The comfort curve would never be used on a gaming keyboard. Gamers would avoid it because of the fact they'd have to learn how to reposition their hands to access all the correct buttons.

So? I've learned how to play on a natural keyboard in pretty short time.

I think it's a nice keyboard. I think it looks better than the G15, but that's just me. Will be waiting for this and probably I will get one. Is this released yet?

I see there are some missing features, such as a Windows Key disabler and a button to switch off the backlight.

Microsoft Reclusa Gaming Keyboard

I bought this keyboard few weeks ago.

I tested on windows vista and XP and I have same problem.

Problem is keyboard in some combinations of buttons don’t want respond if I keep 2 buttons and want to press 3rd one.

Example - If I press "RIGHT ARROW"+"UP ARROW" and I press "0" (num zero) = Zero won’t work

- If I press "~"(grave)+"A" I can’t press any other button (I can but it won’t work ofc)

- W+S = you can’t press Q button

I found this problem in few games that I am playing but you can test it in TXT doc... Just open txt doc and try those combos

For example press W+S in same time and then press Q,you will see that Q letter will not write down on TXT document.

So if you have Microsoft Reclusa Gaming Keyboard and don’t have those problems please confirm.

I bought this keyboard so I can play normally games and skip problems with key support which my old one (5e) keyboard had.

And then I bought keyboard which have name GAMING and it is NOT (light is cool, keys are soft and its good for typing but they should call this one Multimedia keyboard not GAMING!)

Hmm. Crazy curves for comfort? Looks too big. Isn't a great keyboard one that is simply robust and that allows multiple keys being pressed?

Looks more like a gadget than a utility thing. The same goes for the Logitech ones with those useless LCD displays. I guess if they say "Gamer's keyboard" then Gamers must have them :ninja:

Why do people keep saying its ugly? its a keyboard, its not used to pick up girls or guys, you dont take it to the bar or out on dates with you. Its a keyboard, its used to type and play pc games, if it does that, who gives a sh&* what it looks like. Then again most people nowadays pick an os thats pretty and games only on graphics so I typed all this for nothing.

I bet you typed all of that on an ugly keyboard.

Oh yeah? Well I bet you typed all of that on your momma's face!!

As for the keyboard, it looks fine to me. What do you expect? How good could it look? It's a f^cking keyboard. Some of you may sit there, staring at your keyboards for hours on end, but I sure as hell don't ;)

If you are die-hard gamer, gaming and wireless is a no-go. Most if not all gaming attributes are wired.

If you're a die hard gamer, you can play on a keyboard made out of splintered wood and you'll still "own".

That is not true and that is not point of this post either.

Only thing about HC gamer should care is to have keyboard with full multiple keys support - look,lights and all others extras are not necessary @ all.

About Microsoft Reclusa Gaming Keyboard, I told already in my post that I have some issues with some combinations of keys (multiple keys), and I would like to some 1 help me or @ least tell me does any 1 else have those problems what I posted on page2 of this topic.

Because If all others ppl with Microsoft Reclusa Gaming Keyboard have same problems (as I do), with some combinations of keys then you can’t call this keyboard gaming (@ least till Microsoft fix this issues) and just buy Logitech instead and HF.

If your "skill" (chuckle) is dependent on the hardware you use, you aren't much of a gamer.

Ah but then I guess there are still people who think CS/Quake are the ultimate display of "ubar p00n4g3" whilst truly skill requiring games like Tribes are never used in competitions. Perhaps they're simply too complicated for some people.

If I were to pick up a Microsoft keyboard, it'd be this:

I already did....it's garbage!

I exchanged it for a SAITEK eclipse.

LOL!

"Reclusa"? THAT is the name? As in . . . "recluse." As in, living in your parents' basement playing WoW 24/7 on your tricked-out keyboard?

Yeah, that's about right.

I honestly think this is what they were going for...

I see you ar eon a keyboard where it's very different to use the following keys in combination

o n e and a t among others, ith these serius problems making you replace these words with 1 and @ it makes you look a bit like an anoying leet wannabe kid, so I suggest you get a new keyboard so you can write properly.

As for wired vs wireless... yeas, many years ago, wrieless wasn't that good for gaming. today... it really doesn't matter, the only place there's any real diffrerence between wired and FastRF wireless devices(notice Id id not say BT device) is in the head og thegamers, and is called a placebo effect. They believe there's a delay, so there is a delay.

