Overall I do really like this keyboard. If you have some extra money to spend on a nicer keyboard I would recommend considering this one but I don't think its needed at all. So if you're pinching pennies and trying to get the most bang for the buck for your PC gaming set up, I would personally recommend spending your money else where, better graphics card, better CPU, better SSD, etc. I already had a decent PC and I just wanted to round out my set up and it does just that for me.
Unfortunately, out of the box the T key was a bit sticky. I wasn't willing to give it up for any longer so I followed a guide and took it apart to see what the issue was. As you can see in the picture, some foam piece must've been put on sideways, and was messing with the switch! Silly issue, I just picked it up and put it upright, problem solved. I noticed there are a few of these, so if you have an issue with the A, S, H, J, T, or R keys, you might have the same problem. Probably not a very common issue, but still knocks a star of the quality for material.
Also, for some reason the ~!@#$%^&*()_+{}|:"<>? plus the secondary keys along the F9-F12, aren't lit up. At this point yea, I've memorized most of them. But honestly my cheap Razer Cynosa lite had every key lit. It's almost too bad I can't just swap them. I was looking at the replacement keycaps that you can buy for this keyboard, but none of them from razer are appealing to me. Oh well, it's more just a mild inconvenience than anything, but knocks a star off the value for money. Got it 50% off tho, well worth that price.
I've been looking for a lit keyboard like this for years, and I'd recommend this keyboard to anyone looking for a quiet option like me. On sale it is a must buy!

I also love that I can control my game volume and so many other things from this keyboard and it was easy to learn, the wrist pad is very durable and comfortable which makes long gaming sessions manageable. I used to get some nagging wrist pain with my other keyboards. I really would suggest buying this keyboard if you like quality products they will actually improve your game time.
Top reviews from other countries
The price tag was a little high but I believe you get what you pay for and this keyboard proved my point. The soft wrist support is very comfortable but could be a little deeper (front to back) for those of us with larger hands.
The sound of the keys is audible and pleasant without being overbearing. Perfect.
The software (Synapse) is not perfect. However they update very regularly and seem to be making improvements slowly.
I can’t imagine anything I would change about this keyboard aside from a slightly larger wrist rest. It’s as close to perfect as a keyboard can get. I’m buying a second one to keep as a spare- nothing lasts forever.
After a long time of research I settled with around this price $100-200 after tax. Sure it's not wireless nor the cleaning isn't the most effective. The quality it's supor. Whatever happens tech in general will need to be replaced once every 2 years. I am one of those super heavy user. The AWSD key still works fine. Compared to the V2. I won't know. This works just as great. W
What ever happenes. This worth it in the end.
Will buy it again
(Fun fact. The rainbow rgb it's wasted on me. Since I only use white. Haha).
