I got this for my son who plays a couple of serious games on his computer. pros - keys light up fully, no darkness - many customizable options - easy to use media keys that are separate from function keys - quiet keys - haven't noticed any ghosting - easy to remove wrist rest cons - some keys wiggle and not quiet (typical for larger keys) - wrist rest is uncomfortable - just plastic, no cushioning, so longer periods of game play are uncomfortable. This is magnetic and can be removed and replaced with something else. - when keyboard is using tilt mount, there isn't any grippers on the tilting legs, causing the keyboard to slide easily on hard surfaces. you'll need a keyboard mat if you want tilted keyboard Overall, there are better keyboards out there. I also think this one is a little pricey considering the quality of it.
This keyboard is so cool! And fun to use! It has so many different changing light designs, easy to use. The keys are Nicky made and just perfect for gaming, or everyday use.
Besides the amazing lights, this gaming keyboard is so functional, it's amazing. I love the anti-ghosting technology, since The wrist rest is magnetic, so is easily detachable, but it's super comfortable in place! The control knob is in a great location and easy to use. The mechanical keys have a nice feel and sound so you know you're hitting the keys, Excellent quality!
Linear keys are very smooth but also a bit scratchy if that matters to you. The switching between RGB modes is very simple and easy to get to, I didn't use their special software as I've only ever needed to simply see the keys in the dark. The magnetic palm rest was a welcome surprise to see but I like that the magnets are just enough to keep it there if you want it and not ruthlessly enforce precisely where the palm rest goes.
I ordered the Monster Alpha 5.0 LED Mechanical Gaming Keyboard for a new gaming rig I built. The keyboard is designed nicely and comes with a magnetic palm rest. The keyboard also has some weight to it making it feel solid and durable. You have to download the software from their website which allows you three custom profiles. The instructions for changing the colors are pretty easy but trying to figure out how to have solid colors took a little time to figure out. The five gaming LED modes are a nice feature as well... just the set of keys you use light up. The software is pretty easy to use setting up keys. I'm a big fan for mechanical keyboards and the Monster Alpha 5.0 is very responsive and works well with my games. One thing that this keyboard is lacking though would be there are no built in USB ports. My gaming tower is in a cabinet and I use a wireless mouse. On my older keyboards, I used the built in USB ports for my mouse receiver. Its not a deal breaker but every gaming keyboard I've owned had USB ports... guess I could get a new wired Monster gaming mouse. This may be a software issue but the multimedia keys do not work on the keyboard. Overall, nice keyboard for gaming. Hope there is an update soon to fix the multimedia keys.
