First thing I experienced with this keyboard was feeling how heavy and sturdy it wasfor us rigorous typers, it's a chore to have to move our keyboards back after our strokes push it away. The interchangeable keysets made this purchase very worthwhile for me(a Starcraft/WoW player). My only gripe is no back-lights on the keys, but heythe soft glow of multiple monitors is all the light us gamers need, right?

Great keyboard, heavy and sturdy so it does not move around when pushing on the keys. Media keys work with iTunes in the background without having to alt-tab out of a fullscreen game :D

A word of advice when installing this keyboard: Do not have it plugged into a USB 3.0 port. The SteelSeries Engine software will not recognize the device and the firmware update will freeze causing the keyboard to crash and become unresponsive. I found this out the hard way, after multiple installs/uninstalls and computer reboots, once I plugged it into a USB 2.0 port, SteelSeries Engine installed and recognized keyboard with out an issue and the firmware update was applied with no problems.

This keyboard does, in fact, work with older keysets that are on the official compatibility list, the list is easily found by going to google.com or any other search engine and typing in "Official SteelSeries Shift Compatibility List"

I was able to use my Zboard World of Warcraft: Burning Crusade keyset with it, which is about 5 years old. You just have to uninstall the SteelSeries Engine and reinstall it with your compatible keyset in the SHIFT keyboard.

The keyboard works great. The only thing I noticed it that when using other keysets, those keysets are a little harder to get the latch to unsnap.

I received the product on time, everything was in perfect condition. It was to give it to my son, and he was very helpful. I only had problems when installing so recognizing the USB port. Maybe I can not attribute to the product as guilt, but the computer where it was installed. Overall, I am pleased with the product.
