Best Gaming Keyboard Ive Owned
I like everything about this keyboard. The software, the RGB lighting, and the feel of the keys. I especially like the compact size. While it would look great with any gaming set up, I particularly like the way it complements my HP omen gaming rig. The keyboard feels heavy, and the build quality is premium.

Exceptional Keyboard
I have always preferred smaller keyboards than a full keyboard and for the price $100 normally $70 on sale this was the best choice the keys feel so smooth and responsive that I find any reason to type on it.
