Razer Chroma - Star Citizen keyboard layout

[HierarchAngel]

So I got the Razer Chroma Black Window 2 weeks before they released a Chroma Deathstalker keyboard -_- so sad cause I really do prefer Chiclet keys instead. Oh well, in any case I now have had the time to mess with lighting profiles when I stumbled upon this gem...

I like the blinking Alt + L for eject.

I'm going to look at the keyboard bindings some more and see if there is any other alterations I can do to the profile to suit me better. But I wanted to share it to you all in case you had a Razer Chroma keyboard so you could do the same.

Actually what keyboard is everyone using and while I'm asking what is your preferred keyboard switches? These Razer mechanical switches are loud -_- huge turn off if you are use to chiclet key presses.

I love the chroma line. I have the kraken headset and naga epic mouse. It may be some time before i get a keyboard. Currently using

Which is working out well for me still. I had a hiccup with it a week ago when i accidently created a short while trying to dig some crap that got into one of my usb ports... using a metalic object (while it was on... high five for epic stupidity :D Honestly know idea what i was thinking when i did that.) but it worked fine once i unplugged it and plugged it back in (after trying 5 times to unplug it and plug it back in to realize i was unplugging and plugging in my headset >.< i was definitely not at my best....)

I don't really have a preference when it comes to switches. I've heard people complaining about problems with certain keyboards and having certain key combos creating bad input and the like but i have yet to have that problem in any keyboard I've used and how mechanical provides best reliability... But my keyboards have always been sufficiently responsive and accurate that i can't see mechanical having some kind of significant advantage over mine. I mainly only care for the aesthetics. I like lights and transparent letters for the lights to show through an not just around the keys.

I also cant see why i would want to get a gaming keyboard for the bonus keys at a $100... there are plenty of keys on the keyboard itself plus i have the naga. its seemed to be sufficient for me. However i might get that chroma just for the beautiful colors :D THAT seems what would be worth the $100. Especially with color coded key mapping like that. A flashing eject button.... brilliant!

I do believe you owe an apology to my wallet... i dont think i can resist....

When it comes to Razer products I don't know why I still buy them, this keyboard I have it has some sort of issue at times thinking a key is pressed when it is not and I have to touch that key again to fix it. It's happened three times so far and I've owned this thing for a week. o_O Not promising.

But I too have the Naga, out of the 12 keys Feloric how many do you use? I ask because I find all the buttons to be so small and similar the most I've used is 1,2,3,6,12. Any other button feels hard to distinguish from another. Times like these I feel I should of considered the Logitech g600 since the pictures make it look the buttons aren't flush and perhaps more easily identifiable.

In the end though I agree with you about aesthetics, having more control over customization is fun. But at the end of the day a logitech backlit keyboard will always work. But still mechanical switches are so loud -_- and these Razer ones can't be as good as Razer says they are cause I've owned this keyboard for a little over a week or so now and three times has it assumed a key was pressed endlessly where I have to press the key itself to make it snap out of it. -_- sigh Razer quality is always questionable.

i actually frequently use all the numbers though 1-6 are the most common. Really depends on the game and sometimes i miss click but its usually an easy fix. also it sounds like you may have a faulty keyboard or error in your driver. i dont have a razer keyboard but the mouse and headset i got from them are great and i almost never have problems with them. I had a problem with the headset which wasnt the headsets fault. tried playing then minecraft win10 edition and it made a horrible screeching. but i was able to fix it by turning down the audio quality from my computer. think it is the games fault since its still very beta.

edit:

soo doing a quick search on google it may be synapse 2.0 if you have that installed. You could try uninstalling it and and installing an older driver to see if that fixes it
that was an old thread
theres another issue that it sometimes records macros when you dont know? maybe turn off macros?

well my wallet is a little lighter now. I went ahead and got black widow chroma stealth. liking it so far though the r looks weird and the steal is still quite clacky from what im used to.

[HierarchAngel]

yeah I can't stand the clacky sound of this tournament version either, I'm no uber pro gamer so Chiclet keys on their Deathstalker would of been perfectly fine for me. But yeah what colors are you rocking Feloric?

Also my wallet is in the same boat, I ended up getting the Razer Mamba Tournament Edition - Chroma so now I have the razer chroma setup where my mouse, mousepad, and keyboard all light up. Right now I have my wallpaper with a Deus Ex wallpaper and my chroma colors set to a nice yellow.

i have the kraken headset, naga epic, and blackwiddow all in chroma but i just have them set to cycle. i turned on the rainbow effect and man did that hurt my eyes. looked like the keyboard was moving. ill probably start setting up color scheme for different games and have the cycle for normal computer functions. or maybe ill find a color i really like. But i have to say i like cycle.
