Solid keyboard nice features

Verified Purchase:Yes
This is my first high end (for me) keyboard purchase. I recently purchased a new gaming rig and wanted a nice keyboard to replace the standard keyboard that came with my new rig. I chose this model for several reasons, specifically, a solid construction with multiple features.
Pros:
• Silent keystrokes, which I prefer however, not so silent or soft that you don’t feel a positive feedback when you depress the keys
• USB pass through
• Nice spacing on the keys, far enough apart that “fat finger” is not a concern
• Customizable back lighting and keys, with an onscreen application
• Wrist rest
• Solid construction and nice quality
Cons:
• No volume control knob/button or separate media controls. You have to use the “Function” (Fn) key along with the “F” keys.
• Single USB pass through. I use the current one for my Mouse but it would be nice to have an extra one.
Overall, I am very pleased with this keyboard. I actually purchased two other styles and ended up with this one. One last suggestion, shop and compare prices. I was surprised at how all over the board gaming keyboard prices varied across all the different retailers. I also saw Best Buy reduce this one by $20.00 right after I purchased it then up the price by more than $10.00 a week later from my original purchase price.
Thanks,

Excellent Rig, keeps its cool under heavy loads

At first, I was not sure about this somewhat odd shaped CPU. When I first started my research, I wanted to replace my ASUS gaming laptop with an ASUS High performance gaming CPU. I initially selected a traditional style ASUS gaming CPU over this one but ended up with this model instead because Best Buy had a great monitor /CPU package deal. The Alien spaceship looking design of the unit is a little different but it has grown on me. If you are wondering, how they can make such a powerful unit in such a tight space it is because they have moved the dual power supply (one for the graphics card and one for the CPU) outside of the unit. You will need to consider this when setting up the unit. Essentially a laptop power cord setup in the size of a brick that will need to sit in close proximity to the CPU.
I like the customization lighting on it and the keyboard does light up and is an adequate gaming keyboard, although, I swapped mine out for a more robust Corsair keyboard. The CPU fits in my desk cubby with plenty of surrounding room to spare and is small and narrow enough to get good airflow all around it.
Contrary to some of the reports, I have read online my rig appears to run cool. I have run Fallout 4, World of Tanks, World of Warships, and Armored Warfare all on max settings. They look fantastic and run great. After about two hours of game time, the highest temperature I have seen with the onboard temp monitor (AEGIS) was 43-51 °C. The model I have comes with the NVIDIA GTX 970 4GB card. I typically play for about an hour or two with the longest stretch of four hours on Fallout 4.
Overall, very pleased with this rig and ASUS products.
Thanks
