The Razer Arctosa Keyboard Review

When starting out as a gamer and learning the ropes, you want your controls to be responsive. As you become a more talented video gamer, you'll start to appreciate things like lightening fast response time from your keyboard, comfort for your wrist, DPI on your mouse and everything else that can give you that edge in the video game world. As a gamer, the Razer Arctosa keyboard has all the features that a gaming keyboard needs to give the user the controls he needs to have that edge. When it comes to PC gaming, you are in the habit of zipping around with the keyboard and mouse, but if your controls can't register your movements, as fast as you make them, what is the point?

The Razer Arctosa keyboard keeps up with your rapid hand movements. Every button and keystroke will be registered quicker than almost any other gaming keyboard, setting you apart and above most other gamers. The silver text played out on this gaming keyboard also makes it so they won't wear down with use, and they will all stay perfectly intact, as well as have the lowest possible latency. These features and more make the Razer Arctosa keyboard the most reliable gaming keyboard around. After myself putting in months of heavy use with the Razer Arctosa keyboard, I have seen absolutely no signs of wear, just as the company claims. It is one of the nicest possible keyboards I have ever used and I've used several over the years.

The Razer Arctosa keyboard comes with the standard pads and lifts to make it comfortable for your wrist and allows for extended gaming sessions as well. There are even programmable keys which are great if you are looking to use macros or quick commands in a game. Whether you are playing a shooter and looking to spam your call sign, or an RPG and you are setting up macros for your characters, these keys make it easier to quickly do what is necessary no matter what your game is.

The selective anti-ghosting system that is present around the standard FPS WASD set up also makes everything more convenient, allowing you to enter in as many commands as you like, and without them all getting mixed up in transition. With the low latency key registry and the ghosting system you'll never find yourself running in the wrong direction with the Razer Arctosa keyboard, not even for a split second.

The only real issue I have had with the Razer Arctosa is that some of the programmable keys can take a little long to carry out some of the programs I've created, if it calls for more than a few simple key strokes. On the other hand, this is a frustration found with most programmable gaming keyboards.

Luckily, where this product is different is the price and the durable functionality. It's great when compared to some of the bigger names and rings in at only $39.99. While it doesn't have a display, the Razer Arctosa keyboard has what counts, and can give you the edge no matter what game you are playing.
