A4tech X7 G800V Wired Silent Gaming Keyboard with Wide Palm Rest - Quiet for pc Gaming - one Handed Macro Access - Non RGB Mechanical

No, it doesnt have backlighting, but it doesnt say it does, so no reason to dock the rating. Just learn where the homekeys are.It does have a lot of extra keys, that's why you'd buy a keyboard like this.I wish it was mechanical, but I love it for both gaming and office use. It DOES take a while to get used to the space bar size, but once you do, you'll miss the extra keys if you ever switch back.The portability is very nice in terms of programmable keys.This is my second purchase of this keyboard; I had the previous one since 2012 and it finally gave out after I spilled my drink on it one too many times. Speaking of which, it's extremely durable, it lasted at least 15 full cleanings (just make sure to not lose any membranes). I gifted one to my friend and he loves it and I'll probably purchase another.TLDR: If you put in the effort to learn key locations, this is a fantastic keyboard at a fantastic price

I would give this keyboard 5 stars if two conditions were met:-Backlit keys (seriously, this keyboard has every feature I want in a keyboard except for lighting)-Why oh why is the \ key where the Enter key should go? I hate hate hate this with a fiery burning passion. Seriously, the Enter key is kind of a big deal. It is standard on the middle row on like 99.99% of all other keyboards throughout they history of time. Why on earth would you pick that key of all keys to try to "innovate" with? Ugh.Aside from these two things, I love this keyboard. The keys feel good, I LOVE the positioning of all the programmable keys, much more keys near the spacebar, makes it much easier to use my thumb.I want so badly to give this keyboard 5 stars, but the enter key is a huge deal, and I game in the dark often, so backlit keys would be a tremendous help too.*Update*So it's been nearly a year and a half since I've had this keyboard. My praise and complaints still stand, but I just wanted to chime in quickly to say that I've decided that I'm simply not a fan of the action on this keyboard. I've grown to prefer mechanical when I can, but that said there are plenty of non-mechanical keyboards I own that feel better than this one does. It's still functional, but I get a LOT of missed keystrokes on this thing. And by that I mean, where I push down the key, but the keypress simply doesn't register.Ultimately if this keyboard were backlit, mechanical, and had a proper ENTER key, it'd be solid gold. Unfortunately, as good as the design is, the execution is ultimately lacking.I'd say 2.5 out of 5 stars overall. But that rounds up to 3, so I guess that's staying as it is. Cheers, I hope this information is useful.

This keyboard at this price it is worth the money. Like it said a lot of keys are programmable and is easy to program the keys by installing the app to your computer and follow the friendly navigator in the app. The macro is great too you can customize anyhow you want. It capture the gap time between key press but I go back to the macro and remove those time off so there is no delay output.the Cons which is the design flaw is the space bar is way to narrow not wide enough so you keep hitting the side keys next to the space bar. The key is a little noise making clicking sound but again it is a gaming keyboard not design for soft user but hardcore, demand durable type of user.everything else I am happy with and train myself to get use to the narrow space bar.May 2022 update:I have been using this keyboard over the Covid period daily for the pass few years. The more I use it the more I love it. It is getting comfortable now. I adjust myself with the tiny "enter" key and the narrow "spacebar" key. Beside those everything else is just perfect. I love the onboard macro memory keys and the media control keys on the rigth side. These are very useful. If this break I intend to buy a same one. Many years clicking daily; it is still going strong. Love it! As for the light on the keyboard. It doesn't have it but it is cosmetic and personal prefernces. I like to focus on the screen more than distracting from the light on the keyboard. I wish they make cordless for this. I would definately buy it.

i've only had since feb 2022, but i love it. i don't game. but i use 12/16 of the programmable keys all the time to save time and reduce pain. there's better stuff out there for this, but it's more expensive, though TOUCH PORTAL could be a cheap alternative for some for the same purposes. however that means constant exposure to phone radiation, which is not ideal. so this keyboard is great in the mean time.

overpriced and didn't last long and some mechanical keyboards are close in price.

I upgraded from a $30.00 Backlight Walmart Blackweb keyboard. I returned it, it felt like a downgrade! No drivers , bad coding on the macro software very unspecific errors. There are much better keybords for the same and even less money

best gaming keyboard by far. with extra thumb buttons.

Overall it is a very nice keyboard. I wanted a keyboard with built in G-Keys (programable). It definitely delivered on that. However, I needed a Silent keyboard that was actually Silent. It needs to work in a sound booth, so silence is critical. I was trying to replace a 'totally silent' keyboard and a 'not silent at all' Gaming programmable Keypad. I will keep looking...
