EG Element Gaming Element Gaming Palladium Keyboard, For £20, its a no brainer!

Excellent stuff and super-fast delivery. This keyboard is great with the exception of the american style symbols,but not a deal breaker.

“…a solid solution for the gamer on a budget…”i love getting items to review from the element gaming range. They always have a great air of quality about them alongside a very reasonable price tag. For your average gamer who wants great gear without spending huge wads of pocket money on it, they should certainly be a go-to brand. When they sent me over one of their paladium gaming keyboards then i was keen to get hands-on and see if this product was up to the same standards. As soon as i opened my parcel’s outer packaging and removed the box for the keyboard itself i was impressed. The weight of the box and the design spread across it gave a sense of both quality and professionalism, both of which make it an attractive choice before you even reach the product itself. Upon opening the box, i found that the contents inside were somewhat more conservative, but it was the keyboard itself that i was really interested in. As a plug and play peripheral i had the keyboard up and running in minutes, with no real need to even review the included instructions. These were useful however when it came to finding out how to cycle the keyboard’s seven colour options and finding out what functions had already been pre-set. In any case, once i had it plugged in and the individually backlit keys lit up, it was easy to appreciate the aesthetic details on offer.

One of the best keyboards i’ve ever had. The ‘enter’ button was annoying for the first 2 weeks, now i’m used to it and if this keyboard ever ‘dies’ i’ll get the same one.

I bought this when it was on sale for £19. I wasn’t going to be impressed with it, that’s for sure but i amhere are the bad points:- return/enter key is of equal height to all the other keys so it takes getting used to when hitting the button without looking. If the key was larger it would be easier to find. – led’s are coloured but you cannot change them individually or in a group, you can only change the whole keyboard. – the yellow colour layout looks bad, it’s not a proper yellow and the space bar led when yellow actually looks light green- the 3 indicators on the right on top the numerical keypad are to show if your lock keys are on, but again, because the led’s all light the same colour, it looks tacky and a waste of space, they could have easily made them smaller and perhaps give more space to important keys- because it’s frame is metal, it could interfere with other peripherals/devices such as a wireless mouse, wifi, etc. But this is not for certain, but has happened in the past with metal objects interfering with my wifi router. Overall, 7/10 but if you get in cheap like i did for £19. 99, then i would give it an 8/10.

Arrived on timeworking as expectedsome of the keys configured differently for normal typing use but once you master the shortcut’s the keyboard works well. I like the different light options especially useful in the evening with low light.

For £20 this keyboard is excellent value. They keys are membrane, but feel very nice to use. Very low noise and good travel. The backlight feature is nice, and can be turned off or pulse through the colours is you wish. The keyboard is very sturdy and feels like its built very well, the brushed aluminium is a nice touch. The included fn key means you get volume controls tooa few keys are a bit odd, the enter is american style (not full height), the pipe | can be accessed via various keyboard commands depending on os and keyboard layout setup on your computer. For £20, you’d be hard pushed to find another keyboard of this quality.

I’ve owned this keyboard for almost a year now and it’s good for the price. The keyboard looks good and the elevated key caps make it very easy to clean. One thing you notice if you pick the keyboard up is how heavy the item is which seems to help keep the noise down when typing. The keys are double shot and the led light feeds through them quite nicely. The durability of the keys themselves seem fine. The led lighting can be set to different colours and different brightness levels. You can also switch off the lighting if you don’t like it or you are using it in an office environment. So why only have i only given three stars?. The blue number capslock, numlock and scrolllock indicators don’t match the keyboard well and look out of place. Additionally, i keep the numlock on all the time and the brightness of the led has faded in comparison to the other two when you turn them on.

Comments from buyers

“A good looking gaming keyboard that does the job
, No major cons, fantastic if you get it on sale, £19.99.
, For £20, its a no brainer!

Great value keyboard, feels great to type on, lights look incredible. A bigger ‘return’ key would be preferable if i was being picky, but that’s not for everyone.

Very nice design and holds up well against aggressive gaming styles 🙂 feels solid.
