Azio Levetron KB577U MECH5 Mechanical Programmable Water Resistant USB Gaming Keyboard
Cons:The volume wheel takes way too much time to spin to change volume from lower and has no grip to it to assist you with spinning it. The side USB attachments for the keypad are often unresponsive, though the extension USB wire is also great for this. Rubber grips (especially on the mousepad) are prone to getting dirty which makes them even less grippy. Don't like how it has to use two of my USB slots for it (to be at maxinum power.)
Pros:Great feel, great looks, nice additional keys and the detachable/switchable keypad is a great feature. Great mechanical feel and keys. Simple yet effective software. Comment:
Great mechanical keyboard for all sorts of games. The detachable and switchable keypad and [the keyboard's] software are probably the two strongest features of it, and the cherry black mechanical keys are great. The volume wheel takes forever to go from full volume to mute and has no grip to it, though, and the grip on the bottom of the keyboard are prone to getting dirty and lose grip. While it's optional to use one or both USBs, I don't really like how you have to use both USBs on the keyboard cord to get the most performance out of it. Still a great mechanical keyboard. |

Azio Levetron KB577U MECH5 Mechanical Programmable Water Resistant USB Gaming Keyboard
Cons:- Cherry black switches (see summary for reason why)
Pros:- Price- num pad is detachable- Matte finish (no worries about fingerprint marks) Comment:
Bought this keyboard as part of my intro into mechanical KBs. I was not sure what type of switch I would prefer, but the price was what convinced me to get this KB. Pretty much all the decent to good mechanical keyboards are over $100, so this was a very pleasant surprise.Also not very common is the detachable num pad. The num pad is attachable on either side of the keyboard or can be connected via an included USB cable. Anyone undecided on whether to get a full size keyboard or a numpad-less keyboard should consider this keyboard.The matte finish of the keyboard makes it really easy to clean. No worry of it being a dust magnetic.During my time with this keyboard, I have come to the conclusion that I don't really like bottoming out the keys to type, which is one of the features of cherry black switches. However, this is no fault of the keyboard. This is a great keyboard for anyone who likes cherry black keyboards or is looking to try out a mech keyboard, like I did. |

Pros:Great lookingCheap when bundledComfortable Comment:
Board performs very well, very comfortable, but has no LED backlighting and the keys are noisy, so don't plan to have a quiet night of gaming while the wife/parents are sleeping. GREAT value when you get the bundle with the mouse and headset like I did :) |

Got this keyboard for 20 dollars off with a free Azio Mouse, it's a great keyboard and it replaces my old Razer Lycosa quite nicely, I love the cherry switches but the problem is that this keyboard is really rough on the hands after 8+ hours of use. |

Cons:Rather large
Pros:Sturdy, modular, programmable and adjustable hot-keys, water-proof, nice design, cherry black keys. In the review by "arant" he claims "The keyboard is miss recognize from time to time," and he blames it on the keyboard. I haven't had this problem at all and I would say it is likely his system causing the problem and not this keyboard. Comment:
A great mechanical keyboard for the price, works great. |

Cons:The keyboard is miss recognize from time to time. (Either the keyboard, the macro-pad or the numpad doesn't get recognize or recognize as a storage device) Re-plugging the USB port fix the problem, but gets annoying. Likely to be a driver issue that Azio should fix sooner or later.
Pros:Awesome design, fully mechanical, modular, ergonomic! Build tough and waterproof (tested for myself). Comment:
Serious keyboard built tough for serious usage. The black cherry key are awesome for gaming and double tapping. |

Pros:Beautiful keyboard with hard plastic made... Comment:
Hi !Beautiful keyboard!The first impression at the box opening is very visible ; is the "E" key too much low ( i mean crushed )... & second issue appears & it's the usb cable from the keyboard itself ; the cable is like textile made and a small bump appears on it with textiles as disjointed (nothing serious i think )!Tomorrow I'll test the keyboard to be sure ... with a second review.I buy it for a gift & It's for my nephew(7 years old).He will receive it at christmas! |

Cons:Keys Fade Quickly,
Pros:Mechanical, Very Sturdy, Nice Layout, CHEAP! Comment:
I bought this keyboard as i wanted a good cheap mechanical keyboard and that is pretty much what i got. Feels good to game on quite a few macro keys in accessible locations. On the down side the keys symbols wear quite quickly about a month and there half gone. Also i feel the spacebar is too pointy sometimes but i think that's just me. Probably will buy a membrane keyboard next time as i record a lot and mechanical boards are too loud but its a pretty good board. |

