3 out of 5 eggsNo extra keycaps as advertised.

Pros: Reasonable build quality for the price. Macro keys work as advertised. Not full rollover, but for what it is, it works well.

Cons: - I disliked how separate keycaps were advertised but not provided
- The enter key is an ancient layout. Took some getting used to.

Other Thoughts: Decent for the price, but get your act together with the false advertising.

5 out of 5 eggsGreat keyboard for the money!

Pros: So far I have nothing bad to say about this keyboard...

Cons: No problems have appeared yet.

Other Thoughts: I have not changed any of the keys to the blue ones, nor have I changed key speeds or anything like that. Just using the keyboard for some mild gaming and general internet searching.

4 out of 5 eggsDifficult to get used to

Pros: Repsonds well, keys all work. Cheap gaming keyboard. Anti-Ghosting.

Cons: I knocked off an egg for the layout, but it was partially my fault for diving into a good deal without checking first. The "Enter" key is an important key while gaming and is designed in an "L" shape instead of your standard rectangle. This can be very nagging when trying to type.

It might be a user error while I get used to the keyboard, but it seems to miss the "space key while typing.

Other Thoughts: Overall, good keyboard for the price if you are looking for anti-ghosting. If you are looking for a standard layout, don't buy it. If you do, it will take some getting used to.

2 out of 5 eggsNot worth it

Pros: Cheap
Not 10 keyless
Macro buttons

Cons: If you are a regular home-row typist, this is 100% not the keyboard for you. The detail in the exact middle of the thin wrist rest puts your hand at an awkward angle while typing.
The swappable keys and key puller are NOT included and are available for sale for more than what I paid for the actual keyboard.
This keyboard is also not compatible with a mac.

Other Thoughts: Good if you don't want to use the wrist rest, have a PC and are into cheap keyboards.

1 out of 5 eggsUseless

Pros: It's a mechanical keyboard, it has anti-ghosting. And a gaming button

Cons: The worst keyboard ever in my opinion, good while it lasted and it only lasted about 2 weeks. Was not worth.

4 out of 5 eggs15 Dollars Well Spent

Pros: -Comfortable
-moderately silent
-decent quality overall
-lockable windows key
-appropriately sized keys

Cons: -THE RETURN KEY. THE RETURN KEY THE RETURN KEY.
-Space bar feels unstable when thumb is resting on it.
-small hand rest. SSSMMMAAALLLLLLLL

Other Thoughts: This keyboard is EASILY the wisest short-term investment in my hardware lineup that I've made. I needed a keyboard to mull me over while my other is shipped to me and this thing is making the wait worth nearly every second.

My only grumble about this keyboard is the Return Key. It is the most ridiculously shaped key I've ever touched, and it makes typing counter-intuitive at times, notably more often than not. That is sad, because this keyboard is great.

I have large hands, and spider fingers, so it's really easy for them to stumble and get caught on each other while I'm doing sporadic, non-stop typing. That does not happen to me with this keyboard, at ALL. This keyboard is very silent, (Yeah, I know, membrane, shut up internet) the keys are very well placed and sized, and it just made my experience for my first gaming pc very enjoyable.

The macro keys? They work; there's not much else to it. The keyboard is 15 bucks, and I'm not a hardcore gamer, so I can't say that those things are good or bad, but they do their job.

I notice there are a lot of people complaining about the durability of the cords on this keyboard, and it going out, and I CAN NOT judge that, because I've yet to own this more than a week. But if anything like that happens either before, or after I switch to my preferred keyboard, (This one will still be moderately used) I will be sure to update the review.

Something to mention, and this may ruffle your feathers if you purchased this keyboard personally: Stop complaining that your Keyboard didn't come with Blue Keys and the puller. It doesn't affect the quality of the keyboard; it affects your personal experience shopping with Newegg and Rosewill and you should complain to them, not to your keyboard. It's unfair to this little gem that you would do that.

WOULD I RECOMMEND THIS KEYBOARD TO ANOTHER PERSON??? Yes. Someone who is building a pc for the first time, or between shopping for keyboards should flip their wallet open for this. It's better than going to a nearby store and paying 10 bucks for a chiclet style keyboard; something that will break in 10 minutes. You just can't go wrong with it for the price.

1 out of 5 eggscheap junk

Pros: Only typing this cause i have a different keyboard...

Cons: Compressed working area and smaller keys, strange design.
Poor function of the FN stuff, sloppy.
Dead within 6 months.
Enter key is "gaming" designed and registers poorly.

Other Thoughts: This thing is an insult to fifteen dollar keyboards. If you paid more than that you got took.
