    Incredible keyboard

    In a nutshell, this keyboard is everything I wanted. However, it may not be exactly what you want. I was looking at the Huntsman Elite for the dedicated media keys but I really wanted Razer Green switches which meant I was going to end up buying the Blackwidow V2. Sure enough, I found out about this keyboard, which is basically a cheaper version of the Huntsman Elite but with Razer Green switches. I thought it was too good to be true. I've had it for only a day now but let me tell you, it truly is an amazing keyboard. If you have used a Razer product before then you know how impressive their chroma lighting is. There is a USB pass through and audio pass through on the left hand side of the keyboard. The switches are clicky and tactile but they are a new and improved Green switch, with walls on the sides of the switch in order to reduce key wobble. It is made of military grade brushed metal which is virtually fingerprint proof. The included wrist rest is the best I've ever used. The audio dial is a wonderful addition and it can also be customized in the Synapse 3 software to nearly turn it into a multimedia macro dial. I don't know what else to say. Everything about this board is spot on, no hiccups on my end. If I had to choose some cons - it would be that the keyboard can feel cold at times but that's just because of the metal body. There are no macro keys besides for the dial, if you're into that sort of thing. I'm sitting here trying to think of anything else I don't like about it and I'm stumped. Get this board! You won't be disappointed.

    Excellent keyboard for a teenager needing some gaming character in his room. Easy to swap out keycaps with other keys to stylize as desires. Quality unlike the generics. Has been used for the last 18 months without any issues whatsoever.

    Extremely well-built mechanical keyboard for the price. Very responsive which is nice for gaming, the RGB lighting looks great and works well with razors add on program. This is by far my favorite keyboard that I have bought, and owned. At this point I have purchased two of these and will probably stick with them especially when you find them on sale for a great deal. The other thing that is really well thought out and built is the wrist support at the bottom. It has a magnet on it that keeps it in place with a keyboard and the cushion on it is extremely comfortable. I really like the ability to control my media with the added keys and ease-of-use. No

    This is my first mechanical keyboard. I think the workmanship is very exquisite and the sound of typing is very refreshing. Every time I enjoy typing on the keyboard. The full keyboard customization function is also very good, and it can't be separated after using it. Finally, I must talk about chroma of razer. I liked it very much when I watched the introduction video on the Internet. After I use it, I feel that the software interface is very intuitive, and the lighting effects are also the most beautiful I have ever seen.

    Gamers and Traders will love this keyboard. This is my first time using a mechanical keyboard and let me tell you something, this is by far the most satisfying keyboard I've ever used. Each stroke you hear that satisfying click. Makes you want to type more and more. The RGB lighting is a plus. If you're looking for a mechanical keyboard, this is an excellent entry-level keyboard. you will never be disappointed.

    I’ll never write a bad review about razer products ever! I recently went from the Razer Anansi MMO keyboard and this thing is a serious upgrade. Compared to other keyboards there’s nothing better, for a full keyboard. The keys aren’t annoyingly loud and have a lot of clickyness to them. The razer software makes personalizing this thing even better. The handrest that’s included is very comfortable and i can’t imagine not using it. The overall design looks amazing and the wire is a nice touch. Not that thin piece of wire that at any moment would snap off the keyboard if you’re not careful. There’s a usb and an audio plug on the side of the keyboard which, if you have Razer headphones is a really neat feature. Makes wired headphones not feel so wired as you’ll have to have the wire run a foot or two. I can’t recommend it enough. Best in Class in my opinion.

    Very nice so far, abit loud with the green switches but if you don’t mind great keyboard. The chroma effects are very nice, very easy to change effects, and looks great. For the great sale price you can’t do much better. Would recommend!

    I have several Razer products and have been very happy. I was looking to upgrade from a Logitech keyboard that had standard keys. I was looking for a key that was more actuated. The keyboard is very responsive and it gives great feedback. The Razer Synapse software allows your to adjust the RGB to any preference from Black and no color to any color scheme. I currently am using the fire pattern that makes the keyboard look like a campfire. Love the look.

    So far so great. Havent had any issues using the Razer Synapses app to customize the RBG. Love the green switches which adore me to feel and hear when I type. Also like the wrist rest that it came with. Overall worth is especially if you get it on sale.

    I'm a sucker for Razer products. This is my second keyboard. First one was Cynosa but only lasted 11 months. Surprised to see this on sale for $84.99 so it's a no brainer. Very well constructed. A bit heavy. Very clicky and responsive. Perfect for gaming. Lacks RGB lightning and Synapse 3 is not compatible with Mac so I am stuck with the default settings.

    Its is a great keyboard for gaming, typing and more. It does take some getting use to. If you have never used a green switch keyboard you may miss a few buttons when typing fast. On the other hand for gaming pretty much 0 problems from my experience.

    TOTAL UPGRADE

    Coming from non-mechanical keyboards this is a total upgrade. The lighting and handrest are luxurious upgrades. The materials used and feel are next level. I bought the Basilisk V2 and again a total upgrade from past mice. Of course, I had to buy the FireFly V2 mouse pad. This was purchased for my son which he loves. The look and feel made me order the upgraded version of both the Huntsman Elite and Basilisk Elite along with the FireFly V2. I only wished I would of pulled the trigger when I bought his as the Huntsman Elite was $160 and I missed it by a day on Amazon for the same price. Prices fluctuate the seet spot for this keyboard is $99.99 so if you see it buy it. Razer also has great deals right now on bundles.

    Love the the Color scheme and the different modes. Looks cool. Rist rest is good as well. It is mechanical with green switches. Recommend buying it if is on sale and if it is not on sale I would still recommend it, it’s just a bit pricey.

    I bought this keyboard and it exceeded my expectations. I use it for games such as League of Legends, Assassin's Creed and osu!. I have not had any issue with this keyboard. The software is easy to install and the different lighting effects are really cool. The keyboard has very responsive keys. When I am playing a game and I have to re-click a key I don't have to press it down all the way for the key to respond as clicked in the game.
