I have several razer peripherals. All have failed except one that intermittently disconnects (3rd set of headphones w/microphone) -- often either killing the app using it, or requiring it be restarted. Keyboard -- dead. Mouse, no longer charges batteries (thought it was battery until found replacement, which came w/a charge, but wouldn't recharge). 2nd headphone+mic -- dead, 1st set -- dead. All of them, of course die out of the 1yr warrantee and the offer no repair or replacement past the warrantee.
They have a great looking product line -- but all plastic made junk designed to be disposed of and replaced in a few years.
With their hype marketing, aimed at young new buyers, they are sure to pull in lots of suckers for years to come.
Many (if not most?) new SW releases require some sort of online connection to activate. How is this that different?
It can get worse -- I bought two sets of headphones for 2 different computers, but the online SW only recognizes 1 set of settings, so the 2nd computer+its headphones is a separate device requiring a separate license (which the SW doesn't support!).
Massively messed up and their online support was of no help.

razer peripherals are junk anyway

how is this different than SW requiring initial online connect?
