1.Design And Build Quality-
This Keyboard is sold and marketed toward gamers,so there is no wonder that This keyboard Follows aggressive pattern in its design category.It looks really nice compared to some other Combo’s at same price point in my opinion.That's Why,I don't have any issues with the design,Though, due to the huge wrist rest which comes included with the keyboard,Makes the keyboard look kinda odd,but do keep in mind that adds for a huge bonus in comfort department.
This keyboard is made with Plastic throughout, But its not cheap feeling plastic like we used to see in some of its competitors.The plastic actually feels kinda Nice in the hand due to some kind off rubbery coating used in those key caps.Though,I noticed that,the body of that keyboard kinda bends a bit if you try to do so,but its not to the point like it’ll break off.Its just that the build quality is not extremely sturdy, Which,is to be expected in these budget keyboards.
The thing I didn't like in this department was the 1.5 M long cable which comes pre-attached with the keyboard.It uses normal rubber Sleeves to protect the internal wiring, though that's not good enough,and the cable can get damaged pretty easily. So,handling the cables with a bit of care is a must for this one.And also,due to the plastic that has been used through out,The keyboard is quite a fingerprint magnet!
2.Features-
This keyboard Comes packed with a lot of features.First off all, It offers 7 color lightning effect,But there is some catch in here.its not like you can choose some individual color or the rainbow wave.It has some fixed lightning modes,you can choose only white as an individual color.if you want to check the color modes in this keyboard,you can check out this video-click here
The Led brightness is good enough in my opinion and I’ve seen far worse quality even in much expensive keyboards.so,I have no complains there,too.
Perhaps by looking at its picture/box,The thing that certainly will attract you the most is its huge wristpad which comes included with this keyboard.It is a huge wristpad,which uses Magnetic contact points to attach itself to the keyboard.Though,it adds a nice comfort factor to the user experience, but,Because of it,if you have a small table,chances are,you may have a issue using that in such a small area with the wristpad still attached with the keyboard.Another thing I would like to point out,The wristpad is made out of nothing but a block of plastic,so its not as comfortable in comparison to some other ones which uses better quality materials.Though its just my personal opinion, and the fact is, this keyboard offers a huge wristpad,when its competitors in similar price don't even have such a thing like that!
It offers Cutouts in its bottom to rout the cables easily for good cable management, which is always a big bonus!
It also offers 3 Macro Keys which you guys can use for setting up various type of preset stuffs,which might be a lot helpful for some!

3.User Experience -
Now,lets move on to the most important aspect of this whole review,the user experience.
First of all,The comfort.Due to that huge wristpad,The Keyboard is quite comfortable and I didn't have any issues for using this for long term gaming session whatsoever. I’d Say Using this keyboard has been quite comfortable for me.
Now moving on to the star of the show,they keys themselves.How does those feel?Though they are typical membrane switches as expected,that can be a hit or mess depending on who you are.
They keys doesn't have any sort of tactile feedback and the keys are kinda mushy.That's why if you are the kind of person who uses his keyboard for lots of typing,This keyboard is a no for you.But if you are a Gamer,particularly fps type, or the ones who doesn't need faster actuation, etc…,this keyboard is okay for You.I had played COD 4 MP for quite a long period with this keyboard,without any discomfort or any issue.But for typing,its not that pleasant, but It will get the Job Done for you.
4.Opinions on the keyboard-
This keyboard offers an incredible value,especially when you consider the fact that It costs only 2750BDT MSRP,Also Includes A good Quality Gaming Mice,A huge wristrest,7Color LED Lightning etc.Of course there is some issues associated, but that is to be expected from these budget keyboards.Its not good for long tern typing,but this keyboard is also not made for people like that!They clearly sells this keyboard and mouse combo towards gamers,in which it does a great job!And also,the fact which bothered me,may not be the same case for you!!
Therefor,I will say that,This keyboard is 100% worth for its price.
Verdict on the whole Combo-
So,after reviewing Both the keyboard and the mice, we must have to admit that we are pretty impressed by what it offers,specially in this budget.Of course things could be little better in some areas,but for all the budget combos out there,there is always some issues like that.
We will definitely recommend this combo to you guys,Specially for 2750BDT,We think its actually one of the best combo’s around this BD Market.
