Well this is beyond absurd.
“To own a Razer Artisan Keycap is to display one’s allegiance, a mark of belonging within the cult of Razer,”
or the mark of someone with a 3D printer and 9 cents of plastic.
Still, you’d need a pretty good 3D printer to get that much detail in such a small object, right?
Yes, but you’d have to start with wanting to print something as dumb and ugly as this.
Doesn’t seem that outlandish for a resin printer.
No.
You can do it with a $200 printer using a smaller nozzle.
This, my (former) 3d printer ($200) can print whatever with a smaller nozzle, the .2 rather than the stock .4.
The cheapest resin printer can do this easily.
Not even if it was free would I want this.
But what if it was a clitoris?
Razer, you could’ve just released the keycap and been like “Hey look, fancy handmade snake keycap :)”
there was no need to release a PR statement where you verbally suck yourself off. Calling your brand a “cult” is not the good look you think it is.
That quote turns a neat little thing into a joke.
The price makes it an insult
I’ve seen some crazily priced keycaps for what was basically someone dropping some 3d prints into epoxy. There’s a market for it.
We already reached perfection.
All Razer does is make overpriced trash so this fits right in with the rest of the lineup.
Hey now. I found they also have horrible customer service and try to weasel their way out of warranty cases.
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.
Razer is deprecating the standalone app and moving to a web app for the next version of synapse. So it was be OS agnostic.
The beta for the new version is out and works flawless on Linux and Mac devices. But it only supports like 3 device so far they haven’t had time to roll out support for the back log.
They still have the only good keypad on the market. Everything else is either gimmicky and made of cheap plastic or basically unuseable.
The naga is still a best inclass mouse, and the deathadder and mamba mice are some of the best large mice in the world if you hate the stupid ass retarded trend of tiny light crap mice that everyone makes.
Their keyboards are mostly meh, if you can find they half off they are fine I guess.
And synapse 5 is now a web app and thus universal and works on Linux. But it only just started rolling out and only supports like 3 devices so far. Based on synpase 3 and 4a roll out time for devices we should see good coverage of devices in about a year.
Over all the only problem razer has at this point is their products are about 20-30% more expensive then they should be for the quality.
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.
The Death Adder was objectively a damn fine mouse. So why do I not recommend it? Because of the software that requires an online account to change settings.
Also, if I wanted “artisanal keycaps” I’d go on etsy and buy from actual artists.
I have two questions:
- Where can I find the .stl?
- Who wants one in which colors?
Just gen AI it. Probably what they did
No Pressa Snek
I have owned several razer products, mostly mice and they have all been utter overpriced hype garbage.
Only thing good was that they had a good selection of large ambidextrous mice. No idea if that is still the case
There is really only one product from razer that I would recommend. And that’s the Kitsune.
It is their high end leverless fight stick. But even that is a tough recommendation, as you can get cheaper, 99% as good options for half the price. Or something equally expensive from vitrix or or companies.
Outside of razer making garbage quality accessories: who the fuck would put that on F12?
When does anyone even press F12? Obviously this thing should go on the escape key.
You helped me figure it out, if you actually press it it will just break in 6 months so this makes it seem higher quality as you constantly cycle it between keyboards
For when you want to “hack” websites.
I press f12 and break a weirdly large amount… They make fantastic macro buttons. Nothing else uses them and you never hit them by accident.
Marketing works. They sold out in an hour.
That’s a pile of green poo?
90 dollars worth of a plastic pile of green poo.
You know, for that reassuring sense of cultish belonging to a corporation.
90 bucks, is fucking cheap as hell compared to what i see most indie keycap designers charge. As much as people are making fun of razer for this, it’s more just how fucking stupid artisan keycaps as a fucking concept are and less razer doing it.
Honestly I’m surprised razer is the cheap option they normally over charge for this shit.
How to make money off of mentally ill rich kids I guess
It is a mark of belonging to a cult, alright…
I don’t think they know what artisan means.
