It’s great for gamers but it’s also suitable for anybody; there are no ridiculous frills and the look was enough to impress my design-snob parents. At $80 it’s more expensive than most keyboards you’ll find, but considering how much you are going to use it, I think the expense is justified.

We wish Razer had paid more attention to the LED lighting, but for strong touch-typing gamers, we think you'll like the Lycosa once you put your hands on it.
Read the full review →The Lycosa has good looks, performs very well for gaming and general computer work and has fantastic software and drivers. The media keys weren’t my favorite, but that is certainly no deal breaker here. Gamers will be very happy with the Razer Lycosa.
Read the full review →The Lycosa is a simple, solid and stylish keyboard, but if you're a serious gamer, who's into macros and extra functionality then the less-stylish, but feature-packed G15 is probably going to be your weapon of choice.
Read the full review →The Lycosa really has everything the average PC gamer could ask for; a slim, sleek, and sexy design, and all the features gamers have come to expect from a keyboard. So, if you have the extra cash or if you manage to find the Lycosa on sale, this is the keyboard for you.
Read the full review →The experience is marred by several flaws, meaning that unless you feel a particular affinity for the rubberised, laptop-like keys or the ability to macro-program any key, there are better options out there for the money.
Read the full review →When it comes right down to it, we still favour the Razer Tarantula, but the Lycosa is a decent enough board and shouldn’t be sniffed at. It also just goes to show how decent a manufacturer Razer is too that, even when the company is at its worst, it’s still better than the rest.
Read the full review →The quality of the RAZER Lycosa is typical RAZER - thoughtfully designed and well implemented with a definite feeling of sturdy construction oozing from it. One thing to remember here though is how easily the RAZER Lycosa attracts dust and fingerprints.

This is one of the worst keyboards that I've used. Here are the problems that I had with it: 1) The backlighting was awful. I'm not sure what they were going for here, but if it was "making the keyboard useless," they succeeded. I am a touch typist, but it is still handy to...

meh. this keyboard is flakey. it looks good, but button presses get repeated too often, and keymaps to random letters get lost randomly. the only way to fix it is to unplug/re-plug.

Main complaint are the stiff keys. I have to press harder to press a key and yet it doesn't feel like I'm pressing it. This could be sovled by adding more depth to a keystroke. The touch screen panel is stupid. The button to turn off the backlight is also backlit. Therefore if I accidentally...

I enjoy the keyboard very much, actual have two, one for work and one for home. The only problem I have had is the one I use at work gets a bit dirty and some keys will stick or be hard to press. Other than that i would never go back to a non back lit keyboard.

It's a Razer, which means it can take a beating. In response to the blacklight levels: I am not looking at my hands often. In fact most of the time I would need lighting (late at night / early in the morning) I only use the WASD keys. If you are a touch typer as well you should have any...

It's supposed to be a gamer keyboard. But in fact it's not even close to. Most cheap keyboards have better WSAD cluster roll over. If you bind "caps lock" button for run/walk, you will not be able to simultaneously use it with W (forward) and A/D (strafe) keys. In other words combinations "Caps...

The big draw with this keyboard for me was the design and the integrated Mic/Headset and DEDICATED USB 2.0 port with its own power source. It all is bundled into one larger cable that splits at the end with 2 USB 2.0 and a mic/stereo 3.5mm jack. The touch panel is a little temperamental with it...

The touch controls for lighting and media control sucks big time. You really can't press the play/next buttons without looking at the panel, and they are not very sensitive. I bought a second-hand Lycosa, but I definitely wouldn't get a first-hand one - it's way too expensive.
