A very good keyboard 03/02/2014
This review is from: A4Tech Anti-Ghosting 8-Key Rollover USB PC Gaming Keyboard with Wide Palm Rest - G800V Black
Pros:
They rubber keys are very nice when gaming, before, I would sometimes slip off of wasd and I would want to move and not, or my fingers would go to he wrong place because of that, but now I make that mistake much less. The many options for the programmable buttons, and the software that comes with the keyboard is very useful, versatile, and powerful. You can make just about any macro you want and tie it to more keys than I currently have uses. These can help from gaming, to document making, to 3-d design, to homework. Over all a very useful and powerful addition to any rig. Something that I just remembered, they have more than just the little nub on the f and j keys, making them easier to feel if you are a touch typist.
Cons:
There are a few here, but none for cause to turn away from this keyboard. Firstly, I had thought the rubber part of the keys were removable, but they are not, if you do not like them, you will have to find replacement keys for them, but they seem to be generic keys, so that should not be a problem. Also, the palm rest is kind of useful, but I felt like the plastic was too hard for me at first, but I have been getting used to the feel under my hands. I would have preferred some sort of rubber for the palm rest, even a thin layer. Also, the button to switch between keysets, or whatever you want to call them, seems a little stiff for me, if it was a little bit easier to press, it would be nicer, but that is more personal preference.
Overall Review:
Over all a very good buy if you find it on sale or you find a promo. Still very good for it's current price of $60, but I personally would not buy it for that price, simply because, when you get down to it, it IS just a keyboard.I purchased this keyboard for $25, which almost feels like a steal to me, considering how good the keys feel..
