> 24 hourI got this to use with my new Alienware laptop and have finally figured out that it is preventing my laptop from turning the screen off and going to sleep from inactivity. Super lame. Puts so much more wear and tear on my laptop from not going into power save mode, let alone my electric bill. Makes it so I dont want to use it but it took me too long to figure out what was going on so I dont think I can return it. Watch out. This thing will burn your screens out.

> 24 hourI used to use the Logitech G815 and that was my main keyboard for 2 years. I experimented around with some ducky keyboards but I ended up hating them all. This keyboard however, exceeds my expectations. I was already used to the low profile switches and the super sensitive travel so everything was already easy for me. The thing that sets the AW510k from the Logitech is the switches. Logitech uses their own switches while AW uses Cherry Reds and I think they are superior in terms for feel and sound in my opinion. This keyboard is a lot more compact and also doesnt have any redundant features while still remaining full sized. The build quality is super clean and I wasnt expecting much from the RGB but it blew me away as well. The only thing that I hate on this board is the volume wheel on the top right, when you roll it, it makes this weird clicking sound and has feedback to it while the Logitechs was very smooth but I bet I would just get used to it anyways. Overall this is going to be my go-to keyboard for the next couple of years and if they ever release a new model that has similar features, Id probably upgrade.

> 24 hourPROS: I recently bought an Alienware PC and thought this keyboard would complete the set because it has Alienware on the bottom next to the spacebar and it lights up with RGB. Like, who doesnt like RGB. The sound scroll volume on the side is amazing also, I can watch shows or listen to music and just slide the scroll down to lower the volume. Also the hot keys on the keyboard lets me pause and skip the next song on Spotify. CONS: Let me tell you, if youre gaming, DO NOT get this keyboard, or if you have to type a lot for work or school. The keys are sooooooo sensitive. While playing Call of Duty, my fingers on WASD and the tacticals (grenade/flashbang) are on QE, my finger on W will barely touch it the keys QE and it automatically presses it, causing me to throw my tactical. Also, me just typing this review with this keyboard, my fingers touch the key next to the letter I push down, causing typos, causing sentences to look like this, (This is my regview for this keytboard, thsese are the mistakes it makes withouht deleting the mistakesd.) I went to a gaming event in my city, and the keyboards they had were 100% better than this one, the buttons actually had to be pressed for it to register, not breathed on like this one it feels like. Again, if you want this just for the looks, I recommend it 100%, but if youre gaming or typing a lot for work or for school. Go ahead and get a different keyboard, or else you will be pulling your hair out with all the typos or misplays on games from the sensitive keys.

> 24 hourSo far I’m very happy with this keyboard. I first purchased another, compact rgb keyboard but I didn’t realize how heavily I rely on the number pad. Doh! I’m not a gamer but I bought an Alienware laptop for graphic work. This keyboard integrates seamlessly with the pre-installed command center so that was not an issue for me. The keyboard is SO much quieter than the other mechanical keyboard. It has such a soft, pleasant, tactile stroke, I almost wish for more work. I’m hoping for a type heavy project soon! On my desk, it sits behind my Wacom and the one doesn’t interfere with the other (but then I’ve been doing this for so many years, I may be subconsciously adjusting my hands). My work area is pretty dark so I’m grateful for the rgb lighting. It was easy to program- and I only change the color of the number keys from everything else. BIG CON: it has two (2) usb plugs!! It’s the only reason this is 4 stars instead of 5. Fortunately, I’ve just bought a good dock that supports 3 USB ports. The alienware m15 has 3 USB ports (I think), but I like my station to be portable without too much plugging and unplugging. Since I leave the keyboard (and big Wacom and big external monitor) at home, the docker is a saving grace. EDIT: changing to 5 stars. I didn’t realize there is an additional USB port on the keyboard and that is the reason for the additional plug. Love this! And I like Alienware. I’ve been using dell products for 15 years and I’m happy I discovered this in their lineup.

> 24 hourGreat keyboard. Works very well. I love how fast the actuation and response is. The lighting is spot on. The only issue I have is I have to raise my monitor because the floating key style allows a large amount of light to be emitted from under the key caps and put a glow on my monitor.

> 24 hourNice keyboard but color function dashboard will not show on mac OS. Returned for this reason. It would be nice if this was stated in product description.
