Fnatic Rush LED Backlit Mechanical Pro Gaming Keyboard, I like it this way

High quality and aggressively priced.

Great keyboard easy to use fast and simple only one problem i have with it is that the wrist rest is quite cheap and i dont even use it myselfotherwise a great keyboard for gaming.

Super quiet keys for open office environment. Red switches are the best for typing so it’s a perfect keyboard for the office.

Great keyboard no extraneous bits round it so although its is a full size keyboard with number pad ii is actually quite small which is great on a crowded desk.

Almost everything about this mechanical keyboard exudes quality: the weight of its heavy internal frame, the thick fabric-coated cable, the operation of the keys, even the smooth surface coating. The keys are nicely shaped (no sharp edges) and widely-spaced, with the wide spacing favouring game playing rather than touch typing. Indeed, i chose the cherry red switches for gaming – switches that have light activation and no click resistance; yet with the lack of resistance ‘bottom out’ almost instantly – so are not the best for touch-typing (cherry browns may be the best game-typing compromise), although a decent typing speed can still be achieved on the reds. The in-built keyboard features (super/windows key disablement (‘fnatic gear mode’), sound volume, backlight brightness level etc) work perfectly on recent linux distros (the odd keyboard driver issue exists when using with a 14. The downloadable gui keyboard software (key assignment profiles etc) is windows-only. The wrist rest is essential for me – one of the reasons i chose this keyboard, as few others possessed one. The wrist rest is made from strong abs plastic, but the attachment clips are somewhat flimsy, and care is needed when moving the keyboard with the rest attached (rough handling will result in clips popping out from connectors). This is the only weakness i’ve noticed of the keyboard. Compared with two other mechanical keyboards i possess, the fnatic is streets ahead in build and quality.

Best keyboard i’ve ever owned .

For nearly 10 years iv avoided mechanical keyboards as my first experience with one wasn’t good / thje keys were too hard to press, then i did some research and found out cherry mx reds were meant to be diff, tldr they are perfect and thje keyboard is perfect no extra rgb which is fine just a strraight up working cherry mx keyboard that is nice to game and type with. Super responsive keys and can press loads of keys at once so none of the ‘omg keyboard is shitty’ handicap feelingiudhrzgneiuhrnygslwe\sighruyeoloey gulwfab*|oyubglfaebluyifhegebfgil; (thats me pressing as many keys as i can a few times notice its not the same letters over and over).

Fantastic Gaming Keyboard

Great keyboard, wrist rest is sometimes awkward

“

There is only one possible complaint with this: the keys are kinda loud. I like it this way, as it gives further feedback as to if you’ve actually pressed the key or not, which is important in gaming. I saw some people complain about the cheap wrist support, but i prefer having it on, it’s a nice addition. Lights are sexy but only come in one colour. Great gaming keyboard, nice for when i’m typing my college essays too.

Pros:+ good build quality (aside from wrist rest, see below), the soft rubber feels nice+ keys are satisfying to press+ backlighting is good, even though it’s only redcons:- the way you attach the wrist rest to the keyboard is very awkward and bad. You have these 2 plastic thingies that you attach to the keyboard and then you attach the wrist rest to those 2 thingies. Problem is they break super easily (source: youtube and my personal experience) and they don’t hold the wrist rest in place perfectly. Especially noticeable if you lift the keyboard. It’s awkward to lift the keyboard without having the wrist rest come out of place. This is not an issue if you never move your keyboard around. Minor things to note:>the shift options (e. The % next to the 5) is displayed to the right of the normal option. What i mean by that is that, on the key itself, the % is next to the 5 on not on top of it, as it is more common.

The led lights can be dimmed to off and they can be set to a heartbeat pulse. The key switches feel nice and are relatively quiet. The wrist rest helps a lot when typing for long periods of time.

Amazing keyboard nice bright leds in red love the mechanical feature and the cherry mx reds are great for gaming has an amazing minimalistic look and and amazing texture and feel to it 10 out of ten an amazing buy would highly recommend.

When i had this keyboard i loved it as the high quality switches in the w a s d areas and texture of the whole thing was superb.

I’m not a gamer but more a serious business user. This keyboard makes typing so much easier, less mistakes, consistent feel which really helps with touch typing. The chassis is good and heavy, very well made. Very good value for money and vastly superior to my old membrane keyboard. Nothing to say about the software as i didn’t install it, not needed for office work.

Fnatic seem to be a new entrant to the gaming keyboard market, but don’t let that put you off. This keyboard is a great balance between price and functionality. The build quality is solid, and could probably withstand some ‘battle damage’ during intense gaming sessions. The whole keyboard is covered in a soft-touch plastic coating; i don’t normally stroke my peripherals but i made an exception here. If you’re new to mechanical keyboards, cherry mx reds are purely at the ‘gaming’ end of the spectrum. Keypresses are light but not clicky (definitely louder than a standard membrane keyboard, however). This does make extended typing suboptimal but you do get used to being more precise with your fingers. In sum, i’d recommend this keyboard to new and experienced pc gamers.

There were 5 things i wanted in a mechanical keyboard:- authentic cherry mx red switches- backlit- wrist rest- usb ports- cheap (under £80)and this had all of them. Arrived quickly without problems.

Have to say that i was nervous about forking out this much cash on a keyboard at first, especially on a brand that i’m unfamiliar with. Reviews were very promissing though and my gut feeling was to go with it. The keyboard itself is a dream to type with – and i type a lot, both at work and at home. The keys are comfortably reactive, don’t require a heavy hand (though will take the punishment while angry typing) and so far i’ve not had any accidental mistypes made by brushing a key. Two usb ports are v handy for mouse and headset. Keyboard backlight adjustable as well. For me it is handy kept dimmed so that i can see fine in low light. If bright is your thing then that option is there for you.

Cherry red keys are extremely quick. Nice textured key finish which is holding up well.
