Microsoft Reclusa gaming keyboard reviewed

Microsoft and Razer’s collaboration on a gaming mouse has been pretty well received, but it looks like their attempt at a gaming keyboard may not have been quite as successful, at least if ExtremeTech’s review is any indication. While they liked the Reclusa’s design and nifty blue backlighting, they were less than impressed by the comparative lack of macro keys (just ten of ‘em), which are limited to only eight keystrokes apiece — and, as neat as that backlighting is, they would have appreciated a way to turn it off. That said, they still think the keyboard should be more than enough to satisfy casual gamers, although they recommend those with more demanding needs stick to their G11 or G15.
