My Razer Diamondback lasted about 6 months of heavy use (WoW lol). I wouldn't recommend them unless their quality has improved, which it very well might have. Hm, interesting. A friend has a Razer (dunno which model) for her mac, which she's used a couple of years... And she plays UT, D2 etc... Haven't heard of a breakdown. Anyways, i have a Saitek... Good options for the low price (tho my model isn't produced anymore). I quite possibly just had one with a defect. And I also recommend Saitek, never had any issues with their products. Had one of their keyboards till a glass of water trashed it(it was probably ~3 glass of water it had taken) :wall:
