Right out the box: worked for maybe 15 minutes before the lights and keyboard interchangeably began to stop working. Eventually, the usb connection on both cables (non-modular fwi) failed terminally, and now the keyboard is dead. I’ve checked repeatedly that the usb ports on my computer are functioning, which they are, to be sure it was the keyboard and not my computer that was the issue. I will be returning this product.
It’s a shame, because the keyboard itself is nice and feels like it’s of decent quality, and the lighting is done well. However, that means little for a product that doesn’t function whatsoever. My $10 logitech keyboard is more useful.
p.s. I also find it redundant to have two usb cables for a single keyboard. The logitech mechanical keyboard i am currently borrowing used a single cable to manage both the lights and the keyboard connection. A rather clumsy design here.

I bought this keyboard for its sleek, modern look, but now I feel like I can type twice as fast while making fewer mistakes! The mechanical (Cherry MX Red) key switches have an extremely satisfying feel to them, and I now understand why some people pay top dollar for a good keyboard.

Great keyboard for casual gaming when you want something more reliable than a wireless set up. The cord is long enough that I can play on my TV as part of a living room setup (and directly plug my mouse into the keyboard too!)

I'm currently using the G513 by Logitech. As an older person that learned how to type on an old IBM typewriter, mechanical keyboards work for me. That said, the Fnatic Streak is probably equal to the Logitech as far as performance goes. They each have a lot of strengths and just a few complaints.
First the Fnatic comes in a great box and makes a good first impression. The top pulls off and the keyboard, padded wrist support and a box with instructions and a few nice stickers. Plugging it in takes 2 USB slots, one for the keyboard and one for the onboard USB slot. I must say the cord is thick and not really flexible. Once plugged in, I see a sticker on the space bar that instructs me where to download the software. The address didn't work and I was just about to Google it when the page forwarded to the correct page. Maybe because the software I downloaded is a beta/tester version. Regardless, it downloaded and is really easy to use. My only gripe is that I didn't see a way to not see it when I start up Windows. Again, no biggie. The wrist support attaches to the keyboard with two hinges that slide into the keyboard. You need to line up the tabs so they slide in and not snap off. Once installed your good...or so I thought. I tried it out and my wrists were on the desk, making it too small for me. Then I found out that the pad is magnetized and it can be adjusted to a few places. I moved it back 2 slots and it works great for me. My hands aren't huge, so those with larger hands may be disappointed. I think I have it out as far as possible.
Next the lighting. I'm old and don't care for the scrolling rainbow and it took a few looks to figure out how to get a stationary blue light. In the software you have 3 spots to adjust color, left, right and center. I just put all 3 on blue. It looks similar to Corel Painter. I used the gradient effect to stop the scroll.
There is a volume scroll wheel in the top right along with a mute mic, mute, function lock and competition mode. The comp. mode button turns off the windows key, function keys, and custom lighting. Another gripe of my is that the keys don't have that click like the G513 or old typewriter does. I'm guessing it has different type of switch.
What I like about the Fnatic over the G513 is the extra keys (e.g. function lock), the scroll wheel and the attached wrist support. The unit is well made and typing on it feels like typing should...well at least to me. My biggest complaint would be the lack of the click when pressing a key. It just makes the experience better when using a mechanical keyboard. I know that I hope to never go back to a regular keyboard again.
These mechanical keyboards are marketed towards gaming and the software allows gamers to remap keys, lighting and I'm sure plenty that I haven't discovered. I tend to do a lot of typing and this keyboard has improved my wpm because that muscle memory is going back to work. I'd definitely recommend this to a friend.

Wonderful Keyboard, Great Feel

The first thing you notice is excellent packaging, I’m sure this ensures shipping caused defects are minimized and is important. Next the quality of the keyboard is readily apparent, solid keys and fantastic feel as you type. If you are used to membrane keyboards you will either dislike a mechanical keyboard or will suddenly wonder why didn’t I get this before – the feel on the mechanical keyboards for me is wonderful and the sound is important since it lets you know you hit the key of course and is another important feedback for you. Gamers will love it due to the excellent Cherry MX switches which have a 50 million stroke guarantee and yes you can tell they are high quality. The floating keys are on top of an aluminum top plate and this makes the feel so solid – no sponginess. You can deploy a couple feet to raise the keyboard angle and all the feet are rubber tipped – excellent design to hold the keyboard in place perfect. There is also a volume wheel on the upper right and it is something I now use all the time, I think all keyboards need these. Also a mike and speaker mute buttons. If you like detailed specs go here: https://fnatic.com/gear/mini-streak/
Since the keyboard doesn’t lay flat like a filet of sole, you need a wrist rest and one is provided. It has a nice metal baseplate that attaches to the keys and a padded rest that has three positions to accommodate different finger lengths – it hooks magnetically into your choice of 3 different slots. You can indeed find the most comfortable position for your needs.
This is a wired keyboard and it has a double USB connector. The second connection allows you to have a very convenient USB slot on the back of the keyboard which is ideal for connecting a wired mouse. I happen to also use the Fnatic Flick2 mouse and so I used this connection for it.
If you like lights this keyboard has them – RGB LED’s – wow they are nice. You can use the Fnatic OP app to configure 4 different profiles. You can customize the keyboard without the app, but the app is super easy to use. You can have many colors, multiple colors, pulsing, rainbows and other very nice color effects. There is a key on the keyboard to put it in ‘Competition’ mode and this key makes the lighting more subtle and a single color. The ‘Competition’ key also disables some keys like the Windows key. The app is going to be further enhanced so I am waiting to see what other options it will provide. I really think Fnatic got this right both the app and the keyboard. After using this keyboard, I very much prefer it over membrane keyboards, too bad most laptops don’t have mechanical keyboards, but some higher end gaming laptops do have these wonderful devices. I highly recommend this one which has a great price performance kickback.

I love this keyboard! The only thing that I’d change about it is the cord— it’s by no means slight. If there were a wireless version (or one with a cord that’s slightly less obtrusive), I’d be all over it.
