heyy guys

my hand in general isnt that big and my fingers arent like freakishly long.
maybe i am not used to it but man.. i do misclick a lot...

and for the person who said too bad about me getting the Lycosa keyboard..

i wasn't willing to spend more than what the lycosa was going for...

and the one underneath it, the arctosa i think? didn't have backlight and i thought the backlight aspect of the lycosa was cool. but i feel that you're right. because of the rubberish material, it does seem like it can attract a lot of like dandruff or whatever. and the plastic, glossy finish will definitely keep fingerprint smudges.

oh well... you kept the keyboard for 2 years didnt u?? =) good enough for me!

I have a Lyacosa Mirror edition and yes, it gets dirtier than fucking anything I've ever seen in my life.

You'll clean it every three or four days and then after a few weeks you're just like. FUCK THIS SUCKS. My keyboard looks all fingerprinty and icky. I just clean it for LANs and that's it.

The other thing with the Lyacosa is that if you button mash, your keys can fall off. Right now my up arrow is actually my "2 v" key from my numpad cause my up arrow fell off a long time ago and I can't find it.

So don't button mash too hard. Course my Lyacosa is a few years old. Could just be normal wear and tear.

I have similar issues with my DeathAdder, but it's really only a problem with how I sit/hand position on the mouse, as is likely your problem. Give it some time to adjust. If I put too much weight on my armrest for like, browsing the internet or whatever, I tend to misclick the right button like, every two minutes. Just find a good hand-position where it doesn't happen and work to keep it that way.

Good luck! Thankfully I haven't had the dreaded "Razer stuff breaks super quickly" issue yet so we'll see how things go for you! :D

My only issue with the Deathadder is that, for reasons unknown to me, when I'm in Mac OS, I usually turn off mouse acceleration so I can play games. When I kill mouse acceleration, then start SC2, it's suddenly back on again.

Doesn't seem to happen with other mice

I had an Arctosa for a while and switched to a Logitech Illuminated Keyboard, and it's like night and day (and not just because I now have a backlight, hur hur):

This keyboard is so quiet compared to the Arctosa it's indescribable.

The keys feel 100x times better as well. They're low profile keys, but they have that same "pop" that regular keyboards have. I went from the giant blue Logitech G15 to a Razer Arctosa, and ended up going back to the G15 thinking I just didn't like low profile keyboards for gaming. I kept the Arctosa for typing, but decided to get this Logitech Illuminated Keyboard because it's far, far, FAR quieter. I now understand that the keys on the Arctosa are just crap and that it wasn't the fact they were low profile. I refuse to game or type on anything but this keyboard now.

(Image) Side view
It doesn't slide at all. In fact, when I first tested it and tried to slide it backwards, it's so solid I ended up sliding my keyboard drawer closed. You seriously have to pick this thing up to move it, which isn't a problem because it has a little lip on the sides.

(Image) Sexy white and orange backlight
It has a sexy as hell white/orange back light with three brightnesses and an off state. Unlike the G15, you can see the characters very, very clearly when the backlight is off. In the image you can see the numlock sign on the bottom. The caps/scrol/num lock indicators are a bright white on the right side of that black strip when on, and invisible when toggled off.

(Image) Function keys
The orange functions work out of the box without having to install drivers or software.

(Image) Raised bottom row
The bottom row (with space) is raised a bit, which is so incredible for low profile keyboards it should be standard. It makes ctrl+# so comfortable, and when typing with my thumb on the space key it feels so natural compared to hitting the body of the Arctosa with my thumb's joint.

It's the exact same length as the Arctosa, so no lost real estate.

The volume/backlight keys at the top right are regular buttons, not that crap "flat" section like the razer ones, which are ugly and hard to press properly.

This is seriously the best damn keyboard I've ever used in my life. Well worth the cost.

I do use a Razer mouse though, the Abyssus, and it's amazing. Logitech just owns them in keyboards.
