EagleTec KG040 Mechanical Gaming Keyboard Compact 87 Keys with Blue Switches for Home Office PC UK QWERTY (Blue LED Backlit)

Works great, I use it mostly for tipping as I have my Razer Tartarus for gaming, but is nice for gaming too. Also lots of RPG paterns (not external software as long as I know). Colors have a very nice tone, not super flashi, a bit more pale (I actualy like them better). Just keep in mind, blue switches are great but very noisy. Being 60% save space in the desk. Construction is sturdy.

Very nice and responsive keys with not too bright backlights and overall a great mechanical keyboard if on a budget.

I had one of these for about 18 months and it worked well for about 10 of those. Keys started to fail, some key presses would be recognised as up to six (e.g. typing "y" resulted in "yyyyyy"). This was particularly annoying for gaming, where trying to press shift or control would sometimes just not work.However, because it is so cheap and the only keyboard I could find that met all of my criteria - single colour backlight, blue backlight, cherry blue equivalent switches, solid black body, 10 keyless, UK layout, no extra junk buttons, media keys as part of the function keys, AND wired - I bought another one about 3 months ago or so. This new order seems to be holding up a lot better even in those three months. The keys aren't starting to wear nearly as quickly as they did before.Between both orders, however, I am disappointed to say that my second order didn't come with the keycap remover that my first order did. It was a bit unfortunate since I lost the one that came with the first keyboard.But, putting those ill-experiences to the side - This keyboard is fantastic. The keys are clicky and extremely loud, it is a joy to type on, the media keys are exactly where I prefer them, and the board itself is nice and compact.If my previous one didn't die this would've been five stars. But I am cautious that I'll need to replace this one too in the same timeframe.

I purchased this keyboard for work, not gaming. I don't like using laptop keyboard too much so when I'm home working. I use proper keyboard. I have to say, this one is a gem. So satisfying to type on and the buttons are responsive and clicky. Haven't had any keys stick on me. Well worth the money for work. Cannot speak for gaming.

Very nice to use; the switches feel nice. Typing is very loud, so that might be something to consider.I was surprised at how light (weight) the keyboard was, but it has good grip on a desk or a mouse mat so this isn't a problem (it doesn't slide around).I think my only problem with it so far is that the arrow keys have WASD printed on them, as well as the arrows (you can see this in the pictures). I really didn't like this, but I took the key caps from my old keyboard and they fit just fine.9/10Edit:A few months on and the a key no longer works. It was nice while it lasted.

good quality for gaming no issue

Only had this for a few months now. Never paid more than £20 for a keyboard but was basically always making do. Well this time I took a chance on paying a little more, I happy I did. Although a noise level is louder than I'm used to response and feedback is positive. It's solid build and mechanical keys feel great. I love it. At this price it's a winner.

Bought this in December to go with my new computer, now the W and Space keys barely work and I have to press multiple times for them to work. When gaming, while I'm holding the W key it will just cut out causing me to stop running. Up until the issues the Keyboard has worked fine, but better off buying a more expensive one that wont go dodgy.
