Microsoft Reclusa

"While comfortable and responsive, the MS Reclusa gaming keyboard's scant features and numerous flaws don't even come close to justifying the price."

"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. Reclusa doesn't really shine on any area so it's rather hard to recommend this keyboard to anyone. This time the marriage of Microsoft and Razer didn't work out quite as well as it did with the Habu gaming mouse."

"Overall I think the Reclusa is a good keyboard, and I’m pleased that there were no big issues with the 1.00 drivers or firmware. While the eight-command limit on macros is a big disappointment, the Reclusa’s feature set is very strong at its price point, and future driver releases (or, dare I say it, hacks?) may eliminate the macro issue. I think that the Reclusa would be an excellent value for a gamer that doesn’t already have a board with macro key functionality, and would also like a little bling without breaking the bank."

"Overall the Reclusa was a disappointment and is not a keyboard that I would recommend. There are a number of other very good gaming keyboard on the market that do a better job of implementing the features that the Reclusa has, most of which take things a step further and not only do them right but add in other features, like a profile key. Considering the price tag the Reclusa seems like it is a reasonable price, but you are better off spending more and getting a better performing keyboard or saving some money and going with something from a company like Ideazon."
