Excellent keyboard
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This keyboard is physically solid and easy to type on. I use it on my engineering computer, and the gaming features work extremely well even though it is not a gaming environment. The volume knob, the number pad that can switch ends, the backlight, and the non-slip feet are especially useful.

Very satisfied
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I just bought this keyboard tonight and just got done playing farcry2. This is a very nice keyboard. Macos are nice for programming your own settings. I have just started playing Pc gmaes so this is my first gaming keyboard so I can't really compare it with any other keyboards for gaming. It is a vast improvement from my old keyboard that was about 10 years old and definetly not suited for gaming. I haven't found any keys that dont work yet, although it is a little different to type on. All in all i would say this is a nice keyboard for 70 dollars. Thanks Best Buy!!!!!

An almost perfect keyboard
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Gorgeous lighting. If you can't see every key in solid dark you must really learn touch typing. Why MS didn't add adjustible feet for raising the back of this keyboard is beyond me. This is the 1st keyboard I have ever used that is flat on my keyboard tray. While I'm sure that I'll get used to a flat keyboard, I shouldn't have to. Everything else is perfect! Setting up macros is a breeze and the keypad can be placed on either side of the keyboard which is very convenient. Give this beautiful peripheral a whirl I think you'll be very happy with this purchase!

A Great gaming keyboard
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I love this keyboard, all the keys light up with led's the space around the keys are also lit as well. Love how the number pad switches sides to become a gaming pad with 30 Programmable keys. I love the back lighting dimmer knob for precise lighting. like the cruse control and Marco record buttons as well as the 12 S keys on the left side of the keyboard. Like the design and mode switching. I only wish it had an LCD Screen on it. The price was a bit steep at just around $99 With shipping and taxes, but because I had so many bestbuy gift cards I got this keyboard Free!!!!!!!

Awesome gaming keyboard!

This is a fantastic gaming keyboard. It has everything you would want. Great keyboard response and feel, adjustable lit keys, nice big volume control, way easy to use macros, position switchable number pad. Easy to setup and use. It's great for more than just gaming because the keyboard has terrific key response and the feel is excellent. A must buy for any gamer.

Excellent Gaming Keyboard!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is an excellent keyboard, both in quality, and features. First off, the keys are excellent for typing, and everyday use. The Background lighting for the keys illuminate both the key area, and the letters on the keys! The switchable keypad is a great feature that allows you to add up to 30 programable macros! My only complaint is the software does not lend itself to being user friendly. There is a learning curve, however a small one. Come now Microsoft, you made Windows 7 an awesome OS, now make your gaming software for your hardware just as great!
