Corsair Vengeance K90 Black/Metal USB Wired Gaming Performance, MMO Mechanical Keyboard Corsair Vengeance K90 Black/Metal USB Wired Gaming Performance, MMO Mechanical Keyboard

Pros: -Solid build, feels quality and sturdy
-Thick/solid cord
-Utility software to assist in setting up macros (Basic macros like copy/paste, open specific .exe)

Cons: -I have zero prior macro recording experience with keyboards. The basics are super easy using utility software, but anything advanced is very tricky to work into macros.
-After extensive searching on corsair sight, conclusion is that they also don't know how to macro in-game controls. It's frustrating I can't find anything helpful to assist in setting up basic key inputs on the macro-board in-game.

Other Thoughts: It's a great keyboard, fantastic upgrade over ANY non-mechanical. There are plenty of macro-keys for the taking; however, setting them up for any specific in-game control has been impossible for me (lack of info online & lack of prior experience).

Pros: -nice response
-backlit keys
-I like the volume wheel control at the top-right

Cons: -keys are a bit too soft for me
-expensive

Other Thoughts: This is my first mechanical keyboard so I didn't know about the soft/hard grading of the key pressures. I find that this key is a bit too soft for me. The keys are also "raised" up more than normal because of its low design, which takes getting used to. Overall, good keyboard, if a bit expensive.

Pros: Great key response. You can play or type for hours with no fatigue. I use to play on an older keyboard and my knuckles would hurt after 4-5 hours straight of playing. The macros are easy to set up and switch around when playing different games.

Cons: Not all keys are mechanical, but really, they are the least used keys ever.

Other Thoughts: I love the blue back light of the keys.

Pros: Great overall keyboard, nice solid build, firm keys. Has good features like programmable keys, lighting options.

Cons: very loud key clicks! I hate to ever touch this keyboard if I'm on the phone, and while voice chatting with fellow gamers this keyboard is so annoying every time I talk there's always loud key clicks in the background. Wish it was less expensive, then it'd be a real value. It also has a problem with spurious "F" keys being entered, even though I never touched the "F" key, they'll show up from time to time. Also has intermittent, very infrequent but annoying, problem of repeating keys. I will go to hit a key and then I get 5 of them, or 10 and I wasn't holding it down.

Other Thoughts: not bad overall, but those "F" keys and sticking or repeating keys and the higher price keeps this from a 5 egg rating for me.

Pros: Like the feel of mechanical keys, should be sturdy

Cons: bought on 3/07 and keyboard is not working correctly. Doesn't always type and delay in typing

Pros: First let me say this is the nicest keyboard I've ever used. Its great design, and really like the feel of it. Programmed a ton of keys already, improved game play. Came in 2 days.

Cons: The drivers for this was a bit hard to find, accidentally got the firmware instead of the driver so was stuck 20 minutes finding that. Little big, Makes a little bit of noise i don't mind it.

Other Thoughts: Buy this keyboard if you interested in a very nice gaming one.

Pros: I love the blue back-lighting. The keys feel great and there are a ton of macro keys. The entire board feels very solid and all the keys are mounted to a nice piece of aluminum. The USB port on the keyboard for your mouse is great if you have your tower a good distance from your monitors like I do. The braided USB cable coming from the keyboard is thick and sturdy and splits into 2 USB dongles to connect to the computer. I can type much faster and games are very responsive. You can also hit almost the entire keyboard at the same time (if you so needed) and it will register every key press.

Cons: Not all of the keys are mechanical but the entire main keyboard and numpad and arrow keys are all mechanical which are all I use about 98% of the time.

Other Thoughts: Only the mechanical keys are backlit with the blue lights.

Pros: Plugged up and worked right away. The lighting is great on this keyboard, the buttons are really responsive. In case you didnt know this keyboard isnt fully mechanical. All the "F" keys, the 9 keys by the number pad are not mechanical, and the dedicated keys are also not. Its built like a tank though. I really like the wheel for the volume control. Great buy.

Cons: None

Pros: This keyboard speaks for itself. Corsair makes quality products and this is no exception. The aircraft aluminum makes this keyboard super solid...no flex at all. The pros are heavily enumerated in other comments so I won't repeat them.

Cons: So there are a couple things buyers need to beware of.

* 16 bit keyboard. This means that old BIOS systems may have trouble recognizing this keyboard at boot. For most people, this will be a non-issue since Legacy BIOS settings can be adjusted and most people never use their at BOOT capabilities. But be warned, if you dual boot Linux, you might have trouble in that GRUB loaders do not recognize the keyboard.

* Cherry Red MX switches are LINEAR. This wasn't mentioned anywhere where I bought the keyboard. This means the mechanical keys don't have that "click" tactile feedback when the keys register as pressed. This is a preference, but I greatly prefer non-linear switches. There have been many times where I have lightly depressed a key and had it accidentally register.

These aren't really cons...but I did deduct 1 egg for my troubles with GRUB.

Other Thoughts: This keyboard is still the best keyboard I have ever bought. And despite the linear switches, it is still a mechanical keyboard (it has increased my wpm and accuracy greatly).

Unfortunately, I am a Linux programmer, administrator, and regular user...so not having the keyboard work with my GRUB loader has been a giant pain. Up until recently I had my old Razer Lycosa also hooked into my desktop...but my girlfriend spilled a Pepsi straight into it...so that is no longer an option. I am still trying to find a workaround to get my K90 to work with GRUB.

Pros: I LOVE IT ; SHINY ,SLICK MADE TO LAST & EYE CANDY. by far best keyboard i ever had. I would recommend it to everyone who can afford its price tag.

Cons: not red ; not all keys are mechanical
