Versatile Keyboard for Gaming and Everyday Use
I was in the market for a keyboard to use mostly for gaming, but also for regular everyday use tasks as well. This keyboard was probably the best for my purposes as it provided convenient mix of features to handle both tasks very well.FIRST IMPRESSIONS:-Good weight, sturdy construction-Good paint on keys-Resilient USB cable with decent length-Spacing of keys feels comfortable-Features number pad (for other office/daily tasks)-Multimedia controls at the top-Straight-forward software installation and set-up (comes with CD for installation, and a link to download if CD drive isn't an option)GAMING:-Included software to customize the features of the keyboard (lighting, macros, sensitivity)-Brightly backlit (even in a lighted room) and features various brightness levels (I believe 3) and a spectrum of any color you could want-Able to toggle between 3 selected colors on the fly via a dedicated button-Breath/pulse, strobe lighting features-Able to bind macros to 5 keys located on the left hand side-Able to adjust the sensitivity and input delay of each key pressOverall, it has many features to supplement all of your gaming needs, however it cannot be compared fairly to a truly mechanical keyboard when it comes to the sensitivity of pushing each key (requires noticeably more effort). I understood that this was not mechanical, and I opted for a non-mechanical keyboard because I didn't want they loudness that comes with mechanical keyboard as I tend to play into the late hours of the night.If you're buying this product with the expectation that it will be able to compete with or replace a mechanical keyboard, this is not the product for you.However if you're in the market for a nicely crafted, customizable keyboard for gaming without the "clickity clack", then give this product a shot!

5.0 out of 5 stars Tastatur mit guter Haptik / Probleme mit der Software
Reviewed in Germany on August 1, 2018
** Hardware **
Die Tastatur fühlt sich beim Schreiben sehr gut an und liefert eine gute Rückmeldung bezüglich des Druckpunktes der Tasten. Evtl. sollten die Tasten selbst etwas größer sein, da diese für mein Gefühl etwas zu eng sind.
Mit Hilfe einer auf der Tastatur angebrachten Taste kann die Beleuchtungsfarbe ohne Software gewechselt werden. Im Auslieferungszustand sind dies: Grün, Blau und Rot. Hierbei muss angemerkt werden, das die Statusanzeige für Caps-Lock, Num-Lock, usw. die Farbe nicht mit wechseln. Diese verbleiben Rot (s. Bild) was jedoch zumindest mit dem Rot der Hintergrundbeleuchtung harmoniert ;) Evtl. ist es möglich, das mit der Software zu ändern, was mich jedoch zu meinem nächsten Punkt kommen lässt:

** Software **
Leider kann ich bezüglich der Software nichts positives sagen:
- Die Setup-Routine lässt keinerlei Änderung irgendwelcher Parameter zu, sondern kann nur in das durch die Software vorgesehene Verzeichnis zur Installation verwenden. Ausser der Wahl zwischen 'Abbruch' und 'Installieren' steht keine Option zur Verfügung.
- Die Installation wurde dann - ohne Fehler - vom Installer durchgeführt.
- Beim Start der Software (Stand: 01.08.2018) in Version 1.0.1.7 bekomme ich unter Windows 10 64Bit Version 1803 den Fehler 'EAccess Violation".

Das war's :(

Der Versuch mit Hilfe des Supports den Fehler evtl. beheben zu können blieb leider erfolglos, man war jedoch sehr bemüht. Leider half dies nicht, die Software zum Laufen zu bringen - ehrlich gesagt, hatte ich das Gefühl die Dame war etwas überfordert und kannte die Software gar nicht.

Da mir vom Support ein Rabatt auf Grund der nicht funktionierenden Software gewährt wurde, werde ich die Tastatur trotzdem behalten. Evtl. wird es ja mit einem kommenden Update besser...

Nach den Rezessionen hier und auf Amazon.com scheint der Fehler nicht jeden Besitzer mit Windows 10 zu treffen. Sollte also evtl. ein anderer Nutzer eine Idee zur Installation der Software unter Win10 Pro 64Bit haben, wäre ich dankbar.

Normalerweise hätte ich für die - bei mir - nicht funktionierende Software zwei Punkte abgezogen, da der Support sich jedoch wirklich (leider erfolglos) bemüht hat und der wirklich guten Haptik vergebe ich dennoch 4 Sterne.

@Amazon: Wenn die Software läuft gibt es auch 5 Sterne, Kommandozeilentool würde mir auch reichen ;)

04.11.2018. Nachtrag: Dank einer Person, die hier in den Rezessionen die Lösung verraten hat, bin ich nun auch in der Lage die Tastatur wie vorgesehen zu nutzen :) Sein Tipp mit einer einfachen Änderung der Konfigurationsfiles hat bei mir funktioniert.

Um auch den etwas unbedarfteren weiterzuhelfen, hier nochmal eine etwas genauere Lösungsbeschreibung:

- Software von Amazon installieren.
Dies führt unweigerlich zunächst einmal wieder zu dem bekannten Fehler. Macht nix!
- Da man bei der Installation keine Wahl hat, sollte die Software bei jedem i gleichen Verzeichnis liegen:

c:\Program Files (x86)\AmazonBasics gaming software\

Die Datei hat jedoch Zugriffsbeschränkungen, weshalb man das folgende als Administrator machen muss. Aber keine Panik, es ist ganz einfach:

1. Die Windows-Taste und gleichzeitig die Taste R drücken
2. Es öffnet sich ein kleines weisses Fenster, wo man nun "notepad.exe" eingibt (ob mit oder ohne die Anführungszeichen ist egal.
3. Es öffnet sich nach dem Klicken auf OK - wer hätte das geahnt - der Editor von Microsoft. Aber vorsicht! Durch das Procedere hat der Notepad nun administrative Rechte.
4. Nun im Menü des Editors auf "Datei" und "öffnen" gehen und sich durch den oben angegebenen Pfad bis zum Installationsverzeichnis hangeln.
5. In dem Dateidialog vom Editor ist unten Rechts über den Knöpfen "OK/Abbrechen" ein Auswahlfeld, dass auf "Alle Dateien *.*" umgestellt werden muss.
6. Die Datei "main_config.ini" mit dem Editor öffnen
7. In der Datei steht praktisch nur der eine Eintrag "Language=-1" diesen einfach auf "Language=6" ändern und die Datei speichern.
8. Die Amazonsoftware aufrufen (sollte eigentlich gehen, hab das hier nun bei vier verschiedenen Rechner verifiziert)

Sollte das nicht geklappt haben, einfach noch mal von vorne Anfangen, manchmal klappt das nicht mit den höheren Rechten und die Datei lässt sich nicht ändern. Beim zweiten Mal hat es dann bei mir funktioniert *freu*

Viel Spass mit der Tastatur, den hatte ich zwar schon längere Zeit, aber jetzt erst kann die auch alles was versprochen wurde.

Schade, dass niemand bei Amazon darauf gekommen ist :( Bin nicht Nachtragend, daher gebe ich - wie versprochen - jetzt die fünf Sterne für das Produkt. Das Produkt ist sehr gut, nur mit dem Support hapert es noch ein wenig.

Und wenn ich schon dabei bin: ich arbeite jeden Tag 4-10 Stunden an meinem Rechner und die Tastatur fühlt sich noch immer so an, wie am ersten Tag.
