thecoalition Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 So since I work at Best Buy I get alot of employee and affiliate accomodations with products. One thing I get alot of is Microsoft and Intel deals (like the last one which was a quad core proc. mobo and vista for 250). Needless to say I was pumped when Razer started a program that gave away free stuff for taking tests about their products.Long story short I got all my freebies a while back. They included a mouse, t-shirt, stickers and eXactmat mouse surface.Love the mouse pad but sold the mouse (thecoalition only uses the finest in laser mice and does not fall to the level of standard optical mouse gaming).So a little while ago they held a photo contest. Basically stand in front of the display in the store wearing your uniform and hold the product of the month. I did this only I took porn like poses with the product. Apparently Razer loved those pics and I won the month's prize of a Lycosa Keyboard, Piranha Headset, and Lachesis mouse.Now the keyboard, although cool looking, is well....I like basic keyboards. I dont need 50 million buttons. It looks like a laptop keyboard too with its flat rubberized keys. The headset is a standard 2.0 with boom mic. I use a 5.1 medusa pro gamer my gf bought me for my b-day so .... why would I go down to a 2.0?The mouse on the other hand was a 4k dpi mouse. I was so pumped to get this. Well, I plug it in install the software and BAM! Im on COD4....problem was...the odd shaping (it fans out at the top) causes me to have slower clicks of the buttons. I was getting dominated by crappy players. Just to check I plugged in my old logitech g5 and made a ferocious comeback. I was pretty disappointed that such a nice little mouse had to be ruined by a bad call on the shaping. If it was more rounded like the diamondback 3g is it would have been a keeper....until then the mouse and headset were put up on ebay today. The keyboard I need to open and try out first before I decide on what to do with that.Had no one else around so I needed to share my depression here. On top of that I can't smoke because I am sick and my throat is destroyed from coughing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
