- Reviewed in the United States on November 12, 2022its really good for playing games not to good for typing but also the keys stick out quite a bit so its a bit hard to move from key to key smoothely especially if youve been useing a flater keyboard for gaming before htis also better to use only for gaming not good for any other work or anything else absoulutely horable for typig causually or heavily
- Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2022I saw a sale for this on an amazon affiliated twitter account. It was listed at 14.99. The shopaholic in me thought, DAMN its normally 50$, that is a bargain! I even already have a fantastic keyboard (the corsair k70 rapidfire I bought 6+ years ago) and I still pulled the trigger on this to use as a backup keyboard and with my laptop I keep in the other room. I was not disappointed. The build quality is very good, rgb is great, keys feel good (not as good as my k70 but maybe i just need to get used to it) and overall is a great keyboard to get into gaming or just general typing. Also has gaming macro keys, media keys, and programmable rgb with software configurability.
My only disappointment with it so far is that it didn't come with a wrist rest. Perhaps that is something I had just gotten used to with my K70. Still, this value is so incredible I would not flinch picking it up for $15. If you see it on sale, go for it.
- Reviewed in the United States on September 7, 2022I think this keyboard is great. It feels solid when typing, makes a satisfying sound when keys are pressed, and has really nice lighting effects, compared to my old NPET RGB keyboard. I'm not an overly greasy person. That being said, the plastic material is, surprisingly, not getting smeared with skin grease as I expected, given the type of plastic it is. Not all keyboards fare as well, -- lookin' at you, Dell and Lenovo -- but after a week or so of using it about 6+ hours a day, I can't see any smearing or discoloration.
When I received the keyboard, the box was pretty beat up. The inner boxes looked fine, but at least two keys were 'popped off' and freely floating inside the bag with the keyboard. I was able to pop these back on with prior knowledge of mechanical keyboards. However, as a point-of-fact, my wife has very little IT experience and had no idea how to reseat a popped-off key. I can imagine if this happens to others with the same skill level as my wife, they may need to search online for how to reattach the keys.
Outside of that, I'll echo what others have mentioned here in other reviews. The placement for the macro keys are annoying. If you're a proficient typist, then you've likely developed a technique to cheat and find the home-row by sliding your hand from the edge of the keyboard to the shift/ctrl etc. With this keyboard, you will die, fall off things, and time stuff incorrectly in every single game you play as you frustratingly hit a key that doesn't do what you expect it to. If you attach actual functions to the macro keys, you'll likely end up in worse shape if those macros open or close apps or processes.
I have no idea why the macros had to be placed on that side. Most of us game, which is what this keyboard is marketed to, with a mouse in our right hand and our left hand on the left-most portion of the keyboard. Why EVGA decided to put the macro keys on the side you place your hand over the most, is beyond me. It would have made 100x more sense to put it on the right side, and not just for the reason of accidental pressing. Let me explain:
If you've ever bound any key on your mouse (such as a forward/back button) or used the mouse/keyboard for work tasks, you'll likely have used your mouse-thumb to hit enter or something similar on the keypad. The macro keys would have made a lot more sense on that side, allowing for quick taps of your macro keys with your mouse-hand, ensuring the placement of your left hand was always in the right spot. Just like cupholders in cars, I am pretty sure these designs look good on paper but suck in real-world practicality.
Not wanting to admit defeat, I am going to keep the keyboard and either try to find a way to prevent macro keys existence by removing them, or look for a 3D printable option to prevent accidental use. If I find a way to workaround it, I'll come back here and post an update with my method.
This is a good keyboard. It feels nice, it sounds nice, the colors are fluid, and the construction feels solid. The placement of those macro keys prevents this from being a 5-star, in my book. Oh, and if you use a standard keyboard at another location, prepare to be frustrated for the opposite reason -- getting used to the hand placement with the macros on the left, only to have your hand be off with your other keyboards.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 22, 2023Its a nice keyboard at the price. But its not very bright at all. A problem I had with an old Logitech before. I got a Razer KB in between and it was very bright and I loved it for it. But the keys and switch were bad. Wouldn't stay on and popped off all the time during gaming.
Anyways this one the keys and switch are nice and stay where they should. Just wish it was bright. And also that it wouldn't go into sleep mode and turn of all lighting if it sits for a short amount of time.
But for the price its good.
Didn't rate the vol control as I dont use it.

- Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2023RGB lights are great, keys work fine. Had trouble getting used to mechanical keyboard since I’m used to chiclet laptop keyboards but it wasn’t so hard. The only thing I hate is that the keys keep getting loose and coming out.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 16, 2024This is the first mechanical keyboard I've owned. However, I have used them at other places, and this one feels every bit as premium as anything I've ever tried. What a huge difference in feel and quality! I love this thing! It's kind of loud, but in a good way, because it's the sound of me pounding out perfect sentences! The feel and accuracy is incredible. I couldn't recommend this keyboard enough. Too bad EVGA quit making graphics cards!
- Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2022The arrow keys have been severely neglected; the keyboard will refuse to recognize the right arrow key being held down if the CTRL key and at least one other arrow key are already held. This is a severe problem for any game that uses these keys, especially ones which do not natively support key rebinding. Only buy this keyboard if you are certain that you will not be playing ANY games which use those keys.
It's a shame too, because other than that the keyboard is fantastic. The keys have a very strong tactile feedback, are very easy to depress, and the layout itself is pretty easy to get used to. I was really loving this keyboard until I went to play an older game I love and discovered that the arrow keys have been neglected, I didn't want to have to return this keyboard but it's simply unworkable for some of the games I play.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 9, 2024I've had this keyboard for 2 years now and I love it. Have had no issues at all. I don't use it for gaming so can't speak on that, but in the office it's great. I love that you can change the different light settings. I paid $15 at the time and it was well worth it. Would not pay the $60 it is listed at now though.

Cliente de AmazonReviewed in Mexico on August 11, 2023
5.0 out of 5 stars Excelente relación precio y calidad
Facil de instalar, llego a tiempo y el sentimiento de las teclas, tamaño, y soporte de luces RGB hacen perfecto juego con mi mouse the Logitech, EVGA siempre ha sido una compañia bastante buena para fuentes de poder y tarjetas graficas (esta ultima hasta hace poco, lamentablemente). Pero el teclado es una maravilla, excelente, excelente.
P.S: El teclado tiene unas teclas del lado izquierdo que pueden desactivar la tecla de windows si los presionas sin querer, es una cosa facil de arreglar, simplemente presiona el boton "E" en la parte superior izquierda del teclado; no es un inconveniente muy frecunete, pero puede parecer como si el teclado no funcionara y pensé que sería relevante mencionarlo aquí, en caso de que pueda ayudar a alguien más.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good quiet keyboard for office.
Nice and quiet keyboard. I did try the puddin transparent keycaps and found them to be loud so I put the black side printed keys taht I had instead and were much quieter. Good for an office keyboard.
