Uglyduckling81 I would have to disagree completely with your assessment of Razer's products. Yes, they are a little pricey, but you do get what you pay for. I have several gaming peripherals made by Razer as well as their gaming Tablet (Razer Edge Pro) from 2013 which is now almost 3 years old (and up until this year there has not been a higher performing tablet on the market period, and the only one with better stats today is almost twice the price I paid!). I have never once had anything made by Razer fail for any reason especially poor quality or design. Razer has a niche which is gamers who value cutting edge equipment to keep them competitive, and at the same time the portability to take that equipment on the road. Have you ever lugged around a 12 pound gaming laptop on a road trip? Those things are monsters!! They don't feel that heavy when you first pick them up, but pack them through an airport, or in and out of several hotels and you'll quickly discover they are only slightly more portable than their desktop counterparts. Contrast that with the Razer Blade Pro which looks amazing (Alienware is copying their styling now I've noticed), has way better gaming functionality when it comes to keyboard and user interface, and weighs only 6 pounds (HALF of what the other companies' versions weigh)!! Add to that the fact that they are very slim (no thicker than a dime standing up!) so they don't take up your whole backpack or suitcase! And if you ever used Razer's keyboards or mice, you'd probably never go back (I know I won't!).
So in summary, if you are on a tight budget and need something highly upgradable for cheap, you can get by without all the fancy styling because you have no friends to impress, and you are a hermit and you never go anywhere with thoughts of being able to play video games, then you are correct: Razer is not the company for you. If, however, you are like me and you travel a lot, you like the extra stuff that gives you a slight unfair advantage over the people you game with, you enjoy gamer styling so the look of your rig is that finishing touch that completes the package, and you HATE being stuck with nothing to do while traveling, there really is no better company than Razer for your computer gear. As for the quality, I've NEVER had a single piece of Razer gear break on me EVER, and it ALWAYS works right. (And that's more than I can say for any other tech company's equipment I've used!)
