    This keyboard is honestly one of the best I've ever used. The keys don't catch my fingers like most other mechanical gaming keyboards and the keys are tactile enough for gaming and yet quiet enough for office work. I prefer this over SteelSeries's $250 top of the line pro keyboards. It's clearly not made of the best quality materials but that's not why this keyboards exists. Really the only way this keyboard could be better is if they released a wireless version.

    My son got this and he said it feels comfortable, it’s really good for the price that was given, you can customize the color pattern and you can change the colors of the RGB. I recommend for you to buy this keyboard.

    A very excellent keyboard if you're on a budget. The keys are actually quite, there isn't much of a clicking sound which is great. Love the RGB lighting and you can customize the colors with the steelseries software.

    I used to have a wireless keyboard, but it seemed to have issues connecting from time to time, so we bought this wired one. My kids like the way you can customize the back light and I like the way it feels while typing on it.

    A high-average keyboard with bad software.

    Overall: The keyboard is solidly constructed but somewhat smaller than expected, making it a little harder to get used to. Bottons offer solid, tactile, immediate, and QUIET response. I tested out the various color switches, and TBH, there's only a couple of % separating this dome switch keyboard from the brown or blue switch ones; not enough difference to be worth the racket those things make. It's also higher than it really should be, which means that you will likely have to use the wrist support provided (because they know their product has an issue), unless you don't have rooom for it, it which case, train your wrists to stay straight, right? The backlighting comes in lots of pretty colors, which TBH, I couldn't care less about. While the keys are backlit, Unfortunately, the lighting is zonal, and not particularly brilliant, so not too much makes it up through the keys... which is really why I bought it in the first place. It got better after I color shifted the whole thing to "white," which is actually a "whitish-blue," because somebody is using older LEDs. The surface is mat-black hard plastic, which, unlike the stupid rubberized coatings, can actually be cleaned without becoming a gummy nightmare. Fingerprints and tears caused by gaming losses are easily removed. You'll need that, as EVERYTHING leaves prints. Good thing it's water-resistant. All in all, it's a slightly unusually sized solid keyboard with average back-lighting and no inovation whatsoever. There is one item of particular note that bothers me, however: The GG (DL) software is simply a way to track you around... you don't need it at all. One would think that a Danish hardware company could write a decent software program, but the basic Engine software (DL) is a programming joke. Is is intuitive? Sure. Can you use it to change the lighting pattern? Yes. Sometimes. When it feels like it. It seems to be confused by the zone thing, so sometimes, you have to back up to where it lists your "gear" to get it to work. Furthermore, there is nothing under the settings button that I could see. There are boxes to click and buttons that should say SOMETHING, but don't. I even went looking for older versions to make certain it wasn't just an issue with their latest. Nope. Not a single one of them is correctly programmed. It's an RGB keyboard. I'm already embarrased to own it, so the least they could do is get the software right, because it's half the purchase, and the only thing that justifies the price. Support? What's that? Overall, it's a beautiful, well-made keyboard with some nice features, but the keys that are just a tad small. The backlight doesn't quite get where it needs to be (it's a keyboard, not a float at the Disneyland Light Parade). The (DL) Engine software program brings shame to the Danish software engineers at SteelSeries.

    Love this gaming key board, the back lighting, wrist rest, and the touch of the keys. The unit also come with USB port for the mouse which made it easy for any connection. The key board is made form good material, only wish they have different color options that made it fashionable and matching with other furniture. Overall, reasonable price for the quality.

    Needed a new keyboard as my previous one has so much wear some of the keys weren't working anymore. For a budget hybrid mechanical/membrane keyboard this is a pretty great choice if you're looking for quieter keys. I mostly went with this keyboard because I wanted a backlit keyboard and it was less expensive than the all black standard Logitech. I just have the lights static on one color so it's not too distracting. The only reason I gave the keyboard 4 stars is because I was having all kinds of problems with it while it was connected to a USB hub. It's possible it might require a powered USB hub to function properly if it's not plugged directly into the PC/laptop. Plugging in directly to an onboard USB port resolved my issues. Errors included missed key entries and stuck keys repeating until I unplugged the keyboard. There was also a delay in entered keys which felt real messed up. I was just about to return it but decided to try it direct connected first. All issues resolved after direct connection.
