Way better than my RAZER KRAKEN PRO
926041
I just wanted to say that I highly recommend this headset for a bass rich surround sound experience. I mainly use this headset for PC gaming and movie watching and I have not been disappointed by their performance yet. Obviously since this is a headset with a mic, the focus on the product would not be solely with the audio quality of the headset but the responsiveness and clarity of the microphone as well and neither parts are lacking in quality. Let me tell you now that this headset is EXTREMELY comfortable. I also own the RAZER KRAKEN PRO, and to be honest after using both for a while, I prefer these MUCH MORE over the "name brand". In my personal opinion, the coolest functional feature on this headset is the internal sub woofer which vibrates the headset on bass heavy sounds, which I found awesome. The braided wire was of a high quality and the in-line controller was extremely convenient if I ever needed to turn off the microphone or sub-woofer (vibration). You can also control the volume from the controller which is helpful. Aesthetically speaking, they look pretty awesome. The red LED lights that illuminate the logo are a nice touch, as well as the LED at the tip of the microphone which turns on and off depending on whether it's in use. The price for this model is also extremely reasonable considering all of the features present. It blows my RAZER headset out of the water. Go ahead and buy it, you'll be pretty happy, promise.

I used the razer deathadder for a year before buying this mouse. I wish I would of swapped to this one more quickly because it is far superior in performance and a cheaper price.

I have both these and the steelseries Siberia v2s in frost blue. They're both around the same price on here. The Siberia v2s beat the kraken pros in almost every way. They sound better, more comfortable, they have an inline volume control. The only redeeming quality of these are the colour. If you're looking for a headset in this price range 100% go with the v2s.

Perfect so far, except for a few small tiny issues. (minor corrections to my information)

I have a Razer 2016 1060 and I bought this as a cheaper alternative to the Razer Core.

Although currently I've heard complaints the bandwidth is halved on the system, some of the reviewers seem to be posting computers where the Thunderbolt 3 connections are low end 4x PCI-e lanes. 16x is preferred, or else your bandwidth is gimped from the get go.

Quiet system. It's right behind my monitor and it's really quiet. Much quieter than the cooling system in the Razer by itself.

When plugged the Razer fans never spin up faster than when running in quiet mode.

Only issues I've come across was the Gaming Box not always starting up when plugged in to an already running laptop. A restart usually fixes it.

This keyboard was still a little louder than i would have liked so I added dampeners and it sounds much better.  I really like the feel from this keyboard.  I didn't know how much i didn't like regular keyboards until i began to use this one with regularity.

The software is really cool and if you couldn't figure it out in 10 minutes on your own the tech world may not be for you.  I thought the software was very easy to understand and I have no problems showing off the different patterns and lighting effects it can do when my other gamer friends are over.  The typing style is my favorite, where it lights up the keys u press as you type.  I use mostly a solid color of blue to match the rest of my set up.  I like the texture on the space bar too!

My daughter loves to sit on my lap and press the key to turn the lights on and through the brightness settings and I am thankful this does not interrupt use of the keyboard.

Better than the Ortz chatpad i have http://www.amazon.com/Ortz%C2%AE-PS4-Wireless-Mini-Bluetooth-Keyboard/dp/B00UMF35MS/ref=sr_1_1?s=videogames&ie=UTF8&qid=1433475211&sr=1-1&keywords=ortz+ps4+chatpad which is the same pad sold under different names here.  The keys on this one don't feel spongy and have way less travel with a nice firm click, making it much easier to type on.  This one has keys that light up blue and unlike the other pad which only has the 3.5mm plug, this one has an ext plug as well.  I though the lip over the PS button was going to interfere but pressing the button feels fine.  There's a 3 position power switch and one position allows the chatpad to act like a battery pack for the controller, extending the battery life.  Not to mention this one is lighter.  The only 2 negatives is there is a very, very very, slight give in the overall fit.  Just a hair though.  The Ortz went on very tight and felt super solid.  The other is that, at least for pc use like I'm using it, accessing some symbols requires pressing the FN key closest to the it so it's an annoying finger stretch.

month after update:
As another person said, the controller wakes up quick. around a second, which is really appreciated. Also, I was expecting to charge it daily like the other pad, but was pleased to find out that the battery lasts, and lasts.  I've been playing on and off and web browsing, since I use the DS4's trackpad and this as my mouse and keyboard for my HTPC and noticed that just recently the backlight started blinking indicating it was low on juice.  I'm not sure if it charges with the DS4 via the ext port, but I'm happy either way that it's been so reliable.

