  • I installed the Lycosa on my main work system and used it for several days. The Lycosa looks really nice at my workstation and is a good bit smaller than my normal keyboard. As I mentioned earlier, without the key back light on, it is very difficult...

  • I must say that I was really impressed with the Lycosa. While I was afraid that the flat key design - a first for Razer - would be the big downside of the keyboard, this was not the case. The added surface of the keys and the absolutely perfect pressur...

  • Small profile; powerful macro software; smooth typing; strong desk grip.
  • Only one spare USB port; dim, non-adjustable LED backlighting; unintuitive software.
  • Razers Lycosa gaming keyboard has a lot of promise, and it mostly delivers, thanks to its solid feel, smooth typing, and powerful macro capabilities. We wish Razer had paid more attention to the LED lighting, but for strong touch-typing gamers, we thi...

  • Gamers looking for an attractive keyboard as at home fragging n00bs as it is typing your latest term paper will love the Lycosa. Hard core gaming geeks looking for the ultimate macro-recording keyboard will want to look elsewhere. ...

  • Good backlighting, Good price, Performs very well, Good typing feel
  • Touch keys for media offer no feedback
  • In the end, the Razer Lycosa is a worthy adversary for Logitech’s new G15 gaming keyboard. The Lycosa has good looks, performs very well for gaming and general computer work and has fantastic software and drivers. The media keys weren’t my fav...

  • Backlit keys; stylish; great software and macro capabilities; solid tactile feedback.
  • Keys difficult to read during the day; TouchPanel requires backlighting set; no macro keys; glossy area a haven for fingerprints and blotches.
  • Razer boasts a strong set of software that enables plenty of options. That, along with some other gaming features, just might be the ticket for gamers. Our concerns focus more on the readability of its keys, and other design decisions. ...
