GAMDIAS 7 Colour Backlit Gaming USB Mechanical Keyboard with 87 Keys, Blue Switches, Anti-ghosting, Multimedia Control Key with Metal Plate, Combo (Multicolour, Hermes E2)

I have been using this keyboard since a month and now I can say a thing or two about this keyboard..PROS:-> Keys presses are very smooth and tactile with satisfying clicky sound.> Illumination is decent. Not very attractive but also not crappy as well.> Switches are BLUE optical switches which i have used for the first time and they are very good.> Typing on this keyboard is very fast and smooth as well.> It has volume wheel which is very useful in day to day media usage.> Build quality is solid with metal plate on top.CONS:-> The Hera software is buggy and not works sometimes. (Future updates can fix this issue easily.)> Lighting modes are limited and personal customization leaves some keys to default color ( This is another software issue.)> The looks are quite plain and simple. I wish there might be different color options apart from grey.

Your browser does not support HTML5 video.  Built is good, and gaming performance is okay (I've tested it using CS:GO).Color scheme is good, but not much different glow/effect patterns, I'm still okay with thatLayout could've been better, especially with placement of Game/Windows key.It's placement is made redundant with features of locking it (Fn+Game/Win key) I've used it with both windows and Mac.On Mac, Game/Win key is equivalent to Command key.And Scroll lock& Pause Break key is shortcut to increase/decrease display brightness hot keys.The placement of Game/Win key is tad bit annoying.(Check the very first image)And also an obsolete/dud/undocumented key with 'mouse' icon!!!I've downloaded the official manual from Hermes site.Even it hasn't explained or documented the use of it.If anyone knows the use of it, then please enlighten me.Otherwise I'll stick to 3 stars.Thank you seller for quick delivery and good packaging.

Just got it today and immediately noticed the weight it is a lightweight keyboard with Gamdias certified blue switches, the actuation force is on point with good tactile feedback and key caps are double shot injection moulded key caps. Size is nice as one would expect from a tkl keyboard (ten key less i.e without the number pad) for the price I expected a bit more in terms of build and functionality like the cable could have been braided and the body could have been full aviation grade aluminium, it is a mix of plastic and aluminium and there could have been more options regarding the lighting on the keys. One thing i didn't like was that the package was dirty and as expected the keyboard was a bit dirty as well but this is not a deal breaker.To sum it up:-PROS:-Great starter tkl keyboardKeys and key caps are niceBuilt quality is also goodFull anti ghostingLights are nice and brightAnd many moreCONS:-None in terms of responseCable could have been braidedMore options for the lighting could have been provided.This is a first impression I will update this review after using it for some months.

i recently bought this keyboard and i think this is a good quality keyboard from a reliable brand.pros. mechanical keys( blue type). rgb on individual keys..solid metal frame with brushed aluminium look.cons. problematic software with fails from time to time and is laggy.. the keyboard colour is actually grey and not black as showns in the pictures.Despite some of the short coming this is a great keyboard for gaming especially and one it will be worth it to buy.

Pros:Rigid frame - almost no keyboard flex. Metal parts help keep it sturdyTenkeyless - portable and easy to fit in a bag, but the thickness of the keyboard is a bit on the higher sideKey switches - Good feeling switches with a loud and clear clicky soundCons:Key layout - Windows key is in the wrong side, Function key is in its placeKey disabled - Windows key needs to be enabled every time you connect the keyboard or restart the computerPalm rest is needed when using due to height of the keyboard

At this price I did not expect the keyboard to be this good. I think for an entry level mechanical KB this is pretty swell. The finish is definitely very good. LED illumination could be better but nothing that I cant live with. I ordered the TKL Hermes E2 model. Loving it so far and I look forward everyday to coding with this.

Missing in the manual -To cycle thru the various color options -- Fn+ Ins/Home/PgUp/Del/End/PgdnIncorrect Manual -To increase or decrease the backlit, the keyboard must be set to non-breathable/non-disco mode (Fn+end)Then use Fn+ _/+ as mentioned the manual.I was about to return - after some research in the net & experimenting, have found the above steps.Hope that helps.Otherwise, my 10 mins of usage of the keyboard seems to be good. Was using Ant earlier. Comparable Key feeling. The cable quality could have been better however ...

Best mechanical keyboard in a budget rangeIt has got all the features.you just need to compromise on the rgbIt has got a 7 colour lighting and some basic effectsTalking about performanceThis keyboard takes much less spaceAs it's TENKEYLESS and also performs up to the mark in fps games like counter strike global offensiveCan compare this one with mechanical keyboards in the 8k - 10k categoryHighly recommend :))

Hi,The keyboard looks fine, but in other peoples video i saw that they have a blue key caps and i got a brown one. How do i get the blue ones or can i buy them separatly

Pues asi todo iba ser perfecto pero llego con un golpe como cortada chica pero profunda

Llego maltratada la caja del teclado, lo enviaron sin proteccion. No es un producto nuevo ya que venia el sello de garantia cortado y la caja rota.

Excelente funciona a la perfección solo no he podido acomodar las luces no sé si se pueda

Nice construction, feels sturdy, the aluminum plate has a very nice color. Backlight are not that bright but was just what I wanted. Switches feel the same as MX switches.
