This is a super awesome keyboard and I would definitely recommend it to any MMO player out there. I use it with SWTOR and ESO in combination with a Razer Naga mouse. All of the extra macro keys and MMO keys are a huge help. I also love how you can customize the lights on the keyboard to be any color you like. My only issue was the amount of separation between the 2 USB plugs. The cords were really easy to get tangled around various things during transportation. I eventually bound them together with some electrical tape, which solved the problem, so only a minor inconvenience.

I have to say that I do love this keyboard .. It replaced my old G1 last year, which was not a failure my any means. The Anansi just felt good to me from day one. In the beginning I was disappointed that the back lighting was .. not as bright as I thought it would be compared to my Naga mouse and my Nostromo. however I grew to like it. I could see the keys in the dark but I wasn't blinded by the keyboard either. I also have the Black Widow Ultimate you can see the difference in back lighting below. Both are set to the brightest settings. Keys are nice while not mechanical they have a tactile feel and you know when you have pressed a key. The keys are slightly larger than the Black Widow. The keys are relatively quiet. The only complaints that I can think about are 1) I wish it did have a mechanical option. 2) The placement of the thumb modifiers keys are awkward. I have big hands so I had to pretty much just forget that they were there. Using the Nostromo and the Naga this is nott really be an issue. However I chose this keyboard because of those keys. And finally 3) while not really an issue if you have a USB hub (with laptop) or are using a true desktop . The keyboard requires 2 USB slots to power it. I have read that one slot is primarily for the lighting and that you can disregard it but come on who wants to do that. All in all I am very impressed with the keyboard. I recently bought the Razer Black Widow Ultimate Keyboard and while I do love that keyboard I am not retiring this keyboard. I like it that much. A keyboard is just not a keyboard. And this keyboard is a keeper! I had to take a star off due to the awkward placement and inability to use the thumb modifier keys.

I was looking to replace an old Razer Lycosa keyboard that I had because it was getting worn out and having issues. When I went to look for a new keyboard, I was greeted with almost nothing but mechanical keyboards! I personally cannot stand the mechanical keyboards, and was starting to become discouraged that would be all I had to choose from. Then I saw this. You can change the backlight colors to whatever you want them to be, or have the colors pulse throughout the entire color spectrum. The key presses feel slightly stiff, but it is better than mechanical to me. I honestly do not use the hotkeys on the side of the keyboard or below the space bar. If the keys were just a little easier to press, this would have gotten five stars from me.
