Conclusion

The Razer Lycosa is an excellent keyboard and performed just as it was set out to do. It’s solidly built and so, as a result, doesn’t move around the desk while typing or gaming. The keys are comfortable and responsive but the poor backlighting lets them down, making it impossible to type in certain conditions. Compared to many keyboards available on the market, the Lycosa looks amazing. However for £60, the Lycosa is certainly lacking. Whilst all the features you would want are present, when examined they are poorly thought through. There are many small niggles, such as the backlighting needs to be made stronger and the anti-ghosting needs to be included on more keys. Despite all this the Razer Lycosa is a very good addition to the Razer family. The keys are comfortable and responsive – – unlike many ‘gaming’ keyboards currently available. This keyboard does actually help in games and I would certainly recommend it to any gamer who is a comfortable touch typist.
