What do people say
This keyboard has wonderful keys that are neither too springy nor too soft, great for typing, and great for games too. It’s a pretty sturdy piece of kit too, and requires no extra drivers. So, of course it’s main ‘selling factor’ is that it offers three different illumination colors – blue, red, and purple – and these can be dimmed or brightened. Worth noting is that the areas around the keys and the keys themselves are lit, so perfect for a darker environment. I like the blue color best, but that’s probably the darkest, but I still find it’s illuminated adequately.

What are the keystrokes like? Not as shallow as a laptop, not as deep as the logitech g15 or the ibm model m. Its a very comfortable medium depth especially if you type on a laptop as well as your desktop, the transition will be refreshing but not disruptive.
Keystrokes and feedback (both tactile and sound) are very fluid; you’ll hear a very very low-level ‘snip snip snip’ as you type; and you’ll feel little resistance on the downstroke, followed by a solid stop (there’s no doubt that you’ve pressed the key, therefore), and when you release, the upstroke pushes back on your finger (so there’s no doubt that you’ve released). Not much resistance at all, the dominant experience is the solid stop at the bottom of the (medium-depth) stroke.