Cons:- No on-the-fly recording feature- Faded keys- Satisfactory numpad locking mechanism- Not backlit- Satisfactory software features/UI - Drivers can be faulty at times (Profiles not switching properly)- Needs more keyboard profiles built into the keyboard- Lacks audio I/O
Pros:- Comfortable- Sensitive keys- Modular design- Great typing experience- Good amount of macro keys- Dedicated calculator button- Water proof- Extra USB 2.0 port Comment:
At $70 or less, this is the best mechanical gaming keyboard one can buy. The typing experience is great and is a huge improvement from membrane keys. It has a good amount of accessible macro buttons which are fantastic for gaming. Original price deserves 4 stars due to quickly fading letters, satisfactory drivers/software, and lack of on-the-fly recording. Even a faint back-light would have been great. |

Cons:Return key didn't work for me. But other than that I had no issues with it.
Pros:-Lots of programmable keys.-Mechanical Comment:
I bought this a little while ago and had to return it because the return key didn't work. I read more than one account online of people having the same issue so if you're buying this keyboard I'd recommend opting into the express RMA service, as I did not. Luckily for me NCIX's staff were very gracious and let me return it for free (just the one time). |

Cons:Some keys dont work
Pros:All keys can be remapped. Waterproof. Marcos work great. Comment:
I just got the Levetron Mech 5 today and it would have been a great keyboard if the Enter key and right arrow worked. I loved the design and its remappable keys but the Enter key not working killed it and the right arrow also gets stuck after you press it sometimes. I probably got the one defective model among the thousands of them out there. Hopefully the replacement would not have the same problems |

Pros:Removable numerical pad!Cheap if you buy on sale!Mechanical keys! Comment:
Been working with this for a week now! Great for typing not so great for gaming!The lettering on the keys started to fade!(after a week!!) Wish I had read the reviews here before buying!Plastic feel all around.I will sell this before all the keys have faded away and get a Logitech G510 Gaming Keyboard for 30$ more it is well worth it in my experience with the G15.

Pros:Modular, detachable numberpad and macro keys.Solid keys, fully mechanical. Comment:
Kind of disappointing about the fading keys considering my $15 logitech keyboard from a 2 years ago is still good as new. Besides that, the overall build quality is good. If you can get this at $70 before mail in rebate and don't mind fading keys, then its worth it. |

The Levetron KB557U is an amazing mechanical keyboard, and is worth its price. The unique features such as the detachable numpad is a nice bonus. My only con with it is that the keys tend to fade away quickly. |

Cons:- The volume knob pitch is not adjustable; the current setting may require too many rotations for some- The LED cap for the numpad is a really dark blue, but turns red when it's on- The backplate is not metal- Key cap prints are turning brown after a few weeks of use, though that might just be reflecting my general hygiene.- No strain reliefs a the end of the D-pad wire - It's, in reality, a 2KRO keyboard via USB
Pros:- Detachable keypad that can be used by itself with the included cable- All keys are cherry mx black except for the rail mounted D-pad- Very solid feeling build- Huge rubber feet for all height adjustments- Software's easy to use Comment:
I'm loving the keyboard so far. It's a quality piece of hardware that I can see as my final keyboard. Only time will tell of its durability. I tested the keyboard's ability to input the usual clusters around the wasd key. Some combinations worked but many didn't. Normally the keys adjacent to each other did not register more than 3 keys at a time. One I remember was WDE. Crtl space and shift modifiers worked fine combined. The keycaps turned a bit brown around the wasd clusters from usage. They haven't worn away or chipped. I suspect they might be laser printed, but I have no detail nor enough experience to say with certainty. The print does seem different on the D-pad though. Though the keyboard has giant rubber feet for all levels, the 2nd level feet isn't positioned at a proper angle. The rubber feet actually misses its contact point and is not as stable at this level. I can put a spacer to fix the angle, but I prefer the highest level. It's not backlit except for the macro keys. By backlit, I mean literally backlit. The keys nor letters on the keys are transparent. Please be sure to view the features and options (or lack thereof) before purchasing the keyboard. I'm just outlining certain things that are not completely obvious from the pictures or specs sheet. I'm really digging for bad things to say about this keyboard; nitpicking really, But this is the best value mechanical keyboard when it's on sale. If I were to pay 150 or more for a keyboard, I'd expect it to have absolutely no negative points pointed out here. |
used it for 4 month and it just performs acceptable as a mechanical keyboard. so many functions, good buy if on sale.
