In every form of combat, knowing and having the correct equipment is of vital importance. It’s the same in the gaming world where having state-of-the-art gaming gear gives you that all-important edge over your rivals. Being able to execute your plan of action at breakneck speeds without losing your nerve and being absolutely comfortable with the feel of your gaming gear can help you achieve your dream of riches and fame.

The Arctosa from Razer is a mid to high level gaming keyboard that can handle complex game manoeuvres that would simply not be possible to execute on normal ordinary keyboards. Razer is well known in the computer gaming community as one of the best manufacturers of professional gaming gear. The wired Razer Arctosa Gaming Keyboard is a feature rich and budget friendly model that will take your gaming skills to the next level.

Style and Portability

The Razer Arctosa is a durable gaming keyboard that is much slimmer than contemporary keyboards that are used at work or home. The dimensions of the Razer Arctosa Gaming Keyboard are 470 x 222 x 23 mm which is spacious enough to perfectly space the keys for easy access and error free gaming. You can easily carry the Razer Arctosa Gaming Keyboard to your friend’s house to continue gaming as it weighs only 720 grams.

Serious players know that the ergonomics of a gaming keyboard matters as on an average day a gamer spends at least 2 hours gaming. The detachable wrist rest that comes with the Razer Arctosa Gaming Keyboard provides the perfect angle and wrist support to help you play for extended sessions of team games that go all night. The feet stands at the back of the keyboard help elevate the Arctosa to enhance the angle for gamers that need it.

Performance

The Razer Arctosa Gaming Keyboard comes with Macro capabilities that allow you to program different keys to execute a series of actions by pressing a single key. This means you can program the character to perform 3 actions by pressing one key instead of having to press all three keys thus saving you time to execute other actions. The Razer Arctosa Gaming Keyboard is compatible with a PC loaded with Windows 7, Vista or XP.

Switching the Razer Arctosa Gaming Keyboard to the gaming mode disables the pesky Windows key that disrupts gameplay by minimizing the game and pulling up the Windows menu. You can also avoid this issue by just assigning a macro setting to the Windows key, so the next time you press that key it performs an action like jump, strafe or activate the nitrous boost. The Razer Arctosa comes with selective anti-ghosting for the WASD cluster which means even if you press all those keys at the same time they will execute the order without any ghosting signal failures.

You can also program 10 customizable software profiles that will each have different set of macro settings for different games or specifically for different characters. These profiles can be activated on-the-fly and the Razer Arctosa Gaming Keyboard will instantly work with the new setting giving you an advantage over others struggling to keep up. The keys of the Razer Arctosa have a slim keycap design that is very responsive and bounces back immediately after release. The keys are also designed to have the hyperesponse feature which ensures maximum response for critical actions during intense gameplay.

The multimedia keys are located on the top right corner of the Razer Arctosa Gaming Keyboard and offers options to control the volume and playback options. The Razer Arctosa comes with 1000 Hz ultrapolling feature and has a 1 ms response time that drastically reduces the delay in transferring data between the keyboard and the system.

Multimedia and Connectivity

The Razer Arctosa Gaming Keyboard provides a mute volume option on the multimedia pad which allows you to quickly mute the system sound in case you need to answer your phone. This Gaming Keyboard connects to a USB port which also powers it. The system requirements to install this Razer keyboard are Windows OS, USB port, 35 MB hard disk space and Internet connection to install the software. So if you are a gamer who’s on a budget this keyboard will exceed your expectation in terms of performance and style.
