    i love this keyboard it’s very quiet and easy to use. the rgb is absolutely amazing too! :) the only problem with this was that the switch for my “i” key spams sometimes but anyone else’s keyboards probably wouldn’t, other than that nothing else is wrong with this product

    I bought this keyboard because I needed something to type code and play video games with. I saw that this had fair reviews and decided to go for it. After having it for some months I am switching to a different keyboard. The keys are way too sensitive, I keep having to delete extra characters when I'm typing. It's also really wide and not really good for gaming or working. The price of the keyboard was too much in my own opinion. Then for the RGB, you have to keep opening the hyper X app for it to work properly.

    I bought this keyboard because of the Kailh speed silver switches. The Kailh switches are the fastest there are and perform exceptionally. This keyboard is a big step up compared to my previous keyboard in every way. Pros: Keys have a nice texture to them and have not gotten slippery (yet) The RGB is the best I have seen and is very bright Super low input delay Software is actually pretty good now (I head it used to be bad) other wrist rests work on it. I use one I got from my old keyboard which was magnetic. It magnetizes to this board even though it isn't meant to. Cons: The feet close themselves sometimes when moving the keyboard forward slightly. They just seem too short. The pudding keys do not let light travel through some of the secondary functions. So, for example, F9 has a secondary function printed on it that shows it mutes the audio but the light only shows through F9 and not the mute symbol. The symbol appears white and is hard to see at night even with the brightness turned up. Trigger actions do not save in memory. Effects and color values save to memory but unfortunately trigger actions such as fade (which makes keys change color when you hit them) does not. I cannot fully rest hands on the keys due to the actuation point being so low. I have to use a little bit of muscle to pull my hand/fingers up enough so that I do not press keys. (My hand is pretty small and definitely not heavy) the extra USB on the board is only for charging and does not work for controllers or transferring files etc..

    I really like this keyboard for gaming. Keys are super comfortable and the size/layout of the left-most keys help with FPS games. Love the audible click without the physical resistance. Very responsive. However, it is taking me time to adjust to regular typing for work. Switched from a wireless membrane switch keyboard to this so it takes some getting used to. The longer throw on the keys slows me down a bit and increases number of misspelled words. I'll get used to it, but be warned if you're going to use this for work too, and are currently using a low profile membrane switch keyboard.

    Well built keyboard, the silver speed switches are smooth, light touch to use but still have food feedback. The pudding design keys look nice, neat looking glow to them.

    All these companies slap a "gaming" name to their junk hardware and deem it gaming and mark up the price. The software for this keyboard is complete garbage. It's slow opening up. It's terrible slow detecting the keyboard. I just did a firmware update and this worse its condition. I have been using it for less than 2 hours and I'm gonna return this crap.

    Bought it to replace the stock keyboard that came with an HP Omen. This is so much better and my son loves it. It has a great feel and the lights look great. It's also very sturdy.

    I got this keyboard because it looked really nice. The keycaps are high quality, and the keyboard itself feels solid. So what's the issue then? The types of switches this keyboard uses. The lightest tap will have the key register. I thought I could get used to it, and decided to try since I liked the way it felt to press the keys and the keyboard felt high quality. After a few months, I give up. I constantly make errors when typing and I find myself spending way too much time fixing those errors. I type fairly quickly and on normal keyboards, fairly accurately. While typing an email a few days ago I just got frustrated enough with how sensitive the keys are and decided to buy another keyboard. So in short, the lightest tap will cause a key to register. This will cause most users to make a lot of errors when typing. I'd recommend something else.

    I got this on sale and was excited to try it. I actually really disliked the look of the pudding keys, made the keyboard look cheap and the colors not show very well unless you were on the rainbow mode. I ended up getting a Corsair K70 with brown keys and its SO much better.

    Quick shipment, quality keyboard. Not quite as loud as I would have expected for a mechanical. Lights up strong colors. Keys are a little harder to engage which would be a factor to consider when playing for lengthy periods of time. Overall nice compact board.

    This is my son's keyboard, I inherited his old one (good deal for me). A few of the keys malfunctioned on the unit shortly after purchase. The manufacturer quickly shipped the replacements and my son (high school) easily replaced them.
