  • The Razer Lycosa is a hardcore gaming keyboard and there is no question about it. The only real drawback is its price. The lowest price in Europe is €69.11, which is more than some people are willing to pay for a keyboard. But then again, if you are...

  • If a keyboard is just another input device to you, the Razer Lycosa might be a little rich for your blood. After all, if a keyboard lets you type, that’s all you need – right? If you think along those lines, chances are you’re not a game...

  • The Razer Lycosa is an excellent little gaming keyboard and is nicely put together despite a few tiny flaws. Really though, the only things that bother us are the grime-grabbing materials and the awkward backlighting that makes typing an occasional cho...
