Well this is beyond absurd.

“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.
Not even if it was free would I want this.
But what if it was a clitoris?
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.
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.
We already reached perfection.
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
It is odd when companies behave like monopolies when they aren’t. Cisco is another one but they just have those weird niche audiences that buy into it
All Razer does is make overpriced trash so this fits right in with the rest of the lineup.
Hey now. I found they also have horrible customer service and try to weasel their way out of warranty cases.
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.
Just gen AI it. Probably what they did
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.
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.
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.
There’s unofficial FOSS reimplementations. Use the openrazer kernel module and polychromatic as tbe configuration gui.
I know. My point is that Razer and Logitech are known to be well-supported. I don’t know if that is true for other manufacturers.
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.
I disagree. I’ve been using a logictech gamepad for 7 years now. Had a razer before that. The logitech works just as well and is cheaper. As for linux support that’s good.
Everyone with a 3d printer is pissing themselves rn
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.
Outside of razer making garbage quality accessories: who the fuck would put that on F12?
When does anyone even press F12? Obviously this thing should go on the escape 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
For when you want to “hack” websites.
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.
Marketing works. They sold out in an hour.
How to make money off of mentally ill rich kids I guess
90 usd? For a keycap?
Grift. Con. Bullshit. Shenanigans.
It is a mark of belonging to a cult, alright…
