    Hehe, both of them look really nice, especially the Lycosa Mirror, but I keep my self-repaired Razer Lycosa.

    They both look nice; the Arctosa is obviously the Lycosa without the fancy electronics. Razer makes the best PC gaming products on the market in my experience.

    Backlighting is cool, but I don't need no stinkin' backlighting. It wouldn't do me any good anyway.

    I think Steelseries will be giving Razer a run for their (our) money. The Steelseries Ikari mouse is probably one of the best gaming peripherals I've purchased. Apparently they offer some really good headsets; good reviews of a couple in this month's PC Gamer anyway. I think we'll see some decent keyboards from them soon.

    Those Daskeyboards look nice. Does one actually learn the blank keyboard fairly fast? I might slap down some chump change for one of those Ultimates. :)

    I currently use a Razer Lycosa, and asside from the dim button lighting, it's an excellent keyboard. If the Lycosa Mirror will be increasing brightness on the backlight, then I'll certainly try it out.

    I honestly have to say that the razor mouse as well as keyboard are a fundamentally unnessassary but yet powerful combo.. I actually enjoy my basic ibm laser mouse and basic keyboard but I have used razor products for gaming and they are by far some of the best on the market.

    the Built quality of Razer products is very good ..

    my razer Deathadder looks totally new as the first day.

    whereas my brothers 3 month old Logitech mx518 is already losing its shine.

    many say its overpriced but trust me... for a good performance and built quality its worth it
