Alienware Low-Profile RGB Gaming Keyboard AW510K: Alienfx Per Key RGB LED - Media CONTROLS & USB Passthrough - Cherry MX Low Profile Red Switches

This keyboard was exactly what I was looking for. Great for typing and also for gaming, I was searching for a low profile keyboard with RGB lighting, solid build quality and mechanical but I did not want loud and clicky. This keyboard checks the box in all of those areas.

I 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.

I love this keyboard. I love the low profile keys. I love how the keyboard performs. The Alienware software is another story though. If you want to be able to use all the customization options they claim to have through their software, look elsewhere. The software just doesnt work. I have installed and reinstalled the software and the customization part simply doesnt do anything. I can see al l the options to change color, etc, but nothing works. In todays world, a program like this isnt all that advanced and youd think they could develop one that works properly. I guess Alienware just doesnt care enough to invest in their own product, which is unfortunate because the keyboard hardware is great.

I use this keyboard for work as an alternative to using my laptop keyboard and the quality is excellent. It’s very easy to type on and the software allows you to customize key colors, macros, and game settings. On my laptop it detected 55 games that I have and allowed me to launch those games from the Alienware interface. On thing I don’t understand yet is that the “FN” key on my laptop keyboard doesn’t behave the same way on this keyboard, so I’ll have to figure that out.

Get the mouse too !!

Great 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.

rico, silencioso, delicado, sensible y con una respuesta extremadamente rápida

I’ve always gamed on my Alienware laptop using its built-in keyboard and a wired mouse, so I’m used to membrane keys. I bought a regular gaming mechanical keyboard and the throw of the keys felt waaaaaaayyy too long. I couldn’t type on it either, I kept fumbling around the keys. I replaced that keyboard with this one, because of the short throw keys (and it looks cool and matches my laptop) and I love it!!! The volume scroll is a must in my opinion, and the lights are really fun. My only gripe is that I wish it had those programmable keys on the left side of the keyboard that my laptop keyboard has. Feels super sturdy and it looks like you could jump start a car with the wire (it’s thick). I would recommend this to someone that’s used to gaming/typing on laptop keys or similar and is wanting to get into mechanical keyboards.

I had only used normal keyboards and my brothers Steelseries Cherry Red switch keyboard before this. It is very quiet when compared to the Steelseries, which I absolutely love, and it is thinner in person. The pictures dont really show how thin it is, and it was a concern I had before I got it in hand. I used it for some CS:GO to test it out and 2 things were very clear: 1. These switch get triggered Very easily, even a little tap gets recognized 2. It is so comfortable to use. The switches are jarring at first but I adjusted quickly, and please dont use the feet because it is perfect laying flat. If you want a low profile keyboard but dont want to spend 210+ on the Logictech offerings go with this. Its still more than most should be willing to spend on a keyboard but for what I wanted it is perfect

Nice 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.
