Introduction

Gamers love Razer and Razer love gamers. As a result, they’ve taken it upon themselves to create some of the best gaming peripherals around including the Boomslang and Deathadder. They’ve made a gamer keyboard before called the Tarantula and several more in cahoots with other manufactures although these weren’t destined for the gamers desk.

Today I have the Lycosa which is a cut-down version of the Tarantula with light up keys and a more petite size. Let’s see if Razer can keep gamers happy with this next keyboard incarnation.
