Mechanical Keyboard with Programmable Macro, 16.8 Million RGB Backlit Mechanical Gaming Keyboard with Blue Switches 14 LED Backlit Modes 104 Anti-Ghost Keys Aluminum Plate, Non-Fading UV Coating

The media could not be loaded. I'm a programmer, and have used mechnical keyboards for 30+ years. I like the feel of mechanical keyboards, they work better and don't get in the way and interrupt my thoughts. Mechincal keyboards used to be really expensive, but thanks to gamers mechanical keyboards are popular again and the prices have come way down.I travel to Shenzhen often and know my way around the electronics markets at Huaqingbei. I buy a lot of keyboards, both for myself and as gifts. I've tried pretty much everything that's out there.My favorite so far has been Gaming Keyboard Mechanical Keyboard K551 VARA by Redragon 104 Key LED Backlit Mechanical Computer illuminated Keyboard with Blue Switches for PC Gaming Compact ABS-Metal Design, with my only complaint being that the edge around the keyboard catches dirt.This keyboard has a very similar feel, as it uses the same switches. There's no edge, so I'm hoping it'll be easier to keep clean. A nice little feature is the light on the top right to tell you the windows key lockout is enabled.Other than that, there's a ton of LED modes and sub-modes on this keyboard. I pretty much just stick to the plain solid color lines, but my kids have been flipping the modes all day. Easier to show than describe, see video...

I am a software designer and so I do a LOT of typing. As such, I prefer mechanical keyboards, and I have to say that this is a very nice one, especially for the price ($40). It's extremely responsive, has inlaid lettering (so they don't smudge off), and has customizable backlighting (personally, I turn the lights "off" except for key-strokes). Yes, it's a bit loud especially if you aren't used to mechanical keyboards -- but I've definitely heard louder. There's a ton of customizable keys as with most gaming keyboards.The construction of it feels high quality, even the cord! I actually like this keyboard so much that I'm tempted to buy a second one as a back-up just in case these are ever discontinued. But I'm going to use it for a while longer to make sure there are no issues. The only downside I can see is that there's no wrist-rest (though as you can see I bought a separate one), and really that's just nit-picking. I almost never give 5-star reviews... but this one has earned it for its quality and value. If the durability doesn't hold up, then I'll definitely come back and update this... but as of now, I consider this a must-buy.

I just can't use it. I can't read 1/3 of the fonts. I am older and I don't have the keyboard memorized. It is incredibly hard to use this keyboard. I guess the kids love it which is good.Thanks for your timeVery respectfully

Unfortunately I cannot review much about the operation of this keyboard because I never even plugged mine in. Upon packaging and inspecting the unit, I noticed that the semicolon key was bad. The switch for the key was not bouncing back to the up position after being pressed. I could physically pull the the key back out to reset the switch, but this is obviously unacceptable for a keyboard.Other than that, my initial reactions to the keyboard were positive. The sleek design went well with the rest of my setup. The keys strokes were loud, but this is expected with mechanical switches. I cannot comment on the lighting and the performance as I did not experience them in operation.Overall I plan to return the keyboard for a replacement. I will update the review based on my experience from here.Cheers

This keyboard was less cost than some others of same style that I bought. Was not mentioned that it was an "Amazon Warehouse deals" (says sticker on the box). I believe it is a returned item that was inspected and recycled. Just keyboard in the original but battered box. No accessories or instructions in the box like a new one.I have used the keyboard for a few days. Works fine, seems not used much at all. I put in custom colors and functions with free downloaded Raydem software, works as expected. Not easy to program, but will be fine if you follow its rules, pay attention, write down some notes how to and what you did.Because of the dark finish of keys and backing, the colors are not as bright as if it was a white board like my others. But they look good.

This is the most awesome and wonderful keyboard I have EVER used! It has been life changing for me! I am not a real typist and was hitting/brushing wrong keys all the time on the very sensitive logitech bluetooth keyboard I was using with my new MacBook Pro. This was costing me a lot of wasted time correcting my mistakes. This Raydem mechanical keyboard has changed all of that! It offers a whole other, vastly better typing experience! The keys have an ultra high quality feel and touch, with the perfect travel distance, real mechanical feel, and assuring "click". There are literally hundreds of different LED back-lighting colors and programs - you can have a lot of fun with these features if you like! I cannot recommend this keyboard highly enough! This is not a light weight "highly portable" keyboard - it is heavy duty thruout and seems to be of the highest quality and built to last! It was recognized immediately by my Mac so installation was a snap. It comes with a long, high quality USB cord so no need to worry about charging or replacing batteries.

Pros: Looks good, feels nice, programmable. You can’t really beat the price with this quality.Cons: Lights need to be brighter, you can’t see anything if you place it near a window.Spacebar began to break just 4 months after usage. Other keys were beginning to show delays.Nice for a temporary keyboard. Not recommended if you want a long term investment.
