Tt eSPORTS Challenger Prime Backlit Gaming Keyboard

Pros: Arrived within a few days of order and worked right out of the box.
It looks and feels well made and looks actually more stylish in real life than in the pictures. I feared it might be a bit clunky, was not sure about that dial sticking out, but it does not.
The overall look is actually a very low profile and the palm rests make it very comfortable to use; key strokes are quiet and feel solid.
The back-lit lighting looks very cool indeed and I like the fact that both the lettering and the grid are lit up, with some keyboards its either or. To have a choice of 3 colors makes it an even stronger competitor.
Changing between colors is easy and fast.

The braided cord is a nice touch and has plenty pf length.
All the extra programming and shortcut buttons are nice to have and I have not explored nearly all their functions yet.

Cons: I know they can't please everybody, but I really don't care for the purple lighting.
The red and blue look great, but my third choice would have been green. If those would have been the colors this would have been the ultimate keyboard to me.
The dimmer dial at the center is not super responsive for the back lighting.

Other Thoughts: For the price and what this keyboard has to offer this is a no-brainer, if you're on a budget and still want style and solid performance, you can't go wrong here.
Only time will tell about longevity.

Pros: Lighting affect of keyboard is great. The 3 different colors look great. You can even adjust the brightness of the colors or have them flicker or remain solid. Keys are very responsive, haven't noticed any ghosting affect.

Cons: Keys appear a little cheap, the keys appear to be painted so over time the paint on the inside of the keys may come off giving off more light through the keys than just the letters. Mine came out of box with a key or 2 missing a little bit of paint.
When you start your pc the keyboard lights will go through several cycles of being on and off.
Issues with turning the game mode off on keyboard. It appears to be on by default (where the windows key wont work so if you accidentally hit it you wont get pushed to windows screen getting you killed in game.) Most of the time if I dont turn it off BEFORE i enter a game I cant get it to disable thus there is no quick way to get to windows.

Other Thoughts: The purple light looks amazing on this keyboard..especially when you adjust the brightness on it. All in all I don't see any hard issues with it. Fof the price its worth it.

Pros: What I wanted from my keyboard and more. I didn't know I wanted 6 programmable buttons until I got this.

Cons: Limited colour options.

Pros: Nice looking design, decent layout, back lit with 3 colors to choose from and adjustable too (nice lit up dragon logo). Media control keys. Long braided cord, plug and play. Feels good and has some weight to it. Great budget gaming keyboard.

Cons: Not really a cons, but, the very top quick keys, i.e. Macro, internet, mail and home keys, and media keys, (not the Function keys) do not light up. Also, keys are a little close together, I keep hitting CAP lock when trying to hit A. Nothing a little muscle memory retraining won't fix.

Pros: Cost effective way to add a unique look/feel to a budget PC.

Cons: I have large hand's, so the keys are just a little to close together for me, but that isn't a fault of the design. Just mentioning for others with fat fingers.

Other Thoughts: It looks good, It's no G15, but still it seems to be fairly durable for the cost.

Pros: Good price. Nice LED lighting with 3 different colors, brightness control, and strobe affect. Driver comes with UI to program custom key bindings and macros. Usually prefer chiclet keyboard but that's a preference not a con. Actual keyboard functions all work well. Other settings like polling rate and response time are nice.

Cons: I've had it less than 3 months and the paint has already started to chip off on the "W", "A", and "Shift" keys. This is a common problem amongst keyboards that see a lot of gaming use, but not in 3 months. Since this is a gaming keyboard it should have taken a lot longer to wear the paint off these keys. Documentation on how to use the UI is a bit vague and may take the less tech savvy a little time to figure out.

Other Thoughts: I don't give out 5 stars since that requires perfection. So 4 was the most this board would have gotten. Since there were quality issues I gave it 3. Still I would recommend it as a budget item.

Pros: Nice and comfortable keyboard for the price.

Cons: Purchased on 2/11/15 and paint on space bar already coming off to the left of the dash. May want to think about different surface. At 2 weeks of ownership I am a little disappointed.

Pros: It looks like an amazing keyboard and feels great. I will be updating this to a 4 or 5 egg review if the rma goes smoothly

Cons: The space bar didn't work right out of the package. The thing sticks down and only comes back up if you use something to lift if back up yourself. This renders the keyboard useless to me.

Other Thoughts: I will update this review if the rma process goes smoothly. It is very annoying to wait for you're new keyboard to come in and right out of the box its no good!

Pros: confortable, silent typping. nice backlight all around the key / on the keys, gaming mode (disable windows key), feels greatly made (finition)
waterproof, braided, long cable, nice breathing effect, great software (easy to use)
all keys (except F keys and media keys) can be configured for macros or any other key, can switch betwen qwerty and azerty with a simple profile.
amaizing price for the quality and the great amount of customisation options

their is a shining dragon on the wristrest !

Cons: pretty much useless big round wheel that could have been use for volume or something more... usefull

limited to red, blue and purple backlights

nothing else that i can spot so far

Other Thoughts: probably one of the best cost /value gaming keyboard out there

only thing that could upgrade this great product would be an RGB lighting and a better use for the big wheel switch

would defenitively recommand to friends

Pros: Loved the design

Cons: The con has so much. First the light change wont even turn on or switch. The first 8 minutes, the light stopeed working and The circle that changes the brightness popped off.
