Consumer review (newegg.com)

totally usless - Don't buy this!

Don't waste your money. Its not Newegg's fault, but they should test these products better before marketing them.

Looks Pretty, lights up

Lasted about 15 minutes. worked great until I put it "standby" mode. Never came up again. I even tried to install it in two other computers and neither of them would even recognize the new hardware

A disappointment

The Saitek here on Newegg has a slightly brighter backlight, better key feedback, and a proper ENTER key. It costs just a couple of dollars more as of this review, because shipping is not free for the LOGISYS:...

Low profile, decent wrist rest

Backlight is very dim and poorly distributed, keys have disappointing feedback (bad for fast typing), inappropriate and non-standard ENTER key layout ; The ENTER key is a nightmare, because instead of being next to the apostrophe, the backslash is...

Nice keyboard

I have two other illuminated keyboards, the Razer Lycosa and then Logitech 920-000914. Both keyboards are clearly nicer than this one. However, both of the name brand boards cost 80 dollars a piece, and I wouldn't call either of them twice as nice as...

Looks good, works good, comfortable, cheap, nice keyboard

None that I have encountered after using it everyday for a few months

LOGISYS Computer KB208BK Black 104 Normal Keys 15 Function Keys USB or PS/2 Standard Two Color (Blue/Red) Character-Illuminated Keyboard - Retail

I'm afraid if I get used to this keyboard I will never type correctly again. Wish I'd only paid 1/3 the price I did or gone for an eclipse or logitech. I might just move all the keys around like a crazy person b/c this keyboard has officially dropped...

Hot keys all work, I like the how the strips on the side emit light. Black finish is nice, feels solid

This keyboard is weird. Plain and simple. You feel like an idiot typing because the enter button is halfway to Australia, and the "/" key is to the right of the comma. It should be illegal to change keyboard layouts like that. Lights are o.k. but are...

Impressed

The dolphin's splashin', gettin' everybody all wet, but this ain't seaworld, this as real as it gets.

My brother just bought this board and I have to say for the price he payed for it I'm pretty impressed, it has a nice feel and looks great

None really

Illuminated keybaord

This is a great "eye catcher" for your computer so its worth the what less then 30 bucks.

Very elegant looking. Easy install. Looks great with my setup. Lights on the side make it very sharp looking

Wish it lit up a bit brighter, but im sure it will come night time :)

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Terrible keyboard from a programmers perspective !

Be warned, the keyboard buttons will get stuck about every 5 minutes of constant typing, and the button if unstuck will keep writing itself. Get the G11 if you are interested in illumination, razer lycosa or something of higher end, Yes they are more...

If the illumination was even I would say "Illumination

Once i got it was very excited to see how it is ; however, when I connected it to the computer, everything started to get messed up. First of all, if the keys are not pressed straight but more from the side (natural way of typing) they keys get stuck...

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Great except for THE ENTER KEY!!!

I have it at the end of a 20 foot extension cable and all keys seem to work 100%. I can sit on the couch in the dark and surf the 'net. What more can I ask for? Answer: an L shaped Enter key. Okay, enough on that.

Great illumination, and the choice between red and blue is nice. It's thin, and I have not had trouble with that like some other reviewers. It seems durable enough to me

I touch type AND THE ODD SHAPED ENTER KEY IS ENOUGH FOR ME TO SEND THIS BACK. What's wrong with the old L shaped Enter key? It should be mandatory on keyboards. I keep hitting "\" when I mean to hit Enter. I know, I should have seen that when ordering...
