Very good keyboard!
Very soft keyboard, not really loud, the keys work with low pressure, very good for gaming. The lights are beautiful and diffused. The volume and the extra button are a nice touch, I didn't think i'd need it but surprise surprise. It is heavy enough, seems very sturdy and the magnet pad had a nice touch it's just really good. Worth the money for me.

Quite silent, great key feel. Good enough RGB zoning. Comfortable. For the price? Killer
Even though it is a tad high, using the provided wrist support makes it a very comfortable kb. (Btw, the wrist support is attached with a couple of magnets so it snaps in to place and detaches itself easely, super easy). RGB zoning is a good enough, specially if you're not planning in using super flashy setups (I always set mine to 'breathing' or 'static'). So no per-key RGB, but going one model up gives you that if you wish so, but the type of key mechanism is different, as this is a membrane keyboard, which makes it a little more silent than mechanical keys, but there's no option to chose from (as with mechanical kb which have different types of switches). All in all, key stroke lenght is not overly deep so it's quick enough for typing for most people and not bad for gaming (most likely for most people too). The volume rocker/mute button works great, but it doesn't have other dedicated media controls by default (except play/pause) , but as the keyboard is customizable (per key) with the Steel Series Engine software, you can set different profiles and use the 'M' keys as media keys (it has 6 'M' keys that double as INS, HOME, PG UP, DEL, END and PG DN, the M is activated by pressing the Steel Series key, like a Fn key) if it's something you need. If pairing this kb with a SteelSeries mouse with customizable buttons, you can use those for media. On the back it allows for the most convenient cable routing as it has locking clips to make the cable 'exit' the kb from any side or from the center. Nice little detail. Price point is great as the quality is very good for an 'entry level' model, and despite having a plastic body it's rigid enough. Only caveat I find is that keys are a little high, but it's mainly a purely aesthetic opinion and my personal taste. 5 stars for now, will review in a couple of months with a use report.

Great keyboard, extremely durable, reliable, etc.
Had for over 2 and a half years now, has not failed me in any way (except one, which is my fault and I'll get onto that later). Great design, the RGB lights work great, you can change the modes directly on the keyboard or you can use the Steelseries Engine to create your own custom RGB lights mode. The keys themselves are very high quality, sound great, and are very responsive (although I don't play many games that require millisecond-responses, so I can't tell you much about latency). The media controller in the top right is amazing, it has a button that you can use to pause/unpause, skip or go backwards, and it's relatively responsive. You also have a volume roller, which feels great to use, and you can press down on it to instantly mute. I've had this for a while now, and even though when I rage I slam my keyboard extremely hard, the actual keys have never broken. The only thing that's broken are the stands at the back, but I just put them back together with superglue. Issues? Well, the lights that tell you if Numlock, Capslock etc. are on are obscured by the keys, so I have to lean forwards to see them. Also, the wrist support is not the most comfortable wrist support of keyboards around this price range, but it's also not the worst. That's it for the issues. Overall, great keyboard! 9.5/10

Great Keyboard, only a few bad points
Pros: -SWITCHES. great. they're a really nice type of membrane that feel really stable. better than any other membrane i've used. for someone used to a normal membrane this thing is amazing. for someone used to mechanical, it varies: in my opinion they're a nicer version on the blues, they have a nice solid bump to press going down, the rubber makes them quiet but not squishy when they hit the bottom. -TYPING. because of the solid bump they're great for typing, nicer than mechanicals in my opinion -GAMING. having tried out many keyboards for gaming i notice that you really can get used to any switches while gaming so that doesnt matter that much. dont notice any feeling of slowness or input lag. (warning: this item does not make you good at any game) -QUALITY. everything but the wheel top right is made of a rubber coated plastic, high quality for price. nice rubber on all keyboard feet and wrist rest. -KEYS. had this for a while now and none of the keys/switches feel any different or defected yet -SPACEBAR. i have to give credit to the spacebar and the rest of the larger keys, they have amazing stability. the space probably wobbles less left to right than the other keys. that individual switch feels exactly like the rest which is rare on a keyboard on keyboards even above this price range. -RGB. the rgb (lights) are great. supposed to be fully customisable with software but i think its bugged at the moment. no big deal though because default is fine. brightness can be turned down and off if you like that. Cons: -CAPS. any of the light beneath the logo top right for caps,number lock etc, cannot be seen without leaning over the keyboard because they’re positioned behind the base of the high switches. pretty irritating as you can imagine. -MEDIA BUTTON. they media button below the wheel doesnt feel great (very hard press and not great quality. not that big of a deal worth mentioning. -WRIST REST. although, a nice addition, nice metallic attachment, and nice heavily rubberized coating making it as comfortable as a hard slab of plastic can be, matte rubber coating picks up marks like crazy. i dont get particularly sweaty hands but after using it for like 5 mins marks a visible and after a long night-time gaming session, i have to wipe it down and all. if you want to use a wrist rest though, its worth getting a nice one aswell. Conclusion: amazing all round keyboard, would spend twice as much for it. if it wasnt for the cons.

