I've known about this keyboard since January and have eagerly awaited it's release. It's funny how many negative reviews this keyboard has generated. I will admit, my opinion is highly biased; Tron is the 1st movie I can remember seeing in the theatre and I've been a big fan since. But you kind of have to be to buy this, right? That said, I am not a PC gamer at all, I am a console gamer. That said, my review of this item will probably not be very harsh as the lack of features on the keyboard that would usually be found on other gaming keyboards does not bother me.
The keyboard is overall made of smooth plastic. One reviewer stated something about being able to see the molding flaws in the plastic because it is so smooth...this is not a criticism I understand at all. The plastic is thick and perfectly smooth. In fact, this is easily the heaviest keyboard I've ever picked up, even with the number pad detached. It most definitely does NOT feel like a toy. If you are accustomed to mechanical keys that click, you may not like this keyboard. The keys do not click and as the description states, have a short travel distance. But there is a definite weight when you press the keys, it does not feel cheap to type on. In fact, aside from the look of the keyboard, I think the feel of the keys is it's best feature. Yes, they are further apart from each other than a standard keyboard. This thing is wide and takes up a lot of space. If you have big hands (like me) then you wont find this to be a problem. Personally, I find it more comfortable.
The detachable number pad does fall off easy if you pick the keyboard up. It's only held in place by a single strong magnet. But it will stay in place on the desk. The lighting looks very nice, but as stated in previous reviews, the keys are not lit to the same intensity as the accent strips. The driver allows for what I assume are pretty standard gaming keyboard features: key reassignment, macro storage, profile storage...but it will not run on a MAC. That means if you own a Mac (once again, like me) then you can only use the features that are on the keyboard's flash RAM which seems to be on the fly macro recording and playback and nothing else...though the lighting can be turned on and off from the keyboard.
My biggest gripe with the keyboard is it does in fact use up 2 USB ports and provides none on the keyboard itself. For the money you pay for this item, it should have more features like that. It does come with headphone out and mic in ports, but these are not exactly useful.
But it looks like it came straight from The Grid. If you love the Tron movies' aesthetic, this keyboard has got it. From the color of the lighting to the font of the letters on the keys, there is only one thing that you think of when you look at this keyboard.

Like most of you I had been waiting for this keyboard since it was first announced. I bought it as soon as I found it at Fry's and they had a display model so I was able to see the difference in promo pics vs the real deal and bought it anyway.
I'm not unhappy with this nor am I dissapointed exactly but this had so much potential and maybe Disney being involved (license fee's aren't cheap!) impacted the actual production of the product. I do not feel that I got my money's worth with this.
Cons: The key's are extremely large making it hard to hit the right key on the fly without doing some finger acrobatics and they also feel a little stiff and cheap. Someone else mentioned an unresponsive space bar if not hit hard enough, I have had this problem with more than just the space bar.
The Rez effect is cool but does not always have the sound effect when turning it on same with De-rez when turning off.
The removable number pad makes this keyboard look HUGE! which I admit with the lights it does look very cool in the dark but it would have been nice to have the keys just a tad smaller.
Overall very overpriced.
Pro's:
-It's pretty in the dark.....
- It is not the best for gaming but is very solid as just a regular typing keyboard
- The box looks cool....
The bottom line is it's a decent cool looking day to day use keyboard but fails to achieve the rank of a gamer enthusiest keyboard.
I still use this keyboard but I also have the Murauder plugged in for games that require a faster response without doing gymnastics with my fingers.

Goes really well with the Tron Mouse and Mousepad. Startup sound and light effects are awesome.
Every key is customisable and the detachable num pad is useful. The keys are pretty huge though, and would be better if the colours were changeable, also, the lack of USB ports was disappointing.
As far as gaming on it goes, after you get used to the key size, it is quite satisfying to use the plastic keys and the gaming function is a cool idea. Also, the ability to record macros without opening the User Interface is handy.
Thoroughly enjoy this product and whilst it has one or two shortcomings, as should be obvious the fact that it is Tron more than makes up for it if you are a fan.
Overall good job, Razer.
