Pros & Cons
Pros

Anyway flash forward to now where the price has dropped to £65 so i thought i'd try it out.
Packaging/appearance
I got it out of the box and i couldn't wait to use it.
Competitiveness
It is very good, and, in case it helps anyone—a darn sight better than logitech's g-hub (i was using one of their boards for th... Read More
I swapped my steelseries apex pro tkl for this keyboard, and i'm glad i did.
Overall this is a fantastic keyboard, but compared to my blackwidow which i rated 5 stars in 2014, i would rather have that bra... Read More

Incredible keyboard but if i were to try and be critical of something the only thing i dislike about this keyboard which is probably a nonissue for most people is the fact that even though all keys light up the symbols dont
