Review Text: Smaller footprint typomatic RBG underlit keyboard.. Alienware - AW410K Wired Mechanical CHERRY MX Brown Switches Gaming Keyboard with RGB Back Lighting Summary: Smaller footprint typomatic RBG underlit keyboard. Pros: * Small footprint. If you're looking to save space, this keyboard will help free up a few square inches. * Easily removable keycaps. Almost too easy, a few had fallen off in the box. This makes cleaning and replacement easy. If you have a few loose, don't fret! Just plop them back on. * Underlighting of the individual keys is nice. It provides a feeling of floating keys. * Keycaps easy removable notwithstanding, the keyboard base is substantial and feels well made. * Two prong USB cable and an extra USB port on the keyboard. This makes connecting accessories really easy. Think phones, headsets, or whatever works. * High quality braided cables. These are similar to the braiding on my existing keyboard and they wear extremely well. Cons: * No macro keys. I own the AW768 and one thing I have wrestled with is the macro keys. On the one hand, for some games they are fantastic. On the other hand, I often press them when I don't mean to in contexts that aren't helpful. I thought I wouldn't miss them with this new AW410K. I was wrong. * Volume control is there, but it feels an afterthought particularly coming from the wheel of the AW768. Use: I got this unit to replace my well-worn AW768 that was damaged in a move. This new AW410K is a fantastic keyboard, I just think it might be too small of a form factor for me. Still, every new piece of hardware requires an acclimation period, so I'm still holding out hope. Note: If you have bigger hands, like macro keys, enjoy being able to power off the LEDs altogether, you might consider a different keyboard like the AW768. This keyboard saves space and replaces most functions of my previous keyboard and provides an extra USB port. For these reasons, I would recommend it. But consider your use and ergonomics, as well.
