The Pinnacle of Keyboard Excellence

I've waited many, many years for a keyboard like this one. Up till this Christmas I've used a Saitek Eclipse for the past few years, and thought it was good. I received a Razor Lycos keyboard for Christmas, and was terribly dissapointed (still want to thank my best friend who tried his best to make me happy). Then I decided to quit fiddling around and got the Saitek Cyborg. In a nutshell, this keyboard does virtually everything right. I don't like keyboards with wimpy keys, since I'm a big guy with fairly large hands I don't like accidental key hits. The Lycos has laptop type keys that slight accidental pressure can activate. Both Saiteks in my experience used solid keys made for men. Most of all, being a gamer I like the adjustable lighting on the Cyborg. The old Eclipse was barely visible in front of my 28" monitor, but the Cyborg stands out. In both style and function I give it a 9.5. Add blue lighting, and a dial for volume and it would be a perfect 10. Those who want a ladylike typing keyboard should look elsewhere.

If you're going to be bias on a review, try not to stick a horrible review with a great keyboard. I just bought a new gaming pc and got this keyboard with it, and it works excellent. The chromed keys while, not major, are a big plus. I don't care so much for the back lighting (as in it doesn't affect my review)but it's a nice touch. The functionality of the keyboard is excellent, the keys are precise and capable, do not break, and the response time is very accurate. I don't know what keyboard you reviewed, or if you're just a whiny little priss who cares more about self-image than an actual, honest review, and I don't care. Your review is totally off the mark and should be erased entirely, seeing as how nothing you mentioned in your review is either helpful or accurate.
OMG want an office keyboard?....BUY an office keyboard!

I replaced my razor tarantula keyboard with this keyboard and have absolutely no regrets at all. This keyboards keys are softer to the feel but also a heck of alot more precise than the razor. And cheap? It feels solid as a rock as far as the typing goes. Many times on the razor I would see spelling errors because the keys would not depress all the way when typing fast. No such issues with this keyboard. Also if you have a problem with the way this keyboard looks at work.. maybe you should A: stop playing games at work and do what you are getting payed for and use a non-gaming keyboard at work or B: stop being so insecure and worrying about what kind of self image your darn computer keyboard represents lol. Also you completely forgot to mention the fact that the keyboard has 12 macro keys instead of ten like with the razor tarantula. And one more point.. obviously you dont game too much because you dont actually realize the tactile value the chrome wasd keys have for a real gamer. Let me explain, you can FEEL wethor or not your fingers are actually on the wasd keys by their smoothness compared to the other keys without even looking at them and taking your eyes off the monitor.... duh. Maybe next time you review a gaming keyboard you should use a reviewer that a: is actually a gamer and b: dosent let his reviews of a gaming keyboard get tainted by his own insecurities about being an adult and a gamer at the same time....
Excellent keyboard

First of all I'm an italian guy, so sorry for my bad english.
I own this keyboard, and I LOVE IT.
Keys are quite silence, and they don't seem gummy. In my opinion, it's an excellent keyboard both for gaming AND everyday use.
Why don't you like "chromed-look" keys?
Their're a good addition for daily gaming sessions, as customizable keys illumination in cyborg-mode for nightly gaming sessions.
Software (SST) is a bit tricky, but very powerful. I never had problems with it.

Replaced my G-15

The way the typing was described in this review reminded me of the G-15 to be honest.
