Thermaltake Poseidon Z Plus Mechanical Gaming Keyboard with Blue Switches & Blue Backlight - Performance Monitoring App & Software - Ideal for PC Gaming, Typing & Office Work (Model: KB-PZP-KLBLUS-01)

I can't say enough positive things about this keyboard! I absolutely love it! The feel of the switches was exactly what I had been hoping to find in a nice keyboard. This is my first mechanical keyboard (with the exception of the old school IBM keyboards, back in the day) and I couldn't be happier with it. I did a considerable amount of research before making this purchase. I didn't have much of a chance to try out the feel of the different style switches unfortunately, so had to rely on the descriptions from other more knowledgable folk.It is a nice heavy keyboard that remains in place with its nicely gribbing feet. The button presses are smooth and responsive. If you are playing games requiring quick repetative key presses, this keyboard will deliver with the proper settings. The way I have it set can sometimes cause multiple unintentional key presses while I'm just typing, but it's not a huge deal as the in-game benefits is the reason I have it set as such. I also like the function key features such as the quick volume adjust, it's a very nice feature. The key illumination is quite decent as well. It's a nifty shade of blue that looks great in the rather dark basement where my PC is kept. Others have made comments about how not all the keys are lit evenly due to the location of the LEDs under the keyboard, which is true. But I find that this isn't too significant and find all the keys to be sufficiently illuminated, as I said my basement can be rather dark and it does sufficiently light each key.All-in-all this was exactly what I had been looking for, mainly for playing blizzard games like Starcraft and Diablo which it fully delivers. The straight typing on it I find to be a joy and gives that old school clunk that I've missed for so long. That is something to note that this bad boy is pretty dang loud. I don't mind it, but if that's a concern I'd probably not recommend it based on the noise it can produce with normal typing.
