Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Just got this keyboard for Christmas. Overall, it's great. However, upon having it plugged in my computer for 1 hour, the left side macro keys started flickering (g1-g6, `, 1), and now as I write this (about 3 hours later) they are completely dead. All the other keys seemed to still work however. Looking online in other forums, it seems like this is somewhat of a common issue. I don't want this review to deter people from purchasing this keyboard, I just wanted to make others aware of the issues you could encounter. ===UPDATE 1-10-13==== I got a pretty quick turn around on my RMA. HOWEVER, the new keyboard has light issues -- AGAIN, but in a different spot. For a keyboard that's $150 dollars, you'd expect it to just work I guess. Silly me. Furthermore, after doing some research, it looks like key lighting is a pretty widespread issue on these. I don't get why people are marking this review "not helpful" when i'm just telling it how it is. Anyway, again, you've been warned. Two down, let's see what the third brings. ===UPDATE 2-11-13=== So after my third keyboard (actually had to get a refund for my first order and then re-order since Amazon does not do a RMA on an RMA), it seems to be working well. I've had this one for 2-3 weeks now and the lights are still going strong. Amazon may have gotten a bad batch, I'm not sure; as i mentioned above, it's just disheartening to know you are playing roulette with a $150 dollar keyboard. Overall though, I still am quite happy with the keyboard. I also want to note coming from a g15/g19 series, it will take a bit to get used to (keys are harder to push, key layout is smaller/aligned differently, etc.) ===Update 1/27/2014====== I forgot to add this over the summer. My control key on the left side randomly just popped off. While it would have been easy enough to simply send me a replacement key, they forced me to send in my keyboard yet again for an RMA. On the plus side, they sent me back a brand new one. So I am now on my fourth keyboard and it appears to be working ok for now. Again, overall the keyboard is pretty nice, and probably one of the better ones i've owned, but i've literally gone through four in a year. It's pretty disheartening.
