Oh wow. Already wasn't a fan of Razer cuz their build quality went to shit, but this plants them firmly in malice territory.
Already wasn't a fan cause their gaming peripherals use janky Windows apps. No support for Linux. That's why I go ducky and xtrfy.
You mean their build quality was actually good at one point?
I bought one of their first mice. It was $200 and their flagship product. The paddles on left and right click squeaked. They squeaked. Because the plastic was so cheap and the way they built it. I didn’t look at them for like 10 years. Bought their Viper Pro 2 couple of years ago. The receiver went and then the wheel went a year later. Never had either of those go on any other mouse and I’ve used a ton over the past 15 years. All gaming, flagship.
They resolved the matter but doesn’t make their build quality good.
I got their first gen Naga and it was outstanding. Idk if I just got lucky, but it straight up felt like something engineered and built by NASA. Their products since haven't come close to hitting that bar.
Psst, their build quality was always shit.
I may have gotten lucky, but their first gen Naga was the best mouse I've ever had. Their stuff now feels like a happy-meal toy in comparison.
I think the Naga was kind of their flagship mouse. Like the one mouse they built decently. The snake themed mice were junk all the way back to the mid 00's.
