it's a razer. feels pretty good to type on. but there are several things I hate about it, which seem to be designed deliberately to do something sinister.

The lettering on the keys is impossible to see without the backlight.

The default backlight pattern is horrible and distracting.

You need to log into spyware to change the lighting pattern to something sensible. (like static white)

So I need to send my keystrokes to razer in order to see the lettering on my keyboard.

well, I can't return it. so I will have to live with it. meaning disable the software on startup and learn to type blind.

lessons learned:
- keyboards are too personal to gift.
- never buy Razer ever, under any circumstances, no matter what. lol

On my keyboard(coolermaster masterkeys pro M white LED) you can change all of that stuff with key combinations on the board.

Thats like how some mp3 players are drag and drop(the only way the should be) and some, like the old ipods, required a program such as itunes to transfer songs.

sounds awful.

You touch type and you're worried about razer tracking your key presses?

Are you in your 50s?

Looks like just a regular keyboard, what makes it a "gaming keyboard"?

I haven't bought anything that requires Synapse 2, but their older stuff that uses actual standalone drivers is fantastic.

Top row numbers and the function keys id need to see too. Numerical keypad works for me. Or whatever that cluster of number keys on the right is called.Though its been awhile as I only use a lap top (which doesnt have that cluster n the right) on the off chance im using something besides my phone. I used to have a keyboard with most the letters worn off though.
