Pros: Great keyboard for what I paid for it, shipping was quick, and the whole package is built very well.
Comes with replacement WASD/Arrow keys+1 random key+ key puller.

Cons: Left Alt key isn't as clicky, may be intentional, but it's annoying when I need to access an alternate menu in a browser/game and don't feel when it clicks down.

Pros: *Made by kingston
*Says hyperx on it
*Grips my kinda semi gloss wood desk
*Can see it lasting years

Cons: NONE!

Pros: Cheap, looks nice, and requires no addition software installation. No wasteful background applications. No keypad on the wrong side of the keyboard, so you can use a separate keypad on the left (since it is frustrating to constantly move from the keypad and mouse).

Cons: Unfortunately, this keyboard does not work until you boot to the operating system. This means you can't use it to access your system BIOS or boot menu. That means you can't dual boot your computer, repair/reinstall your operating system, or other critical operations using this keyboard. Why has nobody reported this issue? I would have never dreamed a keyboard would not have this basic functionality (thus I had to knock off three eggs).

Other Thoughts: A standby button would have been nice (like Fn-F9, Fn-Esc, or Fn-Break) and should be easy to add to the HID descriptor. A firmware update to fix the BIOS issues would be nice, especially for those of us that don't need the N-key roll-over feature. It would also be nice to sell a matching mechanical keypad.

Despite the flaws, I have not yet decided if I will return the keyboard or live with these limitations.

Manufacturer Response:

Dear Customer,

We at Thermaltake would like to apologzie for the inconvenience this has caused.
As you stated, "Does not work until you boot the OS." Does the keyboard even light up during startup? Have you tried a different USB port?
To test the said issue, we have tried 5 different machines and 5 ZX keyboards. Interchanging between them and all have had no issue getting into BIOS.
Please contact our Customer Support team at your earliest convenience to troubleshoot your keyboard.

Pros: 1) Switches feel similar to Cherry Mx Blues.
2) Feel of the board is of quality, has a hefty weight as well.
3) The board does not move around at all on your desk.

Cons: None so far.

Other Thoughts: I have had no issues with this keyboard. It performs as expected and is suited for a minimalist or simply a gamer with limited space. I'm using this keyboard as a backup while my ducky shine is being replaced.

Pros: -Keyboard was nice when it was working
-Kalih switches feel no better or worse than cherry mx

Cons: -The 'o' key on the keyboard stopped working a few months after I got it. It would only register a click about 50% of the time. I removed the keycap and cleaned the switch to no avail.

-Tried to return it and it took them a long time to respond (the only way to return it is through a generic 'contact us' form. You have to wait for them to respond initially THEN send your receipt/ info after) which was over a week total, and they expected me to pay to have it shipped to them.

Pros: For the pros, I consider this gaming keyboard a superb. Why? it is because of its price and its feature which most of gamers are using. It costs less than most gaming keyboards plus its durability feels like it could last its 5 year warranty. Think of this, if you buy this gaming low cost gaming keyboard you will/may have money left and that left over money could be spent on any of what you like. Lets say cooler, mouse, headset etc. All gaming keyboards are basically and technically the same, so to go on with the level of gaming today, this is the best choice.

Cons: For the cons, I think it just lacked a braiding on the cable and thats all nothingelse.

Other Thoughts: I am currently enjoying this keyboard very much. I have started using this since yesterday up until now with no stop because of this haha no joke. Still coping up with the new keyboards. To those who will or planning to buy this, I am telling you, you would not regret it. Trust me. Enjoy!!! :D

Pros: Love the way it sounds, looks and feels.

Cons: The keyboard didn't last a month before the problem began. The backslash button wouldn't stop registering, meaning every search bar or wherever i point my mouse the backslash would keep going and going. So i contacted thermaltake and not only do i have to pay for the defective item to be shipped back but they also want to take 80 bucks out of my bank account in order to RMA this junk. The total comes out to 95 + tax, lovely. First time buying a thermaltake product and my last. Go ahead thermaltake you can not respond to my review below with your PR answer...

Pros: I paid $50.00 from Newegg. At this price it's a great value. Plugged it in to several makes and models of laptop and pc with no issues. I like the smaller form factor. Dimming the backlit keys is simple and so is toggling on/off the Windows key. The folks who gave awful reviews of this keyboard should stick to buying those that cost above $130.00.

Cons: I wish the backlit keys could dim lower than the current lowest setting. (There are 4 levels of brightness.) I don't care for the Blue. It's not as nice as amber or orange in dimmly lit areas.

Pros: The keys are properly responsive, the backlight can be set anywhere between dull and blinding, and the board itself is substantially built.

Cons: There's one LED per key, which means that the lower half of the key is only lit by bled light from the top. Not a deal breaker, but not good design.

The bottom row of keys is recessed farther than the others. This is probably meant to allow you to feel the bottom, but I find it disconcerting because my pinky hangs between the ctrl and shift key often, making the recession too substantial for my comfort.

Key response seems hit and miss. If you're quickly typing a letter, there's little issue. If you want to scroll through a document via the arrow keys you either move bit by bit, or scroll through a line in two seconds. It's not a deal breaker, but the difference between a single depression and holding a key down is pretty wonky.

Other Thoughts: The big question is would I recommend it. Put simply, at the 50 dollar price point I'd recommend it to anyone. At the 80 dollar price point this board is too minimalist for those looking for features, but doesn't make up for the minimalist design with precision controls and a good feel. It's not a bad product, it just doesn't seem to hit that sweet spot between performance and price.

All of this being said, the keyboard is a good product. We're not dealing with cherry switches here, so lifespan is going to be a factor in the eventual adoption of this board. Thermaltake seems to be confident in a 5 year life, and if so this keyboard is reasonable at the 80 dollar price point.

I can say that I'm reasonably happy with this board.
