100% recommended and here's why !
The media could not be loaded. I have been using this keyboard for a couple of weeks now and yeah, I love this keyboard. I just love it.First of all, I have come to a general conclusion about mechanical keyboards and that is "gaming brands are over-priced". If they provided the quality worth they money, I wouldn't mind paying some extra bucks for the quality but the problem is it's honestly hard to find decent quality from some of the biggest gaming brands. I'm not sure if I am allowed to name brands so I just won't not get my review banned.:)I haven't tried hundreds of mechanical keyboards but I have tried enough to be sure about my conclusion. I just want to say that I bought a mechanical keyboard from one of the top 5 gaming brands in the world and it was almost in every way inferior to this keyboard. So, I'm really happy that I returned that one and got this master piece.I'll start with some negative sides of this keyboard because there aren't that many-----------------------Appearance: this keyboard, without the lights off is kind of boring, especially the black (which I have). There are small things like the silver line all around the keyboard which I really don't like and it would have been so much better without it. *The white looks really beautiful but my laptop, mouse and everything is black so I needed a black keyboard.-Software: there is no software so there is no macro recording whatsoever, at least not yet which is definitely acceptable for this price and such a physically great keyboard with so many features.*I'm really thinking to find other downsides.-the RGB profiles reset every time you unplug the keyboard. This is going be totally fine if you have a PC but I use this keyboard with my laptop and I unplug it almost every day and I decided to let go of making my own custom lighting effect which is really not a big deal for me.That's it, I really can't think of anything else.Now, let's talk about what this bad boy has to offer +++++++++++++++++++++++Price: It's just so stupid cheap for such good quality and all the features. Do not waste your money on gaming brands.+keycaps: The keycaps feel really decent. I have tried better keycaps but honestly the ones on this keyboard feel 8.5 or 9 out of 10. They don’ feel cheap or too thin at all. You can guess how they should feel like by looking at the picture of the numpad I have included.+Switches: they just feel great. I can’t see why one should pay more for Cherry MX switches. Maybe they would last longer but for this price, it’s again totally fine.+Hot Swappable switches (it means you can change the switches without having to desolder them from the board.) this is important because 1. You can change the switches to other varieties 2. If a switch dies, you can change it instantly without having to take it to a service provider.+Extra Switches: there are five extra switches included in the package.+Switch and key puller: there is a switch puller and a key puller in the package as well. However, be very careful while using the key puller because it is not the best. (make sure it has gripped both sides of the key before even trying to pull up)+Detachable cable: at this price, this is the only full-size keyboard that I found that has a detachable keyboard.+You can change the lighting effect without any software. While having a software is great, I think it is really convenient to be able to change RGB effects without having to use a software (that doesn’t exist).+build: this keyboard is really sturdy. It’s not too heavy or anything. It’s just perfect.+water proof???: this is the only thing I am really not sure is true or not. There are drain holes on the bottom of the board where the water is supposed to leave but I’m not convinced if this keyboard is really water proof/water resistant.+RGB effects: There are so many cool effects. The colors could have been chosen a bit more wisely but it’s really more than enough.That’s it! what else do you want? If you want something better, of course there are better ones but to get anything even close to this, you need to spend at least 50 USD more. That means one more Huo Ji keybaord. :DSo, I really think if your budget is anything bellow 150, you should only get this keyboard. Trust me, I have looked really hard. If you want anything better, try to look at really really high-end brands.Honestly, I think there is only one situation where this keyboard might not be for you:You NEED a software for macro. But really, do you?

