  1. Microsoft Reclusa

    Reviewer: Metku Mods
    29 August 2007

    Reclusa feels like a 'just another keyboard'. It has a good 'feel' for long typing sessions. It's silent and it has enough shortcut keys which are quite nicely located around the keyboard. It doesn't have any big flaws either but all the small mistakes put together make the whole product look bad. If Reclusa were marketed as a normal keyboard with some extra features and had a bit lower pricetag, it would have been a good product. Now the price doesn't seem justified.... Read more

    The keyboard is a compulsory part of the overall computing experience. We sit in front of our monitor day in, day out and pound on the keys for years without even a thought. In fact, the only time we really do pay attention is when it breaks or stops to function properly. When that happens, you have some options for your new replacement. For the average consumer, a R154 basic keyboard from the local computer store will get the job done. For the more advanced user, there... Read more

  3. Microsoft Reclusa Gaming Keyboard Reviewed (Verdict: Great For the Average Gamer)

    Reviewer: Gizmodo

    Microsoft makes fantastic keyboards, but when it comes to gaming peripherals, Razer’s no slouch either. That’s why this Reclusa, which is a combination of Microsoft and Razer, looks like what you would get if Microsoft were directing a movie, got fired halfway through, and Razer came in and finished it up. It definitely looks and feels like a Microsoft keyboard, except it’s got a blue LED glow and a bunch of macro keys added on. The addition of two USB ports, six... Read more

    Let me start with the pros. Pro: 1) Affordable 2) Blue LED Illumination. 3) Easy to type on. 4) Programmable buttons. 5) Great Software. Now, for the good stuff. Cons: 1) Useless side buttons. They are easy to hit. They put a Eject CD button right next to the enter on the keypad. 2) Blue LED does NOT turn off. There is no option to turn it off. The software doesn't have anything either. 3) Top of the keyboard attracts dust and gets scratched up WAY too easily. 4) Not... Read more

    This keyboard is pretty nice. It installed without a problem. I did not use the drivers on the CD, but went to the website and downloaded the latest drivers. The backlighting is easy on the eyes. The keyboard is wide and you may have to adjust your seating position. I highly recommend this keyboard. Also, this is the best price on the web for this keyboard. Read more

    Keyboard is nice. Clean simple design that I like, compliments my Habu & blue/black case well. The keys are backlit including the letters, Some of the other backlit keyboards I have owned did not have illuminate letters just the backlit keys. One of the things that first cought my attention is the the keyboard is remarkably quiet. Normally I can hear every single key I press, sometimes I don't hear anything at all if very little. No clickity clatter while gaming in low... Read more

    A great keyboard which would look great combined with the Habu mouse. I'm using this keyboard to type this review now and it's very high quality. The really good thing though is behind every key there is a pale blue light, which looks great in the dark, it also has macro keys and quick access keys to the internet and to Window's Media Player, and Window's Mail. It uses twistable volume controls. And has a wrist rest at the bottom of it instead of just putting it on the... Read more
