Excellent Keyboard So Far
This keyboard has been a joy to use so far. It’s pretty heavy and feels really solid. The USB cable is braided and appears to be high quality.Not being a gamer, I didn’t realize how much difference there was between the various switch types (brown versus red versus blue, and so on). As it states in the description, this keyboard uses the red switches, which don’t click at all. That just seems a little… weird for a mechanical keyboard, but you get used to it pretty quickly.The RGB lighting looks good. Unfortunately, Lenovo didn’t put in any keyboard shortcuts to change the mode – you have to use their software for this. Not a huge deal at all, especially when using it with a work computer, but it would have been nice. The factory default color is white throughout the keyboard, with (to my eyes) just a hint of blue. It’s subdued and pleasant.A key cap puller would have been a nice addition.This is vastly better than a keyboard with membrane switches. I highly recommend it!

Very responsive without the clickety clack of other mechanical keyboards.
Bought this keyboard remanufactured. Have had zero problems. I like the way the keys feel and respond. It doesn’t clack like other mechanical keyboards, so it is nice and quiet. The software it comes with makes it easy to customize your colors, make macros and disable certain keys or key combos. It is a full size keyboard but is still smaller than my last keyboard by a long ways. All in all I would recommend this keyboard.

The Goldie Locks Keyboard
I had a basic Dell usb multimedia keyboard with two usb passthru ports, but I didn’t like the typing experience on the low profile keys.What I did want was a full size keyboard with larger (perhaps mechanical) keys, a usb connected, backlit, with a usb passthru port(s) to connect the receiver for my mouse. I didn’t want a bluetooth keyboard because I run two computers through my monitor’s built in KVM switch and the connection would be undependable or delayed. As a casual gamer, I was also interested in what features might be helpful there.While shopping, I quickly realized that the keyboards that met my criteria were mostly all $100-$250 gaming keyboards and I wasn’t going to spend that. Besides, most of them were on the bleeding edge with buggy features or required talking to the cloud to use, ugh. None of them seemed like a good value to me, even Logitech of which I am a general fan.By chance, I ran across this Lenovo Legion K500. I must tell you that I am a former IBM product designer and have a soft spot for the ex-IBM brand. And we will never forget those perfect IBM keyboards of old. So the potential and aesthetics of this product immediately caught my eye – clean, high tech, understated elegance with superior ergonomics. It was usb connected and offered backlighting (even in custom colors). It also included multimedia keys. But no usb port – oh well. Last but not least, it was a full sized keyboard with mechanical keys that would deliver the superior typing experience. All at about $65. So I gave up a usb passthru port to save $100+.I have to tell you, it has fully met and exceeded expectations., even the software makes sense and works great. Although it’s all plastic, it’s a quality build that looks and feels much more expensive. It’s a beautiful addition to my desktop. I’ve fallen in love with it. It’s a tremendous value.Pros and ConsPro -Tasteful, understated designVery ergonomicGood typing feel & quietPlastic, but heavy, very solid buildLots of grip on the deskWorks style wise in a business environmentSoftware is very easy and good for what it doesSoftware works on both Windows 7/10Remembers customization settings locallyBacklit keys with 2 levels of brightness and offWorks great in a dark environmentDedicated multimedia keysGame mode can disable certain keysFlat or tiltComes with an easy on/easy off palmrestNice quality braided cableNumlock/Capslock indicatorsCon -No USB or headset passthruOnly one color at a time/one color per profileCustom macros are a little clumsyVery slightly lite on the key pressure, but okayMultimedia keys don’t light upDoesn’t light up numbers on top, just symbolsPoor instructions in the boxNo mention of software or where to get it(Google – Legion Accessory Central)Color gimmicks are a useless distraction

Pretty great keyboard, but for gamers? Really?
I almost could not believe I found a corded keyboard that is full size and has mechanical keys that I actually like. The Microsoft curve that I loved for over 20 years is no longer made and I’m having to get used to something else, but I don’t want a keyboard that they forgot to put the case on and everything I’ve tried up to this point is just a tiny bit smaller than full size. (Just enough to squish the keys closer together so you can’t help but fat finger everything.) This keyboard being full sized is soooo much better. I like the backlighting and the ease of changing the color of the backlighting. I also like the feel of the keys and the fact that you can actually feel the key press. It is a lot noisier than most other keyboards I’ve used, but I think that is because it is mechanical rather than membrane.The only thing I can criticize about this keyboard is that it can’t take even the slightest bit of abuse. I can be rather heavy fingered sometimes and apparently the feet stands are very week. Not only that, but Lenovo doesn’t sell replacements. Also when the keyboard takes a fist all the keys go flying. When I used to game and really abuse my keyboards the Microsoft keyboard could take a serious pounding. I got so mad at one that I decided to break it and get a new one. Didn’t break! Still kept working. This keyboard…I’m afraid if I really pounded on this one it would break in half. For sure every key would fly off.

I use this at work everyday. Nice keyboard.
This keyboard has a nice touch. Makes a bit of noise though. I use it everyday.

Not very durable
This is overall an amazing keyboard, but a tiny bit of cold hot choclate spilled in a singular contained spot totally busted the entire keyboard. For the price it shouldn’t be so fragile and i can’t bring myself to give a higher review.

Bought this to more expensive razer keyboard and wireless mouse(both returned to the manufacturer due to a dead mouse after three weeks and keyboard not Working as expected). Is a good replacement. No lagging or mouse jumping. Style and build quality is also good and software/driver worked as expected. Very pleased. 🙌

O produto é muito bom, extremamente confortável para digitar.Os triggers são bem robustos e não são tão barulhentos como o Blue.Atenção apenas ao padrão das teclas, não é ABNT-2 e não têm alguns caracteres especiais como Ç~^’`
