CyberpowerPC Skorpion K2 CPSK303 RGB Mechanical Gaming Keyboard with Kontact ™ Red (Linear) Mechanical Switches,Black

This purchase was a replacement of the exact same keyboard I had for over 5 years when I initially built my PC through Cyberpower's website. I only replaced it because the poor original one had been abused.. Let's just say I had spilled water on it at least 5 times, ONLY the very last time did this beast of a keyboard stop working. I have had many keyboards over the years, NOT ONE has survived a single spill (I have no depth perception and am a gamer so I knock things over a lot) If this keyboard is always produced I will ONLY ever buy this one again. The RGB features are awesome, the blue clicky keys are fabulous, and other than my spills on the last guy, it worked for me flawlessly for as I said over 5 years. I hope they make this beast forever because it is the only one I want to own ever again. As a side note, my PC built through their website is also still running strong and kicking ass, Also the very best computer I've ever owned in 30 years of buying PC's. Amazing company!

The media could not be loaded. I purchased this keyboard to replace my older CyberPower PC keyboard which came as original with the CyberPower PC. Eventually all keyboards wear-out, so it was time. CP no longer manufactures that model, but as a replacement this keyboard is a great pleasure to use. I purchased the Red Linear Mech Switches, and although I can hear clicking to some degree, it is very minimal and no doubt will be easy to get accustomed to. The return key and space bar are virtually quiet; if not silent. The overall feel of the keys (switches) is sensitive and wonderfully fluid. It's taken no time to adjust to this keyboard.The lights are fun, and as much as I didn't think I would need them, their illumination is extremely helpful in low light conditions; so actually... pretty cool. The wrist pad is just right; quite comfortable.I can't speak to gamers in my review, because I use this computer for CAD work.I believe it's worth the money, and overall... I'm extremely happy with this keyboard; I definitely recommend it.Lastly, it's sleek and serious looking.****************************************My only concern, which has nothing to do with the keyboard itself (yet...) was the packaging/delivery. Whoever did the shipping/handling used a worn out box, old Styrofoam peanuts and did a really poor job taping it up. I feel fortunate enough that the keyboard works considering how beat-up the box was. Even the product box was bent inside as well. Who uses Styrofoam peanuts anymore??!!

This keyboard just simply performs. This keyboard I bought with the expectation of it being able to be used for work and did not expect much out of it. I was pleasantly surprised when I received the keyboard and found that it had a sturdy build to it and was made out of aluminum. The key switches that are on it perform excellently and have a nice click to them, that I personally love. The LEDs on the keyboard are amazing, although I do wish they where a tad bit brighter. With that said, the effects that are in the hardware for the keyboard are phenomenal and in my case, were exactly what I was looking for. The side lighting is also not over baring and provides a cool extra touch that I personally think is pretty cool.The keycaps have a good feel to them as well, while not texturized, you still don't get a cheap-feeling or a feeling that your fingers are going to slip off of the keys. The LED backlighting also shines through extremely well, especially considering the brightness level of the LEDs.The wrist rest is adequate as well, I do wish it was a little more soft and plush like my K95 Platinum XT keyboard but I cannot expect more than what this keyboard can offer at this price range and am thankful that it came with one at all in this price range.Overall, this keyboard is excellent and will provide satisfying clicky feedback and pushback that I love. It also has plenty of lighting effects to keep you from getting bored with them and allows some customization to be thrown in as well!

I’m happy to type every click

If you're looking for a solid gaming keyboard, at the less outrageously expensive end of the price spectrum, the CyberpowerPC Skorpion K2 is a great choice. The key switches are Cyberpower's own proprietary design, as opposed to Cherry switches, but this likely contributes to the lower cost. The red switches in the unit we bought are comparable to those in keyboards with red Cherry switches. It's setup on my wife's gaming PC, which she uses for WoW raiding, and she insists it has helped her healing, compared to the generic membrane keyboard she was using previously.The RGB covers the full keyboard, and is individual to each key. Cyberpower includes software on CD (also downloadable from their site) to customize the RGB settings. They can also be changed via hot-key settings on the keyboard itself. The keyboard deck is an attractive black anodized aluminum, with a ABS plastic base. A key-cap puller is included, and stores under the keyboard, which makes cleaning the keyboard nice and easy. The switches themselves are not "hot-swappable" and are soldered to the main circuit board in the keyboard.A notable weakness of this keyboard is an almost complete lack of resilience against liquid damage. The design of the keyboard deck and switches are such that any liquid spilled on the keyboard has an immediate path into the interior of the keyboard and the circuit board within. Since it is nearly impossible to non-destructively separate the switches from the deck, or the circuit board, making it nearly impossible to effectively clean food or drink spills. Any spill onto the keyboard is likely to be immediately fatal. This is notably in contrast to cheap membrane keyboards. They are, by comparison, terrible to type and game on, but their design channels liquids into a nether-region under the key-caps, but effectively isolated from the electronics within. If your kids, or anyone clumsy, are going to use it, consider yourself warned.
