Light Strike LK Optical Gaming Keyboard – Orange LED Backlit – LK Blue Tactile Switch - Black (B840)

I bought the B830 and have had it for about a month. The keyboard pretty good. I have a variety of mechanical keyboards and this one works as well as the best of them. However the aesthetics leave a lot to be desired.They keyboard is well made, it's sturdy. However, the top shows the screws that hold the face plate in place...it's a bit distracting. Also, they keycap font, are...well...too gamerish. I know it's made for gamers, and I don't mind, but I wanted to point that out. They also come with a set of gamer keycaps for gaming, but mine didn't come with a "W" key. I don't really use them anyways, but it's kinda a bummer when you pay this amount of money and don't get the correct items.The "manual" is a folded page. It does more than just Fn _ F8 (for disabling windows.) One can Fn F1 to mute, F2 or F3 to turn the volume up or down. Fn F12 turns off the backlighting.I know I'm sounding negative but the keyboard is good. It seemed quick to respond, I play a lot of games and type a lot. It didn't miss a keystroke, unless it was human error. I use a G710+ (Cherry Blue switch) at work and it has a distinctive...clack. It's not like Cherry Blues or Outemu switches. It has a unique sound, it's not bad. It sounds...deeper.The lighting is controlled by FN and up or down. The lights are not RGB in the sense you cannot have "Row" or "area" lighting.The cord is braided, is a nice touch. Non detachable though. Comes with a keycap puller.As for typing, my normal speed is about 83 wpm. I got anywhere from 82 to 87 on a few different tests. Gaming, well, it's got n-key rollerver.Overall, it's a nice keyboard, for someone that doesn't want a standard mechanical switch. It performs well, and has a nice tactile feedback as well as click sound, although I know some will not like the fact that it makes a click sound. If that's the case I believe some o-rings will dampen the sound. It's a sturdy but not overly heavy keyboard. Aside the fact that I (personally) dislike the font and the FN keys do more than just what is stated in the manual, It's a great keyboard. I give it a 4.5/5 for the reasons I listed, but in no way detract from the functionality of this product.

Aesthetically not the most pleasing to me and I don't enjoy the forced "neon" rainbow like option give me one solid color and i'd be more happy. Also I don't have a better idea for bloody and their marketing but I will say I don't think its the best, it's not the worst either. The website interface and the software interface is pretty terrible too. The braided cable with red spots on it I don't like either it reminds me of some cheap knock off sort of equipment black looks much cleaner. Cable is not detachable. No USB passthrough. The feet on it aren't the best and the grips on them aren't either I don't like the fact that they angle out to the side too much either.That being said I really love this keyboard the cable is braided, comes with a few extra keycaps and keycap puller.But really the thing that sells me on this is the fact that it's got optical switches at a great price, best way I can describe optical switches is being very accurate feeling compared to regular mechanical switches if you're a competitive gamer and you want to save every millisecond you can to have even the slightest edge I highly recommend them.Having also tried corsair speed switches, if you have to double tap a button in a game to activate something for me, I hated it because the games I play require much double tapping to activate, and this caused me to have a lot of oopsies using that keyboard that being said, if you feel highly in control of your keyboard and you also prefer red or linear switches you may enjoy it but for me I feel like anytime you increase speed, you lose control, so it is definitely fast and a solid beautiful keyboard but for me this feels like I have much more accurate control.I haven't tried the LK Libra switches or Razer's purple optical switch which both feature stabilizers I really want to try them but I'd say if you want something faster closer to cherry mx speed switches with the optical switches go for the LK Libra B930 compact or the K945 which features a really cool left num pad design as well as 3mm total travel compared to razer's 3.5mm total travel, I gotta say the lower travel distance feels great they're also 60 and 50 bucks cheaper for full RGB
