Pros: While I did not really think the back lit keys would be a benefit its been awesome. Very little bleed-through from under the keys so it gives a sharper look to the keyboard. I have not yet used macros so no comment on that. I also don't have 12 fingers so I cannot test the claim that you can depress 12 keys at once. However I have pressed WSAD a bunch and many key combos with out any failure or lag from input to game. Unless you want a screen or some other misplaced bragging rights that you spend 100s on a keyboard this one is top notch. No its not metal it is plastic but I doubt you are going to use it to cut off zombie heads or depress keys with a hammer.

Cons: None so far

Pros: You can cool the Fukushima reactors with this thing. I am very confident but have not tested that if the fan died airflow in the case alone would allow it to cool my processor.

Cons: I had to modify my case a bit so I could slide the mobo tray into place. I also had to cut a small notch in the top of the plastic name plate to move the fan up further near the top of the cooler for clearance reasons with my ram.

Overall Review: The install was very easy on a 2011 socket. I would try to install this BEFORE you install your ram since it will require some room for the included stamped metal wrench to tighten the bolts.

Pros: Great product has a lot of features that most very high end 7.1 systems have. Sound range is great and quality of build is awesome.

Cons: was not free
