As with all Human Interface Devices, from mice and keyboards to OCZ’s NIA, there’s an obligatory getting used to period before you can surely say if you like something or not. We have been using OCZ’s Alchemy Illuminati as our primary keyboard for a...

okay product... which leds were brighter

Keyboard is your standard keyboard, although the backspace key is normal sized and not large like most standard qwerty keyboards. That's the biggest complaint I have about this keyboard. Also wish the led lights were brighter so that I could see it...

Pretty good keyboard

 

The keys start to break in after a good bit of use on the keyboard. Some of my less used keys are pretty stiff but the ones I use frequently are pretty fluid now. A suggestion to OCZ for future models of this keyboard - make the backspace key full...

It's a good keyboard for the price range ; The backlighting is pretty even and the two color choices offer some customization ; The built in palm rest is nice ; The rubberized keys feel better than normal plastic keys ; Plug and play ; The small travel...