Köpte detta för att jag behöver upplysta tangenter då jag ofta sitter vid datorn i mörker (och jag älskar de växlande färgerna). Dessutom har den ytterligare två perfekta funktioner för mig: en steglös rulltangent som man snabbt och exakt reglerar ljudet med, samt att tangenterna är tystare än normalt! Dessutom är den spillsäker, så om olyckan är framme och kaffekoppen välter så blir inte tangentbordet förstört! Skyddar dessutom mot damm och skräp. Det enda jag INTE gillar är att det är svårt att komma åt instruktioner och inställningar. Mycket krångligt - via webben, på engelska! - för någon som är okunnig i datorteknik! Vissa bokstäver finns heller inte markerade på svenska, men de finns i alla fall där fast med andra tecken på....

Einfach eine geile Gaming Tastatur! Für den günstigen Preis, bekommt man eine Tastatur die sich super bedienen lässt. Keine zusätzliche Software, um Beleuchtung etc. einzustellen. Diese Tastatur kann das über eine eigene Taste in Verbindung mit F9-F12. Die Haptik ist klebend. Die Finger fühlen sich festgeklebt mit der Taste die man bedient an. Ein tolles Gaming Erlebnis meiner Meinung nach. Für mich persönlich angenehm ist die milchige Beleuchtung. Geile Sache ist auch die Magnet Handballen Auflage! Welcher Hersteller hat das sonst?! So Robust!

Bra, knapparna låter lite mycket när de trycks in. Köpte tangentbordet då jag ville ha ett 'tyst' tangentbord, men inte.

I always bought cheap keyboards and decided to go for a reliable brand this time. I love the feedback of the keys, i finally feel in control while gaming. It is quiet and also super comfortable and got a nice design too. So far nothing to complain about. I like that you can dim or remove the lights.

Cela fait maintenant 6 ans que j'ai ma souris steelseries et 9 ans pour le casque et ils fonctionnent encore à merveille. Mon clavier corsaire sans fil batterie avec pavé numérique a tenu 4 ans car la méthode de fabrication des touches n'était pas durable et je pense que c'est la même chose pour ce clavier steelseries malheureusement.. de même l'aspect électronique du corsaire cad batterie commence à faiblir non pas sur la durée mais a des cours instants de déconnexions.. donc je mise à nouveau sur environ 5 ans d'utilisation sans dégradation des lettres imprimées sur steelseries. Ce clavier était en promotion à moitier prix à 39€ et le rapport qualité prix est imbattable. Ça pèse lourd malgré une absence de batterie, le repose main a une texture très agréable et les touches ont également ce touché que l'on retrouve sur certaines souris steelseries. La roulette du son est bien plus agreable que des touches. Au final la question restante est celle de la salissure, à savoir si à moyen et long terme le repose main ne va pas se salire de manière irrémédiable du fait de son materiau premium ? Les touches seront elles lavables ou trop sensible à un quelconque produit ? Les touches également seront elles résistante à la transpiration et à l'usure #ZSQD etc. Petit détail en lien avec l'intelligence du design : le repose main est associé au clavier par un aimant et a une taille en longueur moyenne. Cela rend le démontage ultra pratique pour le supprimer un instant pour par exemple mettre un micro entre soi et le clavier et ce tout petit détail est très appréciable. Côté bruit, je pense qu'il est au moins aussi silencieux que le corsaire si ce n'est pas plus silencieux.
