    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.

        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.
