" ... I probably game about 20 hours a week on this thing and I also probably type about 10 hours a week on it and it is still a dream keyboard. ... "
" ... Worked for two hours. ... "
" ... There are tutorials online and I figured it out just by playing around with it for a couple minutes, but I can see how some others may have trouble understanding how to work the software. ... If you game with your keyboard at an angle like I do, it kinda just gets in the way and adds another 1/4 to the keyboard's already sizable footprint ... "
" ... I tried to customized the colors and saved then suddenly my key buttons doesn't work, good thing I have my previous keyboard to fix the software to put it in default settings. ... "

+100%
" ... Metallic, feels great and sounds great but not too much noisy, and looking good. ... "
" ... It's not an extreme rattle and I don't feel it in my fingers when typing, I just hear the sound. ... One of the lightest to press, and quietest. ... "
" ... It has a great sound and feel when you type or game. ... "
" ... Less noisy as they seem to glide more smoothly with every key stroke. ... "
" ... Great product, kinda noisy though ... "
" ... Just the right amount of “clicking” noise ( cherry brown ). ... "
" ... The sound it makes when pressing on the keys is highly addicting. ... "
" ... There's also a springy sound when you're typing. ... "
