Summary: 4 Stars
This is a nice keyboard for the money. Good key response, feels solid. There are a couple extra keys for macros, not overkill like the G11 from Logitech. All black with no silver accents, so it looks sharp. Has good coverage as far as the blue lights are concerned. The function keys along the top are a little dark, but its not bad. Has a nice leather'ish wrist rest that comes along with it.
The only problem I have had with this is (I believe) software related. The Razor utility that comes along with it that allows you to program the different keys. It worked great for a couple weeks for me, then I started having problems. Seems like something is always pushing the right direction arrow key. Or pushing left then right over and over again. It isn't right away, I can get about 4-5 minutes of good use out of it before this happens. If the utility loads you can not stop this problem, even if you terminate the process. If you pull the USB and re attach, sometimes you can get another good 5 mins out of it. I had to uninstall the Razor software to correct the problem. Rendering the extra keys useless.
Still, I'd rather lose those keys than the functionality of the entire keyboard. I'm sure they will release a revision at some point to correct it. Its still only v 1.0
Customer Review: Good board for those with more to do than just play games
Summary: 4 Stars
Pros:
- Sticky feet. As long as the board is not tilted on its rear feet, this thing is going NOWHERE.
- Backlit keys. Very nice implementation. Easy to see unlike Saitek II which were much too dim.
- Short cut keys. Very handy for both games and non-game applications.
- Good feedback on key presses. You'll know when you pressed a key.
Cons:
- Very stiff keys. Requires heavier key press than normal keyboards. Seems optimized for WASD pressing rather than report writing. This means some mistyping in non-game situations but not too bad once you get used to the stiffness.
- Smooth plastic microsoft bezel. This collects dust out of the air like a swiffer collects dust off the floor. Pretty annoying but does not affect function.
- BIG. The keyboard is much bigger than it seems like it should be. If you have a small desk and you want to use the wrist rest be warned - it may not fit. Check the product dimensions first!
