    A really good keyboard worth spending the $100 I got this as a late birthday present and I enjoy very much way better than my old keyboard

    I don’t know how steelseries made such a premium keyboard for a relatively low price. It’s heavy, it’s clicky, its clean, and the rgb lets me see colors I’ve never seen before (and I’m color blind). I struck gold with this keyboard. Buy this keyboard, trust.

    Absolutely love this keyboard, especially for the price. Feels like a much higher priced keyboard than what you actually pay for. Individual RGB back-lit keys, that you can fully program with the Steelseries software. Not to mention, Steelseries customer service is top notch. Any issues with any of their products, contact Steelseries and they'll handle it 100%

    Nice heavy keyboard and the RGB lighting effects are amazing. You can control it via the mini screen on the keyboard or on the downloaded desktop app. The only complaint I have is that the blue switches are very very loud. If you enjoy loud keystrokes then this keyboard if for you.

    Very comfortable mechanical keyboard

    This is my first mechanical keyboard and I love it! It did come with a little dink in one of the beveled sides but it’s hardly noticeable and that would be my only complaint. It looks super cool and the RGB looks stunning. It’s comfortable to type on and makes the perfect amount of noise. The cord is quality and I like how on the back you can change it’s position.

    so far I am loving the board. But.......i already have a malfunctioning key. My 2 key only works from certain angles. I've cleaned it and its still an issue. I bought the extended warranty and I will be taking advantage of that soon. This is probably am isolated incident, so I'm not destroying the company. The board all in all is amazong for the price. I LOVE the loud click sound when pressing the keys. The RGB is clearer amd brighter than my K95 corsair board. For the price, you will NOT find. Better board

    Great affordable keyboard. Love the steelseries engine and how many options it gives me for customization. The only thing I am concern about is the durability of this keyboard. I started to notice some strange button feeling on the w key where I can feel a second tactile click when I have the key pressed down and I move it slightly forward. Other than that, every key feels great and responsive.

    This is a very good mechanical keyboard, especially for the price. I had been looking around for mechanical keyboards that included a 10 key and a lot of them were coming in at double the price of this one. Couldn’t be happier with the purchase, really enjoying the tactile feel and clicky sounds.

    Overall good construction. Not as needlessly large as other keyboards. The keys are about as responsive as you'd expect. The ability to turn the lighting down with the press of a key is nice. But the OLED screen seems pretty pointless to me. And it doesn't seem like there's a way to turn it off. The addition of a volume button is a huge plus for me.

    Awesome keyboard. The fact that it has the ability to be a music visualizer on top of all the cool customizations that can be done with this thing.... MIND BLOWN!!! Very well made and I'm glad I chose this one.

    Great quality, but some issues

    The keyboard overall is very well made, quality wise. I like the sound of the keys and the customization of the lights. There are a few issues I have with the keyboard though. First, the sensitivity of keys when pressing down. It registers your input when you put the smallest amount of pressure. So when you are hovering over one of the keys, it inputs it in, which can be annoying when typing and playing games. I understand that it is a hybrid keyboard so that is probably why it does this, but I wish some other reviews pointed this out. Another issue I have that I can't figure out if it is a problem is that when I hold down a couple keys, it doesn't register some other keys. An example would be if I am holding the key "C" to crouch, and "D" to move right at the same time. I can't click "G" while holding "C" and "D". I am not sure if there is some anti-ghosting implemented into the keyboard but it can be very annoying to deal with. I would only recommend this product if it is on a heavy discount, but do not buy at full price. You will be very disappointed.

    This sturdy metal frame keyboard feels and sounds so good! Click, click, click with good key register and rebound. Nice and succinct switch activation. The RGB backlighting color selection is sweet. My only disappointment is that it doesn't have a direct sleep button.

    I got this keyboard for my son for his birthday. The keyboard that came with his New Gaming computer was not good for gaming at all. Thus keyboard is great for the next upgrade for someone looking yo get better at gaming on your computer. Also all the options are cool for the lights on it.

    This is a solid keyboard for me. The RGB isn't too much like some displays I've seen and it has a number pad. I like the wrist rest that was included with this keyboard as well, very comfortable for what it is. The keyboard is a little loud, of course as a mechanical, but it's not the worst I've ever heard and it's certainly manageable. Highly recommend this keyboard, especially for the price.

    I purchased this a few weeks ago and it works good. The discord extension for the OLED display is helpful when wanting to read discord messages when received. The default light configurations are pretty good too. Overall nice keyboard and good build quality.

    Easy to type on (Fast and accurate) RGB works flawlessly. I can sync all my SteelSeries devices with the app. I recommend this if you have a desk and need an accurate keyboard.