Attractive, Comfortable, Not Quiet
The media could not be loaded. I have only been using this keyboard for a half a day, but I really like it so far. There are definitely some things to keep in mind though, and this keyboard is not for everyone. The instructions also aren’t very clear, so I have included more information here.Visuals: The colors are vibrant and pretty. Cycle through red, yellow, green, blue, indigo, magenta, white. *** HOWEVER PLEASE NOTE *** There’s a very weird visual sensation when using the white, and to a lesser extent yellow, colors. If I shake my head, or look back and forth on the keyboard (as if searching for something), it feels like the R, G, and B cones in my eyes are being activated at different times. I get R, G, and B shadows or echoes of the lights. (My husband and his friend get the same thing, so it's not just me.) It’s extremely disorienting and off-putting, enough that I can’t use the keyboard on white or yellow light. The effect is still present with other colors, but MUCH LESS so. The effect is lessened by dimming the keyboard’s lights down to lower settings, and/or turning on more overhead lights or desk lamps. I rarely have overhead lights on, so it’s pretty dark in my office. I therefore need to turn down the keyboard’s brightness anyway. The manual says there are four brightness settings, but there are actually five.Key Layout: This keyboard resembles what I’m used to. You have the double-height plus and enter keys, and the double-width zero on the number pad. The tab, caps lock, shift, backspace, backslash, return, and shift keys are all also bar-style (wider than normal keys). I didn’t realize how important it is for me, but even small things (like a backwards-L shaped return key) can throw me off significantly. I love that this keyboard has a normal layout. There are also spaces between every four function keys, which helps me hit the right key without looking.Ergonomics: Mechanical switches have a decently long keystroke, so that may be an issue for some. If you're looking for short strokes or low profile, this keyboard is not for you. The red switches in this keyboard take very little effort to press though, and my hands haven’t felt tired or strained while using it. So it definitely qualifies as soft touch, IMO.Sound: This keyboard is definitely louder than scissor-switch/chicklet style keys. I will include a video with my review so you can get a feel for the sound. It’s not a sharp sound like from a typewriter, it’s a softer type of sound. It’s also not off-putting, but definitely worth mentioning. Nobody’s gonna sleep in the room while you’re using this keyboard.Function Keys: All function keys execute their normal/default function in software. You have to hold down the Fn key in order to use the media shortcuts on the Function keys. This is exactly how I need my keyboard to function, so that makes me very happy.Controls:Fn+Ins | Toggle through the various modesFn+Del | Toggle through colorsFn+Up & Fn+Down | Adjust BrightnessFn+Left & Fn+Right | Adjust animation speedFn+Home | Start or finish editing current gamer mode preset1. Single Color On Steady2. Single Color Breathing (Brightness increases and fades like breathing.)3. Gamer Mode (Specific keys frequently used in video games are color coded.)4. Color Rotation (Keyboard is all one color, which then fades to the next color, and so on.)5. Single Key Light Up (Each key briefly lights up with a random color when you press it.)6. Single Color River (One color ripples across the keyboard.)7. Random Color Snake (All keys start unlit. Then starting at the top left, keys begin lighting up with a random color. This goes to the end of the first row, then drops down to the second row and comes back, then drops down again and goes back to the right and so on. Then they are unlit the same way, but backwards up the keyboard. Repeat.)8. Keypress Ripple Mode (Ripples of random color spread out from each key you press.)9. Neighbor Mode (Keys adjacent to the one you press will briefly light up with a random color.)10. Rainbow River (A rainbow of all the colors ripples across the keyboard. Slow to lowest speed to freeze current placement.)More info on gamer mode: There are five presets, you can select them by hitting Fn+1 through Fn+5.Use Fn+Home to enter reprogram mode. Then, press the key you want to change the color of. Keep pressing it to cycle through all the colors, or to turn it off. When you’re done, use Fn+Home to exit reprogramming mode.Note: Gamer mode doesn’t support turning off ALL the keys. If you use one of the Gamer presets to turn all keys off, they will remain off as long as you stay with that preset. If you go to another Gamer Preset or another mode entirely, when you come back to that preset, it will have reset itself to what it was when the keyboard shipped. You must have at least one key lit up for your changes to save permanently.That said, this is an easy way to cycle through static (not animated) views. I have one Gamer preset with all the lights on in one color, one Gamer preset with all the lights off (except one), and one Gamer preset with actual game keys lit up (which I may not ever actually use). This way I can pick a setting with a couple of taps, rather than cycling through all ten modes. I don't intend to use any of the animated modes; while pretty, they're way too distracting.Last note, when the keyboard arrived, the logo plaque wasn’t stuck on above the arrow keys like it was supposed to be. I picked it up and peeled off the protective plastic, with the intent of then pushing the logo plate into its spot on the keyboard. But when I pulled off the protective plastic film, the logo was sticky on top. So I thought maybe it was better to just leave it off entirely.

Lindo demais
O teclado é realmente lindo, mas o meu não veio com algimas teclas corretas. No teclado mostra a tecla "/ ?" mas quando pressiono, a pontuação que aparece é"; :", fora que outras vieram trocadas assim também.

Excelente opción sin romper el cochinito
Excelente opción sin romper el cochinito, super cómodo, la firmeza de las teclas está excelente, no cama absolutamente nada, las teclas son de doble inyección, por lo que jamás se van a despintar, excelente combinación de colores y modos. Adicionalmente compré unos juegos de teclas de otra marca y le quedaron sin problema, es decir, las key caps soon tamaño estándar. El único*pero*es que las teclas no son programables, ah, y que no hay variante en español (no tiene la teclas *ñ*), pero te acostumbras...

Average users, don't purchase pricey keyboards!
I am not a professional gamer or enthusiast, but as an average user this is one of the best keyboards I've used. I was using the Razor Pro Type Ultra which I purchased for AU$259 and was not quite happy with the key feedback. I now sold off the Razor as it's not worth the money and will use this keyboard which has nicer key feel especially for typing.

W key broken after only 4 months of use
Rated for 50 million is BS. After daily use of absolutely perfection, no criticisms to be had whatsoever, the W key started failing. Sometimes the input would not register and sometimes when holding it down it'll double even triple tap the input before settling down to the held position.They've supplied replacement switches with the keyboard, but I do not have the technical know how to open up and re solder a switch onto the board. As I'm writing this, the W key is causing me an immense amount of annoyance.DO NOT BUY IF YOU WANT CONSISTENCY, UNDERSTAND THAT YOU COULD BE THE UNLUCKY SOD WITH THE FAULTY BOARD.
