See my "willbill" overview of two weeks ago. See my "willbill" evaluation of two weeks ago. No variation with the 2nd board. Keys are still mushier than I like. 5 stars for worth. Those that hate mushy keys must acquire a mini Cherry G84-5200LCMEU-2 103 keys. This 104 i-Rocks has two residence keys. Each boards have 2 Ctrl keys (some mini keyboards drop the 2nd Ctrl important). Considering that I gave this 5 stars, I had to give the Cherry 5 stars. Cherry also has superior overall make good quality, and is nevertheless slightly smaller than this board, which is a big plus in my book for the Cherry. The Cherry does, even so, expense a lot more than twice as significantly. An interesting case of finding what one particular pays for.

What caught me the most is the light up feature; seriously helps!! Key's took a bit "breaking in" (few weeks). I speak of how keys didn't appear the register on initial stroke.Also, I feel the keyboard layout is a small tiny, thinking about i have hands bigger than the typical person. One actually begins to notice it when utilizing the arrow keys. Pro or con: no shortcut keys.This keyboard genuinely grew on me the moment i learned to cope with it...For budgeted gamers!!!

Illuminated orange looks good. Not a gaming keyboard, not really a keyboard for anything. The keys are way as well bunched up, nearly impossible for gaming and typing really should never ever be a chore. Would skip it.

Comment:
- each and every essential is individually lit in contrast to others which are just randomly lit- tiny and compact- quiet - keys are slightly stiff but are nonetheless quite responsive

I was looking for a keyboard with only the letters and numbers lit up, and no light amongst keys. This is best in that respect. The keys are not like laptop keys, which is fantastic with me. They are very good to variety on, the keys aren't too squishy, have a good really feel, but aren't loud. It's like a soft firmness. The only thing I'll take an egg off for is the truth that the lighting is *slightly* uneven across the board. It's honestly barely noticeable. In the dark (which is when the light is on for me) you cant truly inform. The layout is a bit funky, but no eggs off for that, I saw that in the picture. It's just going to take a tiny receiving utilized to. General a wonderful keyboard, precisely what I was searching for.

Keys have great feel. Lights up properly devoid of being overpowering or distracting. Orange matches my logitech speaker controller, and G5 mouse. newegg description says that the keyboard is USB/PS2. the keyboard i got is only USB. On the side of the box are two checkboxes for USB or USB/PS2, and I got a USB only one. I had planned on utilizing it as a PS2 keyboard. No multimedia keys, in spite of a good empty space up top for some. I specifically wanted a keyboard that was smaller then usual, whilst nonetheless obtaining a total NUMpad. The placement of the keys takes a tiny even though to get employed to, but isn't bad.

Comment:
Necessary a smaller sized keyboard to fit my desk space, was truly impressed how effectively the crucial's respond and they also light up. Has undoubtedly improved on my fps games. None! Thanks.

Comment:
Vivid backlight, cleanly shaped letters, compact size, uncomplicated to use keys. No media buttons. Nicely worth it for the cash!

Back lighting is fantastic, the orange also adds a uniqueness to it taking into consideration Most are either red or blue these days. Keys are relatively soft and effortless to press, swift plug n play. No nonsensical multimedia keys that have little to no usage is a big plus to me. Minimalistic to an efficient and effective level. 1st of all as quite a few others have pointed out it is NOT PS2. The box itself clearly states that the anti ghosting is only productive via the PS2 which in this day and age is just odd to say the least. Smaller, and will certainly take some getting utilized to if you are like myself and are applied to conventional bigger spaced keyboards. I got this keyboard to serve me becoming able to sort at night with out having lights on, and to be compact and simple sufficient to transport from my dorm to my house. As far as gaming is concerned, it took some getting employed to adapt this layout but not long, as i'm currently comfy gaming with it. I play FPS, so no genuine want to have programmable keys anyway.Not specifically a con, but just a note about this business. The specifications about this keyboard are misleading, and on top rated of that they were a couple of important typo's on the back of the box. Even if this firm is not english speaking, if they are going to be exporting internationally they should ATLEAST have somebody checking anything like this, not really qualified.

