    The KB will no doubt feature keys that you have to have a 14" long hand to properly use.

    It'll be a great keyboard, just have some dire ergonomic issues that the company will refuse to ever address.

    And the headset will only fit if you have a head the size of a beachball. But other than that it'll be the best headset out there.

      I have average sized hands, and I used the boomslang very effectively. It was my favorite mouse that I've ever used...just barely edging out my logitech wingman. I found the button placement and shape to be wonderful, and my wife (not a gamer) with smaller hands than me liked the mouse as well.

      I think the problem with the mouse was that most people thought they needed the whole thing to be inside of their hand...not realizing the buttons were lengthy for a reason. They gave you the option of using the mouse as a fingertip mouse (like most mice) or as a palmed mouse supporting almost the entire hand. I went back and forth for a short time, enjoying both methods of holding the mouse, before settling on a mostly fingertip grip.

      Of course, I'm assuming you're talking about the boomslang... It's the only razer product I and most others have any experience with. Overall, I thought it was a great mouse that got a bad rap by a small group of extremely vocal and inflexible users.
