An illuminated keyboard is a fantastic idea and I wish I had discovered it sooner.  The back-lighting coupled with the large print make it much easier to see in a dimly lit room.  The only reason I knocked off a star is because the functions along the top (such as volume control, which I usually need to find quickly after I realize my son has cranked up the volume) are very tiny and poorly illuminated compared to the rest of the keyboard.  Still, a near-perfect purchase!

Awesome keyboard.
Not as quiet as expected; But highly customizable light up patterns, and easy set up. Material doesn't smudge.

Ordered two, one for me and one for my brother. The keyboards are AMAZING. One issue that I am a quite peeved about is that there is actually two versions of the lighting software, a LITE and NON-LITE which I will deduct a star for since there is nothing in the description about it. However, comparing the manuals that came with both keyboards have an obvious indication if it's the LITE version or not. The Keyboards physically are the same, it's just that the variety of lighting effects are different. Me and my brother have a love/hate feeling about it since we didn't exactly get the same keyboard but at least it adds a certain uniqueness. After what I said though, the keyboard is smooth, clicky, and aesthetically good-looking that I would recommend this keyboard and any Redragon product.

This mechanical keyboard feels great when I am typing. I ordered the rainbow keyboard and its lights are very bright and look great in the dark. For the price, this keyboard is good. not sure how it compares to other keyboards since this is my first mechanical keyboard but I am enjoying it so far

I have been using this keyboard for 2 monhts. I have to agree with some of the other reviews, when you first get this, the keys are strikingly big. HOWEVER, the reason I bought this keyboard is so at night, specifically I can see keys without having all the lights on in my office. IT DOES THAT PERFECTLY. If the keys were smaller the light would not be effective.

So for me, this keyboard has been great, no issues, great colors, the capability to dim and shut off the keyboard light if necessary.the extra function keys are cool as well. The only thing I can think of that might make for a feature is "custom" function keys.

My only con for the keyboard is the portion of the keyboard directly below the keys is a flat soft black, thats nice, but, it also has like a cross pattern that tends to capture dust etc.

This keyboard is the best I've ever had.  The illuminated keys are so easy to see.  I like to work in low light.  The action on the key mechanism is very smooth.  It's a good keyboard at a good price.  JN

It's kind of loud compared to modern keyboards, but the lighting system is really cool and is a great conversation starter.

The clickiness of the keys are so pleasing. I tend to type hard, so the 45g actuation force as well as the mechanical switch on the keys were easy for me to adjust to. I love the fact that this is a programmable keyboard, which comes in handy when gaming. The USB port on the side of the keyboard has come in so handy, I rarely use my PCs ports anymore. Now for the back lighting. This thing is impressive with the range of color and pattern at which you can have your keyboard set. Absolutely LOVE this keyboard!

I have been using the keyboard for several months now, and I really like it. Works well and I really like the back lighting on the keys.

This is a great keyboard. I like the fact that it lights up as you type, so you can basically use it in a dark room. My only complaint is that I thought it was wireless.

This is my first backlit keyboard, and I am very impressed with it. With many programmable keys, very bright backlight keys with good tacticle feedback, and a multipurpose LCD which can show you time, email, media info ( what song , what volume, etc ), countdown timers, and more, right out of the box, this keyboard rocks. I mainly got it for the backlit keys and for displaying time on the LCD screen, but it has many more useful features.

Right now I have it in my living room, connected to my home theater/gaming PC, but I am going to get one to put in my office, too. The extra features were worth giving up my wireless keyboard for, but if it had been wireless, it would have gotten a five.

In hind sight, I should have gone with something with colored back lighting. The light can be harsh at night. But this keyboard allows me to only back light the wasd and arrow keys. The texture of this keyboard is silky as can be. The lack of numpad is extremely awkward  But the room it gives my mouse hand more than makes up for the loss. The brown switches are noticeably quieter than reds.. All in all, this is another fantastic CM Storm.

I am so glad I bought this keyboard. I researched a lot of keyboards before I settled on this, even returning the cheap Genius brand LED gaming keyboard with media keys ($30).