This bundle is amazing! It includes both RAZER DeathStalker Essential keyboard and RAZER Abyssus Mouse.

 RAZER DeathStalker Essential keyboard
PROS:
1. Key feedback, the keys aren't quite as pronounced in their click feel as they would on a mechanical, however, it's a twice as powerful as the Apple keyboards.
2. Although was concerned that they won't give a confident click back like a mechanical keyboard, this chicklet key type is similar to keyboard on my Macbook Pro. Since I'm using my Macbook Pro as my daily, school and work related, I love it because I get used to it.
3. Textured wrist rest and rubber feet are perfect for my liking. Again, I am used to typing with my MBP, so this is quite similar to what I use daily and it's a beast.
4. Keys are very responsive. It might take a little bit of getting used to the style of keys. I have always used keyboards with thick keys. The keys on this one are slim, and very low to the ground if you catch my meaning.

CONS:
1. The plastic material is certainly the kind that will start to get stains over time from natural body oils. It's very susceptible to get oil on fingers. I don't really care about this, but for someone who might, watch out.
2. No dedicated media keys. Thanks to the excellent lighting it's easy to see which keys to press for media needs, but I think having no dedicated media keys on a keyboard like this is a drawback.

For my tastes and needs, I really like this keyboard. It is by no means perfect and most certainly not for everyone. It's a great keyboard and I'm more than willing to make a rating on the first day I've had it. It feels great, looks great and works great.

 RAZER Abyssus Mouse
PROS:
1. I really like this mouse, it's wonderful. I love the feel, and I don't necessarily like that it's always lit up, it would be nice if I could turn down or turn off the lights. The mouse feels good in my hand and the shape is good. I love razer mouse sleek, sharp, and simple designs.
2. Fast and responsive, a few different DPI settings to accommodate many different users.
3. Scrolling is silent and smooth with indentation to not infinitely spin. Cord is long enough to reach most uses and overall size of mouse is easy to bring around while traveling.

CONS:
1. Limited DPI settings, which for the average person won't be an issue. The mouse came out of the box set at 1,800 DPI, which for the average person is where they're gonna need it. For the more avid gamer however this mouse's limited DPI might be an issue.
2. I cant turn off the blue light, which flashes my eyes. It's a bit of annoyance, but I can live with it.

This bundle is perfect fit if you're an average user wanting to get some nice looking peripherals, this is the way to go. Aesthetically it's simple yet clean and pleasing to the eye. Overall it's a bundle that I would highly recommend to a friend. I guess this means I'm part of the Razer cult now :)
Received this product at a discount for my fair and honest review.

I have to admit I was VERY reluctant to get this mouse because of the price. I have always used Razer Mice, but have replaced 2 Deathadders in the past 2 years because they start double clicking on their own.  I decided I would give this one a try and boy was I suprised. Mouse feels good, yes its plastic but still has a very good feel. Its about the same size as the deathadder was, braided cord looks great, lights looks great, and weights make for easy adjustment. Love the ability to change the sensitivity on the fly without having to install some 3rd party software.. No software for this mouse it just works, and besides 99% of gamers adjust our sensitivity inside the individual games and not using some software that runs all the time and bloats up your system.

Definitely recommend it!

We have purchased Turtle Beach before and they don't compare to the Razer Krakens.  My son got a pair, (my daughter had the Turtle Beach) and for Christmas she asked for the Razer Kraken - the sound is detailed and all-surround - so much so my kids can't hear me talking to them.  So, of course, kids will love these.  We had a problem with the jack on one pair, and they were replaced (within the warranty period) in a heartbeat.  Just seamless on their customer service through Amazon.  These are excellent quality and durable for the treatment teenagers can dish out.  Even Best Buy employees recommend anything Razer over the competition and their recommendation is truthful.

I've been a Logitech and Razor fan for as long as they've been on the gaming peripheral scene. I've had a few SteelSeries gaming mice and while they were fine, they never really impressed me. I'm very pleased to say that I no longer think of SteelSeries as a blip on the radar of gaming peripherals.

The Apex is smooth and sleek and has a high quality feel right out of the box. I could tell immediately that this keyboard is made with gamers in mind and few details were missed. Features of the Apex that I've not seen in other gaming keyboards include the raised F and macro keys. May not seem like a big deal, but most keyboards simply separate these rows of keys from the general keys, making the reach require to hit them longer. Having small female hands, this has always been an issue for me. I don't use F keys for this very reason, and rely on other peripherals to make up for it. With the Apex, the keys are in close proximity to the general keys but are very easy to tell apart just by feeling them thanks to the raised setting. I can't express how much I love this! For people with small hands and everyone else, this is a very nice addition and allows the keyboard to maintain a smaller profile than many other gaming keyboards.

