Nice, sleek, had to be replaced on my dime
EDIT: Due to the fact my keyboard is now on its way to replacement, I would like to change my rating to a 2. I had to pay for the shipping back to the manufacturer to get a replacement because the USB on it didn't work anymore and a couple keys were already not working or barely working. I've only had they keyboard 4 months. This was a great keyboard but to be first manufacturing line out and the first problem I have is keys not working... that's a bad sign. I don't know if the USB ever worked but I didn't have a need to use it until a few weeks ago. No working USB, no big deal. Having keys like 's' and 'backspace' stop working is a huge deal.
In short, I paid top dollar for a high end gaming keyboard. It failed on the S key. Meaning no more backpedal and no more gaming. The backspace also became problematic. The USB stopped working. This keyboard was expensive. I expect better. Especially if I have to pay $8 to ship it back for replacement.
I just received this keyboard yesterday and since there are no reviews, I'm sure people are holding out to know if this keyboard is any good. Well, it is to a point. It's backlit blue, there is no other color option just so you know.
Pros:
It looks sleek and shiny. The finish is very shiny and polished like some new HDTVs you see.
The backlighting on the keys look really nice and well lit. It'd very subtle on all the keys and looks like the keys are naturally glowing instead of being lit. When the backlighting is off it just looks solid black, which is cool. The keys won't light when on standby or powered off.
The keystroke is somewhat short, which I kind of like. It's halfway between a standard keyboard and a laptop's keys without being too close.
There is a macro program you can use to change key functions, disable keys, and enable macros that automatically activate when you start certain games. Best use, you can turn off the windows button or any other button you want.
You can enable just WASD lighting on your keyboard for gaming, which actually helps a lot.
Cons:
The glaze mixed with short keys adds to typos. It might just take getting used to as I moved from a standard keyboard with huge keys to this.
While the backlighting is great, the lighting on the Caps, Num, Scroll buttons is incredibly bright. I wish you could disable just certain lights, but you can't. In fact, you can't even turn it off unless you turn num off and so on.
If you're used to knowing where you are on the keyboard by the bumps on F, J, and 5... you might have a hard time. They are very slightly raised.
The up arrow and left arrow are flush with the keyboard while the other two are slightly raised. This is a bit annoying for now.
Fingerprints fingerprints, EVERYWHERE! Yeah, it's a problem if you care about it. You only notice it in a well lit room. I can barely see them in my office and if you're in the type of lighting where backlit keyboard would be needed, you probably wouldn't notice them. They did include a nice microfiber cloth for ridding of your smudges.
Concerns:
Will this wear down? I worry that the glaze might wear off because I've never had a piece of electronics with this glazed look that I actually constantly touch.
The lasting period of the backlighting. I couldn't find any info on this. While it looks way more solid than competitor keyboards, all lights burn out eventually.
Conclusion:
I have not found any of the problems in this keyboard that most people had in their other razer keyboards. I actually like this keyboard quite a bit, the only problems I have are getting used to the keys and that annoyingly bright num lock. It does have a mic, headphone, and USB jack in the back of it. While the USB is helpful, I have surround sound so the headphones and mic are not. Both of those items plug directly into my system.
You can't see it but the ports are above the pause and scroll buttons on the back of the board. The board also has legs to prop it up slightly higher, not high enough I think as it barely makes a difference. The cord is slightly longer than a standard keyboard and the extra ports cords are all given enough rope to let you plug them in comfortably.
Low quality for high price.
I got this for my wife to use on her computer and two weeks into owning this keyboard the right shift key stopped working. About a week after that the down arrow stopped working and the number 2 above the q and w keys popped off.
My wife takes extremely good care of her things and for this keyboard to have this type of issue speaks volumes for the apparent lack of quality that Razer is putting into their keyboards. I have a Logitech Illuminated keyboard that is worth every penny I paid for and its been dropped off the desk, had coffee spilled in it and it still works like a charm.
Trying to get Razer to issue an RMA has been a nightmare. I have copies of all emails and RMA request's sent and email replies from Razer support asking me to try the keyboard on another computer when it was clearly stated that the number 2 keycap popped off.
Overall it has taken me more than 10 emails to Razer to get the RMA.
I would definitely stay away from the Razer keyboards as it's also been noted on other hardware sites that they have a lot of known issues with this product.
I love this keyboard
This keyboard is beautiful to behold. The backlighting is just jaw dropping. It even looks impressive in broad daylight. At night it looks like something from a high budget sci-fi movie. Their is a practical benefit to the cool blue lights though. The readability of the keys is GREATLY enhanced. Typing in a pitch black room is no problem at all. The size of the letter on each key is slightly larger than a standard keyboard without taking up the whole key. It's just right. You can tell they put a lot of thought into designing this thing.
The layout of the keys is standard so you don't have to retrain yourself to something exotic. The keystroke is a bit shorter than a standard keyboard, as others have said it's somewhere between a standard keyboard and a laptop keyboard. It's much easier to type on than a laptop keyboard though. It took me about half an hour to get used to, and then I was typing at full speed with no problem. The glazed finish does feel slightly different but it's no big deal. I wouldn't hesitate to write a paper or even a book with this keyboard.
The backlighting and single USB extension port on the back of the keyboard worked immediately without even installing the drivers. I use the USB extension for the wireless dongle for my mouse and it's perfect for that.
Don't worry about the lights burning out. They're LEDs, so yeah they'll eventually burn out, after about 100,000 hours. Over a decade if you have it on 24/7.
I found only a few minor issues. The one significant drawback is the smudges. You will absolutely get smudges everywhere no matter how clean your hands are. A little cloth is included to polish off the smudges, but I don't want to spend 5 minutes cleaning off my keyboard every time I touch it. Also, the volume control on the top right isn't the best. Although the "touch panel" is responsive and attractive, the volume + and - "buttons" are pretty small. meaning you have to focus your attention deliberately to change the volume level.
Finally let me say that the pictures I've seen around the internet don't do this keyboard justice at all. You really have to see it in person to appreciate how impressive it is. I'm very happy with my purchase.
