I type extremely fast and the clack clack clack of a mechanical keyboard sounds like tossing a ball bearing into a paper shredding. Don't ask me how I know. THIS keyboard has a shorter key stroke, quietly operating key engagement, on-keyboard volume control with mute, well lit keys and the standard layout that I, as a gamer, have come to expect. BUY THIS KEYBOARD NOW!!!! OMG I love this thing and I'm not being paid or endorsed by anyone to leave this review. Seriously, I can type at 100+ wpm and still actually hear the video that I'm watching. LOVE IT. Soooo smooth and looks amazing to boot. The only downside to it is that it does not come with a padded wrist rest which I come to expect with a keyboard of this price but I already have one and I'm using it now. This does not take away from the rating of the keyboard itself, nor do I feel that it detracts from the value of this keyboard for the money. If you do not possess very good control of your typing (mainly in the form of intentional key strokes) then you will likely find this keyboard too sensitive. But I absolutely ADORE THIS KEYBOARD!!!
I’m not a gamer but I bought an Alienware laptop for graphic work. This keyboard integrates seamlessly with the pre-installed command center so that was not an issue for me.
The keyboard is SO much quieter than the other mechanical keyboard. It has such a soft, pleasant, tactile stroke, I almost wish for more work. I’m hoping for a type heavy project soon!
On my desk, it sits behind my Wacom and the one doesn’t interfere with the other (but then I’ve been doing this for so many years, I may be subconsciously adjusting my hands).
My work area is pretty dark so I’m grateful for the rgb lighting. It was easy to program- and I only change the color of the number keys from everything else.
BIG CON: it has two (2) usb plugs!! It’s the only reason this is 4 stars instead of 5. Fortunately, I’ve just bought a good dock that supports 3 USB ports. The alienware m15 has 3 USB ports (I think), but I like my station to be portable without too much plugging and unplugging. Since I leave the keyboard (and big Wacom and big external monitor) at home, the docker is a saving grace.
EDIT: changing to 5 stars. I didn’t realize there is an additional USB port on the keyboard and that is the reason for the additional plug. Love this!
And I like Alienware. I’ve been using dell products for 15 years and I’m happy I discovered this in their lineup.
Pros:
Beautiful RGB
Excellent feel and speedy linear keys
Quiet yet 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 in your hands feels solid
Cons:
Price.
Alienware Software. You have to use the latest Alienware Command Center. Now, if you are already using this for something else, the desktop, a mouse or what not, then this is a moot point mostly. But installing another, somewhat clunky software to customize the RGB and Macros is undesirable and it could benefit from from work.
RGB profiles are still just a bit limited. The best example I can think of is that the Rainbow wave that makes this keyboard so beautiful is great, but for any serious long term use would want it to be slowed down, at the least, and right now the speed only goes so moderately low. So the software is a bit bulky, needs a little work, is sometimes clunky to customize manually and switch between profiles. But, it all seems to work well so far, and firmware updating was just an easy button press.
Update: After a month of using this keyboard, I'd say the quality still impresses me, and to be fair, it's still cheaper than Logitech's comparable keyboard. The rubber feet on the back risers works great.
What's not nice is that they've updated the Alienware Command Center, and still, unless you're using it for other things too, it can barely get the job done apart from choosing backlighting presets. Compared to almost every other keyboard, it majorly lacks preset color themes, ability to create your own themes, adjust speed. Software updates came and went and this hasn't changed, which leaves me to assume Alienware has washed their hands of it already.
I'm going to downgrade this to a 4 star for now, purely for the software, and hopefully they'll fix this.
(especially if you're already gaming on an Alienware pc.) It is definitely the nicest keyboard I have owned, and I have owned razer, corsair, and Logitech products.

Reviewed in Mexico on February 22, 2024
Key presses are nice, doesn't require a lot of pressure which makes them quite sensitive. Typing takes a big to get used coming from a membrane, and the keys are angled differently than my old keyboard, but I got a handle on it within a day.
Semi-quiet sound when typing which makes a nice, soft tap noise if you press all the way down. I was worried that since I'm sound sensitive that it would bother me, but it's been fine and I've grown to like the sound a lot. (It got stuck in my head when I was sleeping the other night, but it was enjoyable.) It has a mute key and a volume scroller on the top right, which is what I wanted as my old keyboard had it.
The lighting is great, and I love that you can save profiles directly to the keyboard itself and cycle through them with the FN + F3 key, and change brightness with FN + F5/F6. I find myself sometimes watching my fingers instead of the monitor as I type to watch the lights dance across the keys as I currently have the raindrop effect.
The thick cord is a touch annoying as it uses 2 usbs - one for keyboard, one for passthrough - making it quite thick, but otherwise it's a nice braided cord. If I don't use the passthrough I might just hack off the USB end in the future. For now they're both plugged in so the one doesn't hang freely.
My only gripe isn't with the keyboard, it's with the program itself for lighting. It works well enough, but it has its issues and can be finicky. For example, I have the morph when the keyboard is idling, switching between blue and purple, but when I type, it does have the pink raindrop effect I selected, but the main background where the pink doesn't hit turns rainbow instead of keeping the original effect I chose, or it'll go with the original Alienware blue. It's an odd quirk that I managed to get around the first time, but now I need to play with the software again to figure out how to fix it. Annoying, but not a deal breaker since they could easily fix the software.
I'm glad I went with this keyboard, as my old Logitech gaming keyboard got stiff after 8+ years of service and made typing completely horrible. I did research, and while I loved their low-profile keyboard (tested it in store), I did not want to fork out $250+ for a keyboard. After more research into RBG low-profile keyboards I decided on this one, and I'm not disappointed in the least. $130 well spent, and hopefully it'll service me for several years.
I can't vouch for it for gaming yet as I have a neck injury that makes it impossible to game with a mouse for long periods of time (pinched nerve leading down to right hand), but I imagine it'll work nicely.
TL;DR: Keyboard is solid, good typing experience, lighting is gorgeous. Software okay but has issues.

Reviewed in Mexico on February 20, 2024
Keys are low profile, have great weight, sounds great. Quiet and soft. The build quality is solid. Could be better but this would increase the price. It has nice stand legs with two positions.
RGB is amazing, lots of options to choose from. The software could be better but it is ok.
The only missing piece is the lack of wrist rest. If you want, and I recommend it, you should get a $30 wrist rest. So yeah..
Overall, this is an amazing keyboard for typing. It feels smooth, it does not get in the way. It is ergonomical. Oh and it has volume wheel so that's a bonus.
It feels premium but the price is right below the premium keyboards like k70 or g915.
