Bought this for my #1 son who plays in the family and loves it. In fact, he bragged about it so much that I decided to check it out. This keyboard definitely has a lot going for it. Now I'll admit I don't know much about keyboard building, but this one seems well made and pretty solid. The keys are smooth and light, and this palm rest is one of the best I've seen. The keyboard is very comfortable to use and holds up well to everyday use. In my opinion the lights are just an added bonus to an already great product. The price is a lot lower than I expected for the quality so I would say it's excellent value for money.
