I have been using it heavily since August of this year with no issues. Keyboard feels very well built. The cable has a braided covering and the keyboard has a metal deck. The keys have a loud crisp click and great tactile feedback. I believe it uses the blue mechanical switches. The led lighting is not software controlled. Each row of keys is a different color but the color is fixed. However, there are different modes and brightness adjustments for the lighting. These are easily changed on the fly on the keyboard itself. The sides of the keyboard are also illuminated which is a nice touch. The lighting is bright and I'm happy with the selection of lighting modes it offers. Overall no complaints so far especially for the price.

Was fine, and then suddenly the keys all start not working, sporadically. They will be fine and then all the sudden when typing fast, keys stop registering.I had to correct this short review 6 times just to get all the letters.

Aside from the unfortunate and somewhat gross decision to name this after a disease-producing agent, I somewhat like the mechanics of this keyboard. Update: Well, I did, until a month later when keys started failingPros:- The slanty wrist rest is so small my wrists never touch it so it doesn't get in my way and require me to Dremmel it off like all the others I've had- Layout is properly spaced- The font and size used is readable, many aren't so this one is a relief for me- Tilt w/o legs is very nearly enough for me- The legs have extra foot grippy pads that do work well- Key sound is great. It's louder than the more modern style but not overly loud. It's a light click, not heavyCons:- The lights aren't very good, as in the actual colors. They're pale, sort of like pastels- The num lock, caps lock, and scroll lock indicator lights are pinpricks, very hard to see- The unfortunate and, I think, unwise use of "PATHOGEN" on the space bar. It's not a huge issue but it does bother me some because it throws off my muscle/feel memory. It's really thickly printed, almost embossed. It'll take quite some time to wear off. Stuff like that can affect touch typers, I guess- No actual gaming features at all- New: keys started failing after bbarely a month. The S and D lights went off within a day of each other. The B key repeats, and the open square bracket won't work at all.It works, but it's not for real gamers and it doesn't appear to be very well made.Don't forget to use the Smile.Amazon.com address - It's an Amazon program where many everyday things you buy will generate a small donation from Amazon to the charity of your choice at no cost to you.

This is a GREAT mechnical keyboard for the price. You can definitely get better mechanical keyboards, but they're going to burn a hole in your wallet! To begin, let's start with layout and ergonomics. This is a standard size keyboard, with no particularly compelling ergonomic uniqueness. That said, it matches most of its competitors except for those highly specialized (and more expensive) ergonomic boards. Second, the keys and switches are GREAT. You really FEEL and HEAR the mechanical keys every time you lay your finger down to type. It feels very different than a normal keyboard. Other people in the room with you might hate it, but if you enjoy the sound, this keyboard is for you! The RGB is fairly basic. It comes standardized with a rainbow backlight that can be adjusted.The biggest downfall to this keyboard is simply the fact that it does not have a long enough wrist support. For LONG term use and writing, this makes it less appealing than some of its counterparts. The only way this board could be improved would be with an elongated and extended wrist support.

I like the keyboard design and overall build quality. The materials used are excellent, and it is well put together. A very solid keyboard. Waaaayyyyy to loud for me though. The metal face, overall assembly quality, LEDs, and multiple ways to route the cable make this a good competitor for keyboards that live in a higher price range.Some Notes:- The include blue switches are NOT hot-swappable. So if you want different switches, you will have to brush up on your soldering skills.- The LEDs are not individually addressable or programmable. The colors they show are the only colors you get, and there are a handful of LED effects that can have their timing and brightness tweaked.The Switches:They are so clicky/loud/tinny they are almost hard to use for an extended period of time. They have a fantastic light touch and tactile feedback, which I love, but I do a lot of typing for work and they just produce too much noise for my liking. A gamer would probably like the sound more than I do. I replaced the switches with some Gateron browns, and I like the whole package now. It took a while to de-solder and re-solder all the switches, but it was well worth the effort for the end result... and kind of fun. The keyboard was easy to get apart - all the screws are on the top, and there are no clips holding the body together.Impressions:- The cord is soft, flexible, and looks very nice, so I don't mind having it running over my desk. Having 3 ways to route the cable is nice- The height adjustment legs in the back work perfect- The key caps are textured and have a nice feel- The metal face is well made- The quality of this keyboard for the price is amazingI am very happy with this keyboard, and would recommend for gamers, people that like very clicky keyboards, or people that want a quality keyboard and are not afraid to customize it to their liking. I am very happy with this one, and plan on getting many years of use out of it.
