Loud but awesome
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you want a Mechanical Keyboard w/some glow without dropping a chunk of change, I would say this is worth it. I got it on sale so even better. If feels great typing and love the green. You can't change the colors on the keyboard and it's wired, but you don't have to worry about batteries so there's that. When you type it is louder than most mechanical keyboards that I've tried. Overall i would say this is a good buy.

No problems yet just bought
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Loving it for the price. You have to keep its program open to stop the light from breathing setting. It has two different height settings for stand/clips on bottom. Feels real responsive. Keys are super loud according to the woman rofl.

excellent deal when deal of the day
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really, really like clicky keyboards. This was works great, functions the way it's supposed to. When you plug it in, it will download software from Razer to register and allow customization. I'm not too big on it, so I haven't really messed with it. I would've liked to grab the RBG one, but at the end of the day, I don't stare at my keyboard so I don't think I'd really appreciate the colors flying by. Green is nice, it's not aggressive. If you like mechanical keyboards and either don't mind or really like the clicky sound/feel, this will be good. I also have a keyboard with MX Brown switches, and these offer a little more resistance to the key strokes. Does NOT have a detachable cord, which would've really been nice but it's not common yet. Purchased for I believe around $55 for deal of the day.

Unfortunately needs software
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this for my work laptop, the default setting is breathe which is the lights pulse on and off. I could not change this without installing software. I am unable to install software on my corporate laptop so this had to be returned. Too bad.. I really liked it.

Relies too heavily on the software
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The overall design of the keyboard is fine, but the over reliance on the software to manage/apply settings, even when rebooting the keyboard returns to defaults, limits its usefulness. I find it extremely annoying to deal with the default 'Breathing' lighting scheme, the light slowly fades on and off, so that I cannot consistently see the keys in poor lighting unless I am running a supported OS. Also the keycaps do not allow backlighting for the shifted key codes, none of the shifted value from the number/function keys for example, so again you cannot see them in poor lighting. A replacement keycap set is available for $29.00 but the design seems a bit cheap. Overall I will not purchase another Razer keyboard.

The very best Keyboard I have evet used
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought it because of excellent reputation of Razor. I was not disappointed I keep my office area semi-dark so the illuminated green light is perfect on the black keys fantastic! Best Buy one-day sale price was the final motivation,
