Powercool RG100 Gaming Keyboard with Macro Programmable Keys

I have now convinced 3 of my friends that this is a mechanical keyboard. That was fun, watching them say "yeah it's a high quality one, you can tell by the height and depth of the keys" and " I can tell it's using a cherry MX set up" lol. dont worry, I came clean to them, but it goes to show, if it feels good, works good, then it should be good enough. you don't need to spend a small fortune on gaming equipment just because it's branded by a certain manufacturer. This keyboard feels and looks great, it's functional and has some great features, the the 5 keys at the top that you can set to anything you like. the wheel to change volume during games and films is great because it doesn't show a volume bar on screen. the windows lock button is also a great feature because i was always pressing it and exiting by mistake. Thats a thing of the past now. the colours are flat or pulsing on a cycle but very bright. I would have loved to see more than one colour moving across the keypad or have the ability to choose what keys are what colour but for the price I am more than satisfied.

Ive just gone back playing PC games, and these keyboard ticks all the right boxes. It's got a very good back lite that shows the keys but the lettering aswell. It's sturdy with a nice braided USB lead. You can macro the keys, don't know much about that but my son said its was pretty cool. And it's got anti ghosting meaning you can press more keys and they will relate to actions on screen. The USB lead is pretty long aswell. Didn't take long to be delivered, 2 days and it was packed so it wouldn't get any damage. There's 3 settings per every LED light, and you can turn them off completely . It's just nice keyboard and comfortable to use. Mind you I'm still all fingers and thumbs. But now I do it in style.

HOW TO FIX BUGGY KEYS PROBLEM: I spent about a month wondering if it was a fixed problem, or if there's a solution, and it turns out there is :) On the keyboard, focus on the top right. It's the furthest key to the right, the key is a man running. This toggles through how the keys react when pressed, I just had to press it twice and now the keys don't do the stop-start motion that I thought was a problem, you can hold them down as you would with any other keyboard. Overall a good keyboard, even though for a start I thought it wasn't very good because I thought it would be a problem, it's fine after pressing the key with the running man symbol :)

Great keyboard, easy to change the colour and brightness of the LEDs, the keys are easy to press but not so light that it is easy to misclick. The programmable keys only work as a string of buttons already on the keyboard, for example 'hey', you cant set them to do any other function as there is no software for this, however they are still useful and what more can you expect for the price? Overall i would thoroughly recommend

On paper it looks great. Back-lit keys, media wheel, (limited) programmable... In reality it's very flimsy and cheap feeling. I've used it over the past year and the space key has broken, it works sometimes but tends to get stuck down repeating the keystroke. The media wheel has come off and wobbles around, though I seemed to have jury-rigged that back in place for the moment. In short, I'd steer clear of this one. My old MS keyboard that I picked up >5 years ago is back in action!

As others have said, this is a good functional keyboard with sturdy and tactile keys that provide good feedback. The windows key lock and volume dial are great features and the lights look great. I am using this for gaming also, but have not had any use of the macro keys yet, although I am sure I will try them out at some point. Longevity of it can't be commented on as yet, but I do ware out the keys quite well usually, so may not notice. I noticed that this keyboard has been criticized for being 'buggy' when gaming and I can confirm that this isn't the case. There is a button on the keyboard to fix this (like a DPI button on a mouse). When used, makes this keyboard as smooth as would be expected for a gaming addition. Did I mention the lights are cool?

A well presented keyboard with some nice features and settings, but does not qualify as a gaming keyboard by a long shot. You have only two simultaneous key presses and if you hold a key down, to walk forwards for example, it will glitch as if you're tapping the key. Not what I needed unfortunately.

Would have to say this keyboard is probably the best one I have bought so far. The color's are nice and bright just how i like them, they can be easily dimmed if you prefer them that way, the multimedia keys are nice not in a annoying place where you end up hitting them by accident. Overall I am very pleased with this buy and would recommend this keyboard to any who are considering buying this keyboard!!
