   Beautifully ergonomic!!! Unfortunately my hands are a lil small but i’m sure i’ll get used to it in no time. 30 keys are still not enough for arma 3, damn!!! I wish i could have smaller keys and more of them instead. I wish the height of the palm rest could be decreased and not just angled. I wish the keys would lit according to the mapped keys, oh well my wishes never end. All in all, i am throughly impressed by this product and i highly recommend this to anyone looking for a tactile ergonomic gaming arsenal. Pair it with a corsair m65 and a mechanical keyboard and wham bam, your ready to lock and load!!! Ps u gotta have average or larger hands otherwise u’ll end up with wishes like me………….

   Never again sums up my feeling on razer. I have been using there products for over 8 years. keyboards , gamepad’s and headphones mostly. I already said I would not buy another pair of headphones and when my nostromo died i took a chance. I was burned in the end. Let me explain. This gamepad would be great for a casual user that is not going to play more then 3 hours a day. If you are like me and play more then that. The problem is with the the rubber pad on the bottom of the orbweaver. This is held on by glue that when it heats up (from the continue use from your hand) causes it to become less sticky and thus the problem. It comes off! Now having experienced razer’s technical support I decided to try to Glue it back on using contact cement. This worked for about 2 weeks then it fell off again. I decided to call razer and see about getting a replacement. They said sure ship it to us and we will send you out a replacement. Sadly I can not do this mainly because I have been using this gamepad in EVERY game I play and thus would be unable to play anything while it was on its way to and back to me. I am going to be getting a Logitech g13. Sad I used to really Love razer and now will never buy another product.

   When you need a single-hand keyboard controller unit (gaming or otherwise), this is perfect. I customized all of the keys and then wrote the customization down on a piece of paper on the wall – not for gaming, but for programming. For me, it really only worked well with one key plan – because it just becomes too hard to remember and train your fingers when you have multiple key plans.

   I only use this at my standing desk, but that’s not infrequent. The palm rest works as a core part of this unit, and it works well.

   The fact that it saves your settings (i.e., your key customization) automatically over the internet so that you have it on any other computer in the future is key. I would not use it otherwise as I wouldn’t want yet another thing that’s a hassle to set up every time you’re on a new computer. But it does have automatic cloud back-up, so it’s a great unit.

   I gave it an extra star since I really liked it while it worked as it should. Unfortunately, I suffered from the same issue as many others I have found with some googling. The cheap glue on the palm and wrist rests. As you can see, the rubber on the palm rest has slid and sticky glue is exposed and no matter how many times I slide it back it re-occurs within minutes. You will also notice that bubbles have begun to form underneath the pad on the wrist rest so the same issue will be occurring there soon enough. Unlike many others with this issue, I did not game heavily for a while so mine started peeling after a year had passed and therefore I am SOL. I wouldn’t buy this thing if I were you…THANKS RAZER! -_-

   I used it all the time. The adjustability of it helps to fit my long slim hands during gaming sessions and keeps away those dreaded cramped claw hands that you can get with some other less ergonomic pads. I supposed I would prefer the stick be an actual analog style joy stick instead of a hat pad but it works alright.

   In this review, I’ll go about the pros and cons that I found on the razer orbweaver 2014.

   First of all, it is definitely a nice product. It’s hard to get used to, but when you know where you macros and key shortcut are placed, it can improve your game.

   When I bought it, I tough about using it for FPS, since the analog on the side looked like a thumbstick from a controller. But it is not a thumbstick, it is a 8 direction pad which you can use for shortcuts in game like WoW and mobas.

   The ergonomic of the orbweaver is fantastic and long gaming sessions are no problem at all. I guess you can use the orbweaver for something else than gaming, but I only used it for that.

   Even if I like the product, I find it a bit overprice for what you get. I mean it is the price of a normal mechanical keyboard after all.

   This is not for everybody, and I honestly can’t say if a keyboard would be better, but I hated the fact that a keyboard doesn’t really fit your hand, it has no special form like a controller would for example. This solved the issue I had with keyboards. If you do decide to buy this, BUY AN MMO MOUSE. I have one, and I don’t think I could play most games with the Orbweaver without an MMO mouse, it just doesn’t have enough buttons.

   Razer products are junk. I’ve had multiple razer products before giving up on them. An orbweaver, megalodon, deathadder, naga, black widow. I replaced the megalodon twice in 6 months. My orbweaver felt nasty cause glue sticks to your hand. I thought that if I just removed the glue that this pad would be useful. I was wrong since the thumb broke from light tapping and Razer wouldn’t replace it. The naga has 2 side buttons that wont work and razer wont replace it. Find a company that cares about it’s customers concerns. Pay less, get more AVOID RAZER.

   Got this to replace my Logitech G13 after it died. Honestly the G13 is half the price and far superior as it has a limited but useful LCD, a joystick/mouse thumb stick that suits my needs as I am not very fond of WSAD controls and I would say the layout of the Orbweaver is overall less efficient. Also it does have multiple presets, but unlike the G13 doesn’t have dedicated buttons for changing presets or an LCD to tell you what is what and actually has 2 less buttons on the main pad. The configuration software is very good, though you need to register and be online to use it and may be a tad better than the Logitech software otherwise. It does have a very good construction and is adjustable though, and I’m hoping it lasts longer than 2 and a half years, though if this breaks or an upgraded G13 comes out, I’ll likely buy that. It is also a tad smaller and lighter than the G13 if you care about that and is backlit, though unlike the G13, unless you pay more for an already overpriced device, you are stuck with neon green. All in all most of my issues are a preference to the features of the G13 and the Orbweaver being well over priced, it is a very well constructed and thought out piece of equipment and if it were about $80 like the G13, I’d certainly recommend it, though if you want to shell out the extra $80 go ahead.

    I bought this to replace an aging Nostromo N52TE. This unit is an improved version with mechanical keys and an extra row as well.
    I have been using these since the original N52. It is the perfect accessory for FPS games to me. This particular unit is more adjustable than the predecessors and fits my hand well. It took a day or two to get used to it. The layout is a little different but not enough to cause issues. I do like the clicky keys. They are a bit loud, but with headphones on I don’t notice. Tactile feedback is good and snappy. You definitely know when you press a key. The only wish I had was this it came in RGB so that I could make it match all the blue stuff on my system. You can switch off the lights so there is that option…
    I use the D-pad for movement. I have seen others complain it is too sensitive but it hasn’t been a problem for me after about the first 5 minutes.
    A little on the pricey side, but what gaming product isn’t these days?

    Great product but had an issue with Razer Synapse. You have to use Razer Synapse for this and can’t use a stand alone driver. Razer Synapse tends to give a plethora of problems.
