Well this is beyond absurd.
Marketing being stupid again. But it’s just an artisan keycap, they usually do cozt around this price, I find them neat 😅
Dont worry. It’s Razer, so you’ll only have to deal with it for 3 months until it breaks.
90 usd? For a keycap?
Grift. Con. Bullshit. Shenanigans.
Cult.
The Death Adder was objectively a damn fine mouse. So why do I not recommend it? Because of the software that requires an online account to change settings.
Also, if I wanted “artisanal keycaps” I’d go on etsy and buy from actual artists.
There’s a FOSS reimplementation of the Razer configuration software on Linux. Openrazer is the driver package and polychromatic is the GUI to configure it
‘a mark of belonging within the Cult of Razer’
For anyone interested in this, they sell red flags at Home Depot for a lot cheaper.
No I do not want to spend that much money to display allegiance to this shit company.
I’d never buy one, but I see this as harmless as someone getting rims for their car.
I will never understand keyboard hobbyists and the obsession over keycaps.
All you need is a good keyboard that does its job well, and is repairable.
“Artisan”
Nothing says artisan like a mass produced piece of plastic stamped out of a mold by the thousand.
I have owned several razer products, mostly mice and they have all been utter overpriced hype garbage.
Only thing good was that they had a good selection of large ambidextrous mice. No idea if that is still the case
mine has the scroll wheel just jumping all over the place whenever I try to scroll. Only two months old
There is really only one product from razer that I would recommend. And that’s the Kitsune.
It is their high end leverless fight stick. But even that is a tough recommendation, as you can get cheaper, 99% as good options for half the price. Or something equally expensive from vitrix or or companies.
Everyone with a 3d printer is pissing themselves rn
It is a mark of belonging to a cult, alright…
When I think of razer what comes to mind is overpriced peripherals that break and have annoying software to set them up.
I prefer qmk supported keyboards so I can use via or vial to setup my keyboard.
The first thing I think of, and the only tangental history I have with the brand was Nerdcubed’s main computer dying, opening a brand new backup Razer laptop he’d bought for such an occasion, taking it out of the box for the first time that day, and running into a “Your computer’s fucked, mate” screen after hitting the power button
“Only real gamers have this keycap”
Real gamers can keep it.
Coming soon to a Goodwill near you!
