Their priorities are horrible. How about producing an affordable gaming keyboard with good switches (mx reds ideal, mx browns if not) with NKRO and the option of no numpad? Sorry too busy jamming lights, usb hubs, headphone ports, giant wristrests that nobody wants, useless macro keys that make an even bigger footprint on the desk, and now apm based lighting on to a rubber dome or some mx blues with 2kro and then spending extra development time and money on "gaming optimized" 2kro.
Sounds like you know everything you need to in order to just go buy a Filco Tenkeyless... why not just do that and laugh at the gaymers?
I really like my Happy Hacking Pro 2, but the lack of F1-F4 is really really getting to me. Control is so right though that it is all worth it.

Such a lol concept. "Holy shit guyz my keyboard is liek goin all red n stuffz mai Apm is liek hooooooge omgomgomg"
Asshole. You made me spit up SunnyD all over myself.
Also, I only see the lighting helpful in my kind of gaming scenario because I play with my lights off.... otherwise I wouldn't even see the red lights and shit because I'm too focused on the screen. :|

Just rewire the red LED into a model rocket igniter and then stick the igniter into a bottle rocket. Place the bottle rocket on your lap and then start laddering your heart out...

I doubt Blizzard had much to do with razer's product. Blizzard maybe just gave a bit of info (if any), and gave permission for razer to make SC themed products.
There's bee post about this APM lighting before, so I'm not sure if this new topic is justified.
Reading is fundamental. >.>
Cool find. 
EDIT: New rules to the game. If you don't understand what not to do after reading the first 5 posts (or you didn't read them), I'm upping the ante.

thanks for the warning it actually made this thread much more interesting. Damn my constant browsing at work >_<
I actually ended up reading the threads linked in the OP and had a fun APM history lesson. Boxer replays being analyzed for the first time with 131 APM must have been awesome at the time. It's funny how far players have come. Also funny how a quick warning from an Admin can lead to such sweet reads. 
cheers!

Whats up with all these warnings? Do you get warned around here when you make fun of a Razer product?

Basically, the lights on the keyboard or the mouse will change color depending on your live APM: APM LightingI read that ad with a bit of "nostalgie" going back 7 years in the past, right here, on TeamLiquid.net where APM was invented: Who invented APM?Maybe some of you did not know about TL back then, but yes, this is the kind of impact that the TL community has on the world of eSports. It got Blizzard to add APM inside SC 2 and Razer inside its devices. Not bad. A round for TL 
Thank you for your contributions to the entire Starcraft community, JCA! BWchart helped me improve my gameplay in Brood War a lot by allowing me to see what parts of the game I wasn't focusing/playing well in. The fact that the concept of APM has been embraced by the Korean scene, Blizzard, and people making products about them testifies to just how brilliant the concept was in assessing player activity.
In fact, it was your website that led me to TeamLiquid.net because I looked up APM after hearing it talked about in Youtube videos on VioleTAK. Thank you so so so much!

Jibba, you made this thread a whole lot more entertaining with all of the red text

lol so many warned!
But to get serious the idea is good for this that you get warned when your under attack and when your APM is going low but too bad the mouse looks kind of robotisch and not very ergonomic.

I guess I'm alone in thinking its neat. But 99% of the time, I have to keep my volume low so I don't bother the g/f watching tv... so when it blinks red when being attacked, I might pick it up a little faster.. guess I'm the minority. Plus my laptop kb and mouse need to be replace..*shrug*

There are a hilarious amount of warnings in this thread.
I dont think APM is important enough to warrant a specific gauge for it, besides the counter in the replay. Its not like its that important to know on the spot (oh no! my APM is too low! better spam a bit more...).
Seems like it is just a fancy but unnecessary feature that sets this mouse apart from others.
Might be funny for commentators though: "oh snap, his mouse just switched from orange to red! shit just got real"

you're making the same mistake as all those warned before you, learn from us!
this thread is getting more hiliarious as all the new posters are still making the mistake us earlier warned made. The thread discussion isn't about the Razer mouse feature!!

Over many millenia, human brains have developed large frontal lobes which sets them apart from other animals.
The executive functions of the frontal lobes involve the ability to recognize future consequences resulting from current actions, to choose between good and bad actions (or better and best), override and suppress unacceptable social responses, and determine similarities and differences between things or events. Therefore, it is involved in higher mental functions. Source: Wikipedia.
Posting in threads before actually reading them constitutes an unacceptable social response, and failing to suppress this urge will get you punished. Our users all possess this ability (besides the Walrus and Sheep) and are expected to utilize it.

No offense but I bet the OP works for Razer! Definitely shows that the Razer guerrilla advertising crew does it's research well though, and knows how to suck up to the community!
It is pretty cool that APM was invented here.
Edit:
WHOA, take it back. Looks like jca is a long time contributor and wrote some utility software to help people with bw.

so much hate...razer is a great company and make quality products, my 5 year old copperhead speaks for itself...

Nice save.

APM lighting is honestly a gimmick, pretty much in line with any licensed product for anything. If APM alerting is what you need, get SC2Gears with APMAlert that tells you whenever your APM drops, and you can set its threshold for doing so as well.
