Gilbert and Pete are full of WIN.

We just received an absolutely awesome email from Pete and Gilbert. Obvious fans of L4D and diehard fans of Razer . We salute them both.

Here’s what they sent in, word for word.

===============================

Well, Pete and I, are a couple of guys who want to play computer games 24/7 so with that being said we wanted to have the best gaming gear that was out there and we have tried it all. He had the first RAZER™ product which was the Tarantula keyboard when we had our LAN party he brought it over and I was in Awe from the blue lights to the RAZER™ snakes then he added the BattleLight™ which was way more than I expected in a keyboard.

From that moment on, I thought that RAZER™ was the coolest thing I’ve ever seen, and that’s when RAZER™ became one of the sweetest parts of my life. Pete and I own all of the same RAZER™ accessories which include:

Razer Lachesis™
Razer eXactMat™
Razer Tarantula™
Razer BattleLight™
Razer Barracuda™ HP-1
Razer Barracuda™ AC-1
(And have had just about every other mouse and keyboard)

Other than these awesome RAZER™ Products, Pete and I decided to add something else to the RAZER™ family that stands for all gamers around the world that truly know what the best gaming accessories are and that was our RAZER™ TATTOO’S.

Well, prior to RAZER™ products, I have been blessed with a beautiful wife (Kim) and 3 great kids who include 2 boys and 1 girl, they have all changed me into what I call the best Gaming Dad ever!!!

My life wouldn’t be complete without them. I’m self employed building or working on computers and I’m also very lucky to be a Homemaker so know you can see that gaming was one of the traits I was destined for and thanks to RAZER™ I’ll be one of the best!!! Pete still lags way behind compared to my skills, but since he had Razer products first, he started getting better than I.

So it convinced me that there was something to be said about having Razer gear. Now I am still better than Pete because we have the exact same equipment. The real cool thing about Pete is how he understands the games we play, his time is spent more analyzing the game and characters we play with, then taking this knowledge and teaching the rest of us how to play the each character and to master each of their certain moves.

Your Friend’s,
UNCLE™R1C0
UNCLE™CAFFEINE

===============================

Thank you Gilbert and Pete for your photos and dedication. We are in absolute awe.

GLHF and best regards,
The Razer Team

Razer Roadshow

Recently I heard from a user who had spent several weeks putting the Tarantula through its paces. He had created a multitude of key assignments and macros for his favorite games. Rather than simply write about his experiences I made the trek from San Diego to his office in Mission Viejo, California and captured his experiences on camera.

Travis is the office manager at Howie’s Game Shack, a cavernous LAN center located just off the 5 freeway in Mission Viejo. They cater to PC and Xbox games and host a slew of tournaments. Quite a nice place to spend an afternoon I must say. Hopefully hearing the unrehearsed and unedited comments about the features and capabilities of the Tarantula from real people like Travis are helpful to you. Please let me know if you have similar stories and if you’d like Razerguy to pay you a visit to capture those stories on video.

Tarantula: Truths and Lies

Ah forums, one of my favorite topics. Contrary to some of the recent forum posts, we did not rush this product out to the stores. There is support for drivers and service available via telephone in North America or online through Razerzone to anyone.

The exact same units that we are selling in stores are being reviewed by "professional" people and winning awards (CNET just gave the Tarantula an Editor’s Award today).

New technology products often take a few weeks to work out any potential system conflicts we can’t test for because some components are so new. This is why we make products that allow firmware updating.

The Tarantula has been actively in development for over 2 years. Gamers ask us what we are working on and because we love input we share more information than we probably should from time to time. Then some of you get pissed off because we don’t hit your dream dates? Well, you can’t have it both ways. Razer will ship products when we believe they are ready – not before. We will continue to "communicate" with the gamers who want to know what’s coming. We will continue to seek outside innovation in the form of testing and validating our products.

If you are the type of gamer who prefers the standard design and development of copycat OEM product manufacturers that is your prerogative; but if you are the type of gamer who is looking for an edge in their game then read the reviews, read the hype, talk to your friends and make your own intelligent decision.

Bling-bling

Perhaps you are all missing the point of why we opted for anti-ghosting vs. a lot of bling lighting. We wanted to build the ultimate gaming keyboard and in doing so we placed more emphasis on key binds (chording as many keys as you have fingers), key touch, perfect resistance, lowest possible key latency, quiet keys, etc., etc.

Until you have actually used this keyboard there is no way to compare it to anything else you have ever used.

Because of the anti-ghosting feature every key works on an independent mechanical switch. This makes a great deal of backlighting impossible. We realize that gamers like to play with only the ambient light from their monitor and hardware and therefore we added as much lighting as we possibly could. The BattleLight is a direct lighting tool that will be available as soon as we can get the quality levels perfected and will cast a soft light on the keyboard. It is not a perfect solution for lighting but when I weight the benefits of a very advanced keyboard that allows me enhanced game play and amazing programmability the lighting trade-off is easy to swallow.
