No RGB wristrest? What is this? 2017?
Seems alright to me.
Hunnerdnfifty-odd quid is a touch pricey, but I usually look for other features like macro keys.
Long as the RGB has lots of customisation options, rather than Rainbow Mode.
The only RGB colour I care about is #000000.
I have a Cherry blue based backlit keyboard. The design is almost identical to what I had back in the '90s aside from a row of macro keys and the backlighting and USB port. The angle, layout, spacing, etc is just a blast from the past. Aside from the VERY poor firmware which causes unreliability (and me having to mess about swapping USB ports to get the HID controller to do its thing) it's probably second only to an SSD in my list of more recent upgrades. The only downside is that it's bloody noisy and so I suppose brown switches would have been better but for a touch typist who learnt as a kid on blue keys (or their equivalent) and so can't change his typing style with any ease, it's great not to be smacking the keys so hard that they bottom out to get the tactile / noisy feedback. I just wish it had media keys - far more useful for me than macro keys and you can remap them if you want anyway.Quote:

Yup looks quite good actually. If it was half the price I might begin to consider it!
If you're using multimedia, you're playing songs and films, which means you're probably not typing, gaming or generally mousing... You have a free hand and most people are right-handed.Quote:

That's why, I reckon...
Works much better than Razer's solution on the Blackwidow Chroma V2, a direct competitor to this. That requires both hands, or a massive stretch, to change the volume.Quote:
