Excellent and very comfortable
But the finder of dust and fingerprints
A quality keyboard to be sure... December 20, 2008
Raymond H. Merrick (Front Royal, VA)
I have had this keyboard for a few days now. I am a light gamer but get plenty of typing in. I abandoned my Microsoft Natural Keyboard for this Razer because I wanted an illuminated keyboard and the product reviews for the Razer Lycosa impressed me more than the other illuminated keyboards I researched. I went with this particular Razer keyboard because I figured the glossy keys would not attract as much dirt as the other Lycosa keyboard with the matted finish.
This is a very slick keyboard -literally! The glossy keys tend to make my fingers slide over them a little -but it is minor and I will adjust.
The lighting is perfect for my conditions: a slightly darkened family room. Day or night -the lighting is excellent. One thing to note: there is a Razer logo on the wristpad but it does not light up.
The keys possess a light crisp feel. Sort of in between a laptop keyboard and a standard pc keyboard.
This keyboard is thin and the extended back legs raises the keyboard about half an inch. Keyboard measures 18 inches across.
I have not used the built-in audio or USB ports -yet.
The keyboard possesses a flat touch panel above the right hand number keys for changing keyboard modes: lighting off, wasd, lighting on.
I do not regret this purchase. I wish it were in the MS Ergonomic style but I haven't found one of those that are illuminated. All-in-all -very good feel, excellent build quality, excellent lighting.
Nice, sleek, takes some getting used to December 13, 2008

I just received this keyboard yesterday and since there are no reviews, I'm sure people are holding out to know if this keyboard is any good. Well, it is to a point. It's backlit blue, there is no other color option just so you know.
Pros:
It looks sleek and shiny. The finish is very shiny and polished like some new HDTVs you see.
The backlighting on the keys look really nice and well lit. It'd very subtle on all the keys and looks like the keys are naturally glowing instead of being lit. When the backlighting is off it just looks solid black, which is cool. The keys won't light when on standby or powered off.
The keystroke is somewhat short, which I kind of like. It's halfway between a standard keyboard and a laptop's keys without being too close.
There is a macro program you can use to change key functions, disable keys, and enable macros that automatically activate when you start certain games. Best use, you can turn off the windows button or any other button you want.
You can enable just WASD lighting on your keyboard for gaming, which actually helps a lot.
Cons:
The glaze mixed with short keys adds to typos. It might just take getting used to as I moved from a standard keyboard with huge keys to this.
While the backlighting is great, the lighting on the Caps, Num, Scroll buttons is incredibly bright. I wish you could disable just certain lights, but you can't. In fact, you can't even turn it off unless you turn num off and so on.
If you're used to knowing where you are on the keyboard by the bumps on F, J, and 5... you might have a hard time. They are very slightly raised.
The up arrow and left arrow are flush with the keyboard while the other two are slightly raised. This is a bit annoying for now.
Fingerprints fingerprints, EVERYWHERE! Yeah, it's a problem if you care about it. You only notice it in a well lit room. I can barely see them in my office and if you're in the type of lighting where backlit keyboard would be needed, you probably wouldn't notice them. They did include a nice microfiber cloth for ridding of your smudges.
Concerns:
Will this wear down? I worry that the glaze might wear off because I've never had a piece of electronics with this glazed look that I actually constantly touch.
The lasting period of the backlighting. I couldn't find any info on this. While it looks way more solid than competitor keyboards, all lights burn out eventually.
Conclusion:
I have not found any of the problems in this keyboard that most people had in their other razer keyboards. I actually like this keyboard quite a bit, the only problems I have are getting used to the keys and that annoyingly bright num lock. It does have a mic, headphone, and USB jack in the back of it. While the USB is helpfull, I have surround sound so the headphones and mic are not. Both of those items plug directly into my system.
You can't see it but the ports are above the pause and scroll buttons on the back of the board. The board also has legs to prop it up slightly higher, not high enough I think as it barely makes a difference. The cord is slightly longer than a standard keyboard and the extra ports cords are all given enough rope to let you plug them in comfortably.
