Consumer review (newegg.com)

WoW Player say thumbs up

 

The macro system used I have seen cause key lag at hight points, it also interfeared with a homemade addon for WoW, and I kept getting a Interface error, so I had to make a few major updates to it. Overall I would suggest this keyboard since I like the...

Back Light(+1), 3 colors(+1), Rubber keys on keypad (QWEASD,space,shift,ctrl) (+1), In-game control of meadia player (+1), condinced size(+1), Audio ports (+0.5), USB ports (+0.5), Change any key on board to anything you want! (+2), the Z hotkey (+1),...

Number pad(-1), the 8 key and ctrl key on keypad are dimmer than the other lights (-1), USB ports don't have much power (Cant power my cheap speakers or my cataclysm WoW mouse) (-2, one for mouse and one for speakers), macro system used (see other...

Consumer review (newegg.com)

not too bad for gaming, 10key is horrid

 

I still gave this board 4 stars, come on, it glows blue, I prefer to play in the dark, so the lighted keyboard is a big plus. the game pad is functional enough and relatively well layed out, though I wish they had done something more to distinguish the...

lighted keyboard, 3 colors, red, pink or blue, personally I like the blue ; For WoW I'm still getting used to the gamepad, the kids don't like it, but I think it is something of an improvement, takes a lot of getting used to, but not as much as the new...

The ten key pad is so non-standard in it's layout as to make it practically non-functional. I guess they were trying to not make the keyboard too terribly wide, but it is awkward to try and use the ten key because they put the zero key below the 1...

Great for me!

 

I went from a merc to this and the lighting is all the differnce i'll never go back to a non lighted keyboad.

Fits my hand and my style of game play, FPS mostly and RPG's It may be recertified but I can't tell the difference from new. The lighting is the best I have seen and makes all the difference

NONE (wasn't free)

it went OK

 

solid 4/5 in mint condition. VERY akward to use and takes time getting use to. even after weeks of intense use i still fumble when trying to reach certain keys. I really like how they raised certain keys and some have a different texture but i wish...

The "gamepad" is relatively well designed, and thats probly the only reason why someone would want to buy this keyboard. phone + mic jacks are great but did not work well on mine. 2 usb ports. long and sturdy connection cable

Recieved it with a huge scratch next to the audio jacks ; my headphones made a humming sound when jacked into the keyboard (stopped humming when plugged directly to PC) ; some leds seem less bright than others ; some keys are rounded and can get quite...

Great Keyboard!

 

I used it for one night before I shipped it on my Old Republic healer, and I don't want to play without it!

Awesome feel/pressure for keys ; The gaming area is great, can't be beat

Received a keyboard with a broken spacebar. RMA'd and awaiting new one

Gamers Beware!

 

I made the mistake of buying this keyboard on a competitor site when Newegg was selling it $15 cheaper. That won't happen again. Anyway, my review went there for the purpose of wanting the "Verified Purchase" tag so my review would appear more legit to...

Beautiful design, genius NUMPAD (if you don't use it often), and bright backlighting in red, blue, or purple

Look closely at the left-sided "gaming terrain", especially the Z, X, ALT, and C keys. Notice anything missing

Always something

 

awesome gaming board all together and i have found a work around for my only problem. look forward to stress testing it when SWTOR comes out and ill be sure to update this review if anything changes.

all the buttons ur savage lil mmo heart could evar want within reach of the fingers that need to use them. Sweet color changing keys ad a nice perc as well. The layout takes some getting used to but once u get it all set up for YOU then its awesome!...

THE ONLY con and the reason it gets 4 of 5 eggs is that there is no wrist rest!! For any medium to heavy gamer the fatigue experienced can turn to pain very quickly. Also, because the bottom edge of the keyboard is different around the added buttons on...
