Excellent value

The switches are have excellent feedback and are not too loud for my office thankfully. Excited to try using the macro keys on the left. The placement of the extra keys does throw me off a little when working but once I adjust it shouldn't be a problem.

Best Sub Mech Keyboard

The brown switches are wonderful for typists. The keyboard has a comfortable layout & doesnt have the obnoxious RGB backlighting of "gaming" keyboards. It has subtle lighting around the wrist rest area of the board, but thats it. Highly recommended

For 25 bucks its a steal

Exactly what I thought it'd be. Plastic but at the price I'm paying for it, 25, even if the build quality was worse, the switches would still make it worth.

Solid performer

Solid mechanical keyboard. Feels fast and responsive. Great for FPS gaming. Keys are a bit on the thin side. Amazing value and great entry level mechanical keyboard.

Fun and Solid

The keyboard is fun with the adjustable lights and the build quality is well made. My only complaint is that it doesn't seem to automatically change the theme depending on the program I am in. They keys make an audible click when using them, which is a little louder than I prefer. Overall, it is fun for the price and looks like it will hold up for some time. The programmable buttons are also a plus.

Decent Keyboard

Love the feel of the keyboard, but the lights are only on the bottom, the actual keys do not light up.

Decent keyboard with annoying macro keys

Good keyboard for the price.The only drawback is 5 macro keys on the left side: you will constantly mistype unless you remember to shift your left hand or look at keyboard.

Great value for a mechanical keyboard

I purchased this keyboard on sale, and this product was an amazing deal from Adorama as my introduction to mechanical keyboards. Shipping was flawless and the product came in perfection condition. The entire keyboard feels well constructed, and the underglow is easy to configure. The only downsides were that Alienware Command Center, which controls macros and lighting for the keyboard, is not supported by Windows 7 (at least, the current versions are not). Fortunately I was upgrading anyways, so this was a non issue.In addition, the keyboard does not offer backlit keys, but that's acceptable at this price point.This was a very pleasant purchasing experience, and I would be happy to shop with Adorama again.

Great mechanical keyboard at the right price.

Exactly as expected. soft mechanical keys. A bit more springy than logitech's romer g. rgb lighting is rather diffused as the keys are not backlit which is nice.

Nice Keyboard, but no software support for Windows 7

The keyboard feels sturdy, and I like the switches they used, even if they aren't the "name brand" ones. Unfortunately the Alienware software required to utilize the light features and hotkeys only supports Windows 10. This seems like a pretty big oversight for a keyboard application, but once you install it you realize it's really the full software suite for Alienware PC's with the keyboard functions tacked on. You will have to run Alienware command center just to change colors on your keyboard, which is quite annoying.

Very satisfied

This is a fine keyboard, the macro keys work well but im not a fan of their being located on the left hand side. Would have preferred on top as it messes with my hand placement, but thats more me than anything im sure. Its a good value and great for the office

Nice! Nicer with lights!

Everything was as expected. O wish I opted in for backlighting but for the price I got it at...it's high quality.

Almost reminds me of my favorite typewriter - IBM Selectric!

I've used all types of computer keyboards none comes close to the touch and feel of my favorite electric typewriter: IBM's Selectric, I still have it though I haven't used it in years. The only keyboard that came close was the IBM AT keyboard, sadly, it has been long discontinued and I love the touch, feel and sound of a "mechanical" key switch, something that the "rubber-domed" key "switches" can't ever compete. I'm a touch-typist and using an ergonomic keyboard simply makes typing a "joy!"

Good keyboard

Good quality clicky, yet not too distracting.If you play games and likes keyboard that responds to strokes, this keyboard is for you. Some likes membrane type without gaps for office and production uses should choose another type of keyboard.

Very good budget mechanical keyboard. The keyboard was surprisingly heavy but it has great build quality. It is a little bit on the loud side though

Great keyboard

Great keyboard, especially for the offering price listed by Adorama. Expected shipping was listed as 10 days, but Adorama got it to me ONE day after ordering. Nice feeling keyboard which has genuine Kailh brown mechanical switches, and feels great to type on. Great service overall.

Not for me

The keyboard is nice but I couldn't get used to it due to the macro keys. If your hands are off the keyboard and you want to start typing then you will mistype unless you look at the keyboard.

Solid keyboard at the right price

Very happy with this keyboard. Brown switches provide nice feedback and the cord is a great length for easy set up. I do wish the Alienware software wasn't so bloated, but I have zero complaints.

A bang for your buck

At the price point keyboard feels great and even have 5 programmable buttons. The only knock I have for this keyboard of the lack of back lighting on the keys. As I like to play my games in the dark, the lack of lighting on the keys is pretty annoying. That said, I would buy again.
