparent keys painted black with only the alphabets/signs left blank.

yeah, it is like decoration + build quality + function.
and yes, it is purely out of our own will. and of course, preference.

My point of view is that, I bought a 1k-2k+ graphics card, and a total rig close to 10k. and why dont I use better keyboard + mice? Since those are what I touch/use every gaming/computing session. What is RM300 when your rig is more than 10 times the value of your peripherals? What are JRD rims when you drive a BMW? That's the concept I have, and I believe the quality of such products surpasses those typical ones. As I've break my RM25 logitech keyboard and my current RM30 easy deluxe has f**kin stuck keys, keypress arent smooth (feels blocked somehow). If you game as aggressively as me, you will understand how cheap peripherals just won't cut it.

toda6866: This is for gaming keyboard discussion. And if you cant afford or dont wish acquire to a rm300 keyboard, nobody's gonna laugh. you can keep it that way. As i mentioned, it is not a must have. Dont spam pointless crap here, kid.

The Tarantula looks like a top class keyboard to me...,the G15 is for them bling bling fans if ya ask me....,and for showin off of course....

top class? it might be. but there's also bling bling for it, to make it more blingz, they even produce the battlelight. and the razer logo has this breathing effect like the copperhead. and all those are not for showing off? (well, show off isnt a bad thing afterall) rolleyes.gif i'm only afraid that the piano-finished surface might get scratched easily...

G15 has functional macros and LCD too. the backlight keys aren't that "bling-bling" if you compare to saitek eclipse 2 which has side under-keyboard lights (plus, able to change 3 colors). laugh.gif

Been a while since I've talked in this thread...but I saw talk of more comparison between keyboards regarding performance and "bling".  If you are not wanting top performance but want a fancy show off keyboard, I've seen a few that use imaged keys and complete underlighting.  With the Razer Tarantula, it is plugging into 2 usb ports for as much power as it needs, every key on its own engine for hyper fast response and anti-ghosting.  10 keys at a time and immediate response (which I have noticed a difference from my last keyboard and my g/f's current keyboard) is far more important to me than fancy lights.  This thing has a 2port usb hub as well to plug in flash drives or what have you, and between that and all the engine's, memory, its just not possible to have all that and a fully backlit keyboard.  As far as "bling" on the tarantula:  I find myself just stairing at the razer logo fading in and out, its awesome.  I replaced the L1-L5 and R1-R5 keys with the FPS themed keys that light up more.

After using it a few weeks now, typing on it just feels amazing.  I cannot go back to a normal keyboard now.  I occasionally switch with my g/f's computer and use a microsoft keyboard that is not for gaming.  Has no anti-ghosting, I cannot even angle-jump on WoW, and just does not feel as good.
*

you are not from razerzone are u? and from the way u talk, u arent malaysian. anyways, what's so special about tarantula's usb ports? it is only usb1.1, instead of 2.0. Logitech G15 has them too, same 1.1. yawn.gif my high speed USB drive would only operate in 1.1 mode on these ports so what's the point.

I dont care about the bling, it is ok without one. but the battlelight looks stupid. glad it is only an add-on tho. regarding the only attraction to this keyboard, the anti ghosting, i havent read any reviews truly tested on this one, except one chinese reviews saying it actually only registered 8 keys.

still waiting for more practical review for this keyboard. so far official reviews are all about good, while i read actual user reviews in forums, saying this keyboard is just too buggy. hmm... rolleyes.gif
and when the heck are they gonna release a green version.

one more thing to add: the glossy finish is easy to get scratched?
