Illuminated Gaming Keyboard, USB Wired, 104-Key Mechanical, Orange Backlight

Keyboard is okay for a budget computer. I have been wanting a computer that can play decent amount of games and have a decent computer and this definitely takes the gold for a good budget. It provides both a mouse and keyboard for a decent price. The keyboard does feel a bit cheap on material but it feels great when typing. It is very responsive and the light is not too bright where you would need to turn the brightness down. For this keyboard there is only one color unfortunately at first which is orange and the same goes for the mouse even though the box shows multiple colors but you will need to download the software to change the color. The keyboard is a bit short around the keys making it easier to clean in my opinion. And the keys are pretty easy to pop off and clean if needed. The mouse feels great. It moves very smoothly and has a pretty fast response time. You can adjust it to make it less or more sensitive. It has three settings which is nice. The box it arrives in was rather large but protective. The mouse does benefit with a good mouse pad so be aware of that. The cable of the keyboard and mouse are nylon so you can rest assure that your cables will not have any issues with fraying or falling apart. Overall I think this keyboard is decent for a budget build or even for a back up gaming keyboard. It feels great and not uncomfortable. The lights make for a great show and are programmable without hurting my eyes.

I knew I wanted a light-up keyboard because it can be hard to see the keys at night since my keyboard is on a shelf under the desk. After struggling with all the choices, I opted for this one because of the mechanical feel, and am quite happy with my choice. I love the feel of the raised keys, however, if considering this, be aware that this type of keyboard is noisy... since I use it alone in my office, there's no one to disturb, and I like the sound of the typing, but I could see it potentially being a problem in any kind of shared space. The only other con (as noted by many reviewers, and on many of the alternate choices as well) is the size/shape of the Enter key with the placement of the \ key: this makes it very easy to add the slash, but does take some getting used to when hitting Enter, especially when you have small hands like I do (it's quite a stretch). Other pros: the weight of this keyboard (it doesn't slide around AT ALL); the |through light" so you can easily read the keys as well as a non-glary "surround" light (I'm sure there's a term, but I don't know it); the ability to change the intensity of the backlight (I like it bright); the ability to easily turn it off (I like to turn it off at night); very solid braided cord; and, yes, I like being able to change the color based on my mood. Certainly not a reason to buy one, but it's definitely a nice to have. VERY happy with my purchase.

Edited 11/19/2019 - It's been a little over three years since I picked up this keyboard and since then has really grown on me. So may not like the key stroke or travel time on the keys, but I'm not super picky about such things. For those who play FPS type games and really need super fast response time for the key's a $30 keyboard isn't probably something you want. The back-lighting on all my keys still function and though a little bit of black on the spacebar has worn off it's still in really good shape. The brand seems to have changed since I bought it though, originally it was Emarth and is now called Irealist.As long as the quality still holds up this for $30 is a decent keyboard. The one feature I like is you can hit Fn+W and your arrow and WSAD keys will swap bindings. this was great when I played Civ 5 a lot since it used the arrow key to move about the map and not WSAD. I could never play comfortably due to this, but this keyboard solved that without having to use a third party software or something else. There was no way(as far as I could tell) to change the key bindings in Civ 5. I mean this also help for other games that were set to use the arrow keys over WSAD.The only down side is forgetting that you did this and trying to type and wondering why WSAD are not working. Though that human error and not that of this keyboard. I saw one review of someone complaining they couldn't change the brightness of the backlighting of the keyboard and your can, That's Fn+PgUP/PgDN. The little sun key next to the Fn key allows you to cycle all the colors and Fn+that key will enter a demo breathing mode for the backlighting. I have upped my rating of this keyboard from 3 stars to 4.I mean it's lacking things people may want like programmable keys, setting colors of each individual key to a certain color and other bells and whistle you would get on fancier high end keyboard, but if you're buying this it's most likely you're strapped for cash and can't afford that nice fancy keyboard you'd really like or maybe you just want a simple keyboard that gives you enough for day to day function. Whatever the case, I hope I can get a few more years out of this keyboard before I have to worry about replacing it. It sure lasted longer then any of the Razer or Logitech keyboards I got in the past.10-3-2016I've only had it for a day, but it isn't bad for the price. I had an accident with my Logitech G910 involving soda. I thought I manage to move it quick enough, but it seemed a bit got in the keyboard area. Well it would spontaneously activate(even when not being touched), I tried cleaning it, but no luck. I'm going to keep trying to work on it and see if I can get the keyboard working right, but in the mean time I needing a replacement. The keys are not bad, but the keyboard clicking noise is a little annoying. The lighting on the keys are bright enough in the dark, It'll take me a bit to adjust being a long time user of Logitech keyboards, but I just don't have the cash on hand to afford another one at the moment.I'll update my feelings about it later day the road and see if my impression about this keyboard change or not.
