4 out of 5 eggsgood enough

Pros: bought it for the green backlight. The color wheel could be a bit faster but i dont change it that much. the keys arent clicky [noisy] at all and have rather a plastic feel to them.. being its pretty quiet, its great for when my better half is sleeping and I'm not. i will also mention that im happy with the key paint toughness. most keyboards have worn thru a few places within a year. This one however is still pristine except for a thumb rubout on the space bar. I can deal with that. I also love the fabric cord. It is "unusually cooperative" compared to most other cords .

Cons: backlights arent bright enough .

5 out of 5 eggsVery nice feel

Pros: It works fine very responsive. A capital works for me. As you can see.

Cons: Manufacturer states never to remove keys. What happens if it gets a little dirty. ?

2 out of 5 eggsNot great...

Pros: Nice weight, nice fit and finish, bight LEDs, nice key press feel, nice braided cloth USB cable

Cons: Scrunched up layout (terrible for gaming my primary buying factor), GHOSTING PROBLEMS!, the worst backspace key of all time.

Other Thoughts: I really wanted to like this keyboard. As I said, the key press feel is great but with the cons listed above, this sucker is going back. Ghosting? Who has time for that jazz... not me. The backspace is the size of the letter keys. Who came up with this? This is a desktop keyboard, not a laptop - real-estate should not be a factor, the board is not that large. LEDs are TOO bright, you can dial them down, but when you do, they become washed out. The problem with the LEDs mainly, is that they illuminate the letters, but ALSO light bleeds out from every other crack and space between the keys and anywhere else there is a joint. This was supposed to replace my failing Razer Lycosa... not even close. Back to the drawing board.

5 out of 5 eggsLove it

Pros: The lights are nice and bright. the keys are not bad at all, just took me a few hours to get used to it. i'm horrible at writing reviews but this is a pretty good keyboard

Cons: It would be awesome if it was spill resistant but you just have to be careful.

Other Thoughts: I was very uncertain about buying this keyboard due to lack of reviews and what not but i took a leap of faith and have been satisfied with it. i absolutely love the keyboard. You get what you pay for if not more.

2 out of 5 eggsNot worth your time

Pros: Looks nice, win lock key

Cons: Tab key has a mind of its own, can't capitalize A's, backspace key is half-sized, rather poorly designed mechanically

Other Thoughts: Almost immediately after connecting the keyboard I was having issues.

When I was trying to enter in my login password, I noticed the cursor kept leaving the entry field. I thought nothing of it and (after some effort) finished my login. I decided to open my browser and tell my friends on social media about the new keyboard I bought, and that's when the problems started to really become apparent.

First off, I quickly found, when trying to type "GTA", could not capitalize my A's. Neither of the shift keys would register the A key. They would register every other key, but not the A key. I mean, the A key works, just not with the shift key.

When hitting the tab key, it seems to be a 50/50 chance on whether the key sticks and starts wildly selecting the links on the page. It's not something stuck under the key. I've used a can of compressed air to clean under it to no avail.

The backspace key is half the size of a regular backspace key. Why? I have no idea. There is no logical reason I can think of for this design choice, either in efficiency or in practicality, and it's really obnoxious to be trying to type and having a bunch of slashes show up where you meant to backspace.

The blue backlight is dim. Very dim. As in I kept turning the knob up and I noticed no change in visibility. Cyan is just as bad. The only really visible color is green, but that's not really my kind of color.

I'm on my way right now to return this keyboard. It wasn't worth my money, it wasn't worth my time, and it wasn't worth the hour effort I went through trying to get the thing to work. I would have rated it a 1, but at least it actually typed. Sort of.

5 out of 5 eggsGood keyboard

Pros: I bought this keyboard with my first gaming computer and it works fine. For 50$ I would buy this keyboard again.

Cons: The only problem I have ever had is that sometimes when I turn my computer on, the volume scroll wheel doesn't work. This is easily fixed by unplugging and re-plugging the keyboard.

3 out of 5 eggsPretty Okay

Pros: - It's got a great feel for the most part. Most of the keys press in really easy and have good sounds. Its a lot like a laptop keyboard in that way I guess.

- There are three cool lighting options to pick from including the "off" color and its easy to select them right from the keyboard. You can change brightness that way too.

- All the "Function" keys are all really helpful like shortcuts to google and what ever. It also has the music options and stuff.

- The shape overall is nice and its not too extreme looking like a lot of keyboards out there so you can maintain your modest computer guy ego.

- The wire is one of those fabric woven ones that make me think its better than a plastic one even though I don't know why.

Cons: - After the first few days, the larger keys (space and enter) started to get that crusty scratchy resistance feel while pressing down. Its enough to bug the junk out of me and its my largest complaint.

- The backspace button is a little normal sized key so its easy to miss and hit the "\" button instead.

- The USB plug is kind of designed in the same style as the keyboard its self to match but its a little larger than a normal USB and seems to rub up against other plugs next to it and forces them to be at a really slight angle. It's probably not a big deal but I would prefer everything back there to fit nicely and not have things rubbin against other things.

Other Thoughts: Its a pretty good keyboard for its price but the problems with the larger keys is enough to make me return it for something with a more consistent feel.

5 out of 5 eggsGreat gaming keyboard for the price

Pros: Keyboard has a matte finish and responsive keys. Blue, green and teal backlighting with brightness adjustment wheel. Volume wheel with mute is a plus. For the price is doesn't get much better.

Cons: small backspace key, no red backlighting,
