NPET Professional New Colorful Illuminated Backlight USB Wired Ergonomic For PC Gaming Backlit Keyboard Led Desktop

exactly as advertised

I always just used my K120 Logitech Keyboard, its 10 bucks, I can use up to like 5 keys at once and never had trouble with how many keys Im allowed, its quiet when typing, the keys are easy to press and find, and it did the job well.However, after 5 years of use, it broke. (Finally, I know right?) and I decided to spend a whole 7 dollars more on a keyboard.Then I bought this, its terrible, the buttons are clickey, the cord is flimsey, the lights are so shiny it hurts my eyes.Just kidding.The buttons are amazing, what become easy to click, became easier, everything feels so smooth, the keys are fairly quiet but its probably just because I am a light typer. The lights allow me to turn my lights off and not have to guess where my keys are when I type. I found my WPM went up by 10 words per minute, originally it was 60, now its 70. Much easier to type because of the smooth and easy transition for my fingers and how open, easy, and strong the buttons are. Each button feels distinct and easy to find for my muscle memory.The buttons are tough as nails, I can easily tell this keyboard will last a while, its easy to clean under them due to how the keyboard was made, literally can just blow the gunk off with a can of ultra duster.As for the gaming part, every single key I press reacts, I can press as many damned keys as I want and they all work perfectly. The best part is how the F1 - F4 is set up, each F keys are lined in 4, this means in games that require me to use F1 - F4 are much easier to play because of how the intelligent designers set this up. For instance, in SC2 I need to press the F keys to set up my camera hotkey so its easier to move from location to location, I am CONSTANTLY pressing these keys as Zerg and before I always tended to hit ESC or F5 but because of how these keys are set up, I never make those mistakes again. And due to the distinction of the F keys, I never accidently hit the wrong F key anymore either. Dramatically improving my capability to play.Whats more, sometimes even with my K120, I have to press more than 5 keys and that 6th key wont go through. This means if I have to run and turn, which is A, D, Shift, and then jump, space, and then press Capslock to talk, and then ult which is `, my ult wont go off because thats 6 keys. In Overwatch this is incredibly common. You need to constantly run, jump, talk, and sometimes ult at the same time. Many times I make this mistake, I will wind up dying or causing someone else to die. However, no longer does this happen with this keyboard!The LED keys are great, not too bright. I wish I could have a only blue option but I dont mind.I only have one negative thing to say: The space sucks balls, its loud, and... well its just loud. I am a very quiet typer because of how my fingers have to move quickly accross the keyboard and every time I have to press space I cringe a little. I found out why its like this, the springs arent tightened, whoever made this keyboard made the springs on it very loose however thats also another great thing about this keyboard: You can fix it because you can see the springs, which means with a knife or tweezers, you can easily push the springs apart a bit to tighten up the spacebar. I just havent gotten around to it.This keyboard is a work of art, for the price, I'd say its 100 percent worth it. I'd say this is worth 60 bucks in my opinion but I'll go with 19, I aint complainin.

Pro:Nice feel. The stroke is a bit long compared to my last keyboard but the feel is excellent. Just while writing this review I have gotten used to the longer stroke.Heavy back plate. This puppy is not sliding around without me intending to move it.I am not sure if a mechanical keyboard but it sure feels like it.Very inexpensive for a mechanical keyboard.This will probably be the easiest keyboard to clean since when you used to unplug them and take them into the shower with you a 2 or 3 decades ago. There is no tray the keys are sitting in to hold dust, bits of potato chip, cat hair (my cats like laying on keyboards for some reason), ... I do not see even a reason to remove the keycaps except to put on different ones for different languages.Con:Tabs for raising angle of the keyboard, like so many including expensive keyboards are cheap fragile plastic and will probably break within a few months.No macro keys, programmable or otherwise. To be honest this might be unfair. A great many keyboards have abandoned using macro keys but they really help with a lot of programs including productivity software but gaming especially. I think programming them gives people fits. Oh well. Also this is a very inexpensive keyboard with a mechanical keyboard feel.Other:The lighting schemes are nice but I would personally prefer just a straight white lighting behind the keys. I am retired. I am a vampire as to my sleep wake cycle. I am up usually all night long and up only in the daytime if there is something I have to do. I however do not wish to waste electricity so I tend to keep the lights off. This means I cannot see my keyboard and with my aging eyes, I really want as much contrast to make it easy to read what the keys are at night.I am considering purchasing another couple for backups for when this eventually (hopefully far in the future) fails.

1st, this is a good keyboard for the money, but beware:- I liked my old NPET keyboard better(keys felt less spongy, personal preference).- The clear letters/numbers on the keys that the LED light bleeds through are not high quality and crisp lettering (hard to make out what some symbols are).- The LED color constantly scrolls across the keyboard. You can slow it down, but it still does it.- The LEDs don't just shine through the keys. The light shines up under the keys too. This is distracting. I just want the light to be under the keys so I can make out what the keys are in a dark room and I want to be able to dim the LEDs down to the point where I can still make out the symbols/letters/numbers, but not blind me. Its similar to the effect of turning the light on in your vehicle at night.- The LEDs have a sleep function which could be nice, but you need the ability to turn it off. I have to hit the ctrl button to wake it back up so that I can see the button that I actually need to press.

As strictly a keyboard? This product is...fairly good. Keys have a nice feel to them. No false key clicks, no excessive pressure required and so on. Would be nice if the letters were solid and didn't contain spaces in them like they were printed using an old stencil but, hey, so what if my "B" key looks like a palm tree growing out of the ground if viewed sideways? And my "O" key an omega symbol without the loops on the ends?Where this product really fails is with the backlight timeout. If you don't press a key, it's "lights out" after 7 minutes and 11 seconds. No way to adjust that or turn it off. You've got to find...in the dark...because your backlit keyboard isn't lit...and press a key to turn it on again.Oh, and I'll save you the effort of using a search engine for a hack or solution: There isn't one. Any ones that you find apply strictly to the cordless version. If you're using the USB version like I am, none of those work. Which is kind of silly because, seriously, how much power are you going save by turning off the backlight after 7 minutes of keyboard inactivity...pennies?So, if you want a continuously lit keyboard, this isn't the one for you. If you want keys without strange gaps in the lettering, this isn't the one for you. Other than that? Go for it.
