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

Hey mate nice review, I know exactly what you mean about the keys. I upgraded about a week ago to this Sidewinder X4, it's excellent and only cost's 55 bucks with free shipping: http://www.computerlounge.co.nz/components/componentview.asp?r=p&partid=12381
Hey thanks man! That KB looks really nice. Just might go for that one. Still going smoothly?
