My son loves this key board for his gaming. All the different commds it allow him to set in order to play his games!

This keyboard is a must for gamers. The keys are placed perfectly and the extras help unbelievably during play.

I have always wanted a keyboard like this and when I saw it on sale I knew this was the time to get it.

Awesome keyboard highly recommended ! Gaming for life

this keyboard is great, love to use it. design is cool.

If you had the budget for another keyboard grab another

Keyboard was only OK. Ended up returning it. The 7/& key didn't work at all. The gaming software "accelerator" would sometimes cause the keyboard to spew out numerous key clicks when only one was desired.

When i bought this i thought wow more buttons to program macros on but when i got it home i noticed i couldnt type on it as fast without messing everyting up and then whenever i hit the spacebar my finger would hit the buttons on the bottom not enough to press them but enough to irritate my finger not something i want to deal with for a long time playing games or typing.

I bought this keyboard the other day as an early Christmas gift to myself and im glad i didint choose anything else! I'm big into online gaming such as World of Warcraft, League of Legends, Dota2, etc. and this makes it so much easier to play. With the thumb keys, you can set ANY key binding, and the macro keys down the side make it incredibly easy to mine, set tanking moves, or just set a list of timed abilities to use one after the other. Granted, going from a normal keyboard to this one poses some threat in the way of a strong learning curve, but its nothing you cant overcome a few hard gamed hours later ;D If anyone out there is looking for a GREAT all around keyboard for gaming, typing, designing or anything in general, BUY THIS KEYBOARD!!!

Bought this on sale for $85 to replace my Logitech Illuminated keyboard and Razer Lycosa. Both of those keyboards are great, but I needed a new one... the Lycosa was getting old, and the Illuminated Keyboard was not great for gaming (buttons are too small and flushed). I am absolutely loving the feel of the mechanical keys (and the clicks are fun to listen to too), and it's very easy to use. Once you install the driver off Razerzone.com, it's fun to make your own macros for the extra buttons this keyboard provides. The colors and brightness of the back light is pretty neat too ^_^ I've had this a little less than a week now, so I'll post another review/update should anything change.

I have tried many keyboards both gaming and not. Even have at least one other RAZOR and mouse. I love the lighting, I use a different color for each application it insures at a glance that the right key will do the right thing. Micros are nice I use one to change applications. I love the programmable keys, most games use settings I find hard to cope with. I do each game as best suits me own little digits. Most of all I am totaly in love with the 7 thumb keys below the space bar. They are easy to reach and use by all fingers and are often the only part of the keyboard I use.

I bought this keyboard primarily for use in programming. The combination of all the macro keys, plus the thumb keys, and the ability to switch profiles, allowed me to create profiles for different languages and frameworks I build in. It definitely helps when writing PHP, since it doesn't have an easy syntax for object access or array assignments. For things like node or WordPress, I have keys assigned to autowrite common functions, and have even used thumb keys to move the "end" button to my thumb, which doesn't sound like much, but is HUGE. I wish the backlighting wasn't restricted to just the keys and the Razer symbol, I love the keyboards where the whole board under the keys is lit up, but the lighting provided is at least fairly bright, and the ability to customize it per profile is a good visual feedback when hot swapping between profiles. The keyboard also has a satisfying tactile and audible feedback. Not quite the same as a mechanical, but close enough.

After my 2 year old son broke my factory keyboard, I decided to purchase a gaming keyboard. After reading countless reviews on logitech and razer boards, I decided to go with this one. This keyboard is simply amazing. It is built very sturdy, and has a great feel to it. The lighting really helps for playing in the dark. The keyboard pairs wonderfully with the Razer Naga gaming mouse. Very satisfied with my purchase! Don't let this keyboad pass you by.

I purchased this keyboard in late December of 2013. At the time I was using an old Saitek keyboard that had seen its better days. This was decently priced, and I liked the idea of the thumb buttons. I mainly play MMOs so I really was expecting more functionality than I got. The two major things I don't like about the keyboard are that the extra MMO buttons can not be individually programmed. Or atleast they are unsupported with the games I play. They simply replace the shift, alt, and cntrl combinations. I guess this is great if you take the time to set those up...but I am lazy. I wanted easy. The worst part of this keyboard, it is a membrane keyboard. I should have done my research. They keys are very soft, and often do not respond when I type to fast. I re-enter a password at least 4 times a day because the keys don't pick-up what I am typing. I would research keyboards whose keysets are more responsive, with a crisper reaction before I purchased this.

First the good. Overall this is a good keyboard functionally. I like the feature set for the price. Its not a crazy good deal, but the price is reasonable for what you're getting. The razer synapse software has come a long way and is quite enjoyable to customize the function of the keyboard. I like the MMO modifier keys, although i found that the first one on the top left I was bumping it too often when doing other things besides gaming and even sometimes when I was gaming. So, I disabled that key. However, my major two complaints about this keyboard are as follows: When you have the feet engaged to lift the height of the keyboard the feet do not grip my desk very well. This causes the keyboard to want to move while in use. Which, is problematic. This isn't a huge issue because the keyboard is rather comfortable in its lower position. The other issue and primary issue is my left shift key has worn out in 5 months. Essentially it has become far more difficult to actuate and requires you to now press it dead center for the mechanism to spring back properly. I assume this is from a combination of Diablo 3 play (I'm not a heavy gamer, especially since I was in school most of the time from end Jan to 1st week may) and typing papers. I did buy the extended warranty on the keyboard and its being replaced at no charge, however, for those who didn't and would have to send the keyboard in to razer I just think this keyboard would've held up better. I do love my other razer products (naga mouse = greatest). Just wish this product were better for longevity. Maybe I just got a bad one....

I originally bought the Black Widow, but it did not have enough macro keys. I've had this one now for more than half a year, and although I love it, I have two changes i wish they would make on it. The lighting is not nearly as bright as compared to my Naga mouse, which is just a small concern for me. The main issue I have is that the extra keys below the spacebar should be placed much further to the left near the WASD keys. Most people use Razer products for MMO's and I wish they took that factor into account.

I have been using this keyboard for just short of a year and it is the best keyboard I have ever used very good and plenty of programmable buttons.
