Cobra Reinforcement-Iron LED Gaming WASD Keyboard and 1600DPI Wired Mouse Combo (EKM801BK)

The aspects of this keyboard is simple and the keys are smooth and as i am typing this i am currently using my E-3lue along with my mouse and mousepad by the same company and i have no trouble with the led's they are simply fabulous and the keys can be changed i changed it to black since the blue and black did not work together well (for me atleast) and this keyboard is a must buy for the price and for its quality.

First things first. It's a very good looking keyboard. The bright blue lights and the mechanical look (albeit not a mechanical keyboard) provide a futuristic feel, something that would go well with a fancy gaming desktop with the lights and everything. The key presses are good, but not great. It's nothing like what you'll get with a mechanical keyboard, but they provide good pressure and decent tactile feedback. The interchangeable WASD and arrow keys are pretty cool. I think they're supposed to let you see them easier in the dark, but with the LED lights, it's difficult to see the keys at all.And speaking of the LED lights, it's not possible to turn them off without some tinkering that would void any warranties. And they stay on even if you turn off your computer. I've had to put a blanket over my keyboard every night so as not to bother my roommates when they go to sleep. The lights are probably the biggest problem for this keyboard. They're fairly bright, and I wouldn't recommend gaming in the dark with these - they're just short of blinding. They're not really a problem in the daytime or if there's light in the room, and they still look pretty cool.The spacing between the keys is a little small, and it can feel a bit cramped if you have big hands or if you're used to other keyboards. You would think this is to make room for other buttons like macros and media buttons, but that would be a bit inaccurate. Unfortunately, this keyboard doesn't come with any of those, and the lack of function button combinations is a bit annoying if you're coming from a media keyboard. But then again, this is a gaming keyboard.So then, how well does it do for gaming? I tested out a variety of games ranging from FPS to Strategy to Typing Games.FPS: Keyboard presses are smooth and not too difficult. I can imagine that it would be handy in fast paced games, where even a little big of type lag can mean the difference between life and death. It's definitely a step up from generic and wireless keyboards. While the feel of the keys and the pressure it takes to actuate a press are fairly decent, there was one issue. I found that when running Crysis 3, if you press too many buttons at once, it won't recognize all of the key presses. I found myself quite frustrated when I couldn't activate an ability or move out of the way because I was already holding down several other keys. I had this same problem playing Deus Ex: Human Revolution, and basically all FPS games that I played. Although I must say that the number of keys you can hold down at a time before it stops responding is an improvement over generic keyboards.Strategy: I played some Civilization V and had no problems really. The only issue I had was getting used to the positions of the keys when I was trying to press the shortcut keys without looking, but this can be overcome quickly with a bit of practice.Typing Games: This one was definitely the most interesting and the most exhaustive test I conducted for this keyboard. Because the pressure required to actuate the keypress is slightly higher than some generic keyboards and especially the logitech keyboards I've become used to, rapid typing can become quite tiring. The keyboard gives good tactile feedback to let your brain know you've pressed the key before you consciously realized it, but you've got to build up some stamina if you're going to be using this keyboard to type a lot or if you're playing games that require you to move your fingers across the keyboard frequently.All in all, decent keyboard, fair build, looks AWESOME, but kind of annoying. 4/5

Unreliable, poor quality. Opened it up and plugged it in and it didn't work. Tried 3 more times and got it to work but all of the keys on the very left do nothing when pressed. So I'm writing this review on my iPad. The q,a,z,1,alt,shift,control,tilde,and escape keys do nothing. But hey, at least caps works so I can angrily type THIS KEYBORD IS BD. NOT GOOD. RETURNING IT S SOON S POSSIBLE.

pro- nice key, have led light on the side.con- the enter is difficult to use and always press this \ key instead the enter key. Also, the middle of the key board kinda high and the three light of the number, cap, scroll is too bright. because the keyboard was not flat and harder to type.

This WOULD have been an awesome keyboard IF the darn "Enter" key wasn't so messed up. Why they would make an Enter key like that and switch keys around is beyond me. If you don't plan on using the Enter key or you don't plan on using it to type with, then this keyboard is for you. I, personally, couldn't get used to this keyboard's Enter key. Since I got this keyboard with Amazon Free-Super Shipper Saving, when I went to return it, they wanted me to play like $10 for shipping which is almost half of what I spent on this keyboard, so I said "Screw it, I'll put it up on Craigslist or something". So I purchased a used Logitech G510 for $40 on Craigslist when my boyfriend said that he really wanted this Combatant-X keyboard. So he gave me $20 for it and now it's his problem. The Enter key wasn't a big deal for him since he doesn't type much and he has larger hands, he said it's something that he could get used to and learn to deal with it whereas I on the otherhand just couldn't deal with, I kept getting frustrated with it because I would keep pressing the backslash key instead of the Enter key because they decided to screw with the original QWERTY system and stick the keys like " ; " key, " ' " key, " \ " key and then the "Enter" key when normal keyboards are set up like ;,', Enter and then the backslash is above the Enter key, that's why this keyboard screwed with me so much. If this is something you think you can deal with then go for it, but that was my only problem with this keyboard, otherwise it would've been perfect. However, I will also admit that the type of font that they used to label the letters on the keyboard can be a little difficult to read, but if you're like me and rarely look down at your keyboard then this probably won't be an issue for you.

Got this for my Home PC. Love the keyboard and keystrokes feel great. Kind of Wish there was volume buttons but other than that its great. Gots a heavy base which makes keyboard feel for stable and LED just make it look cool. I get E-Blue products often because alot of their stuff can be found on decent price and has always last.July 2019 - still going strong

I was a little dubious about this keyboard because of the price and the fact I've never heard of this brand ever. However, I'm quite fond of it. The buttons are large and the typing is very smooth and responsive.The keys are in the right places, except for the backslash that's to the left of the enter key. While that would've been a deal breaker in the MS-DOS era, that key is rarely used these days so it's trivial.Removable WASD and Arrow Keys are cool with you don't want to always have blue keys there. Other than that, it's a good keyboard at a good price.

Awesome keyboard, would recommend
