I just wanted to throw this up as an FYI to anyone considering one of these keyboards.

I bought my first on because the KB is simple, there's no software, nothing fancy and they are advertised as being 'rage proof' which to me would indicate that they are tested to withstand abuse, and as such should be more or less bomb-proof under normal usage.

First one I got had it's backlighting fail after a few months (only the WASD will light), this took place after some other intermittent issues.

I sent it through Mionix RMA, was a pain, got a brand new one at no charge though, so I was willing to give it a shot. has had random issue where KB will randomly connect/disconnect.

Just last night the backlighting failed in the exact same way it did on the last one.

Definite QC issues, I will be replacing with a KB of a different make. Buyer be ware.
