    Beautiful keyboard

    This keyboard is a great addition for those looking to experience the click-clack of mechanical keys, but not have to drop significant cash. The cherry blues that come with this keyboard offer a great clicking sound without the high-pitch metal coil ring that you might get from a full mechanical keyboard using the same switches. It is tactile, and the RGBs are great. There are a number of options for alternating patterns. Additionally, I was sold by the side LED screen where you could modify keyboard settings without having to open the full on SteelSeries application--though you can do much more with that app. I also purchased the Rival650 (wireless mouse) by SteelSeries, and it has been an awesome combo for personal and work use. The number pad is great and the keyboard is crisp and flawless. If I had to buy a new keyboard again, I might go with a wireless option that offers USB charging, and also perhaps look into a 60% keyboard design to gain back some space on my table top. The 4 out of 5 for Ease of use refers more to the Macros functionality and setting that up using the SteelSeries software. If you want to learn it, you will have to spend a little time figuring out how to configure the custom macros (I still haven't had time to learn it myself). Overall, this is a solid quality build AND the magnetic palm rest bar is clutch.

    This is my first gaming keyboard that I’ve owned. With all the choice available, and there are plenty, I decided on this one. To me Steelseries is newer company that I’ve only recently heard of compared to other industry heavyweights like Corsair or Razer. I’m thoroughly happy with my choice on Steelseries. They have five or six different keyboards available but I felt like this one is a great price with the features I was looking for without having to spend more. It’s clicky but not too clicky, the ENTIRE keyboard is addressable RGB with the Steelseries Engine software, and there’s a cool OLED mini screen that you can adjust or change to your liking. I can’t seem to get it to customize but that’s most likely my own inability to do so. They claim it’s water resistant but I’m not willing to test that out but I suppose it’s a plus for accidents. Overall a great keyboard with many features and low price. 5/5

    So I bought this out of impulse, however, I love it. It’s so much better to type that on my MacBook keyboard. Love the volume control on the right. The support for your hands is nice and comfy, love for gaming. My issue is that I didn’t do full research and didn’t realize it was a blue switch which is very loud. Steel series I love. Just for this keyboard I would prefer to get a red one that has the feel but less clicky

    the keys are just as expected wit the blue profile. Having the magnetic wrist wrest is a godsend. Matte finish is a fingerprint magnet, but a great product nonetheless. Software is available for both Windows and Mac, and very user friendly with unlimited customizability.

    The product that I am using is Fantastic. The metal plate with hard plastic keys and a custom small display, to the RGB lights is very good. High quality and custom buttons used for playlists such as Spotify I highly recommend it

    Solid Hybrid Keyboard

    Solid keyboard with beautiful customizable RGB. You can download a gif and have it display on the mini screen at the top right of the keyboard as well as toggle between modes, which I thought was a nice feature. Keys are very clicky and responsive, much like blue mechanical keys. Overall worth the purchase.

    I find this to be a nice a keyboard. The wrist rest is really nice since it isn't made out of foam it maintains its shape and is also has nice feeling rubber coating. To get the full functionality from this keyboard can be a bit trick since the instructions to the software are vague.
