    I have one wrist shattered in an accident and carpal tunnel syndrome in the other. This is the first comfortable keyboard for me to use.

    Amazing keyboard, very easy to set up and the keys are super soft for gaming! Very easy to customize the key colors/patterns. With the added wrist rest support makes long game sessions very comfortable. I love everything about this keyboard although it was a bit more expensive compared to the chroma v2 withought the few extra keys and wrist support.

    Razer Synapse is a fantastic companion app that makes owning a Razer product such a satifying experience. You can adjust the chroma in any way you want and programe macros and layouts for different games that you play. The cusion is extremely comfortable and one of the key reasons I bought the keyboard. The key feel is amazing and much better than the competition in my opinion (I have many friends that PC game so I've had an opprotunity to feel a lot of different keyboards). Well worth the buy, though I reccomend going to your local Best Buy location if you can to test any keyboards they have on display so you know the feel is right for your preferance. Build quality is fantastic and shows that it's worth the money.

    I never had any sort of mechanical keyboards whatsoever but I read up on reviews and went with this one. The only thing I suggest is to make sure you do not buy it online. Buy it at the Best Buy store since online doesn't let you decide the switches. When you are at the store, they have one button of each of the three different colors and the orange is perfect. The green is too loud and clickty and the yellow is for pure gaming. The Orange is a switch that is a hybrid so you could type up a paper on it and use it for everyday typing. They yellow you will slip keys because it literally takes nothing to activate a button on the yellow so the yellow gives you a slight advantage on a game like LoL or DOTA2. I went ahead and also got the yellow tournament size to be able to pack up and take to LANs as the full size is not practical to travel with and won't fit in any bags.

    Honestly best keyboard I've ever owned. I spend hours customizing the color profiles. I probably spend more time customizing it than actually gaming. The keys are so smooth I type so much faster with this keyboard so I finish my school assignments in a flash and when it comes to gaming this thing is perfect. Milliseconds make all the difference and this is the keyboard you want when face to face with an opponent.

    I love this keyboard. The orange switches are perfect for typing and gaming. I am in graduate school right now and write several papers a week. This is the most comfortable keyboard I have used. Razer green switches are too loud for anything but gaming and Razer Yellow switches have no tactile feel so you make plenty typing errors when writing. This keyboard is perfect. I had tournament edition but returned it because I need a 10-key for my managerial finance and accounting classes. If I wasn't in school, I would have kept the tournament edition.

    My daughter is really into gaming. She's wanted this key board for a long time. It's a little pricey but she saved up. The colors are awesome and easy to use.

    I purchased the Orange Silent switch keyboard and was really happy with it, when typing, feels very positive in response. I like the various lighting schemes that you can choose from with fire being my favorite, followed by the reactive as a second choice.

    So, my awesome wife bought me this keyboard (from her parents) for Christmas. It's pretty awesome. Great keystroke, excellent backlighting with programmable templating. But most importantly, it has a FANTASTIC wrist wrest. Like seriously.

    I have the original one of these but bought this for a budd for his bday. Way better than the original! They fixed the lights on the top right indicating caps etc. the rest pad is so comfy and attached wth magnets!! Has new profiles the old version did not. Playing overwatch Diablo and other games with profiles is a treat as the keys light up accordingling for in game things like when your ultra is ready or when you need to heal in Diablo.

    Whether you are a gamer or just someone who is looking for a keyboard, this is definitely the one! The lighting looks good and professional with any setup, and the feel of the keyboard is absolutely unlike any other. I purchased both this (Orange Switches) and the Logitech G513 because I was torn on which to get. My opinion is to spend the extra $30. The overall quality and typing is a million times better.

    I LOVE this keyboard. I basically bought this, not because it was a gaming keyboard, but just for the colors that change. I love the fact I can choose different patterns. What is great, is, I work a lot at night, and don't need a light. The keyboard does it for me!
