" ... First mechanical keyboard I've got from Logitech. ... - Perfect Design: The keyboard's design tries not too hard to appeal to "gamers" like many other Logitech Keyboards, which is a step in a right direction for them. ... All while not sacrificing the essentials of a "gaming keyboard" such as media keys ... The keys are fairly quiet (quieter than the MX Brown switches) and typing is very comfortable, even after a very long session. ... -No Keyboard Macros: I don't really care much for this, but for the asking price It should have them. ...

" ... Also, when every opening or closing my PC, the keyboard will do the default wave pattern for a split second. ... "

" ... In the end this is a nice keyboard for $80, and even while $100 would be doable it would be stretching it but I do trust the Logitech name and therefore can be pretty certain this keyboard will serve me well for the next few years, even if only as a backup. ... +Comfortable to use ... "

" ... - Colors : The colors are crisp and clear on this board, the "tunneling" effect of the Romer-G keycaps allow the light to pass through in full brightness without bleeding out onto the other keys. ... "
" ... I've compared ALPS, Cherry Blacks, Reds, Browns, Blues, Outemu and Kalih switches of various colors, and I am REALLY impressed by these Romer-G switches. ... "
" ... Zero light bleeding from the keys, colors are confined. ... Wide strata of colors to choose from. ... "
" ... The full RGB control is nice because I can light everything up the way I want but keep it all in the color scheme of my computer and other devices. ... My Razer BlackWidow Ultimate has individual key assignment, but you can only control the effect and the color saturation/brightness of their standard green. ... Nice to not have to shell out a premium for color control. ... "
" ... I wanted variable colors because not everyone can adjust to the same color. ... "
" ... The range of back-lit colors is amazing, but. ... "
" ... The constant on is nice and the white LEDs are bright and definitely pleasing to look at. ... "
" ... I thought that because the title said "Red Backlit" that meant that the backlighting was red, but that simply meant that it was backlit and that the key type was MX Cherry Reds. ... "

" ... Great mechanical for the price. ... "
" ... Personally, I’d be reluctant to pay $100 for this keyboard and certainly not the retail asking price of $120 when for just $30 more I could have gotten a backlit board from WASD which has an even superior build quality, more choice of switches, and keycaps that are easier to replace . ... "
" ... I feel I have gotten my money's worth and more. ... "
" ... -Decent price considering features (metal chassis would be nice, but that would probably increase the price) ... "
" ... I believe the board is well worth the price, especially if the cons that i listed were not that big of a deal to you. ... "
" ... This one fits the bill. ... "
" ... It's a great deal for $80. ... "

" ... Fingerprints are pretty noticeable after a while compared to some keyboards, but the features and performance of this keyboard far outweigh this slight issue and don't warrant a loss of rating. ... "
