Customer Ratings & Reviews

I have tremors and this keyboard helps so I am not hitting the key twice without noticing. The back-light helps me to see the letters/numbers easily. I am thoroughly in love with this product.

Works well. The software is buggy. Everytime need to reinstall the software to change the rgb effects.

I ordered 3 keyboards. My kids like them. I would put 5 stars, but one keyboard was defective. For Space and letter N red lights are not working. When switching to white those keys have blue light, because red is off. Very disappointed, especially at this moment when I cannot exchange or return because of quarantine. And it won't available for exchange - it is sold out in Best Buy. looks like I will keep it but next time will think twice before ordering from Best Buy.

This product was just added to the shelves of my local Best Buy today. Since I like new hardware, I decided to pick it up to test out and see how good a $49.99 Mechanical Keyboard can be. This is a Tzumi Alpha Gaming Viper Mechanical Keyboard. The Bandit name seems to be to prevent confusion with the naming scheme for Razer products. So far the typing experience has been decent, with clicky BSUN blue mechanical switches, double injection molded keycaps with a pretty clear script on them. The housing is all plastic, but it is fairly rigid for that. There is no noticeable deck flex while using during even intense gaming moments. It has 4 large rubber feet to prevent the keyboard from sliding across your desk, as well as an angle adjustment that also includes rubber feet, for those people who prefer a tilt (like myself). The cable routing underneath is nice, as is the braided USB cable. The built-in wrist rest is a little shorter than my preference, but a nice touch for the price point. The logo in the wrist rest lights up white, and does not have any lighting control. The keys are all individually RGB backlit, with 11 lighting modes without additional software configuration required. The software is decent for an affordable gaming keyboard, and allows full control of the backlight as well as programmable keys for every key on the board. It does have a Windows key lockout function that is nice for those moments when you don't want to potentially interrupt your gaming by opening the start menu. The key stability is pretty nice, with only minor wobble on the shift keys. Overall, this feels like a good keyboard, and an excellent deal for the price. The only criticism I have is the lack of dedicated media keys, but they are available as secondary commands with the FN key and the F-keys.

I finally broke down and bought a new PC. My old keyboard was a little worse for wear also, so after doing a bit of a search I came across this little gem. I love the feel of the keys and the ease with with I can type. I'm not a gamer so I don't really use all the keys, but it's still a fantastic keyboard and the back lighting makes it easier to type in the dark. My only issue is there were no instructions in the box, so I can't figure out if there is a way to change the lights on it. No biggie though.

I liked the backlighting, and quality feel of this keyboard, but it is NOISY and clacks with every keypress! It's not appropriate for business use because others can hear you type. Annoying noise, but otherwise good, and you can change the colors of the backlighting, which is neat. It has a nice numeric keypad and is easy to connect. It has lots of extra convenience keys for gaming or productivity.

I actually bought this keyboard for work because I needed one asap and there was a best buy across the street. I would NEVER use this keyboard with my Rig for gaming. I only gave it 3 stars because of the price. Its a mechanical keyboard for $25, you shouldn't expect much. I can assure you that the build quality of the keyboard is cheap. This keyboard comes with clicky/heavy blue switches as well. I personally use the cooler master ck552 and got it on sale for $60. I prefer that board with its Gateron Red switches over any Corsair Cherry Red switch so don't go thinking I'm saying spend a fortune on a keyboard, just don't get something because its cheap either. Pros: Price RGB Cons: Cheap Quality Ugly Font Bad RGB Software

Especially in dark surroundings this is a very good keyboard. My only reason for not giving 5 stars is the software's inability to logically save settings and it overwriting earlier saved settings on exit. The keyboard itself is great, albeit rather loud.

I bought this as a replacement for my work keyboard now that I work remotely. The lights are cool and remove the boredom of working at home, but there are two problems: 1) the CAPS LOCK key doesn't always work 2) some of the functions on a regular keyboard don't work here. Granted, this is primarily a gaming keyboard, but it's a keyboard nevertheless and should function as such. But the lights are cool...

Recently bought an wonderful new pc, but the keyboard was flimsy. I wanted a back-lighted keyboard, and this one was on sale. It has very substantial keys, which click as you type. You can adjust the brightness and color of the keys. So I just use the dimmest white color--not interested in all the flashing capabilities, I am not a gamer. It is wired, so you won't have to replace batteries. (USB connection)

Really nice keyboard. Lighting for each key can be individually controlled or you can choose from preset lighting/patterns. Keys are sturdy and give a nice click when used...almost to the point where it's a little noisy to use. Might be a little difficult to transition to from a laptop type keyboard as it has a totally different feel.

I bought this 2 years ago and it is still working great! The keyboard makes a very satisfying clickity clack with every keystroke. The light schemes are really cool! I believe however two keys have stopped lighting up but I haven't tried to troubleshoot. All of the keys respond well on screen, however.

My eyesight has gotten dimmer over the years and I felt that a backlit keyboard may be a plus for me. Shopped around and found this one. I just love it! It does all kinds of fancy light stuff, but I just keep it to 1 color. Sure has made things easier for me! I know this was rated for gamers and I am not a gamer. But I would recommend this to someone who needs to see their keyboard better (aging eyes and such).

Great mechanical keyboard. Nice and clicky. I would recomend it.

Very clicky, but works well for gaming. RGB lighting is very bright and you can contrl the light settings from the keyboard. Sturdy and well made.

This is a good quality key board! My wife complains on how loud it is!

After having a puppy and coffee accident resulting in destroying my other keyboard I needed a quick replacement. I found this keyboard from Alpha Gaming on clearance at the local best buy. I like it a lot. The LEDs are excellent with many controls. And for those that like the sound of a mechanical clicking keyboard, this is the one for you! I only wish I had bought the other one on clearance.

Easy to use keyboard for an unreal price. There is definitely better but not for this price tbh.

I was in the market for a new backlit keyboard for gaming, as the glare from my monitor made it difficult to see the keys if the room lights were not lit. After reading the reviews, I decided to give the Alpha a shot. It's got a good heft to it and the keys feel good under my fingers. But my favorite feature, is the ability to customize the lighting on each individual key. Definitely money well spent.

Both of my sons are gamers and they love these keyboards so I decided to get one to see if I would like it, and YES it is awesome. I needed a keyboard that lit up because it is dark in my office, but what a bonus having all of these pretty colors! It has several different settings for the color display also. I love my new keyboard. It was a great purchase and I am very happy with how fast it was delivered.
