excellent deal when deal of the day
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.

Loud but awesome
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.
