Pros: Still better than your run of the mill keyboard.
Cons: -Terrible revision of a formerly great keyboard -Now has the awful old DOS style key layout with the big RETURN key, tiny backspace and tiny backslash in upper row. -Keycap material has been cheapened from the previous version -Windows key too big; CTL, ALT and spacebar shrunk to fit it -Enermax is introducing a new top end model. Perhaps they've cheapened the Aurora to protect/promote it? -You probably won't like it. I sure didn't.
Other Thoughts: Enermax more or less ruined the original Aurora (KB002) when they created the new revision (KB007, or the Aurora "Premium.")
It now has the terrible old layout that some may remember from the DOS WordPerfect era, with the enlarged "Return" style [ENTER] key, the backlash key shrunk and stuck in the upper row, and the backspace key reduced to the size of a normal letter keycap (!!!) to fit it.
For most touch-typists or gamers, it's going to be a no-go. Keys aren't where you expect them to be, and you'll be hitting [ENTER] when you want [ \ ]. Enermax also enlarged the [WINDOWS] key at the expense of the [CTL] [ALT] and the spacebar,so the layout feels slightly 'off' there too. And who needs a bigger windows key?
Enermax is introducing a new top end KB, Acrylux,that appears to have the same arrangement as the old vKB002 Aurora. I think it's pretty obvious what's happening here: they've crappified the Aurora to force everyone who wants the standard layout to buy Acrylux.

Good Quality Keyboard
Reviewed By: blschuser on 1/9/2010
Tech Level: high - Ownership: 1 month to 1 year
This user purchased this item from Newegg
Pros: Very well constructed, quite heavy so it doesn't move, includes built in USB hub, short keystroke similar to a laptop
Cons: The backspace key is really small and in an awkward position so it takes getting used to.
Other Thoughts: I really like this keyboard and definetly recommed it, and it works really good if you want a simple keyboard even for gaming.

Aurora 3 year review
Reviewed By: Unoid on 12/15/2009
Tech Level: high - Ownership: more than 1 year
Pros: Sleek, laptop like keyboard made of aluminum. My favorite keyboard yet!
Cons: Rubber key spring mechanism is flawed. Random keys may stop springing back. 3 year old keyboard and my F key failed (had to replace the rubber with an unused key) and my space bar is now starting to get sluggish and sticky.
Other Thoughts: Enermax should include a 5pack of rubber springs. Marginal cost is very small yet would increase the products life adn customer retention.
