5 out of 5 eggsDoes Its Job Without Fail

Pros: Near-immediate auto-detection & quick auto-drivers installation to use very quickly after plugging into a USB-slot. The keys are easy-to-access due to being slightly larger than the size of an average key-board (and still remaining light in weight despite). Able to select from Red, Blue or Violet (Purple) for Back-Light or turn it off altogether from simply pushing or holding down a single button.

Cons: I see no cons with this for people who are looking for the capabilities of this keyboard (for my case I just wanted something with a back-light) but it may take a short time of adjustment to get used to these keys being larger than a standard keyboard but I suppose it would be a very good thing for people whose hands are larger.

Other Thoughts: I had another back-lit key-board that was mini-sized that is no longer sold here on NewEgg & its product-line seems to have been discontinued (that was too bad because it was such a great mini-keyboard with back-light) and its keys were configured in such a manner that all of the Function-Keys were all aligned above the corresponding numeric number-keys (F1 above 1!, F2 above 2@, F3 above 3#, F4 above 4$, F7 above 7&, etc).

That would be the only other thing I would like to have on a keyboard that I haven't been able to find anywhere apart from my original mini-keyboard with back-light.

5 out of 5 eggsAwesome

Pros: Coolest keyboard ever, despite the loud stroke of keys. Cheap too. For the price, unbeatable.

Cons: Loud keys but I kinda expected that. LED doesn't turn off unless you hold down the button for a few seconds. Not a con to me but maybe some people.

3 out of 5 eggsGood but...

Pros: Nice, bright colors. Good design, amazing price.

Cons: Within a month or two, one of the lift tabs failed, so the keyboard had to stay flat, which is not a big deal and has probably happened on more than a few keyboards I have serviced. After a time the keys started to feel sticky, and some popped out all too easily. Luckily they all popped back in just fine.

A few days ago, someone spilled water *near* the Azio, which went under the keyboard (not on top of it). I immediately disconnected it, and left it to dry. No luck. A few days later still no luck. Gave up and bought a different brand today.

Other Thoughts: Despite the cons, I would probably buy this again, if I didn't need something more durable for this particular computer. Can't beat the price on this thing so it should remain a top-seller for quite some time.

4 out of 5 eggsNice

Pros: Letters are HUGE. Bought it to replace an old glowy Logitec I had. Built in function buttons are nice. Works fine with Win 8 Pro.

Cons: Backlight does not power off like my old KB when the PC enters sleep mode. Not a big deal but lost an egg for that. Don't feel like holding the LED chooser button for a few seconds every time I am done working with the system.

5 out of 5 eggsAZIO Keyboard

Pros: I love this keyboard. Not as much a hunt-n-peck typist as I used to be, but this keyboard makes it easier on my poor ole' eyes. Looks neat, too.

Cons: None

Other Thoughts: This is just a neat all 'round keyboard. Three colors, hot keys, and nothing too fancy. It just works well.

2 out of 5 eggsFeels like a laptop keyboard

Pros: Different options for backlighting

Cons: Keys are close together with little difference between them. Some are 'sticky'.

Other Thoughts: I have nerve damage, so not too much feeling in my hands. So I depend on the nubs on the home keys and the space between to find my place on the keyboard. The nubs are almost non-existent, and overall the keyboard is almost flat. It might work fine for some, but unfortunately not for me.
This may have been UPS and not Newegg, but there was a large hole in the shipping box, and oddly enough, that has happened several times lately, and only on shipments from Newegg. I've been a customer for 10 years or so, and that is a bit worrisome.

5 out of 5 eggsWOW! This keyboard is GREAT! :D

Pros: WOW! This keyboard is GREAT! :D It's just what I always wanted. The keys have really big letters on them. The keys are standard size. You can't adjust the brightness, but the brightness is JUST PERFECT! Not too bright, not too dull. It is just PERFECT! :D It sure makes typing with the lights off a breeze! :)

Someone said the keyboard light won't go out. Sure it will! All ya have ta do is hold down the illumination button in the upper right corner. Pressing it changes colors from blue to red to purple. If you hold it down, the light will go off. :)

Someone said the light won't go off if you put your computer in standby. Sure it will. The only way it will stay on all the time is if you plug it into a USB3 port that is designed to charge things - that is constantly supplied with power. All the other USB ports are not, and the light will go out on standby. Of course, if you hold down the illumination button, it will go out then too. :)

A great keyboard with a soft, gentle blue light. :) (You can change it to red or purple, I just prefer restful blue. :)

~Cindy! :)
..

Cons: Typing on it is not as good as a mechanical keyboard.

5 out of 5 eggsReally good keyborad 4 da $ (And Bling!)

Pros: Everyone that sees it wants one. I bought one for my sister lol. Quick toggle to another color, not too bright, purple (really a Lavender) matches those new light purple 140 & 120 fans perfectly.

Cons: Wired

Other Thoughts: They make purple cable sleeving too. (Oh yes I am) in my new build. Purple mouse & pad waiting.

5 out of 5 eggsExcellent Customer Service

Pros: Keys are responsive, Looks nice. Lots of customisable buttons.

Cons: The backspace button is hard to reach.

Other Thoughts: Shift button started to malfunction, and called AZIO to get it fixed. Va, the tech support/warrenty person I spoke to was very helpfull and got a RMA for me with no hassle. The best warranty in the biz.
