Worst quality headsets ever with massive bloatware for a software package to install drivers and RGB controls. They used to have decent gaming mice, but now so many other companies make equal or better there’s no reason at all to buy a Razer.
They still have the only good keypad on the market. Everything else is either gimmicky and made of cheap plastic or basically unuseable.
The naga is still a best inclass mouse, and the deathadder and mamba mice are some of the best large mice in the world if you hate the stupid ass retarded trend of tiny light crap mice that everyone makes.
Their keyboards are mostly meh, if you can find they half off they are fine I guess.
And synapse 5 is now a web app and thus universal and works on Linux. But it only just started rolling out and only supports like 3 devices so far. Based on synpase 3 and 4a roll out time for devices we should see good coverage of devices in about a year.
Over all the only problem razer has at this point is their products are about 20-30% more expensive then they should be for the quality.
I disagree. I’ve been using a logictech gamepad for 7 years now. Had a razer before that. The logitech works just as well and is cheaper. As for linux support that’s good.
How's Linux support? As far as I know, most other companies don't get the save level of support that Logitech and Razer do.
Maybe that'll change when Keychron finish their zgm firmware project and some mice with it hit the market.
Razer is deprecating the standalone app and moving to a web app for the next version of synapse. So it was be OS agnostic.
The beta for the new version is out and works flawless on Linux and Mac devices. But it only supports like 3 device so far they haven't had time to roll out support for the back log.
Most hardware I've checked out from this company was actually a piece by piece replica of something a competitor was selling with less flashy nonsense and much less bloatware (or none). So pardon me if I've always thought of Razer as a counterfeiting company with a huge branding and marketing budget.
Razer only has like 5 or 6 unique designs. The naga, deathadder,mamba,tartarus, and blackwidow.
The rest is the same generic design every other company also copies and rips off of each other.
It's not so much razer is a knock off company. In that all of keyboard and mice is a massive cess pit of incestuous theft and stealing of design from each other.
Razer honestly does it less than most of the big companies. They also have pioneered more of design space than basically any company expect Logitech.
More people rip off razer gear then razer rips off others.
Most people ripping razer off use higher end parts tho, razer does design well they just cheap out massively on quality.
