Why does Razer gather so much criticism?

Ok, so I am a true Razer fan, but it has come to my attention that Razer (not Corsair, Logitech, SteelSeries so on) gathers a LOT of criticism. I have owned Razer products for almost 4 months now - and they are pitch perfect (Apart from 7.1 Surround Sound making weird sounds in my Kraken X USB). Razer's criticism might be affecting me! Generally I would just click purchase, but the criticism is making me think a lot about buying it. Answers would help me be more firm with Razer, and more "This is a good brand! Let's buy it." instead of "Hmm, I like Razer, but is it actually good?". Any responses are extremely appreciated! Alex!

[TotW] Gettin' Merry With It

For many of us, celebrating the holidays comes with a lot of time spent with family, friends and more importantly, presents. Despite being an adult, I'm still lucky enough to receive presents from family members, usually the children take center stage and take up all the presents, but someone always manages to get me something. Although I have everything I need from this great brand we bleed green for, there's always something new that pops up on our list eventually. What's on your list? What shiny new Razer product do you hope to receive this holiday season? For the last Thread of the Week for 2021, let us know what you're hoping to get and as a bonus, if you post a photo of what you got in this thread, I'll be sure to reward you with a present of my own. - - - About Razer Silver: Razer Silver is the only loyalty rewards credits backed by Razer.

[TotW] Am I Doing it Wrong?

Recently I learned that a friend of mine uses his middle finger to scroll the mouse wheel. I thought it was the wildest thing, like it broke my brain. It was like the time I found out people hold a banana by the step like an ice cream cone. So, now I have to ask, does anybody else use their middle finger to scroll the mouse wheel? If you do, does this mean you use your ring finger to right-click? I must know!

[TotW] Epic Mega Sale = Epic Mega Backlog

Good news: Epic is having a mega sale. The bad news? Scrolling through the games I can already see many that are already in my backlog. I know, first world problems. I've been doing a pretty good job of hacking away at my backlog, but buying a game is much faster than playing through one and I'm starting to feel the burnout. Safe-at-home orders make it easier to explain the butt imprints in my chair, but I'm pretty sure I forgot what fresh air smells like and I may spontaneously combust in direct sunlight. Either way, because I can't help myself, I'm probably going to walk away with a few more games in the backlog. What games are you eyeing? Did a game you were waiting on go on sale? I'd love to hear about it.

[TotW] Turkey or Not, Here We Come (with the gratitudes)

Being thankful should never be cheesy, but I have to admit, sometimes I feel like it's a little too gooey on the insides for me when people talk about what they're thankful for over the Thanksgiving holiday. However, I found myself super, super thankful for my pair of Anzu's. They're super great in a pinch when you need to jump on a call or take a call on the road, they connect instantly and you're good to go without having to fuss over earbuds or headsets. They also provide some much needed lowkey tunes when out and about. Is there a Razer product you're grateful for? I'd love to know. Like and comment to this thread for a chance at the weekly "Great" achievement and because I'm thankful for all of you, I'll be giving out more than one of these achievements. Also, see if you can get your friends or family to join Insider and have them post, I may throw some Silver their way. Just be sure they mention who sent them. - - - About Razer Silver: Razer Silver is the only loyalty rew

[Review] AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution

[Review] AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution. Summary. - Introduction. - What is FSR? - Supported Graphics Hardware. - List of compatible games. - My PC computer characteristic. - Chernobylite review. - Cyberpunk 2077 review. - My conclusion. Introduction. AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR) is a new technology that I wanted to test on my PC as my computer is old to see if I can smoothly optimize next-gen games. This test will also be useful for Razer Blade Laptops with Nvidia 10/16 series GPU as well as all computers with old graphics cards. We will thus discover if technology keeps these promises and that it does not degrade quality too much by using games: Chernobylite and Cyberpunk 2077 with patch 1.5 released in February 2022 (I am so happy 😊). FSR also optimizes the performance of high-end AMD graphics cards when doing Ray Tracing. But unfortunately I could not test this, so do not hesitate to add your review and experience to enrich this topic. Thank y

Real GAMER

Hi fellows, one question is bothering me for quite some time. WHΛT IS THΞ DΞFINITION OF Λ RΞΛL GΛMΞR? I have seen and heard various statements about the meaning of the word gamer, though most of the people, including some of my friends considered that playing games was just a part of the childhood, and that when you get to have a job and girlfriend, gaming slowly dies. It's not my case tho, i love to play games, i still do and i don't feel any shame about it instead i am quite proud about it. So even if i don't like all the games out there, i still appreciate the idea of gaming, of playing together with other people. I don't know how to say it, there are just things that feel good, like the endless rages you get, sleepless nights and so on. But personal. i think i have a more accurate definition for gamers. Gaming is a way of living, a lifestyle, if you're truly into gaming nothing should get in your way, at some point or another, you'll always find time to play. What do you guy

[TotW] Gaming Hot Takes Vol. 1

Over the weekend my friends and I had a great conversation around hot takes in general. A "Hot Take" for those that don't know, is an unpopular opinion. For example, "Cheese is disgusting and people who like cheese are disgusting." I didn't say that. But someone did and I was laughing because there are times where I look at some cheeses and think to myself, "WHY would anyone put that in their mouth? It smells like feet and looks like sliced vomit." Another example of a hot take would be, "Tenkeyless keyboards are a blight to humanity" or "Chroma is overrated." These are just examples. That last one hurt to type, who would dare say that!? CHROMA EVERYTHING. So, what's your hot take? Everyone's got one. I'll start: I don't like our logo. I know! It's sacrilege. But, I think it's time for an update. Like and comment for a chance at the weekly "Great" achievement. Additionally, two well thought out comments will receive the "Nice" achievement. - - - About Razer Silver: Razer Silv

[TotW] Almost Perfect

My current mouse is a Basilisk Ultimate. I've had the fortune of trying every mouse we have and this is the one I love. However, there are a few things I wish were different simply because of my mouse grip. I use a claw grip so the clutch is hardly ever used and access to the #5 mouse button is uncomfortably out of reach. Also, I never really use the DPI buttons since I lock mine. Sometimes I wish I could move some of the buttons around so I can have better access to them, but understandably, we don't live in a one-size-fits-all world. So, my question for you this week is: What would you change or add to your already favorite Razer product to make it perfect just for you? Like and comment for your chance at the weekly "Great" achievement. Well, thought out answers may earn you extra Silver as well! Don't forget to check out our NEW Basilisk V3!

One Man's Trash...

The Dreaded Backlog

Growing up as a kid and even up to my early college days, a huge problem was that I never had enough games. When I got my NES for my birthday the only games I had were the ones that came with it: Duck Hunt and Gyromite. We didn't have much money, so the games were far and a few between and anytime I got my hands on a game, I played the living daylights out of it. Fast forward to today, sprinkle in some hard work and whip up a batch of first world problems and I have found myself with the opposite. Now that I'm making my own money, I find myself buying games that I never get around to playing. Maybe there's a part of me that feels like I'm making up for the lack that was prevalent when I was a kid. Regardless, I have this huge backlog of games and with work and life, I feel like there's never enough time. Do you have a backlog? If so, how big? Do you think you'll ever get to it? This is the thread of the week, share your stories!
