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.
1 hourLooks mid tbh.
If I could make these, I’d try to make the snake eyes glow via backlight.

I like artisan keycaps and the creativity behind them, but this is lazy work. Some are truly amazing works of art - not this.

Outside of razer making garbage quality accessories: who the fuck would put that on F12?
- FE80@lemmy.worldEnglish4 hours
When does anyone even press F12? Obviously this thing should go on the escape key.

Imagine not using caps lock as escape, this is obviously meant for the ‘_’ snake key.

You helped me figure it out, if you actually press it it will just break in 6 months so this makes it seem higher quality as you constantly cycle it between keyboards

I press f12 and break a weirdly large amount… They make fantastic macro buttons. Nothing else uses them and you never hit them by accident.

Was curious so I checked Ali Express. They have, imo, something similar but cooler.

I have two questions:
- Where can I find the .stl?
- Who wants one in which colors?
Bahahaha that’s was my first thought. Fuck this I’ll print it in resin and it’ll be damn near identical.

Worst quality headsets ever with massive bloatware for a software package to install drivers and RGB controls. They used to have decent gaming mice, but now so many other companies make equal or better there’s no reason at all to buy a Razer.

They still have the only good keypad on the market. Everything else is either gimmicky and made of cheap plastic or basically unuseable.
The naga is still a best inclass mouse, and the deathadder and mamba mice are some of the best large mice in the world if you hate the stupid ass retarded trend of tiny light crap mice that everyone makes.
Their keyboards are mostly meh, if you can find they half off they are fine I guess.
And synapse 5 is now a web app and thus universal and works on Linux. But it only just started rolling out and only supports like 3 devices so far. Based on synpase 3 and 4a roll out time for devices we should see good coverage of devices in about a year.
Over all the only problem razer has at this point is their products are about 20-30% more expensive then they should be for the quality.

How’s Linux support? As far as I know, most other companies don’t get the save level of support that Logitech and Razer do.
Maybe that’ll change when Keychron finish their zgm firmware project and some mice with it hit the market.
- Holytimes@sh.itjust.worksEnglish3 hours
Razer is deprecating the standalone app and moving to a web app for the next version of synapse. So it was be OS agnostic.
The beta for the new version is out and works flawless on Linux and Mac devices. But it only supports like 3 device so far they haven’t had time to roll out support for the back log.

Most hardware I’ve checked out from this company was actually a piece by piece replica of something a competitor was selling with less flashy nonsense and much less bloatware (or none). So pardon me if I’ve always thought of Razer as a counterfeiting company with a huge branding and marketing budget.
- Holytimes@sh.itjust.worksEnglish3 hours
Razer only has like 5 or 6 unique designs. The naga, deathadder,mamba,tartarus, and blackwidow.
The rest is the same generic design every other company also copies and rips off of each other.
It’s not so much razer is a knock off company. In that all of keyboard and mice is a massive cess pit of incestuous theft and stealing of design from each other.
Razer honestly does it less than most of the big companies. They also have pioneered more of design space than basically any company expect Logitech.
More people rip off razer gear then razer rips off others.
Most people ripping razer off use higher end parts tho, razer does design well they just cheap out massively on quality.

“To own a Razer Artisan Keycap is to display one’s allegiance, a mark of belonging within the cult of Razer,”
or the mark of someone with a 3D printer and 9 cents of plastic.
- OwOarchist@pawb.socialEnglish11 hours
Still, you’d need a pretty good 3D printer to get that much detail in such a small object, right?
Even the cheapest Resin printers could do this. FDM printers definitely not.
Resin printers are a big health hazard though, I developed epoxy contact allergy from exposure to the rosin, even though I was careful with always wearing PPE
- otacon239@lemmy.worldEnglish10 hours
Yes, but you’d have to start with wanting to print something as dumb and ugly as this.
Razer, you could’ve just released the keycap and been like “Hey look, fancy handmade snake keycap :)”
there was no need to release a PR statement where you verbally suck yourself off. Calling your brand a “cult” is not the good look you think it is.

All Razer does is make overpriced trash so this fits right in with the rest of the lineup.
That quote turns a neat little thing into a joke.
The price makes it an insult
I’ve seen some crazily priced keycaps for what was basically someone dropping some 3d prints into epoxy. There’s a market for it.
Right? I’m a fan of Razer products, I’ve been using them for almost 20years, but I’d never pay that for a silly keyboard cap lol

“The keycap is also “the next step towards the ultimate expression of keyboard customisation,” and “a statement of identity,””
I read this in Jonny Ive’s voice.

Bitch, you are so far back in the “ultimate expression of keyboard customization” that it’s hilarious. This isn’t Leif Erikson stepping ashore in Newfoundland and reporting that he’s discovered a new world. It’s a tourist landing at Toronto Pearson airport and trying to pass himself off as having discovered America.
I use a keyboard where I designed the PCB and case myself, soldered it myself, wrote the bloody firmware, and laser-etched a bunch of custom keycaps to go with my particular bindings. That’s custom. And there are people who go beyond that into premium handcrafting and metalworking rather than cheap Chinese resin printing.
The “artisan keycap” industry consists of small makers doing short run novelty FOMO stuff at 50 bucks or so a throw, or you can buy something fun on AliExpress for a fiver. Is there a space for 90 dollar corporate caps?
