While the overall feel and build of this keyboard is good, it is not for the avid gamer. After 2 months the WASD keys are all showing signs of wear. While it was fairly cheap, and I am a heavy gamer I would still expect a brand like Razer to last a bit longer.

A pity because I like the keyboard otherwise.

I purchased this in the sale and for the price its great value.

Pros – Quality is good, key presses aren’t overlay noisy but are responsive, has media buttons within function keys despite not having dedicated media buttons. RGB lighting is nice and the USB lead is nice and long.

Cons – None really! I’d prefer a optional wrist rest included but I guess at this price point thats maybe not expected.

Overall I’m happy with this keyboard and would reccomend it to others (just maybe wait for the sale as it seems to come up in sale quite often!)

I had the first version of this keyboard and I thought THAT was worth the money, this is worth it even more due to the great media keys which are perfect for music and volume control. The lights are great, you can set a specific colour and they don’t seem to forget which colour backlight you had every five minutes like the V1 did. The keyboard could use a wristrest if I weree to have a small complaint but for the price you can’t really expect that. One flaw is that there seems to be certain keys i.e. the backspace key which start to squeak after a while. I fixed this by removing the keycap and applying a small amount of WD-40 to the bars underneath, this seems to fix the issue.

I’ve always been one to buy cheaper brands of keyboards, sometimes keyboards with no brand at all. When it came to my annual replacement as my old keyboard was half dead and literally warped, I thought I’d give this keyboard a go. After all Razer is a reputable company and highly sought after, so I gave it a shot.

I have to say, I wasn’t expecting too much as the price point for this board was around 20, normally for this price I’d be looking at knock-off’s or poorly made items. That’s not the case with this board, it feels good, durable and strong there’s hardly any give in the board and the plastic feels nice. The RGB is a nice touch too, especially since other boards round this price point only have static non-changeable colours. The RGB isn’t in your face either, it’s noticeable but subtle enough no to distract you during gameplay.

All in all I am definitely surprised, it’s responsive quiet, and I simply can not get over the fact that it offers so much quality for it’s price.

I can definitely say I will be buying more of Razers products to see what else they have to offer!
