Locutus Posted April 12, 2012 Posted April 12, 2012 So I have had a few Razer products in the past, but it seems their products are markedly worse than some other brands as of late. Today my Razer Orca headset that I bought last year started going, all garbled and terrible sounding. My Deathadder died not even a month ago (which is why my birthday present was this new TT element black mouse.) Has anyone else had trouble with Razer? Oh and my headphones aren't under warranty because they're "Earphones" and not a "Headset" just because they don't have a mic. So their warranty period is only 6 months.

greengiant912 Posted April 12, 2012 Posted April 12, 2012 Out of all the razer products that I have owned most of them have died within 6-12 months of owning them... A few mice,and a headset I think I had in the past... My buddy is good friends with the CEO, and when I met him a few years ago I told him hey man what the heck is with these shorts in the mice and stuff... I guess it was kind of a butt move but whatever.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bp9801 Posted April 12, 2012 Posted April 12, 2012 Overall I would say it has to vary, like with any company's products. I've seen reviews of people having no issue and then others having plenty. My BlackWidow Ultimate has been going strong for a year with no problems, well, minus a sticky + key on the numpad. I don't use it that much so I didn't even notice it until a couple months of ownership. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waco Posted April 12, 2012 Posted April 12, 2012 My Razer Arctosa black edition is still working just as well as the day I got it. I'm not gentle with it either. BluePanda uses a Lycosa and a DeathAdder and they've been perfect (with the occasional freakout of the Lycosa that's fairly well known at this point) and work just like day one.

d6bmg Posted April 12, 2012 Posted April 12, 2012 My Lycosa died within one year. So, I would say its normal for them. They were never better, at least for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coors Posted April 12, 2012 Posted April 12, 2012 My original Copperhead is still alive and kicking. I can't speak for their more recent stuff over the years though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm some what partial to banging my fists on the keys when something doesn't work as expected. So it working still...it's pretty good.

Skidmarks Posted April 12, 2012 Posted April 12, 2012 I recently retired my Razer Reclusa (Microsoft branded) keyboard which is 3 yrs old without any problems whatsoever but I'm thinking of reinstating it because I'm not terribly keen on my Corsair K60 with it's clickety clackety keys. I'm not generally a fan of Razers' products but their Reclusa kbd was a gem in my eyes even though it's a little large. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
