Excellent SC II Keyboard
By Ulyaoth
I hesitated before purchasing this keyboard primarily due to the negative reviews associated with it; however, let me be clear that this keyboard delivers a fluid and comfortable gaming experience and delivers on a number of features.Durability - There is not one piece of this keyboard that feels like it is made from cheap materials. The keys have a nice rubber texture that provides comfortable key strokes, and the enlcosure itself feels like a sturdy "Marauder" metal alloy. The key presses are nice and responsive but not overly "springy".Aesthetics - The overall look of the keyboard is un-rivaled. The back-lit keyboard looks great and the key values are easily legible when in a completely dark room. The four additional edge lights add a nice glow effect, and when combined with SC II, the APM lighting is easily the best integrated feature for a game I have ever seen. The keyboard looks like something that could be ripped right out of the Starcraft universe.Functionality - Although it lacks the full size of most standard keyboards as some other reviewers have clearly and sometimes angrily pointed out, the keyboard does not lack any of the functionality that any full sized keyboard provides. The only major difference is that Home, End, Page Up, Page Dn, Ins, Del and the arrow keys have been merged into the right number keypad with the ability to toggle what functionality the keyboard uses either number pad or not.In summary, this keyboard provides an excellent piece of hardware for an already great piece of software. One thing to note, if you are expecting all the bells and whistles of a multimedia keyboard you are looking in the wrong place, but just because a peripheral doesn't offer everything you thought it did (or should), maybe that is an indicator that you (the consumer) should do a little more research before purchasing an item and then giving a poor review.

a solid compact keyboard for a starcraft fan
By P. Leo Kopsombut
i'm very happy with the marauder keyboard. the feel of the keys is solid, they have a very nice and tactile feel, not slick, more of a rubbery coating. the weight of the keyboard allows it to sit very firmly in place. the lighting is a very fun option. the apm stock settings are pretty high, i'd say if you weren't at pro gamer status you would never be hitting the 300 apm color. the user settings allow for the customization of the colors. i was pleasantly surprised with the other features it provided, options such as lighting up when your buildings are under attack, lighting up as buildings complete, overall adding to the enjoyment of the game. the macro programming is pretty simple as well, name the macro, type in the key sequence, and assign it to a key (for example i assigned F1 to "probe production" and made the macro "3, b, e"). i am currently using it with a mac and found the installation very simple.a few things to note, this keyboard has 2 usb connectors, 1 for they keyboard and 1 for the lighting. the lighting is solid with 3 options which satisfied my computer geek LED need. also there is no designated up, left, right, down arrow keyset, its integrated into the number pad. so if you have num lock on you won't be able to navigate with the arrow. also as mentioned in the other review, yes it is always blue if you are not playing sc2. as mentioned i use with with my imac so just a note the software driver installs to the SYSTEM PREFERENCES under OTHER unlike other razer products where it extracts to APPLICATIONS.overall, i think its a great product if you are a starcraft fan, it has definitely added to my enjoyment of the game.

Good RTS Board but very small
By Anton
I find that the left side of the keyboard is great for an RTS gamer, however be very aware that the keyboard as a whole is very small. Like an above review posted alot of your keys are pushed together which is very strange and very uncomftorable. However the half of the board thats good, is the side of the board you actually need use for RTS's so it's not THAT bad. In the end it looks great and its a great RTS board but really thats all it should be used for. If you're not a serious RTS gamer this really isnt worth it.
