I really wanted to like the Razer Lycosa, for its svelte looks, blue backlighting, and for daring to eschew any dedicated gaming keys. And after a while I did, as the smaller sibling to the Tarantula overcame initial dislike to offer up an average typing experience and an above average gaming one. But the experience is marred by some flaws, meaning that unless you feel a particular affinity for the rubberized, laptop-like keys or the ability to macro-program any key, there are more dangerous arachnids out there for the money.
