Reviewed on November 6, 2006Razer brings all the polish to its Tarantula gaming keyboard that it has to mice over the years. The Tarantula is a little more expensive than other keyboards geared toward gamers, but its build quality, customization options, and responsiveness are definitely worth it.TAGS:Razer, keyboard, Logitech, key, gamer, icon, button, mouse, games
Reviewed on January 24, 2008Razer's Lycosa gaming keyboard has a lot of promise, and it mostly delivers, thanks to its solid feel, smooth typing, and powerful macro capabilities. We wish Razer had paid more attention to the LED lighting, but for strong touch-typing gamers, we think you'll like the Lycosa once you put your hands on it.TAGS:Razer, key, keyboard, USB, gamer
Reviewed on February 27, 2007Razer's DeathAdder gaming mouse is a powerful accessory for fans of 3D shooters and others who might demand a high degree of customizability in their mice. We wish that Razer had delivered on its promise of Vista support out of the box, but aside from that and a few other issues, the DeathAdder performs exceptionally well.TAGS:Razer, mouse, Logitech, Microsoft Windows Vista, button, setting, gamer, Microsoft Windows XP, games, Microsoft Windows

Reviewed on April 23, 2007We wish Razer had considered the value proposition a bit more with its iPod dock-equipped ProType keyboard, but if you think minimized cable clutter is worth an extra $30 and the loss of some configurability, you'll find yourself with an attractive keyboard that's a pleasure to type on.TAGS:Razer, iPod dock, dock, Apple iPod, keyboard, key, adapter
Reviewed on March 20, 2007Logitech finally earns a CNET Editors' Choice award with this update to its flagship gaming mouse.

Reviewed on December 11, 2006If all you want is a backlit keyboard, Saitek's Eclipse II does that very well. We wish that Saitek had also refined the key feel and added a few other features. Aside from lighting up, it doesn't offer gamers much to get excited about.TAGS:Razer, keyboard, desk, key, gamer, games
Reviewed on August 24, 2006Microsoft's updated IntelliMouse Explorer 3.0 brings a few gamer-friendly tweaks to the design of the venerable mouse. We don't expect that it will win over the hard-core gamer, but for everyone else, the IntelliMouse Explorer 3.0 is a fine mouse with only a few minor issues.TAGS:Logitech, Razer, mouse, laser, sensor, movement, button, gamer, Microsoft Corp., games, design, Microsoft Windows
Reviewed on January 2, 2007The Ideazon Merc Gaming Keyboard brings some innovation to the typical game keyboard by creating a separate cluster of game keys in a supposedly easier-to-use layout. We didn't take a shine to the game pad, though, and in general, the Merc's response wasn't as tight as we hoped for. It's cheap though, and its software is powerful. Those features add value, just don't expect the Merc to help you win any Quake tournaments.TAGS:Razer, key, command, layout, keyboard
