Customer Reviews

An O.K. keyboard.
Let me start with the pros.

Pro:
1) Affordable
2) Blue LED Illumination.
3) Easy to type on.
4) Programmable buttons.
5) Great Software.

Now, for the good stuff.

Cons:
1) Useless side buttons. They are easy to hit. They put a Eject CD button right next to the enter on the keypad.
2) Blue LED does NOT turn off. There is no option to turn it off. The software doesn't have anything either.
3) Top of the keyboard attracts dust and gets scratched up WAY too easily.
4) Not worth the $60.00 price tag.
5) The lights are dim in many places.
6) Can't program the "Windows" key to something else.

Overall, it isn't bad. The cons outweigh the pros easily. The buttons are easy to hit, and very smooth. There is ghosting with the arrow keys, if you use them. Kind of frustrating the lights can't be turned off. Or, even turned brighter. Might as well spend 10-20 more and get the Razor keyboard itself.

Very Nice Affortable Keyboard
It's a very nice keyboerd with cool lights especialy in the dark. Very Nice.
Good Price. Oo it also has some shortcut keys.

Too flimsy
I have had this keyboard for approximately 6-8 months and I just have to say that I am dissappointed in the quality of this keyboard. I have had other Microsoft keyboards that are not supposed to be gaming keyboards that have lasted me longer than this one did. I will not be buying this keyboard ever again.