Your standard gaming keyboard fare is also here. Illuminated keys return, with a twist. You can now set different colors to different regions. I haven't yet found a real use for this, but it is fun to set up and pretty to look at! I suppose one could visually separate macro sets with colors but I don't personally have a need for that. We also have the windows key lock, which is pretty standard on gaming keyboards now, media control keys, and anti-ghosting, all of which it does well.

My only gripe here is the lack of USB ports on the keyboard. I know it's not a big deal to some but it is to a gamer whose computer is housed in a cabinet or other such setup that make access to the USB ports on the back of the PC a pain. This is my case, and as I'm switching peripherals often, I love the easy access that the extra ports provide. I use this keyboard most often with my gaming laptop when I have it plugged into my 50" plasma as this isn't an issue there, but with my desktop, I stick with my tried and true Logitech G19s which sports two USB ports on the back. The features of the Apex make me wish it had these ports so I could use it for everything, but I need those ports!

Overall, it's a fantastic piece of gaming technology and I don't see it being replaced in my setup for a long time. Highly recommended!

I've had a few - this one is the best.  With Cherry MX key switches its a really solid device.  Razer's software works well too (I know it had problems in the the past - but for me it has worked flawlessly).

What can I say? This is one of my first razer products, and my god am I in love.

Metal frame and keys, feels strong yet light. Chroma capability means not only are there millions of colors I can backlight as, there are tons of awesome effects you can set up via razer synapses. My current look is a purple backlight with gentle flickering light blue behind single randomized keys.

After getting this i had to pick up a firefly mousepad, and a deathadder mouse to hook into synapses as well.

UPDATE:
Well, used to be 5 stars, but now its 3. First time trying to get a good cleaning on my keyboard i find that all the keys (shift, space, etc) are 5 pieces to assemble. The mounts for the outsides of the keys (to give it wide stability) are really easy to snap out. and all the keys and brackets are plastic.
I recall ordering a metal keyboard. Not a somewhat metal keyboard

Would Recommend to anyone who is looking for a good gaming keyboard

I upgraded from a RazerDeathadder Chroma and I don't regret it. This mouse feels so much better when playing FPS games like CS:GO or playing Starcraft II and League of Legends. The heavier weight allows me to do more precise movements. The rubber grips on this won't let the mouse slip out of your hand. The side buttons are also easy to use and press on. Simply a mouse that was worth its price.

Pros:
-Great laser sensor
-Great side grips
-Side buttons are easy to use
-Highly customizable
-A good weight for control (for FPS)
-The shape feels great in my big 8 inch long hands

Cons:
-The razer logo on the mouse pulsates and you can't change it to stay static
-A bit pricey

P.S.:I got this mouse at Best Buy for $60 on sale. Still enjoying this great mouse.

First things first, although mice don't normally improve your gaming, even since I got the DeathAdder I felt a good 30% increase of kills in TF2 and PS2. It's like legal cheating!

This mouse opened my eyes to a whole new world and level of gaming. I've been using a 10 year old Dell... thing, and never really felt the beautiful touch of a real mouse. Just holding the DeathAdder feels great- it has a perfect weight to it and a nice grip. Plus, with Chroma enabled, it looks really pretty. The coolest thing, though, is the compatibility with Razer Synapse 2.0. Razer Synapse lets you see heatmaps, or see the dpi, or even change the colors that appear on the mouse (I made mine the colors of my guild). By the way, some other reviewers may say that you will never need 10,000 dpi, but I've used all ranges of dpi- it just depends on what you're doing.

Anyways, all in all it's a great mouse. Now I'm saving up money for the Chroma versions of the Razer Kraken and the BlackWidow.

Got this for $90 on Black Friday and I'm very happy that I did.
Pros:
-Great sound quality.
-Different options for grain and sound direction.
-Volume button.
-Earbud jack that allows you to listen to computer sound through mic while you talk.
-Professional look.
-No awkward driver set up.
-Allows you to change voice volume easily while in game.
-Overall takes any voice over you do to a whole new level.

Con:
-A bit heavy, so you have to really work for it if you want to use a cheap shock mount and stand(I got min to work out and will include a picture).

Buy this if you're looking for a good mic. I bought two cheap mics($40) trying to hold out on buying the Yeti, but ended up getting it anyway.