I was looking for:
- Volume control knob (it has a touch-based control whose graphical interpretation of volume only works once you install drivers from the website, so after Plug n' Play remember to do that anyway or you might just have half the package)
- LED backlighting (very pleased it lights up the entire key, not the splotchy LED light up on other keyboards where you see half a character cause of weak light placement)
- Tactile indicators (I'm a touch typist and I gave a lot. I need that little notch on the F and J keys and was surprised to find the WASD keys are glossy to feel, minimizing me accidentally hitting the wrong keys while gaming)
- Small profile (the ridiculously large wrist rests are sometimes not removable but it is here, thankfully)

Possible cons
- Very, very heavy. May be a good thing if you have pets who'll push things around, but I wouldn't take this to a LAN party.
- Very, very wide. The cons are starting to sound like a "your mom" joke. But this beast is proably 30% wider than the average keyboard. Make SURE you have desk space. I can understand customizeable buttons on the left, but I cannot fathom why they have them on the right too. (I'm right-handed, sue me.)

beter than a backlit keyboard. the color coding rally is a great addition. the space bar has  little rippeling, but oher than that its pretty flush fitting.

This keyboard was still a little louder than i would have liked so I added dampeners and it sounds much better.  I really like the feel from this keyboard.  I didn't know how much i didn't like regular keyboards until i began to use this one with regularity.

The software is really cool and if you couldn't figure it out in 10 minutes on your own the tech world may not be for you.  I thought the software was very easy to understand and I have no problems showing off the different patterns and lighting effects it can do when my other gamer friends are over.  The typing style is my favorite, where it lights up the keys u press as you type.  I use mostly a solid color of blue to match the rest of my set up.  I like the texture on the space bar too!

My daughter loves to sit on my lap and press the key to turn the lights on and through the brightness settings and I am thankful this does not interrupt use of the keyboard.

A great keyboard at a great price. Although I've seen reviews at 50 dollars, 60 is by no means overpriced. For the first day, this keyboard has truly impressed me.

Aesthetics: The keyboard has great lighting through its transparent switches, and shines brilliantly through the PBT keycaps. The lighting can be customized to a rather impressive extent, withe per key selection with the PU and PD keys on the far right of the keyboard. I personally have created two "profiles", for typing and gaming. The keyboards saved the configuration of lit keys. Special effects need to be changed manually every time however this is not a big issue. The special lighting effects are impressive, although I do with it was possible to somehow customize the color of the effects, but this is nit-picking.

The branding is very simple and out of the way on the spacebar, which is a huge plus. It's a small, simple keyboard with quality plastics and an aluminum plate on the top of the board. I do like how the F keys are integrated into the number keys to save space, and the use of the sides of the keycaps to show multiple uses per key. Feels fantastic in the hand with the PBT plastic as well.

Typing: I chose the Outemu Brown switches as I wanted to have a tactile, yet quieter switch. The tactile bump is a bit small, but it is certainly there and is great to type on. I kept on trying to find things to type just to have the experience. The typing experience rivals my Corsair K65 with the better keycaps and of course tactile feedback. I did not find any instability in the keys like other reviews have said. Nor have I had connectivity issues in terms of typing, however I did notice the spacebar does not work when Shift is held, so perhaps N-key rollover is not fully supported in BT mode. Otherwise, rollover seemed to work fine in BT mode paired with my LG G4 smart phone.

Connectivity: Connection of BT between devices is a bit janky, but it works beautifully when set up. I am able to quickly transition between my computer and my phone by the press of two buttons on the keyboard (FN+Q, FN+W). However, it did take some time to figure out how to swap quickly as prior the keyboard was having authentication issues between devices when swapping. Hopefully this can be corrected in the future with a manual.

All in all, this is an amazing keyboard for the money and definitely rivals that of other boards at this price point for what you're getting. Of course, you're not getting true Cherry MX switches, but the Outemu switches keep the cost down and allow for other features to be implemented at this price point. My only complaint would be pinging during typing on the board, however this is common in boards with a backplate such as this. I will definitely be buying the blues variant of this board when possible!
