We like:

Small profile; powerful macro software; smooth typing; strong desk grip

We don't like:

Only one spare USB port; dim, non-adjustable LED backlighting; unintuitive software

CNET UK judgement:

Razer's Lycosa gaming keyboard has a lot of promise, and it mostly delivers, thanks to its solid feel, smooth typing and powerful macro capabilities. We wish Razer had paid more attention to the LED lighting, but for strong touch-typing gamers, we think you'll like the Lycosa once you put your hands on it
