RAZER TRON RZ03-00530100-R3U1 Black Gaming Keyboard

Pros: feels great the responce time is awsome the software works great

larger that an normal keyboard

Cons: the way they made some of the keys they sometimes stick and that doesn't help while gaming

it is a freaking dirt magnet i swear i clean it once a week with a damp rage and after a few days the whole thing is coverd and feels nasty yuck

the keyboard is really large and takes a little getting used to but to tell you the truth i think this is a PRO becaus it spreads your keys and makes it harder to hit the wrong button

get a black widow instead i like it better

Other Thoughts: i really like razers software for all of their stuff have used a black widow anansi death adder tron mamba and a few others and they all feel nice the on the fly macro is freaking awsome :)

Pros: -It's Tron themed!
-Feels nice and lights up nice
-The keys are flat, which I happen to like.
-The letters and numbers really match the Tron theme really well.

Cons: I think I have more cons for this keyboard than I do pro's but I love it anyway. Perhaps I am biased because I love Tron so much <3

-The keys are really spaced out and it feels a little awkward but I have adapted quickly to it.
-The space bar is not where it should be but again I have adapted to it.
-The light up bars on the top and bottom aren't as blue as I thought.
-No volume button on it D: The only thing I miss from my old keyboard.

Other Thoughts: Its really big! Be prepared to give up some desk space for this baby.

Pros: Looks amazing starting up.
Makes a cool sound when leds run.

Cons: Large keys prompting typos, soft touch but still much harder to press than is customary for new high end keyboards, keyboard is much longer than other standard keyboards making desk space and mouse pad placement akward, unable to lock numpad to board so having the keypad sit on anything other than a level table can disconnect it or make it very uncomfortable to use. spacebar does not sit where you would expect it to and also sometimes does not read strokes on its left and right sides. Keyboard is also thick with no gradual flow to the keyboard making an uncomfortable place for your wrist.

NOT FOR GAMING.

Pros: Love the overall look - LEDs are as bright if not brighter than the mouse. Backlet keys are dimmer, but still bright enough to read in the dark. The mic/headphone ports have LED lights shooting out of them too, which is nice.

Cons: There is an LED light strip where I expect the space bar to be. Granted the space bar is just below the strip, but I'm having to relearn something that I shouldn't have to... They shoud've also put some sort of LED on the space bar, since it's impossible to see in the dark - nothing huge, but a thin line would've been justified. The keys are large, which can make things like ctrl+v a bit more challenging.

Other Thoughts: I knew I was getting this keyboard more for looks than for performance, so a lot of the cons aren't a downside to me. The space bar is still huge, and seems to register all the time for where I like to nail it, so its a non-issue. If you want a keyboard for extended use (ie paper writing), this might not be your best bet, but if you want something that is going to stand out - this is what you should get.

also - this keyboard is really massive. My old keyboard (letters + keypad) was the size of just the main part of this keyboard - add another 4" for the keypad

I'm not sure I'll get this again, but I'm enjoying this purchase so far... time for some BF3

Pros: looks awesome.
very good quality

Cons: this thing is huge and the keys are much further apart. mistyping is common.
Not good for gaming.

Other Thoughts: if anyone knows how to replicate the color of the lights (they use a white LED on the inside and a colored plastic on the outside to replicate the "cold blue"), please tell me how. I want to mod my case!

Pros: Beautiful keyboard, great border lighting, felt like a fairly durable keyboard.

Cons: This has been said, but thought I would highlight the size of it a little more. The keyboard isn't just a larger keyboard, its gargantuan. The Tron keyboard (without the number pad) is about the same size as my basic logitech keyboard. The keys are huge. I mix gaming and work, and have a need to type every now and then. This keyboard isn't for someone who knows how to type.
The backlighting on the letters is too weak.

Pros: -Razer did an excellent job in designing this keyboard: looks phenomenal
-The lighting effects are very well done for both the start-up sequence and the power off sequence for the keyboard.
-Good sound effects added
-Headphone and microphone jack plug-ins on the keyboard are handy

Cons: -Keys are placed wider apart which makes long typing sessions a hassle if you are not used to the spacing
-The smoothness of the keys, albeit which look like the unlit parts of the light grid from the movie, make missing letters while typing fast much more common

Other Thoughts: I do have to admit this is an AWESOME looking keyboard but it is not very practical for day-to-day use. The ability to change the ten key to either side of the keyboard is a nice touch. However the the unique lighting and sound effects are the best thing about it. All of the positives of this keyboard can be found on other keyboards for nearly half the price. I did expect a little more originality and functionability from this large of a pricetag but to end on a more uplifting note I would have to say they did a very good job capturing the movie theme in a piece of computer hardware.

Pros: Nice lighting and speedy response on working keys.

Cons: Same problem as I have had with my Razer Tarantula "dead keys" you have to jam certain keys to get them to respond.

Other Thoughts: Next keyboard purchase will probably not be a Razer. Still lovin their mouses though.

Pros: Nice look, Tron rules, great concept.

Cons: This keyboard is really for memoabila (sry I cant spell,) not for use. I had this for about one hour and if it wasnt so expencive I would have kept it for that reason alone. It worked fine right out the box w/o even any drivers or updates. I assume to use macros you would need those. Im an avid gamer and the button layout is not very funtional. The keys are not big but huge and make this keyboard larger than need be even with a removable num pad. dispite what you might read on other sites there is no attached usb just anolog mic/headset. Having to use two usb ports was a bit of a strain since my motherboard is a little older now and only has four to begin with. So think about everything else you use usb's for before you buy.

Other Thoughts: Basically its just fun, but for a 150usd price it is not a gamers keyboard at all.

Pros: Looks great! Matches up with my rig's lighting very nicely.

Media keys, built-in mic and headphone jacks, power/sleep mode keys, and lighting control all from the keyboard are nice.

Cons: My natural position on the spacebar is the left side. this spacebar only registers if I hit it dead center, making it clunky and annoying to type, as I keep missing spaces.

Only time I hear the sound is on startup- not when i go in/out of sleep mode, not when turning off as advertised. No options for the sounds with the driver/utility.

Haven't seen the lights respond to in-game cues yet either, as advertised. Maybe it's only specific games, but none are specified.

Other Thoughts: Basically, I paid 5x the price of a decent keyboard for one that is Very Pretty, but annoys me to no end with having to constantly go back and insert spaces where the spacebar didn't register, and doesn't exibit most of the cool lighting/sound features described.

For this kind of money, I expect everything to be as advertised - and more.
