Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Razer BattleLight for Razer Tarantula Gaming Keyboard
Customer Review: Easy Setup, Easy Frags
Summary: 5 Stars
The BattleLight is a great accessory for the Tarantula. I expected to run into some obstacles to get things to work correctly, as you do with many add-ons, but the BattleLight was as plug-and-play as you get. I've only gotten to use it for the past few days, but so far its a great help and I'm excited to reap the benefits for a long time. Stop fumbling around in dark areas and start racking up more frags!Customer Review: Handy, and Looks cool

Looks pretty cool (especially when other hardware match)
Helpful, dont need bright lightson to see keys, this way gaming or whatever you do becomes gets No Reflection or blurs,etc..

Think carefully on this one--it seems like a neat idea to bathe your keyboard in blue light, particularly if yours isn't backlit. But...does it really do you any good? I'm a "cheating" typist--I'm lazy about home keys and often have to look down at my hands to double-check I'm not fadkjlajling all over the place. I love gaming in the dark--the better to be immersed in the full glow of the screen.
Looking at the Razer BattleLight, all I can see is a distraction. Because it's a bulb, and it's directly under your eyes, you have a glowing oval continuously in your peripheral vision (yes, even with the hood). The darker you want the room (which is why you wanted to light your keyboard, right?) the more you're going to find this little neon tube demanding your attention in the lower part of your vision.
I've got a backlit keyboard now, but I still stick with my preferred way to see the keys and still game in the dark: I have a desk lamp with an adjustable dimmer, turned down low and out of my field of vision. A little bit of ambient light goes a long way. :)
Customer Review: Not great but OK

There was a delay in the production of the Razer BattleLight, it wasn't originally available when the Tarantula Keyboard came out (although the battlelight was included in all the promotional photos for the keyboard). The light isn't bright enough to fully illuminate the keyboard but it's OK for secondary lighting in a dim (not dark) room.Customer Review: Not worth it...
Summary: 2 Stars
When I got the tarantula keyboard, one of the reasons was because the accessories that could be added to it. At the time I bought the keyboard I thought that the accessories had already been released but to my dismay they were not (bout 3 months ago) So when i found out the BattleLight accessory had been released I was quite excited. So on to the pros and cons...
Pros:
-"oooo a pretty blue light"
-Button to turn light on and off
-Adjustable head (up, down, turn left, turn right)
Cons:
-Only illuminates the middle of the keyboard! (From about to the "t" to "Delete", which is about the length of the light)
-Shows you even in the dark how much this keyboard collects dust..
-A bit distracting when gaming.
In my opinion, the BattleLight is just an eye catch and not worth the money. If you really want light, you would be better off getting a keyboard with illuminated keys but then again the Tarantula is quite an awesome keyboard. I just wish the keys were illuminated.
