Built like a tank and sounds like one too6/11/2017 11:59:53 AM
Pros: First I want to give props to New Egg. My first keyboard was defective and New Egg replaced it even though I threw away the box and installed the hot keys. Will always shop at New Egg,
Second this keyboard is extremely responsive and has improved my Call of Duty killing sprees. It's built like a freeking tank and I love the hot keys which have a tactile feel. The keys are BRIGHTLY lit and makes night slaughters pretty care free. The keys are a bit loud but not overly annoying. USB charging pass through is a plus but where the keyboard shines is it's construction. Dude this thing is heavy and stays put.
Pros: Excellent design. It has a small form factor - almost minimalist in some ways. It is weighted but not as heavy as some other brands I've used (Corsair and Coolermaster). The keys seem just a hair smaller than other keyboards but that doesn't seem to affect the usability. I really love the slight tactile feedback from the Cherry MX Brown keys. You can adjust the backlighting directly from the keyboard. It includes a braided cable and slip cover.
Cons: Not fan of having to use 2 USB ports on my PC but I've seen other brands doing the same. I guess the 2nd port is for dedicated power for the charging port on the keyboard.
Overall Review: I might buy a 2nd keyboard for work.
Pros: - Minimal edges around the keys, even by tenkeyless standards, while making all keys accessible and comfy. And no extraneous keys!
- Perfect color for playing in the dark and not messing with your vision
- Perfect amount of pressure to noise generated for my tastes (mx reds)
Cons: - The bright red alternating with black usb cable it came with was ugly to my tastes, I replaced it with the usb cable from my previous keyboard, which was a nicely braided solid black design. Upshot: the usb cable can be replaced!
Overall Review: - Highly, highly recommend.

Awesome little keyboard, finally get the space back on my desk.1/20/2018 4:19:50 PM
Pros: - Exactly right, no extra junk, perfect form factor, standard USB cord is replaceable.
- Solid build, heavy enough to stay put.
- Very good braided jacket cord with small USB included, will keep using.
- RED Cherry key switches are very comfortable, not too stiff, not too loud, very responsive.
- Red LED's go from very bright, to dim enough for dark, to full off.
- Symbols on key caps are clear and visible, and go at top of key above light so they are not too dim to see.
- Light leakage below keys is not enough to be annoying, it's no problem that the keys stand above the board.
- Function keys to operate special features are easy, mostly self explanatory.
Cons: none.
Overall Review: I waited a long time before I finally took the plunge and bought the keyboard I wanted. I thought the Cherry RED would be too stiff, and always thought I should get a Cherry BROWN based board. I was using a Logitech lent from a friend with BROWN, and it was OK, but took up about 3 times the space on my desk, and the symbols were almost impossible to read.
Then this board came on sale, and it looked good. The RED are great, the board is great, my desk has space again.
And CTRL is on the very bottom left where it is supposed to be, so my pinky can find my hand's way home.
Pros: -Long keyboard
-easy to type n game
-Loud clicks
-Feels smooth
-Cool Lights
Cons: No really cons. Might be annoying with the clicks if u talk to people over the mic

Great, Solid Mechanical Keyboard6/5/2021 7:09:38 AM
Pros: -Cherry MX switches
-Volume/Media Controls (Huge, other keyboards in this segment tend to have them in odd positions or might not even come with a volume slider/wheel at all.)
-RGB and the effects are really nice, but I keep mine static.
-Solid, very well built keyboard
-Love the font on the keys compared to other major keyboard brands
Cons: Honestly don't have any complaints, it fits my needs (Cherry MX Brown/Full Key). However this particular model is hard to come by and is a little inflated in price compared to when I bought previously. Could not find any in stock anywhere else, not sure if they discontinued with the Cherry MX switches. Also accidentally purchased from a vendor outside the country which caused some confusion in between NewEgg and DHL but it arrived sooner than I expected in mint condition and great packaging.
Overall Review: -Love this keyboard, probably will keep using till it dies like my other one did. (Spilled beer, still works after an iso bath just was missing keys.)
-If you're looking for a full set keyboard with the option of Cherry MX Blue, Brown and Red that is solid and has a volume slider this is the one.
Pros: -Solid construction -Feels great
Cons: -A tad pricey so pick it up on sale. I got it on sale for $80.
