The shortcomings:
The pressure point of the regular keys is very soft and dull, which I personally do not like so much. Even if one keeps keys longer, it can happen that one suddenly stops in play to run, there's the hold difficult to estimate how much you have to press the button.
Although the keyboard requires two (!) USB ports, it comes with no known additional functionalities such as headset port, display, or USB ports, therefore.
The tilt feet on the keyboard back in the act Verlgeich other processing carelessly. Overall, the Anansi knows only "lying flat" or "set". In the lying state Anansi wobbles with me also and is not plan on.
Particularly unpleasant falls but the so-called. "Ghosting" on, the fights, the Anansi. This means that the simultaneous operation of more than two keys means that certain third buttons do not respond. Razer advertise here with a "ghosting optimized Matrix", but limited after extensive testing on the numeric keypad and the cluster to WASD. Console emulation in which two players play on the same keyboard, or players who are playing in another key clusters (such as TFGH, RDFG or ZGHJ), are here have problems. In the clusters just mentioned example, it is not possible to run simultaneously to front right and thereby perform an action with the little finger.
This is particularly unfortunate because modern keyboards have these problems already from the lower middle price segment no longer.
My Conclusion:
The keyboard is good, though not perfect. Why I buy the Razer Anansi? The biggest purchase decision should the many additional buttons for the thumb and on the left side be because the keyboard has otherwise nothing earth-shattering to offer. In general, the keyboard solves a problem that especially players in MMOs: to have the right key ready for every situation, without having to click anything in SpielUI (often referred to as Mofifikator within the meaning of, for example "SHIFT + 3"). WASD players miss achievable keys to her left, but achieve both SHIFT and CTRL very good. Players of other clusters often reach any of the CTRL, SHIFT and ALT keys particularly well, or ALT. But they have more keys in direct accessibility.
In my estimation, the benefits WASD players is minimal, since the left side keys can only be reached by contortions of the hand and the accessibility of SHIFT and CTRL allows enough options. Players of other clusters, however addressed with thumb buttons easily accessible, to offset the lack of accessibility of SHIFT and CTRL. Here in turn, makes the above-mentioned "ghosting" However problems. If this problem persists, the keyboard would be the perfect choice for this "non-conformists".
Until then, however, there is no reason the Anansi gaming keyboard another in this price range is preferable. Unless you wanted to anyway set Ambilight on the desk.
