I'm not much of a Razer lifestyle kind of guy, and I don't particularly care if my PC lights up a room with fluorescent lights; it's no secret that Razer products come with the Razer Premium, and I'm not a big fan of that. And yet, for at least the last five years, every dollar I've spent on PC gaming accessories - keyboards, mice, headsets, microphones, etc. - has gone into Razer's coffers.

The reasons for this are simple: ergonomics, performance, and reliability. It all started with the purchase of a relatively inexpensive Razer mouse that was supposed to be a DeathAdder. I ended up liking the feel and used that mouse for years, eventually upgrading to a Basilisk.

And aside from the usual clichés of accessories like accuracy, the one thing that all the Razer devices I've purchased have in common is that they last. This is because I am a middle-aged father and all my money is spent on my ungrateful children. When I buy something, it needs to not only last a few years out of the box, but it also needs to be able to withstand the crap that kids sometimes do. Like when my current DeathAdder goes missing and I find it tucked into the railing like a Goth ornament, I'm not saying that Razer products are indestructible and perfect, but if your life also has the joy of children, the little fingers cause You won't be under the weight of bangs and mishaps.

In short, if you're looking for a specific accessory, the Razer is rarely the cheapest option, but it will always be among the best, and in some categories, the very best (I love my Razer Blade and sometimes think wistfully about the next upgrade (I love my Razer Blade and sometimes think wistfully about the next upgrade).

All that remains is the beautiful Razer Blade. Since I'm still using the previous generation model, I can't offer a detailed personal experience with the Blade 14; for the Blade 14, I'll leave it to PCG's expert hardware team to explain:
