Consumer review (newegg.com)

Solid, functional keyboard + great customer support

...but that second con turns into a pro. Excellent customer service. I emailed the company that my keyboard was having issues, and they were able to immediately replace/refund the keyboard through NewEgg. Thanks, Jorge!

-Great value -Very responsive, functional

-Macro keys actually function as the function keys at the top of the keyboard, so they're unhelpful -Had a technical issue after a number of months.

No extra keycaps as advertised.

Decent for the price, but get your act together with the false advertising.

Reasonable build quality for the price. Macro keys work as advertised. Not full rollover, but for what it is, it works well.

- I disliked how separate keycaps were advertised but not provided - The enter key is an ancient layout. Took some getting used to.

Great keyboard for the money!

I have not changed any of the keys to the blue ones, nor have I changed key speeds or anything like that. Just using the keyboard for some mild gaming and general internet searching.

So far I have nothing bad to say about this keyboard...

No problems have appeared yet.

Difficult to get used to

Overall, good keyboard for the price if you are looking for anti-ghosting. If you are looking for a standard layout, don't buy it. If you do, it will take some getting used to.

Repsonds well, keys all work. Cheap gaming keyboard. Anti-Ghosting.

I knocked off an egg for the layout, but it was partially my fault for diving into a good deal without checking first. The "Enter" key is an important key while gaming and is designed in an "L" shape instead of your standard rectangle. This can be very...

Not worth it

Good if you don't want to use the wrist rest, have a PC and are into cheap keyboards.

Cheap ; Not 10 keyless ; Macro buttons

If you are a regular home-row typist, this is 100% not the keyboard for you. The detail in the exact middle of the thin wrist rest puts your hand at an awkward angle while typing ; The swappable keys and key puller are NOT included and are available...
