Customer Insights: Rated 4.63/5 from 24 reviews.
Love this keyboard. It's sleek and raises up in the back just right for comfortable typing. The magnetic palm rest is comfortable, too. The best feature is the lights. If your keyboard is on a pull-out tray underneath a desk, it lights up all the keys so you can see them. You can choose the color you want, and control the volume from the keyboard. Also comes with a tool that allows you to switch the keys around. Very happy with it, and would recommend.
This keyboard is my smile when i have to use a desktop. It is so much more enjoyable to stay stationary when i can look at these colors. You can program it to be any color you want or multiple colors. Thete are even different patterns. Super easy to use and program what you want it to do.
I am still getting used to the keys on this thing. The typing is quite noisy so if you don't mind that then go for it. It is well built and there is a wide variety of color options available without loading their app. Love the palm rest which magnetically attaches to the keyboard.
I gave my techie teenage son this keyboard to test out for me and wow the feedback is nothing but positive!! The switches, he says, suit his personality because they are nice and quite just like him lol. He especially loves the RGB and the different program settings that it comes with. He loves the media keys and the magnetic palm rest. He spends a lot of time on his gaming computer and when the keyboard goes out the gaming goes out; this keyboard looks and feels like it will last a very long time for him!
I'm actually not even using this keyboard for gaming. I love the click of the keys and how it feels cleaner than a regular keyboard the way the keys are situated. Much easier to clean and keep crumbs out of. It also has the fun lighted features you can adjust that make it fun to use. The keys are responsive, the board is comfortable and I really like the feel.
I'll start out by saying that I am not a gamer and I've been using this computer to work from home. When it arrived the first thing I noticed was how beautifully packaged it was. I knew right away that it would be nice quality. I plugged it in and it lit up and I was so excited. I love the backlit keys so I can see in dim lighting. The control non makes it easy to adjust the brightness. I also like the magnetic arm rest. Other arm rests slide around and I'm constantly readjusting them. This one stays right where you want it too. The volume control buttons are a very convenient feature as well. So far I have not had any issues with this and would recommend it. The only thing that may bother some people is that it's not wireless and the keys are a bit loud when typing.
I can't say for sure how much faster response time this gaming mechanical keyboard it over a non gaming Logitech wireless keyboard (both 2.5Ghz or Bluetooth), but I like it and it seems to offer better response time in FPS games. The LED color lighting is great using the Monster Software, I have set the key lighting for WASD lighting. Overall I am impressed with this keyboard. My only gripe is that the keyboard is loud. The magnetic hand rest is a great idea, and it pretty comfortable coming from the Logitech Ergo K860 keyboard (which I still use). The layout if fine, but I am used to the K860 so I keep HITTING THE CAPS LOCK.
Linear keys are very smooth but also a bit scratchy if that matters to you. The switching between RGB modes is very simple and easy to get to, I didn't use their special software as I've only ever needed to simply see the keys in the dark. The magnetic palm rest was a welcome surprise to see but I like that the magnets are just enough to keep it there if you want it and not ruthlessly enforce precisely where the palm rest goes.
I got this gaming keyboard to try out, mainly because the keys all light up pretty cool. I let my adult grandson hook it up to get his opinion too, since I'm not very computer savvy. He said, that for gaming, it either has to do something, or it didn't have a certain function. So we put it on my desktop iMac and it works just fine. As long as it'll type and wotk like a regular keyboard, I'm happy wirh it!
The keyboard itself is fine and works good but there are a few hit and misses on this product. This lighting is pretty good and goes around the sides of the board and each key itself. They light up good but at times will definitely notice it going dim and for no reason and this is at night when there is absolutely no lights on and it's dark. Sometimes it just does not deliver the bright light that it does when the board first comes on which leads me to believe that it could be better. I really enjoy the big round control button on the upper right because it's the one attraction that really caught my eye and I liked a lot. I don't have trouble finding it in the dark. I can control brightness, volume and it is the one thing I admire about the keyboard the most. It really is not all it's cracked up to be other than the RGB lighting effects. The construction of the keyboard doesn't seem to be that good. It is cheaply made and not something that i would invest much money in. It probably won't last that long around my house and with my kids. I need to have something with better quality. I will have to say that the lights on the keyboard and big button is about all it has going for it because the rest of it is just OK. I do also like that it came with a pretty decent palm rest
