I’m not a gamer
I actually love this keyboard, I’m not a gamer I purchased this for work, I love the fast responsiveness of each key. The keyboard itself looks beautiful with the lights.

Real Life Doesn't Match The Ad
My first lighted keyboards after having traditional, "quiet key" keyboards for decades. I thought the backlighting would help (since I look at the keyboard when I type), andit does help. Also liked the colors shown in the advertising. I use one of the pre-programmed colors/patterns, and the colors are not as rich and brilliant as shown in the ad. Also, I expected there to be many different patterns to choose from. Patterns are limited and not very inspiring. As far as using the keyboard for funtionalityh...the jury is still out. The first week I had it, I had a hard time locating the sub-figures I wanted - the comma, semi-colon, dollar sign, etc. - because they look different, in my opinion, than they do on previous keyboards I've used. It also seems like I'm making many more errors when I type than I used to, which i attribute to the keys being slightly elevated over what i am used to using. I bought this keyboard because my last one had keys that were sticking and I received a gift card to Best Buy, so i figured I would splurge and pay a little more for the keyboard since the ad made it look neat, and I really liked the rich colors they show in the ad. If I were spending my own money, knowing what i know now, I would forego the lighting and just go back with the standard keyboard without the raised, lit keys.
