RememberTheApollo_ comments on 'To own a Razer Artisan Keycap is to display one’s allegiance, a mark of belonging within the Cult of Razer' says the PR nonsense behind this $90 coil of snakes

Worst quality headsets ever with massive bloatware for a software package to install drivers and RGB controls. They used to have decent gaming mice, but now so many other companies make equal or better there’s no reason at all to buy a Razer.

How's Linux support? As far as I know, most other companies don't get the save level of support that Logitech and Razer do.

Maybe that'll change when Keychron finish their zgm firmware project and some mice with it hit the market.

There's unofficial FOSS reimplementations. Use the openrazer kernel module and polychromatic as tbe configuration gui.

I know. My point is that Razer and Logitech are known to be well-supported. I don't know if that is true for other manufacturers.

I disagree. I’ve been using a logictech gamepad for 7 years now. Had a razer before that. The logitech works just as well and is cheaper. As for linux support that’s good.

Most hardware I've checked out from this company was actually a piece by piece replica of something a competitor was selling with less flashy nonsense and much less bloatware (or none). So pardon me if I've always thought of Razer as a counterfeiting company with a huge branding and marketing budget.
