nice keyboard
Love this keyboard. Quality feels solid, and worth the money. However, I was a bit disappointed that the top part of the case is plastic, and not metal like the Blackwidow or huntsman elites, especially for the price, but still doesn't feel cheap. The keys feel really nice to type on, not as clicky as what i'm used to (i believe my blackwidow elite had clicky purple switches), don't get me wrong, the keyboard is still loud, as mechanical keyboards should be, its just a different type of sound, its a more dull plastic hitting plastic sound. The keys were a bit too sensitive for my liking at first, i was spamming keys when barely touching them, thankfully this keyboard allows you to adjust the actuation via the software, so was able to make the keys less sensitive. this feature alone justifies the price in my opinion. I was a bit worried about the volume control on the keyboard. My Blackwidow elite had the same exact set up and controls, and it was really glitchy, googling it found tons of people having the same exact issues, for example, while attempting to turn up or down the volume, the volume would jump around, so there was a design flaw in the sensor. Seems they maybe have fixed the issue, the knob seems more solid, less loose, and hasn't given me any issues yet. fingers crossed. The lighting doesn't seem to be as vibrant as it has been on past keyboard, i think its due to the type of keycaps used, these are high quality and more dense plastic caps, so that could be why, can easily switch keycaps back to the older cheap plastic ones if lighting is a huge deal. the lighting on the sides, and media keys are super vibrant. the wrist rest seems of high quality, and feels nice. snaps on with ease and has a firm connection. The lighting on it is a nice touch, i don't use the wrist rest though. so i put that back into the box. i haven't messed with the 360 degree analog stuff yet, so i can't say much for that. also haven't messed with the dual step actuation, but i think they'll come in more handy and useful than the 360 stuff. love the keyboard, and don't regret the purchase at all. still for the price, metal casing would've been better.

An expensive keyboard, but its worth it!
Yes it is a bit expensive....but it's soooo worth it! Nicest keyboard I have ever had. The keystrokes feel smooth and precise, and the case is dampened well so it sounds nice. The ergonimics are perfect, I really like the fully covered padded hand rest more than the last generation. (The Huntsman Elite from a few years ago had an aluminim boarder around the padded hand rest that I didn't like, it was tall and uncomfortable). I love the new USB 3.0 socket on the side, I don't know why all their keyboards wouldn't have that. This is a great all-around keyboard. I have it paired with a Razer Basilisk Ultimate mouse, and a Razer Firefly V2 mousepad, and I honestly can't imagine a better setup. The lighting is very cool looking, and I like how it can sequence the lighting effects across everything using their Synapse Chroma Studio app.

Best gaming keyboard
This is the best gaming keyboard I have used. The full size is great and the added media controls are excellent! I upgrade the keycaps with the Razer Mercury Green pbt caps an it looks awesome!

The best keyboard got better
Great keyboard. Have both the huntsmans we elite keyboards. Both are pretty much the same except the key switches. It took me a few days to get use to the new switches. In all honesty if you are looking into buying this or the older version for $50 less I would highly recommend the older version. Both are superb keyboards
