I do not think that the "special keys working" is anything to get excited about; I have a notebook that is about 4 years old, and its "special keys" (play/pause, stop, vol+, vol-) have been working since at least Intrepid, without any configuration on my part.
It probably simply means that Razer has not changed its special keys' codes for this keyboard, thus letting Ubuntu re-use already known mappings.

What's the problem here? The article just talks about this keyboard and says: "if you buy, it will work out of the box ,but profiles isn't supported". This is moral of the article. Is this a problem? You should be happy, at least you know this keyboard work under linux if you ever want to buy it.

Razer Arctosa Keyboard
Phoronix: Razer Arctosa Keyboard
Razer is a company that began by producing high-end gaming mice like the Copperhead and since that point they have ventured into other gaming products like high-end sound cards, headphones, and mouse pads. Back in 2006 we looked at the Razer Tarantula, but the Arctosa has now succeeded that gaming keyboard. The Razer Arctosa is a moderately priced gaming keyboard that offers macro keys, media keys, 1000Hz Ultrapolling, and other features to entice gamers. The big question though is how well this keyboard with all of its functionality works under Linux.
