Amazing

Sounds amazing. Feels amazing. Is amazing. I got the RGB version and went for an all white look and the white does look a little pink but i can't even complain because the keyboard just feels and sounds so nice.

Great Budget keyboard

First off, amazing shipping. Well packed and showed up in 4 days after I ordered it. That's from China to the middle of the US. I'm not a keyboard aficionado, but seems like very good quality for a $80 keyboard. Switches are the best I've ever felt. The blues clack so nice. I don't like huge keyboards and this profile is perfect. Would recommend the razer wrist wrest to suit.
