The switches have a satisfying click. The rgb looks amazing, and the keyboard has a premium feeling metal top. It’s ability to let you connect a usb device and a headphone helps with cable management. Although it blocks the rgb razer logo, the rest pad can be nice to have at times and is easily removable.

I bought this keyboard because I wanted a way to use my laptop on my large 4K monitor without having to keep my laptop in front of me, open, so that I could use its keyboard.
This keyboard is extremely satisfying to use, from the key clacking sounds to the lighting that can be made reactive. Razer Synapse 3 will pop up to be installed upon first plugging in to your computer and it is relatively easy to figure out how to create your own lighting schemes.
Though I enjoy the clacking sound the keys make, and you may as well, be aware that friends, family, and/or roommates may not. So keep those living within earshot of you in consideration when buying this awesome product.
Additionally, you can also plug the extra USB and microphone cables into your computer to use the USB and microphone jack on the left side of the keyboard for closer/easier use. This is helpful if you wish to keep your laptop closed and further away from your setup like me, which is easily possible with the very long cable(s) provided.
The reason for the -1 star: the multi-media in the upper right-hand corner of the keyboard. These are a really great addition to the keyboard and make it very easy to control multi-media without having to exit any applications or windows you may be dealing with. However, the volume wheel and mute/unmute button inside tend to occasionally change their function. The volume wheel occasionally changes so that it acts like a scroll wheel, panning up and down pages rather than changing volume, and the mute button has since decided to not work altogether.
I have been able to correct the volume wheel by reassigning functions to it via Razer Synapse 3, but have been unsuccessful doing the same with the mute/unmute button. Upon research, there are claims that the mute button only works for certain applications, but I know that it was working for pretty much everything, like YouTube, when I first got it. I haven't been able to get it to work in YouTube or literally anywhere else for a couple weeks now.
Despite all this, it is still far superior to using my laptop keyboard and many alternatives. I have no regrets buying this keyboard, and will continue to enjoy using it despite one minor inconvenience.

Love the quality and colors of this keyboard. I like how you can change the colors as you want. The keys are pretty clanky. That’s how my son wanted it. It’s good unless it is late at night and my son wants to game as we are trying to sleep!! Lol. Keyboard seems pretty sturdy. My son plays on it hard and it is kept up well.

I didn't realize the keys were clacky until I received it. I was thrilled at the first press! The keys are incredibly comfortable and has an absolute premium feel to them. This thing also feels sturdy and is very heavy. Wrist pad is just an added bonus. Absolutely worth the price tag.

This keyboard made me a believer.
I walked down the row of keyboards in the store and typed on every keyboard, and came straight back to this one. I love the tactile and clicky, The tactile without audible click was a close second, but I love hearing that it has registered when I'm typing fast or reaching in strange ways across the keyboard.
I type A LOT everyday as a programmer and this keyboard was a huge game changer for me hand and wrist pain is gone, and the headache of keys registering out of turn is no longer an issue when I'm speeding along commonly, repetitive words.
The lights are fun, but most importantly you can turn them down or like right now, just off at night so you're not getting eye strain from a keyboard.
The wrist pad is very nice, I usually keep it in my desk drawer unless I'm feeling fatigued or gaming while lounging in my chair.
If you type a lot, or just want a good keyboard that is repairable, cleanable, and sturdy, you will love this thing.

This KB is solid, the wrist rest is comfortable, and the software works well for all sorts of cool lighting profiles. I hadn't cared about RGB components prior, but now I get why people like them.
The clicky quality of the switches is really nice as well.

The keyboard is built brilliantly, it feels solid and stays put when on a pad. The wrist wrest is comfortable for long plays or typing. The variably controlled RGB leds are beautiful in lit or dark areas. If you are into mechanical keyboards this is an absolute must.

Very sick designed keyboard. It’s mechanical so it has that loud key push if that annoys you it isn’t for you. There’s a lot of cool features with the lighting on it and the cushion that comes with it for your wrists are perfect for long days of gameplay.

Another amazing keyboard. Lights can be controls with the razor software and can be controls within in. All razor devices can be synced together this way too. Great feel and quality. Wrist rest detaches incase you don't want to use it.

Very solid build. Heavy, sturdy, and the magnetic wrist rest is well crafted. A bit too clicky for some with the green switches but I like them as I use this for work as well as gaming and the feedback is great for fast typers.

Overall Great Keyboard

I just bought this product the other day but so far I am loving it. My friend owns one and he let me use it for a day and I fell in love. This keyboard sounds amazing, feels amazing and the RGB is very well lit. Also, Razers program is very user friendly and I found no issues using it. The only downside I personally found was that the cord it comes with is very stiff and hard to route. You really have to jam it in to get it to stay in the built in channels on the underside of the keyboard. There also seems to be a metallic echo when you push the outer keys. All of the letters are good it's mainly just the first column on the left and right side of the main part of the keyboard. Other than those minor things, the keyboard is amazing and I would absolutely recommend this product to a friend

Great Mechanical Keyboard for Gaming

This keyboard is great to use and type on. The switches are nice and clicky like Cherry MX Blues, the build quality is extremely sturdy, and it has most of the features that any higher end keyboard would have. It has USB and headset passthroughs, media controls, and even cable management to have the cable go out the sides, back, or straight down if you were to drill a hole in your desk for a wireless look. The wrist rest is extremely comfortable, but does cover up the RGB Razer logo on the bottom of the keyboard. Not a big deal, but would have been nice if the logo was at the top like on other keyboards so it doesn't get covered up. Overall, it's an all around great keyboard. I would definitely say get this over the Razer Huntsman Elite as it has more features for less money.

Wonderful Clicky Keyboard

This is an extremely nice keyboard -- just know that it is clicky green switches -- don't expect the orange or yellow quieter switches. The Keyboard wrist rest is super cushy and is my favorite I've ever seen/felt. The lighting effects for the keyboard don't seem the easiest to set up, but it's not like it took me too long to set it up. I've been able to set up my desired color scheme, but setting up layers of effects wasn't working for me.
I like how this keyboard seems to work automatically with some default lighting for various games -- such as using it with Divinity Original Sin 2, or Mortal Kombat 11.
The metal construction of the keyboard keeps it from bending, even if I'm pressing harder on a key in the middle of the body of it.

Coming from chiclet keys on my laptop this keyboard was an adjustment even though I've owned mechanical ones in the past. It first felt like a typewriter. I now have the hang of it and love it. It was easy to setup and I had the RGB lighting synced with my Lancehead mouse in no time. The keys make a satisfying, almost addictive, click. The palm rest is extremely comfortable, attaches to the keyboard with magnets, and stays put. It was a main attraction for me over less expensive models and I'm glad I went for it. The media buttons feel super solid.
My only negative at this point is without direct light on them, it's very difficult to identify the labels on the light indicators (caps lock, num lock, etc.).
