“Totally enjoying this keyboard. Weight gives a quality feel. Love north facing RGB and effects. Price is in a sweet spot. Happy that I didn’t allow lack of reviews to affect my decision. Highly recommended.”

“After a disappointing experience with a razer blackwidow keyboard I wasn't sure where to turn. I got this lemokey and love it. I am not a fan of RGB products requiring a program to constantly run in the background. I consolidated all rgb accessories into one…”
“The Numpad enter never worked. The L is really hard to get to register. The base bends like paper and overall its really cheap quality.”
