    It's just a bit wider than your average keyboard so it didn't fit into my under the desk tray. That's the only complaint I have, it's a really nice keyboard. Quite keys, the backlight is just right, not too bright and the USB ports and customization options are very nice. Read more

    This keyboard is awesome, the lighting is just right not too bright or too dim, and the response of the buttons while typing is really soft and quiet. I recommend this product fully.
