inland 70117 Black USB Wired Gaming Keyboard

Pros: Keyboard. Does what it needs to do.

Cons: Not mechanical. And the enter key was messing me up for a few days. The orange is kinda silly.

Other Thoughts: Could get some LEDs on the keys for back lighting. I like to game in the dark.

Pros: It's a really great budget keyboard. I love the feeling of the keys and it has a very great click for a membrane keyboard. It works pretty great and the keys are spaced very evenly.

* Great feel and nice click sound
* Stays clean pretty well compared to my old keyboard.
* Looks great on a desk.
* The backspace key isn't absurdly small like on other keyboards in it's price range.
* Has a second windows key which is great for Arma 2 OA ACE mod because it uses that key as an interaction key.

Cons: * The enter key is oddly shaped compared to my old keyboard.
* The multimedia keys don't work, maybe a driver issue but I can't find official drivers except for the generic ones from Microsoft.

Other Thoughts: I would really have no problems with this keyboard except for the fact that the multimedia keys aren't working which is a shame, I can live with it though.

Pros: - Quiet Keys
- Enhanced WASD and arrow keys, makes it fun for gaming plus every seems to think I have some fancy keyboard specialized for gaming now. It's fun, no real functional purpose though, unless you have never played a game before and struggle moving around.
- No Drivers (both a pro and a con), works right out of box as a usb keyboard, including the media keys (if using windows 7 or 8)
- Really nice feel of the palm rest
- Overall the keyboard quality seems like it will last
- includes basic media keys on top (play, pause, forward, back, volume up, down, mute)
- Keys all have a really rough texture. I like this, but some might hate it. I would liken it to a really fine spackle texture like on walls in most houses. I wouldn't say this enhances grip, but i like the feel.

- When you click a key it types that letter on the screen

Cons: My only con, is that since they went through the effort to make special keys for the WASD for gaming. I wish the keys were not only different colors, but different textures. The orange is cool, but only useful if looking at your hands while playing. I game, so I know where my fingers go without looking 99% of the time, but every once and a while your fingers get off and you end up dying or losing. I wish the WASD keys were not only a different color, but a different texture like really rough sandpaper-y or something. That way it was recognizable without looking at the keyboard.

Also, there are no programmable keys like most gaming keyboards. Also no drivers to think of that would include this type of feature.

The backslash key or horizontal bar key is moved down next to the double quote " key. Not sure why this is, but the enter key is now really tall and skinny instead of being extra long like on most keyboards. This means that I press the backslash key a lot when I mean to press enter.

Other Thoughts: This is a great keyboard for the price. For $15 it sure beats out the standard HP or Dell keyboards that compete with this pricepoint. As far as gaming, this isn't really a gaming keyboard. It is just a standard keyboard with different colored keys on the arrow and WASD keys. If they made those keys a different texture, then it would be more like a gaming keyboard. If they added a few of the flimsy media buttons on the side and included drivers to program those to be gaming function keys then that would also make it more of a gaming keyboard.

However, if you are starting gaming, this keyboard is tougher than most other $15 keyboards and the colored keys are kind of fun for an early gamer. You will quickly end up upgrading, but this is great for a first computer build or gaming set up. I would even buy this keyboard over an HP or DELL standard keyboard just because it is a little tougher, otherwise when it comes down to it, this is just a basic plug-and-play USB keyboard.

Pros: colored buttons are cool, and it works fine for now. Though I will be buying a more high quality keyboard soon.

Cons: very light, feels cheap. they should have bundled the mouse with the keyboard for 20 bucks. not much of a "gaming" keyboard

Pros: -Great comfortable fee
-Very affordable
-Awesome color difference for common gaming controls.

Cons: None

Pros: -Comfortable
-Nice texture on keys
-Works great for longer sessions

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: Bought this elsewhere, got a good deal. This is my first "gaming keyboard". Well worth the money I spent, I like the texture the keys have, seems to respond well enough. And I didn't spend a fortune.

Pros: Great price, nice button feel, decent features, colored wasd and arrow keys, waterproof (seriously). My 5 year old just poured a can of Sprite on it so we took it up to the sink, sprayed it with water, dried it for a few hours, and its still perfect. I snickered when it showed up and the box said waterproof. Now I'm so glad it was.

Cons: Very light, feels just a little cheep (understandable for the price). Over all not much to complain about.

Other Thoughts: You always take a gamble on cheap parts but this one is worth it. Its a really good replacement for a standard "included" keyboard.

Pros: it has multimedia keys, it's mechanical, and it's cheap

Cons: it's pretty flimsy. the multimedia keys "jiggle" like a pencil in a cup. after being plugged in for a few hours it "disconnected" but the light that doesn't turn off was still on. tried every USB port and still nothing. you also have to have the keyboard working and plugged in to install the drivers. mine came with 2 rubber
A keys, instead of an A and a W but whatever. the backspace is small, but you can also deal with that. the problem is, it's a piece of junk. I've had some good Rosewill stuff, but this isn't one of them.

Other Thoughts: DO NOT let the price tag fool you into buying this. return shipping is half the price of the board.

Pros: -WASD and arrow keys are colored, nice for when non-PC gamer friends come over.
-Very responsive and quick
-A very nice finish on the edges of the keyboard

Cons: -The keys have a very weird texture to them, it's not much of an issue, but it takes some getting used to.
-The keys also have a very low resistance to a press
-The only thing "gaming" about it that I can see is that the WASD and arrow keys are colored.

Other Thoughts: If you're considering buying this, I don't really recommend it. You can get a much better keyboard for gaming from a non-gaming keyboard.
