Hardware manufacturer Razer doesn't know what it's doing when it comes to hardware and software, it seems, with a mountain of complaints from its customers about defects and RMA issues. Razer has problems with its Blade laptop's trackpad / touchpad, crashing and BSODs, external display connectivity, and more. Its Synapse software also negatively impacts performance, and its customer support hasn't been very supportive of end users.

Razer is great at covering the exact feature-set I want in a product. Fell for it with the Viper Ultimate and got a creaky, grainy button feel and a rubber coating that quickly wore down and felt slimy. Then I bit the bullet with the Barracuda headset, which went straight back. The thing was bulky, hollow, creaky, flimsy, had coil whine, lost audio after idling... I keep telling myself to not fall for it, and then I'm in the market for something, and some Razer product just seems to tick the boxes. NEVER AGAIN!(?)
