Pros: Has a wrist rest, LED lights, Audio and USB input jacks on the keyboard.

Cons: Quite flimsy, Buttons feel pretty bad after a bit of use. Bad ghosting

I purchased this keyboard back in February 2011. I am still using it today (but am very near choosing an upgrade) and I cannot say I would recommend this keyboard. The buttons feel horrible and sticky and only get worse over time, especially the WASD area. Most likely because i use those keys the most.

The thing that annoys me the most about this keyboard is the terrible anti-ghosting. In BF3 I use the keyboard to fly jets + helli so i use both the wasd keys and the normal arrow keys. I hate it when im trying to fly and then realize I'm not actually turning because I am holding in too many keys in. I think that is unacceptable for a gaming keyboard.

I paid $145 NZ (about $120 US) for this keyboard and I feel it is not worth the money. I think a $50 NZ price tag would be more suitable. Try to avoid this one rolleyes.gif

Pros: LED Backlight, touch screen, wrist rest.

Cons: Extremely flimsy, keys get stuck, thickest cable I've ever seen, no good for typing.

Introduction:

This is a terrible disappointment. I've not once found a keyboard that is as terrible as this one.

Review:

When I first got it, it wasn't too bad, but after 3-4 months of normal use, it turned ugly. The keys became extremely stiff, and some even got stuck. The Enter, Backspace, and Shift keys wouldn't go down if you pushed the wrong side of them. And the space made an irritating squeak.

It's build quality is extremely poor. It flexes alot, and creaks. It was very light (meaning it was made of very poor plastic).

Then the worst part is how much it cost (partly my fault for not researching) but It cost me $130.00!
Now, I did pay too much, and I never researched for other boards, so it is my fault really, but still, $130.00 darn dollars is insane for even the best membrane keyboards.

Conclusion:

Warning. I strongly advice against getting this keyboard.

Pros: fun to look at

Cons: not very practical

I agree with the 'keys will randomly stop working' comment previously posted. Mine is like that too... say you're playing WoW and you use 'wasd' to run around... you'd just hold the 'w' to run forward... sometimes it will only take 1 step forward... driver issue for sure... I can either unplug it for a minute, or fiddle around with the caps lock/num lock buttons and sometimes it will come back.

The rubberized coating has a nice feel but wears easily. overall more like a laptop feel with the short key strokes.

I got mine for $45.00 open box at Best Buy... but it still isn't worth that much.

This is a very simple gaming keyboard. The build quality is not that great and the overall feel of the keyboard is cheap. The poor LED distribution and brightness makes it difficult to see the keys both in the light and in the dark, also keys will stop working randomly from time to time.

The keyboard does have a very nice design which may appeal to a lot, however due to its poor quality, I cannot recommend this keyboard.
