2 out of 5 eggsNormal keycap was busted.

Pros: Great price, programmable functions. Key cap puller included as well as normal keycaps to replace the orange if you don't like the different feel that those have... however...

Cons: Quite noisy to type on. The orange keys have a little weird of a texture as they are rubber coated, and have a pattern on their surface. Also, one of the replacement normal keycaps was busted, so I can't switch them all out without having an awkward "A" key that is still orange.

5 out of 5 eggsGreat for the price

Pros: I bought it mostly for the looks and the fact that it was super cheap, but ended up loving it. Whoever says you have to have a super expensive mechanical keyboard with cherry mx red switches has never owned this $20 champion.

Cons: The glossy black wrist rest is a fingerprint magnet, but still looks great. And the blue led tribal cross thingy in the center isn't really my style, but its a nice touch I guess?

Other Thoughts: if you are a tightwad like myself, but would still like something aesthetically pleasing, this is the keyboard for you.

3 out of 5 eggsok keyboard

Pros: 1. Really cheap, got it for $12 and a free hdmi cable a while back.

2. The grips on the keys feel great while gaming.

3. Fully programmable

Cons: 1. As mentioned by other reviewers, the spacebar doesn't always work when pressed along the edges. Just adjusted the way I typed.

2. The backspace key is really small and took a while to adjust. This, along with the space bar, make it a tad annoying to use when typing a lot.

3. The LED can't be shutoff. It stays on after shutting down the computer and only turns off if unplugged or the pc is disconnected from power.

Other Thoughts: For $12, this keyboard was pretty awesome. However, I definitely wouldn't buy this for $20-30. The spacebar and backspace issue isn't too much of a problem when gaming, however, when typing for an extended period of time, it took some adjustments.

3 out of 5 eggsNothing Special Here

Pros: The WASD and UP DOWN LEFT RIGHT keys are rubberized and texturized for a nice feel. There are tons of programmable keys and options and all that good stuff.

Cons: Backspace key is tiny. This bugs me more than I ever thought it would.

Other Thoughts: I should have saved my money for a keyboard that lights up, since I like to game at night. Other than the rubberized keys, this keyboard doesn't really offer me anything special in the way of gaming that my old standard USB keyboard did not.

1 out of 5 eggsA Feature-rich Travesty.

Pros: + A lot of features that would be potentially of great use

+ Those rubberized keys definitely feel grippy

+ Technically, macros and media keys work when successfully pressed

+ The included key puller is nice

Cons: - Every. Single. Key. is horrible. You have a 50/50 chance of the keyboard registering a key press if you don't completely 100% forcefully bottom out on each press.

- A super special nomination for the space bar. It is completely useless if you don't hit it DEAD CENTER and even then you need to bottom out. You can press a third of the way into the corners all the way down and it will almost never register. AWFUL! GRR!!

- I'll also never understand why people sacrifice the backspace button for a bigger enter button. It makes absolutely no logical sense, whatsoever. You'd have to be incredibly sloppy to need such a large enter button at the sacrifice of a standard backspace button width.

I'm a mid touch typer, I don't press hard but I also don't press lightly. This keyboard was a disaster for me. I never actually had a problem with cheap keyboards like this one.

- It's also inexplicably glossy. WHY? No matter what, it will streak and show spots unless every point of skin contact is covered with something.

- That Blue LED sure gets annoying incredibly fast. It's far too bright for what it is. You can't turn it off and depending on your motherboard setup, it will stay on when the computer is off.

- The keycap text look to be printed/decal. So expect them to wear down if you can even tolerate this keyboard for that long.

Other Thoughts: If you ever wanted a poster child as to why dome membrane keyboards are loathed, this would be the keyboard to get. Like just about everything Rosewill, you truly never know what you're going to get. I had a scissor switch keyboard from them, it was great for what it was. A mechanical keyboard from them that was ok in quality but got the job done reliably at least.

This? Despite acting like it's a mid-level keyboard always on "sale" it's the cheapest hunk of junk I've ever had the misfortune of using.

Even at $10, this is not a bargain. Avoid this keyboard at all costs since the most frequently used key, the spacebar, is inherently flawed to such an extreme extent.

4 out of 5 eggsGood Product-Works Great!

Pros: The pros of this keyboard is that you get what you pay for. All the keys are customizable. The wasd and arrow keys come with a different feel to them, but if you don't like them, Rosewill sends regular keys to switch them out with the keyboard (comes with box, not separate order).

Cons: Sometimes when you hit the space button while typing (never have this issue while gaming) it won't register.
The wasd and arrow special keys make my fingers sweat and sometimes it's difficult to play because they slide off.

5 out of 5 eggsLove this keyboard

Pros: I love this keyboard. I purchased my first, over a year ago. Its held up very well. I was currently looking for a new and expensive one. But seen that this one was on sale again. So now I have two of these keyboards, and have no regrets. Also the Keys are fully Programmable, so that guy that was complaining about the button layout, etc... is a dork.

Cons: Very Durable
Cheap
Great for gaming
Fully programmable

Other Thoughts: None
