"Feels Solid"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

The keys feel solid and require just the right amount of pressure to activate. Looks nice and is easy to use.

"High Quality As Expected"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

If you don't want the Christmas tree version, this keyboard is an excellent substitution.The shape of the keys makes it an ideal keyboard for someone who gamed on a laptop and is moving to a desktop.

"Great Keyboard"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

The DeathStalker Essential Gaming Keyboard is a great, non-mechanical keyboard to have. The keys feel a lot like what you would have on laptop. It comes with a pretty decent wrist rest.

The only parts that I dislike about this keyboard is the keys are dark-grayed coloured, so it's hard to see, especially in the dark, as well as having no backlighting.

"Awesome addition"
4 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

I got this keyboard for the low profile keys, Similar to a laptop keyboard without the flimsiness.

Also the keyboards re-designed matrix/layout which provides Anti-ghosting works allowing me to have more keys pressed at the same time. Which has saved my bacon in war thunder multiple times.

Only negative is that I had to spend some time messing with the BIOS for a while as the keyboard was increasing the boot time. I think this is due to the Keyboard having the drivers on-board like some small mass storage.

"No backlight with darkgrey keys, had to see"
3 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

As far as keyboards go, its great, as far as using it at night without a light directly on it to see the black keys with darkgrey writting… Utter crap

"Cheap plastic, hard to see keys."
2 stars"

The whole keyboard has a cheap feel to it as its all just plastic. The writing on the keys is impossible to see in a dark room as the letters are dark grey. Pushing down each key also does not have a nice feel to it as some keyboards do. I switched back to my apple chiclet keyboard.

"It's something to start out with if you like chiclet style keys"
4 stars"

The keyboard is good if you can remember where most keys are and if you like the chiclet style keys. It's good to start out with but if you like membrane or mechanical just use that instead

"Nice and slick but hard to see and keys dont respond properly"
3 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

good keyboard but if i press lightly down on the key/keys the keyboard doesnt respond to the key press. Im not sure if this happens to all of these keyboards but it happens to me, when i play a game and kind of rest my finger on a key to relax, the keyboard wont recognise it and my character just stops instead of going forward.
