Sorry for leaving out the model number. When I did this review it was the only one on the market. The model is: Y-UY95

Thanks for all the comments guys. I've been slacking on my reviews lately.. I'll try and get some new ones shortly.

Can you turn off the illumination of the keyboard and keep using it? 

[l3it3r]

@Panter4 Absolutely. It's just hard to see ;)

[l3it3r]

This was shot on a Sony HX-1. There's a new version coming out soon that I plan on upgrading to called the HX-100

Ixionic, I didn't say they don't work. I said the f2,f2,f3 etc part of the function keys don't light up

To be fair, you're phones a brick!

i want to buy a kb and im between this and the razer lycosa....i ve heard some complaints about lycosa such as the rubber wears out quickly and some issues with the touch panel (does not always respond). So i want to know an opinion from someone who has it both...ps very nice clear video!thumbs up!

@TheThingsIHave I would have never noticed the F keys don't show up unless he said something. Now I can't unsee it.

I lucked out, Best Buy screwed up stocking this keyboard. It was under the wrong tag! Was under a tag for 49.99, they rang it up at 79.99! They discounted the price since they screwed up. Also got a Logitech G9x for 49.99 at Fry's. They price matched it with Newegg online. So I got my keyboard and mouse for a discount! I went from a $11 Logitech keyboard to this one, I LOVE IT! Under SetPoint you can disable the caps lock key too. Love Logitech hardware!

Nice review, thank you! I appreciate you pointing out the lack of F labels in the dark.

btw, the UK version comes with a standard UK layout. Big enter key, ect...

@feddy900 Depends. Some revisions have problems with some keys ghosting. Mine doesn't and it's pretty good at gaming. Very quiet, good illumination, good typing feel, that doesn't hinder gaming. Needs to be looked after, doesn't like break crumbs and that sort of things. Needs a good shake once in a while if you are messy.

@feddy900 i just bought it and it really sucks i cant hold W, Shift and press space bar at the same time.. so it kinda sucks for gaming.. its really not meant for it

[feddy900]

@14bebop14 so for gaming it rulez?



[14bebop14]

I have one; I've concluded it was pretty shitty for gaming
