this keyboard be great for the average gamer . the lighting look really nice , it really look much better than i would have think in the dark . I can dim the light too if i wish , I actually keep it dim - it look quite nice in a dark room still . the keyboard seem to be of good quality , my only complaint be the `` enter '' button near the number pad be sticky when i first get it , but after a day of usage it cease to be sticky and work like normal again . it also say it come with a cd\/software to program the key , i do not recieve any in the box but im not go to return it for that reason since i do not really plan on use that feature anyway . but it would have be nice to know that i could if i have want the keyboard actually feel really good . the key be somewhat soft but not so soft that its feel weird . you get the right amount of repsonse from the key . I can be gentle on the key when typing and i 'll have no issue . it look really good on the desk too . I must admit when its next to my gaming rig with all of its led fan and such it really make the set up complete for I . some people might not like that it be not wireless , but i do not mind at all - if you a gamer you know wire be better . no worry about intereference or any miss key stroke with this keyboard . plus i do not have to change battery ! overall , i would buy one again -lrb- and i probably will -rrb- it be look alone be enough reason for I to buy one again but the way it feel and the feel of be quality make really make this keyboard a good buy for any gamer . I will note though , that if you do some serious gaming and you need lot of programmable key and different lighting feature , this keyboard probably will not do it for you .
