Love it! Good transition from membrane keys

I've always gamed on my Alienware laptop with its built in keyboard and wired mouse so I'm used to membrane keys. I bought a regular mechanical gaming keyboard and found the key travel to be too long. I couldn't type on it either, I was fiddling with the keys the whole time. I replaced that keyboard with this one because of the short keys (and it looks cool and matches my laptop) and I love it! Volume scrolling is a must in my opinion, and the backlight is a lot of fun. My only concern is that…

  • Solid construction

Better than Logitech G815

I used Logitech G815 and it was my main keyboard for 2 years. I experimented with some duck keyboards but ended up hating them all. However, this keyboard exceeds my expectations. I was already used to low profile shifters and extremely responsive travel, so everything was easy for me. What sets the AW510k apart from Logitech are the switches. Logitech uses their own switches while AW uses Cherry Red and I think they are better in terms of feel and sound in my opinion. This keyboard is much…

  • Absolutely amazing!

RGB lighting seems inaccurate

I've *loved* the feel and sound of mechanical keyboards my whole life. I chose this model because I was looking for a white, flat keyboard with backlit keys and this seemed to fit the bill. "Moonlight" is not true white. In some photos it looks like its body is light silver with white keys, but that's not entirely true. The entire body is monochromatic, slightly stone white (except for part of the logo). This suits my setup better as I have a Logitech Anywhere MX 2 in stone if that helps define

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • A few minor things

Sensual typing experience

So far I am very happy with this keyboard. I first bought another compact RGB keyboard, but I didn't realize how much I rely on the number pad. Doh! I'm not a gamer, but I bought an Alienware laptop for graphics work. This keyboard integrates seamlessly with the preinstalled Command Center, so that wasn't a problem for me. The keyboard is MUCH quieter than other mechanical keyboards. It has such a soft, comfortable feel that you'll almost want to work more. I hope to have a difficult project…

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • No performance

Super Sensitivity in PC

PRO: I recently bought an Alienware computer and thought this keyboard would complete the set because it says Alienware at the bottom next to the space bar and it has an RGB backlight. Who doesn't love RGB? The sound scroll volume on the side is amazing too, I can watch a show or listen to music and just slide the scroll button down to turn the volume down. In addition, you can use keyboard shortcuts to pause and skip to the next song in Spotify. CONS: Let me tell you if you are a gamer DO NOT…

Pros
  • Excellent Overall Performance
Cons
  • Protection

Beautiful, low-profile RGB keyboard

The Alienware 510K is a great, fast, low-profile RGB keyboard. If that's what you're looking for I'd say it's a safe bet, you'll almost certainly be satisfied. These are just the real cons, mainly what you would expect from Alienware, software and price. Pros: Beautiful RGB Great feel and fast row keys Quiet but responsive Great media controls USB passthrough works well Quality hardware. The keys feel great, the cable is thick and durable, well packaged and just holding this keyboard feels…

Pros
  • Enjoy
Cons
  • Expensive

Beautiful and often nonfunctional

I don't know what happened to this keyboard but it doesn't look anything like the first model I had. I've only had it a few weeks and have struggled to keep it clean (it's a lint magnet) and found the keys too cramped to really get into a good typing rhythm. Sometimes there is even a lag when typing, which is what confuses me the most while typing. I write for work so this is a deal breaker. The keys are too chunky to be realistic for productivity, and even more so for serious gaming. This is a

Pros
  • Dope 🔥
Cons
  • Almost never
