Good piece of kit
It is only a keyboard after all, but the quality and feel is important - especialy if you use one a lot.

Reliable backlit gaming keyboard
This is basically a rebranded Saitek Eclipse keyboard, which I have owned before, and it is great for playing games (including FPS) in a dimmed room. There are no extra programmable keys, but having owned many gaming keyboards, they have never been...

Totally awesome keyboard
Bought this keyboard for my son's birthday for gaming and he is very happy with it, the keys light up red you can set them to bright or dark or off, and the keys are very quiet, overall a comfy keyboard to use.

Great keyboard
Excellent keyboard worth every cent.
Great mechanical keyboard with satisfying taps. Backlit keys are easy to read in the dark; not too bright not too dark. I've owned this keyboard for three years now and the lighting is just as good as it was when I got it. Keys are all still...
Keys could be a little easier to remove for cleaning. They're on pretty tight.

nice look
great look for a budget board with backlight. better to spend the extra for a v7 for the extra quality
very nice basic keyboard with nice backlighting. cost effective budget keyboard with a real nice look and does what its designed for.
keys start squeak after a few hours use

Great keyboard!
-Looks great (red makes everything better) -The keys have a nice feel to them and are quiet especially if you slide-type. (maybe thats just me) -Best of all, it is a great value
Only gripe I can think of is simple media buttons.

Great budget gaming keyboard
If you are looking for a great keyboard for everyday use and gaming, this is exceptional value, you will not be disappointed. I saved a hundred bucks and put that to more important things like paying for my gtx780ti dual classified
No this is not mechanical, but who cares. This keyboard gives you a nice feeling when keys are depressed and is easy to type on without being annoyingly loud. The backlight is adequate and not distracting. People giving this keyboard a low score...
The hand rest is something I found to be rather poorly made (flimsy), and is rather pointless. I found this keyboard to be easier to use without it.