Backlighting operates fantastic, keys feel adequately clicky, good and tiny, potential to turn backlight on and off with a button. Some keys should be slightly bigger, like ctrl and esc but not a biggy. would like some sort of spacing to set apart the arrow keys. Backlight turns off when you turn off computer, which is nice. Feels a lot like a laptop keyboard

Back-lit Keys don't feel proper. "w" crucial takes fairly a bit of force to register, far more than other keys do, which will bother you if your a gamer.Feels really low cost.Back-lighting is ok but it even looks low-cost, like the some parts of the letters are not cut right and it doesn't bleed by means of well.Smaller than I expected (I knew it was smaller sized , but it is genuinely too smaller. If you have bigger hands than an common woman's hands, I doubt you will like it. I wanted to really like this keyboard. I know you get what you pay for, but this was ฮ. Save up an extra ฤ and get something greater high quality. Really disappointed in the keyboard, expected a bit more for ฮ. Stinks I have to spend for shipping to RMA this.

BacklitOrange+Black looks great Arrow KeysCorrect Shift Print Screen is oddly spot. Some thing you can get used to no doubt. I guess if you played like MapleStory this keyboard would suck. Types quite excellent but gaming? Not positive. Only have half my build. Will update when I can test it with games.

Functions specifically as it is supposed to. Very good really feel. Lighted and that can be turned on and off. None

Comment:
Tiny.Backlit.Smooth keys.Quiet typing.Low price. Left CTRL important is smaller than the common and isn't as effortless to reach. FPS games utilize CTRL a lot so this is some what of an problem.After adapting to the small size I'm confident this keyboard would be nearly flawless. Wonderful keyboard if you want a thing modest and inexpensive.

Comment:
Quite excellent keyboard compact but i knew that currently requires some getting use to.

Immediately after searching at all diverse sorts of keyboards at all different price tag ranges, this keyboard matches the layout very best for what its goal is going to be for me. I'm glad that input devices, connectors, and peripheral's ARN'T all standardized. If they had been, it wouldn't be a Computer, it would just be a common computer! None, it serves it purpose perfectly. Meh @ people that want things standardized!

This board was excellent for me--tiny type element suggests you have much more area on your desk, and they did an exceptional job of squishing the keys together (arrow keys are fine given that WASD is where the actual action takes place...) The orange backlighting is the great shade of orange for an enthusiast of the color like myself, and they are undoubtedly vibrant sufficient in dark rooms for any sort of use. Becoming able to turn the backlight off when unnecessary or undesirable is also a massive plus for me. For ฮ or much less, this board is great. A handful of extra bells and whistles like media controls, gaming lighting (aka lighting up WASD only), and the like could have been nice, but these aren't something I've truly missed. However, a modest amount of sticky liquid got into 1 of the keys on the board and I have not been capable to get it to function the identical due to the fact. My "B" is fairly significantly useless even with the most intense quantity of cleaning, so I have offered up on trying. I could purchase yet another 1 of these and just be a small additional cautious with the liquids nearby. Absolutely nothing much. This is a great low profile board that will handle gaming, word processing, and whatever else you throw at it (except for liquids...and dinosaurs).

