OCZ Alchemy USB2.0 Keyboard W/ 10 Macro Keys * 1 Year MFR Warranty *
Cons:- takes a while to get used to rubber keys
Pros:- price- very responsive keys- programmable buttons Comment:
Overall this keyboard is very solid and works well in games. The rubberized feel of the keyboard takes a bit of time to get used to and the palm rest could be slightly larger. |

Cons:- Wished the wrist rest would had been 1 inch longer and/or softer but guess I can't ask for soft leather on a 26$ keyboard like on my Microsoft Reclusa at home of 60$ lol.- It's being manufactured by a dumb (sous-traitant) of OCZ. I saw a reviewer that had this keys ALT & CTRL inverted thought only the text but still annoying at first. On mine it's the (Home) key that shows (Num Lock) ... (-_-)- Not the most silent keyboard but not too loud neither. Anyway even the quiestest keyboard will get loud after a short time if used heavily.
Pros:- Very soft keys. I love the ruberised keys just like the surface of my Razer Lachesis mouse.- Very cheap for its quality. Actually I highly doubt that you'll find any better for 26$.- Shortcut keys are nice and well place. They are plug-in-play so no need to install any software to use them. Software is just required for the blue hotkeys.- USB 2.0 so no lame PS/2 connector Comment:
I bought this keyboard for the job only since when you think about it, I'll be more often typing at job than at home so I need a good one for my health and performance. I first bought a (Logitech Office Pro Keyboard) price-matched at 11$ only to find out that our bull**** Dell computers at work doesn't have PS/2 ports, something which I never ever saw from my whole life as a PC enthusiast, even on old crappy computers. Also watch out for the "compact layout" and mostly for the low-profile keys as you might not like that. I never used that kind of keyboards and it felt kind of awkward but after 2-3 days I'm not getting pretty used and good with it. |
Great little keyboard, got on sale for 24.99. The feel of the keys is nice with the rubbery texture. Still adjusting from the slightly different layout from previous keyboard, but no fault of the board itself. The software that comes with the board is a little minimalist, but does function adequately.Some back lighting would have been nice, but for 25 dollars you can't go wrong with this multi function keyboard.
