so today I'm going to be having a look at the Razer lycosa mirror special
edition so this is a backlit gaming keyboard and the biggest difference as
far as I can tell between the lycosa and the lycosa mirror special edition is
that it has a high gloss mirror finish
on the hyper response Keys okay backlight illumination macro
programmable gaming Keys that's very cool let's have a look at the back and
we'll see what they are listing in terms of specs so it is a plastic key top
okay it is a three simultaneous key
presses is the uh the the anti- ghosting features that it has oh no this is
stupid I'm reading the versus a standard laptop one okay now this is a high gloss
mirror finish key top selective anti- ghosting gaming cluster okay so the
anti- ghosting gaming cluster is around all of the gaming keys that you would
typically use and you can see one of the backlight features that they have around
that gaming cluster is that you can backlight only the gaming Keys like the
WD okay other cool stuff they have a touch panel media Keys which um is kind
of like what they have on the moo speakers it's all like touch sensitive
it's very cool and then they have an integrated USB exension extension Port
earphone out microphone in Jacks that's always kind of nice to see as well all
right what else do we have here 1,000 HZ
Ultra pulling okay that's enough of the Box let's open this thing up and have a
look because ultimately that's what matters more than anything else about a
keyboard is how good it feels when you're trying to type and or game on it
so let's get this baby open I love Razor's packaging like just the black
look with the green accents on it and the shiny box it's very nice anyway yeah
see this this is what I'm talking about this is awesome packaging awesome
presentation okay you got your razor logo so let's see what we have included
here first of all the razor guy is saying this thing is really good and
then we have the accessory package here so for gamers by Gamers let's get this
open and to find out what we have inside all right if I could pull this
stuff out then that would work a lot better so we have an certificate of
authenticity in both English and French we have the quick start guide which
shows you how to plug a keyboard into a computer okay that's awesome then we
have the master guide which is a much longer version of how to plug a keyboard
into a computer probably shows you how to configure the software all the little
things like that tells you all the little cool stuff about this keyboard in
English and French very nice uh we have a little cloth for cleaning your
keyboard that's really good because for I guarantee this thing's a fingerprint
magnet couple of razor stickers and a razor product catalog so it's got a
bunch of the other stuff that razor cells very cool all right let's get this
mid play out here and let's have a look at the keyboard wow this is like a huge
box how am I supposed to get at this okay so in terms of plugs here we go we
have one USB interface for the keyboard itself one for the Hub okay or the
extension and then we have a head phone and microphone Jack that go around to
the back of your computer and this is a really neat feature that I really like
to see I mean what makes a keyboard a gaming keyboard unless it has something
that optimizes it for a gaming experience so it means that you can take
your your headset and you can plug it around into your keyboard so that it's
not hanging down across your keyboard into the back of the computer very very
handy so here's the back of the keyboard let's look at that first there is
nothing exceptional about it whatsoever you've got a couple of these tilty
things awesome okay let's go around to the front so that is the lycosa mirror
now I have to confess I was expecting more of a mirror and less of a dark
mirror but this is really nice looking too so it's got a highly highly glossy
black finish over all of the keys you can see through down to where the back
light comes from okay so that's a clear that's a clear spot on every single key
and in terms of typing it's not very loud actually I'm going to
stop talking for a second so that you can get some idea how loud the keys are
in terms of comfort it's hard to gauge very quickly but they have a very
sensible layout to this keyboard they haven't done anything stupid that would
interfere with gaming like shortening your left shift key or that would
interfere with typing like shortening the backspace key over here so they've
got a proper proper layout and I think
I'm pretty much done talking about the keyboard why don't we do just a couple
more close-up shots I'll get the cameraman to kind of have a look down
the keyboard here so you can see just how shiny this thing is I mean check out
check out my hand in the reflection that is one shiny keyboard surface thank you
