Great starting keyboard.
It was a great starting keyboard. Nothing fancy, and with plenty of functionality and RGB. I wished it was more durable, as with the mouse, but it did last its fair bit. I would not buy it again unless it was on sale and only as a starter for someone else.

Great keyboard, but conveniently stopped working just outside of warranty period
Was a great keyboard, but shortly after the warranty expiring the entire thing simply stopped working altogether.

Worth The Money
After using this keyboard for a couple of years, I can say that it's withstood the test of time, and it still feels good to type on. Nothing about this keyboatd "wows" me, but for the price it's hard to argue. My only compaint would be the angle of the keyboard. Without the plastic wrist wrest, my wrists start to feel sore after a few hours of typing - not to mention it feels just a tad cheap (it bends downward in the middle ever so slightly). The switches are good, and I love the media keys (which were actually the main reason that I bought it). If you want a decent full size with RGB and media keys, this is the way to go.

Better than I expected
I'll start with the first thing some people worry over: the key switches. They're omron-made switches. They work and feel fine for both gaming and typing. I personally prefer cherry mx reds but these are fine and I can make no specific complaint about them (except maybe that as far as I can tell you can't swap the keycaps, so I'm not going to try). The audio wheel is handy. The keys work. The software was a bit buggy early on, but updates have fixed that. The mouse combo that was available with it is...fine. The mouse is a bit small for my hand but that's not abnormal. It was perfectly functional once the software bugs were cleared up. I have since upgraded past this keyboard and mouse but that doesn't mean there is anything specifically wrong with them. Mostly I think it means my personal tastes are just a big higher. My dad has been loving them both completely and again I can't pinpoint any specific complaints after the software updates. If you're used to Reddragon peripherals or the stuff that came with your computer, these are probably an upgrade for you. If you're used to high-level stuff (like say a ROG Gladius mouse), these probably aren't worth your time.

Great
Love the dial for audio (was a must have). The software is just ok but workable with 3rd party auto key software to make the function keys more usable.
Overall a recommended buy.

I love this keyboard.
My old Logitech G15 that I bought in 2006 was my favorite keyboard for a very long time. This smashes how much I liked that keyboard. Programmable "M keys", nice mechanical switches, beautiful back lighting (which, admittedly, I haven't played much with*), dimmer and media control buttons up top, and my personal favorite, volume and mute at the ready. I use my computer for work, I use my computer for play. The response is fast enough to play metroidvania style games, and the switches are quiet enough that my girlfriend can sleep while I'm on my computer. (Unless I'm typing angry.)
*I have WASD permanently white in color to see easily, the rest of the keys just RGB scroll. Customizable colors per key? How cool is that?

Great deal.
Use this as my work keyboard, I get lots of compliments and I don’t have to type on a cheap dell keyboard supplied by the office.