1. Slim/mini keyboard, but 104 keys. HoorayŌ. TWO Ctrl keys!ō. Backlit keys; component of my keyboard is in shadow beneath my CRT monitor.four. Worth, which means downright low price tag.5. Decent essential action; not fantastic but taking into consideration the low cost extremely impressive. No false keyingŐ. Some gaming capability! Quite small.Some odd placement of a few keys, but that's typical with mini/slim keyboards.Also see other thoughts. In the not as well distant past, the good keyboards (key action) had been all made by IBM. Their typewriters, and then the keyboards for their early Pc laptop or computer (circa ྐ), followed by their XT/AT personal computers.The important action on this i-rocks keyboard is surprisingly decent, in particular contemplating the low price, which is why I give it five stars.I've currently placed an order for a 2nd and may possibly do a 3rd.I mean when you uncover a mouse or keyboard that you actually LIKE, stock up!

looks wonderful with my custom built pc. keys are a little too close but the principal problem is that when the light is on - the keyboard won't operate. when the light is off the keyboard works 75% of the time. this is even additional annoying when i have to boot the pc (dual booting two linux HD's) and can't use up/down arrows to select from kernel menu. it worked at first, but now i believe there is a short with the button to turn on the led light. i don't know if i had this as well long to get an RMA

Amazingly smaller, quiet, in a position to be applied for these nights where you're up all night and can't see the keyboard. Takes receiving employed to, but no other cons. As I said in the cons, this keyboard DOES take receiving utilised to but it's entirely worth it if you're wanting a great gaming keyboard. The lights are interchangeable so don't be concerned if you don't like the orange LEDs

Fully functional keyboard devoid of all the extras. It's finding tough to find keyboards these days that are basic and classic. The back-light is great. The keys glow, are simple to see, but aren't blinding. There's any easy on/off switch to on the upper correct corner in situation you don't always want the light on. This could sound ridiculous, as it was a private con, so I did not deduct an egg. If, for any reason, you need to remove your keys, I would just call/write the firm and ask how it is to be carried out before trying. Unfortunately my keyboard is a household a single and at times it is eaten over. When I made an attempt to clean it, some of the plastic clips that hold the keys in location snapped suitable off upon removal. Soon after placing them back, typing became much much more tough as there wasn't any genuine tension and the letters would hardly ever register. The metal band that holds and creates flexibility with the space bar was completely impossible to get back in spot. Hitting the spacebar anytime after that had to be performed abruptly and with a very good amount of force, it would also pop off completely quite often. It is worth noting that I have cleaned many keyboards before and never had an issue like this.I'm now typing this assessment from my second board bought. It must be noted that this keyboard is Small. I have fairly decent sized hands and can use it fairly effectively. The buttons nonetheless, are very crammed together, you will frequently have to look down to place them: house important, arrow keys, and so on. To accommodate for this design, I placed smaller sticky plastic dots on the keys (you can locate these anywhere, look in crafts, the nail section, art shops, and so on or make them oneself). This brought on the keys to take on a braille-like effect and rather of getting to glance down, I could really feel the raised surface and know which keys to hit.-The enter key is classic. Be aware of this. I personally bought this certain board again due to the fact I can not stand the now far more frequently accepted over-sized enter keys.-Crucial tension is best to me but what some might think about stiff. It undoubtedly isn't like a laptop keyboard where you can kind really gently and have the very same results. You aren't going to have to put extreme effort either, I just believed I'd make a note of i

-Tiny-Great construction-Great backlight-Fantastic crucial response -Slightly strange layout on some keys-Keys will need fairly a bit of force to hold down. Ends up with extremely tired fingers while gaming. It's a excellent low-cost typer. Completely does not operate for me for gaming, the keys regularly "release" even though holding a crucial down for gaming. You have to hulk down on them to remain operating/crouching/whatever.

No problems with ghosting, which has been in quite a few keyboards cons(ones that expense Much more than this one, as well). Subtle but a lot visible backlight. Comfy for gaming. The keys are raised a small, but not substantially, mayb threeቬth inch. In among laptop and full size. It looks good devoid of seeming geeky or completely covered in buttons and functions. This is excellent for gaming and light/medium typing. Mayb not the ideal for an individual who types all day as element of their job or one thing. It's nevertheless great, but not the *best* for that. It is referred to as a *gaming* keyboard even though. I'm undoubtedly pleased with this. Would advise to anyone. The saved desk space can be a plus too. Nonetheless performs immediately after a month of moderate use.
