What reviewers say
Reviewers find the typing better than most rubber-dome keyboards and like the media keys and programmable function keys. The common criticisms are mediocre build quality, dull zone lighting and a price close to real mechanical keyboards; TechRadar and PCWorld found it larger than rivals, and RTINGS found the long pre-travel makes it feel less responsive.
