Neat, but ...

The Mad Catz V7 is an ordinary keyboard but also brings for each positive point something negative with it. I personally took a degree keyboard with lighting, media control and USB and audio ports and oddly enough, there are those keyboards, not so often as one might think. Most 'gamer keyboards' at the price be missing as the media keys. The points required meets the V7 and I find the price reasonable.

But as mentioned, there are also some negatives for the better:

- The harness is thick and sturdy, but also advised quite short. When the computer is further away, you have a problem.
- The whole keyboard is quite heavy and a quality image, but if you like me standing there flat on the table, the anti-slip feet on the underside are apparently poorly arranged, because the keyboard is shaking a little bit and can be attributed to pressure the outer rim even a little tilt.
- The lighting looks great and is varied (red, orange, green, green / yellow, orange / yellow), and it can even be different sections of the keyboard individually dyed (eg WASD in green, rest in red). However, the light does not work smoothly. In particular, the spacebar is properly lit only on the right side. Personally, I also do not like the coloring of individual parts, because that looks a little like carnival.
- The palm rest plastic is extendable in 2 steps, but otherwise, unfortunately, total scrap. She is being clicked at the bottom with 2 not very confidence-inspiring Plastikärmchen and wobbles and the non-extended state fairly. Especially on the right side of the pad is a little high and thereby rattling quickly.
- The media control, switch to Game mode and settings for lighting and coloring done via touch screen, which first looks good and works. Buttons are a little sluggish. Whether the touch operation is wertig, will probably rausstellen only with time.
- There is no driver CD. I values ​​but not as negative as in times of INets invites you look anyway prefer newer driver itself down.
- The writing experience for me with big hands pretty 'smooth' and also very quiet - because if one solves the above-mentioned little problems with the feet.

Edit:
I have the keyboard now for almost 2 months and it is now before a day that the touch screen (especially the volume control) no longer work properly. After printing out loud or quietly, the volume controls only in the extremes - ie Mute or 'full speed'. The only remedy USB connector pull and connect again.
