Keyboard great, just not from Amazon

First of all I must say that I had like everyone else I ordered this keyboard through Amazon. The first delivery was unfortunately signs of wear and scratches on the keyboard. Therefore returned and ordered again. In the second, the flakes broke through the LED indicators for Num Lock and co. These shortcomings once left out, a neutral rating:

The keystroke is truly outstanding. Yes, I can confirm that the tap a little louder than on the G19 fails, the writing experience but is significantly better. As always, but again: a matter of taste. The missing display opposite the G19 makes barely noticeable. Why? There are anyway hardly apps that support this display and the pure performance indicator or clock you have to get not necessarily always displayed. The macro function on the ISKU is really easy and super resolved. The driver can be perfectly on Win 7 64bit and 64bit on Win 8 install and cause any problems. The best part is the palm rest which is firmly integrated into the keyboard. This cast from a single piece makes the whole thing very stable and pleasant. It rattles by nothing and you have nothing to worry about, that could be a piece angeklippstes possibly even break.

BUT:
The illumination of the keys is really rotten in the batch of Amazon. Like other reports here, it is true, these are no longer to see the special characters of the top row of numbers. The numeric keypad is almost completely unrecognizable, because everything is cut off from the illumination. If one of the lights so the buttons were completely unrecognizable.

So why do 5 stars? Here is the resolution:
I turned with these problems to the ROCCAT Support and described everything. The super is really great and you get a very quick response. I was assured that no longer prevail and these problems can only be connected to an old batch which will be sold off at Amazon. I was advised in the ROCCAT SHOP purchased, which I did. And what can I say, I was not disappointed. ROCCAT has kept his word.
The keys are no longer printed with transparent numbers, but have received a white coat. Thus one ever recognizes each button perfectly even without lighting. A huge progress. Then the lights: Here was reworked as promised by the support. The illumination is now scattered evenly over all the buttons and it does nothing more ticked off.

Those who thus contemplates this keyboard to grab well, should be prepared that he receives an old version of Amazon. Current lots are located directly at ROCCAT and I can recommend this keyboard to anyone looking for an alternative to Logitech and this relies on quality without having to spend a fortune. The G19 keyboard can easily keep up.
