## Description

Product Description desertcart Basics Gaming Keyboard From the Manufacturer desertcart Basics

Review: Nice product with RGB - I always wanted a RGB keyboard and at a sale price I got one from desertcart Basics! First off, this keyboard is heavy and big in size. No flex in this puppy - nice an strong. Comes with a braided USB connector about 4 feet in length, software CD for the control of the RGB lights, or you can download the software directly from desertcart. The keyboard keys are nice and of a good size, I hate the small click keys so common these days that come with computers. I just do not like the feel of those keys when typing, guess I am too old style since I learned to type with an old IBM keyboard back in the day. This keyboard has the RGB lights under the keys, interesting, I accidentally knocked one key off and holding it to the light I noted you can see the letters and number through the key, that means that there are no printed or painted letters/numbers on the top of each key to wear out - might be a laser cut but not sure The feel of the keyboard is good but you may need to use a bit more force while typing, you do hear a clicking sound but this is a membrane keyboard not a cherry, red, blue, or green movement style keyboard. I can type about 100 words a minute even at my age without a problem on this keyboard. The colors RGB can be changed a number of ways, styles, and color of the lights. You can play with various combinations. This is also a gamer keyboard and can be programmed as you see fit, I am not a gamer per say but it is good to have that option if needed in the future. My spouse is checking out my keyboard with envious eyes which speaks for itself. It does have its limits - for example it is heavy and large so some folks may wish to look elsewhere if you have a small desk area. It is a USB port keyboard not a wi-fi device. But for the price I am a happy camper. I am now looking for RGB mouse to go with this keyboard. As is the case with desertcart Basics products I feel you get value for your money. You can check it out on Youtube to see if this meets your needs.
Review: An easy way to add volume control to the keyboard - How to easily add volume control to keyboard (review below) This may seem complicated but it's very easy and took me about 1 minute from start to finish. To add volume control to this keyboard just Google 3RVX and download the latest version from their site. Once downloaded type 3RVX in the Windows search, right click on it and select open folder. You will see 3RVX and Settings, open the Settings. Go to the settings tab and click the + then in the first drop down menu select "volume up" then click on the next box and press whatever key you want to assign it to (something you don't use like "next track") and then click the + and select "volume down" and assign that to a different key. If you want these binds to work after you restart your PC make sure you go to the general tab and select "start with Windows" and your done. I saw a bunch of reviews complaining about the lack of volume controls so I figured I would share this in case anyone really wanted to add it. It works great for me and gave the keyboard an extra bit of utility. Review: As for the keyboard itself the quality seems pretty nice. The key presses aren't like a mechanical keyboard but for me that's not a problem, I prefer the quieter style of keyboards. The keys take a little more force to press then my last keyboard but I actually like it and it feels pretty nice for gaming since. Once you download the software you can create 3 different back light colors and cycle them with a press of a button. The lighting options are pulse, blink, on or off and there is 3 different brightness settings that go from kind of dim to kind of bright. Coming from a very flat Razor Deathstalker keyboard it's going to take some getting used to but for the price I got more then I expected. The only thing I don't like is that after a few minutes of inactivity the backlight automatically shuts off and I haven't found a way to change that in the settings. This only happens when I'm watching a video or something like that so it's not a huge problem but I'm still not used to it and I think my PC is going to sleep or there was a problem. Overall for a budget gaming keyboard its better then I expected. I will update this review if I have any issues over time.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for the price - Mechanical FEELING if you aren't used to true mechanical
*by S***Y on March 23, 2018*

TLDR; Good board, will recommend. Pros: Nice to type with, better than a membrane, 5x3 macros are tops, colors are RGB and bright, media keys are great. Cons: Space key sounds springy, keyboard is tall, software is tedious to use, WASD and arrow keys are textured Okay, the main complaint I've seen by people is how the title says "Mechanical feel". I haven't used many real mechanical keyboards, but coming from a membrane keyboard? This is pretty mechanical feeling. You need slightly more force to actuate the key, and when you do it releases suddenly into the keypress. There's no rubbery feeling at the bottom of the key, or at least not that I can feel compared to my other one. It's also a little louder and audibly clicks when they key is pressed, making it easier to confidently type than my other keyboard. The 5 macro keys is a step down from the 6 I had before, but the M1-M3 buttons are amazing. I've already got M1 and M2 filled, and I'm looking for a use for the M3. 15 macros is just awesome. The lighting is RGB as well, instead of just 7 colors or something. VERY surprising on a keyboard at this price :) I keep it on red since that's the theme of my set up, but if I ever changed the theme I'd know I could have any color I'd like. The media keys at the top are nice too since before I had to hit FN and F9-F12 to manipulate my music. There isn't a volume adjust though, but I think you might be able to do that on the G1-G5 keys, but I can't say for sure. Regardless, still convenient. The cons are minimal when you consider the price. The space key has a springy sound when you hit it, but if you've got headphones on you can't even hear it. They keyboard is about half an inch taller than my old one, so I had to get used to the extra height. The software needed to be updated right away, and it didn't really make it easier to use, just fixed bugs. The process you need to go through to create macros is unnecessarily complex and makes it a bit tedious to create a batch of macros. Lastly the WASD and arrow keys are slightly textured where they've been etched, which you can notice a little bit in games. It doesn't take more than a day or two to get used to though, and I imagine will wear down after a while. All in all, I'd recommend this board 100%. Very glad I took the gamble with it :) I'll update this post if something changes or breaks through normal use.
