I love the clicky knows the keyboard makes and it feels really nice on my fingertips. I'm definitely going to type some questionable fan fictions with this keyboard that will make you say "Every day we stray farther away from god"
So I will honestly admit because It does not have the ability to change the lights by holding the function keys... or it does and I just don't know it yet.
Then I would want to return the keyboard and get a cheaper one just to have RGB built-in maybe I should have got the Steelseries Omni keys over this keyboard. It's very difficult to make a decision over comparing keyboards around the $200 price range actually matter of fact I didn't like the Steel series because it looks like a gimmick and people were saying the steel series keyboard worth $200 was overpriced.
In conclusion... do your research on what chroma li9ghts are... If you want to make sure you get good RGB and are looking for a $200 then get the CORSAIR keyboard that has RGB not this keyboard.
I'm a tough customer to satisfy in terms of high quality when it comes to comparison and doing my research and knowing what I want so I would get the CORSAIR instead iff I knew that I needed an app for the Chroma lights.
Razer is lucky I'm keeping this keyboard and ironically I'm a RAZER fan now because it's still an expensive keyboard and I definitely show quality to it's utmost and the wrist rest is in a league of its own.
So I sacrifice The RGB lights for chroma lights that I don't really like for the best in terms of quality so I'm confident that I have quality on a scale of 1-10 is a level 10 on the scale of how high quality this keyboard is . This keyboard is my ultimate weapon for years to come and I got the warranty from amazon for confidence that my investment is locked in.
In summary, the following in on a level scale from 1-0
Chroma lights Level 3;
Honestly, if it was not for the wrist pad having the lights as well this would have been a deal breaker but the wrist rest saves the keyboard.
Keys Level 10
It's really hard for me to imagine that it can get any better than this, Indeed this is the best keyboard you can ever have if you spend any more money than $200 you are paying for gimmicks or other things that have nothing to do with then keyboards quality and STOP complaining about the keys being so loud it's not that bad its actually just right for a clicky keyboard. The Havit keyboard for $47 had a louder clicky keyboard with RGB but in functions so I already miss that keyboard... I might buy it again because I returned it to get this keyboard but im apparently greedy and want both of them to know but I keep telling myself if I'm going to get another RGB keyboard then I will get one that is Bluetooth.
Wrist rest Level 10
This wrist rest should save me years of grief and discomfort. I would rather spend $200 on a good keyboard with a top-notch wrist rest than spend more than $200 on surgery for my wrist going bad. This investmetn will save my wrist in the future. The wrist rest has lights at the bottom with a magnetic connector to connect ton the bottom of the keyboard.
Overall I don't have a justifiable reason to return this keyboard or rate it 2 stars but for now, I will give it 5 stars for the highest in quality that Razer was really truthful about. You want the best quality and make sure you are getting what you pay for dollar for dollar than get this keyboard. Honestly, the chroma lights are not that bad I just need to get use to them.
Pros: the keys feel fantastic and have proper width between them. The "travel" of the keys also feels good. Tactile and not too loud. I love how I can optimize the color of the keyboard backlights. One of the most responsive and accurate keyboards I have used. The volume wheel is "backwards" to me, but this is not a problem as you can customize the direction of the volume wheel in the Razer Synapse software. The media keys and extra ten keys are a plus for me (I am not a fan of tenkeyless). I don't care for gimmicky macro keys, so I was glad that this keyboard does not have them
Cons: I must have a wrist rest, but this one is terrible. It is too high and flat. An after-market angled wrist rest fixed that for me. If you lock Windows, then the Razer software loses connection to the keyboard, and the color scheme you have programmed is lost. This is only a minor issue as it does not affect the functionality of the keyboard. Some people say my keyboard is too loud, but the sound level seems normal to me in comparison to a cherry MX-brown or red keyboard.
Value: I purchased this at $120, which was within my price range. I never would have bought it at $200, but seeing how much I like it now, I might reconsider that.
Firstly, the wrist rest. Wow. Never had a wrist rest, never will not have one again. The wrist rest spoiled me. Next, the RGB is amazing, and even better in person than in the pictures. The colors look beautiful and I find myself just staring at the lights sometimes. The sound of typing may be annoying to some, but it is not as loud as people say. It is not quiet, but not that loud either. With the door closed you won't be bothering anyone else in the house as long as you're not smashing the keys. The feeling of the keys are amazing. I don't think I can ever go back to using another keyboard after getting used to this optical switches. In fact, with all the online homework colleges have been giving out, this keyboard made me dread doing homework less, purely because of the fact that I can type it up with this keyboard. The software is easy to learn and use. It is not the best, but certainly not the worst.
I don't game much on PC, but with the little time I have gamed with this keyboard, it is very fun to use, comfortable, and perfect for clicky key fans. For the price, maybe it could have come with PBT keys or a USB pass-through, but in my opinion, those are such minor inconveniences. I am glad I didn't listen to the Razer haters.

The wrist rest is totally comfortable; it's very plush while being somewhat firm at the same time. It's high quality and will most likely last you years if you properly care for it.
This is amazing for gaming, but typing is awesome too; it feels so nice to type on this. I've been using membrane keyboards for my whole life, switching to a mechanical was the best decision.
100/10, get this keyboard
