I bought this keyboard for my husband who is a big online gamer. He absolutely loves it. He can make the keys certain colors to control the ones that he needs for certain games.

Purchased this keyboard on sale for my gaming sons. They love the changing rainbow lights and the "clicking" sound as each key is pressed. Very nice buy!

Great Mechanical RGB Keyboard

I went to purchase the blue backlit version of this keyboard, which was on sale for $55. After ordering online, and going to pick up at the store, they were unable to locate the version I purchased. The store managers, however, decided to upgrade me to this RGB version, for no additional cost. Thank you for that :D
As for the keyboard itself, it's mechanical. It was just released in late July, so as of right now, there is hardly any information about it. At the price I paid, it is amazing. At the normal ~$120 price point, it is still pretty good. It uses Kailh Blue switches, which are copies of Cherry MX Blue switches. Being copies doesn't mean they are bad, and I actually prefer the feel these have (slightly heavier feel) versus the more expensive Cherry switch. These being Blue copies, they make a clicking sound when actuated, and you can also feel a bump as well, which is great for typing. I wouldn't recommend clicky switches for gaming.
The RGB is beautiful, and allows you to do all sorts of custom programming of the keys, including individual coloring of the keys, as well as various effects. The software is a little confusing to figure out at first, but simple for a techie after a few minutes.
This keyboard is ridiculously heavy, but is also one of the most sturdy keyboards I've come across. If you don't care about the RGB lighting, then you can get the single color version for around $80. But overall, this keyboard is really fantastic for anyone who wants a full RGB backlit, mechanical keyboard.

repeat keystrokes seems the malfunction of this keyboard, while some had luck in cleaning the keys thoroughly others have it so bad.. the company replaces it under warranty.
When you're paying ~80 dollars for a keyboard you'd expect it to last 5 years give or take. this one died in 1.

I bought this on a whim and I do not yet regret it. I enjoy it for many tasks and not just gaming. Some of the back lighting modes may help you with your typing skills. I use this keyboard for gaming and regular day-to-day PC work.
The software is not the greatest to use. Then again, you do not buy these keyboards for their software to change the LED colors though.

Though this is not Cherry MX switch, but it is nicely made, looks firm, audible click feedback good, clicky, solid keyboard feet, RGB feedback is also great. Cons: software is not easy to use, it stuck when I try to change backlit color.

Great Keyboard, Reasonable Price!

This keyboard is very nice! The Blue switches respond in a great fashion and feel nice. The brightness and color diversity is very nice. One thing to keep in mind however is that the software for both setting macros and changing lightning is very poor. This comes with all the standard color presets that you expect the keyboards of 150+ to come with. They are completely customizable as well.
I would recommend it. Great keyboard.

Bought to replace the one I had, got temperamental on me. You can change the backlit colors as you want, or leave it to change automatically. Very happy!

I have to admit I wasn't familiar with the brand, but I love this keyboard. The tactile feel (blue keys) is excellent and the RGB lighting looks great and is easy to customize.
