Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Saitek PK17U Cyborg Gaming Keyboard with Tri-Color Backlighting

Customer Review: Not bad, would like better macros
Summary: 4 Stars

I gave this four stars, instead of three, because it's a gaming keyboard and I am not using it for gaming. I wanted a durable, comfortable keyboard with backlighting, and that's what I got, no complaints. It's also a beauty.

However if you're thinking about this for standard use, be aware the macros are only programmable for key combinations and mouse click (but not position). I had hoped to be able to program file locations in a simple manner (as I had with the MS Media Pro Keyboard that preceded this).

I did eventually figure out how to program the keys to open folders, but it was pretty tricky and -- more to the point -- the Macro Software is extremely unintuitive, not especially flexible and the documentation is terrible.

I also experienced a couple glitches (key repeating, not stuck on the keyboard, stopped after unplugging and replugging). It doesn't appear to be a major repeating problem, but if it recurs, I would reevaluate.

So thumbs up for the keyboard, thumbs down for the software.
