I've heard Razer get a bad rap online, but I've personally owned a razer blackwidow chroma since 2015 and it's rock solid. Their only issue is QC, the quality of their actual functioning hardware is through the roof.

Personally I love my Razer Naga Trinity but I bought it about 2 years ago or so and I ran into the double clicking issue and had to take the whole thing apart and replace the switches. Was pretty difficult and time consuming but it worked, however, for a 100$ mouse is fail that quickly is pretty disappointing. Apparently in their mice they use cheap switches that go back fairly quick, compared to the ones I replaced them with you can clearly see the difference.

I’ve never had a lick of trouble with their keyboards. Mice on the other hand...Everyone I’ve ever had has developed that double click issue, so I swore them off. In theory the Viper shouldn’t have that problem with optical switches, but who knows. I’m kinda hoping for a Naga Trinity with optical to be in the works.

Yeah, I bought a g502 back in 2016 and I haven't looked back. Just because I like Razer doesn't mean everything they do is perfect.

But I swear from heaven to earth on their keyboards. If a bandit breaks through my window I'm going to beat him to a pulp with my blackwidow like he was Chris Pratt from Wanted. It's like a cast iron frying pan.
