Such a fantastic video guys, I really like Roccat as their products really are something special. I'll look into the keyboard. Thanks for the review!

Using a wireless Logitech keyboard from a bundle. Definitely considering this.

I have the Ryos MK Pro and i freaking love it! Went from a G710+ browns to MK Pro browns and i'v always loved Roccat products. It even forced myself to go buy a Roccat Kone XTD mouse which is also fantastic. They are seriously a company to keep an eye on.

I'm still using it today and it works better than any other boards I have

I love your channel, I don't know if it's the setting or what but it makes everything look so high-end and it makes me want it. lol.

I am currently using a Mionix Zibal 60 right now. It has black switches and they did take getting used to but this is the most sturdy keyboard I have ever seen in my life. Really leaves up to its rageproof advertising.

Have a K70 otw, trying out the red switches. Can't wait :D

I'm using a Ryos MK Pro with broun sw, very good and I do not regret a penny

Another outstanding review ! I do like what this KB has to offer, though I'm not sure if I would spend this much. 
I was previously using a Corsair K90 with the red switches which I didn't like at all. Plus in addition to issues with the keys malfunctioning at times not all the keys were mechanical and backlit, so I gave it to my wife who types a lot and she wasn't thrilled with it either.
I replaced the K90 with a MS Sidewinder  and even though I paid well below the full retail price for the Corsair, I bought the Sidewinder for $39 and for a budget gaming KB (though not mechanical)  it's great and I like it much better than the expensive failure from Corsair. Thought to be fair the K90 did have some features I liked such as the brushed aluminum and solid construction. It had what I felt was one of the best wrist rests I ever used, but the drawbacks I mentioned earlier really out weighed any of the positives.
The Sidewinder on the other hand types great, has a decent construction, quiet, well laid out, not a lot of useless function key overkill and really nice (all) red backlit keys plus a not overly large footprint.
If there were any negatives I would say the keys are placed a bit closer together but was easy to adjust to after a short time using it and the wrist rest wasn't anything special and not even close to the K90, but I don't think any other KB is either.
All in all a great KB for daily typing and gaming...great price/performance for a price of $39 usd.
I give it the Reader's Comments Damm Good Value Award...lol

Usin  a logitech k800 right now which is definitly not the best for gaming...Great review guys! I really love all the vids you guys put out. Been watchin all your vids for my recent builds :D

[pacificnic]

I have the Vengeance K90 and I am VERY pleased with it

[Usernamerization]

Great video guys; very informative. Right now im using a non mechanical non light up keyboard. I really want a mechanical keyboard though!

[GamerDus]

My Roccat Isku (non-FX) has worked out really well for me for a year now, actually got a roccat kova[+] mouse, and didn't realize that the easy-shift wasnt on the mouse, but i'm still happy with both of them.

[bryantlovan]

man that keyboard looks sweet! im using a stock dell keyboard right now and cant wait to get either that or a corsair k70

[XMrCerealX]

I got the Cooler Master Quickfire Rapid! I love it being as its my first mechanical keyboard and all. I was tight on money at the time when i was getting it and all I knew was that I needed a mechanical keyboard. I could have waited a week and gotten another keyboard but this one is probably the best buy I've had in a while.

love roccat products i own a couple mice and still use my alumic pad, but you guys didn't give this any

[Nine-Signs]

I dropped a litre of coca cola on mine,

Bullet proof.

I have the Microsoft sidewinder x4; it was a budget decision as I didn't want to spend the money on a mechanical one. Boy, do I regret that; mechanical keyboards are most definitely the best around. I am going to try to get one as soon as possible!

[NuubMaster]

Great review guys! Not a product for my tastes, but I agree those extra thumb buttons should be optional on more keyboards

[shaggy]

Good review, I'm currently using the Microsoft Sidewinder gaming keyboard.

[senorstronk]

found this at a thrift for $7. cherry blacks are nice. not bad at all. keys are better than the gateron browns I had been using on a magic force board. solid typer board here m8s