^^^I like how people like this don't seem to realize that you press the exact same amount of keys to get '@' as you do 'at'. You aren't saving any time (not that you would be if you were pressing less keys) and you don't look cool.

Well I am sorry because I use to use those shortcuts and plus my English suck, wasn’t my attention to give you a reason to boost your amount of posts on this forum.

I don’t get it, if you can help then help give some tip or an advice, don’t post something which don’t have any connection with this TOPIC.

I only posted here because I have problem with Microsoft Reclusa Gaming Keyboard, and don’t think so it will be sorted if you guys using this topic to boost your number of posts on this forum.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      By snowy owl · Posted

      I'm still on Windows 10 22H2 because I didn't want to deal with all the issues in Windows 11, so I waited almost a week before installing the latest Patch Tuesday update (KB5094127), I went ahead and did it, and it was a huge mistake—ever since then, my File Explorer has seen a performance drop of about 30% when transferring large files... Once again, Microsoft has outdone itself! This update cannot be uninstalled, either through the Control Panel (via Settings) or by accessing Advanced Startup Options. The only possible alternative would be to use system restore points, but I’d have to reinstall all app and driver updates (and there’s no guarantee it would work). Or there’s the “nuclear option” of a in-place repair without losing files or apps, but even then, all my customizations would be lost! Microsoft just can’t help but mess everything up! Way to go, Microsoft! But I still don’t want your c****y Windows 11!
    • Microsoft: Windows 11 could finally solve a major issue across AMD, Nvidia, and Intel GPUs

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Microsoft: Windows 11 could finally solve a major issue across AMD, Nvidia, and Intel GPUs by Sayan Sen While Microsoft has been trying to improve it, Windows 11 is definitely not flawless, as even today some issues are taking a year to publicly acknowledge. However, one area of trouble that may finally see much better results soon is graphics driver crashes. Work on graphics driver timeouts, also called Timeout and Detection Recovery (TDR), is not new as the latest WDDM 3.2 also has specific improvements regarding it. Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM) version 3.2 is supported on Windows 11 24H2 and 25H2. However, with the upcoming version 26H2, TDR crash diagnosis could go to the next level as Microsoft is introducing a new DirectX 12 API feature called "DirectX Dump Files". Similar to how system memory dump files work when a system crashes or freezes or encounters any such major issue, DirectX Dump Files (DDF) will essentially record a snapshot of the GPU execution right at the moment a graphics-related crash or hang or freeze occurs, so that developers can better understand and diagnoze these TDR and timeout detection errors. The dump will be available as a .dxdmp file for analysis and it will be a comprehensive dump file generated with detailed insights about the hardware, drivers, Windows, as well as the affected application. This should be another welcome change in this department. Earlier at GDC 2026, when the technology was first debuted, Microsoft had shared more details regarding it. The company had explained how DDF is designed to gather data from every layer of the graphics stack into a single file, eliminating the need for developers to manually correlate logs from multiple tools. As mentioned above, the dump can contain a lot of useful details like GPU hardware state information such as register values, shader program counters, page fault virtual addresses, shader memory data, and command buffers. Alongside that, it also captures DirectX runtime and kernel information, including D3D objects, pipeline state objects, device error data, adapter details, and CPU call stacks. Microsoft says the feature has been built around two primary use cases: retail device removals and local device removals. The former allows developers to collect crash information from end users' systems in the field, while the latter helps QA teams and developers investigate issues on test machines. Developers will also be able to include up to 2 MB of custom application data through new D3D12 APIs, providing additional context for troubleshooting. In addition, Microsoft is introducing three dump collection modes ranging from zero-overhead capture, which has no runtime performance impact on supported hardware, to higher-detail modes that collect more vendor-specific debugging data. On compatible Tier 2 hardware, zero-overhead dumps will be enabled by default, meaning developers may begin receiving useful crash diagnostics without making any code changes. The table below explains the three tiers: Tier Description NO_OVERHEAD Enables crash capture with no runtime cost and is suitable for broad deployment MEDIUM_OVERHEAD Provides a balance, capturing additional diagnostic data with moderate impact HIGH_OVERHEAD Collects the most detailed GPU and driver state available, enabling deeper investigation at the cost of higher runtime overhead In terms of availability, the company expects broader release to be around the fall of 2026, which should be right around the time when Windows 11 version 26H2 lands. Right now, DirectX Dump Files are available as a preview and currently, only AMD has the compatible AgilitySDK Developer Preview driver version 26.10.07.02. You can find the official announcement post here on Microsoft's website.
