Led Lights Failing after one year
NOT worth it the cost. The led lights are failing on some of the keys. Some do not light up at all. I have had this keyboard just over a year. Manufacturer Warranty is for one year.
I bought the K500 keyboard when I bought my Legion laptop in 03/2023. I only use the keyboard with the laptop when at my work station.

Decent for price
Feels and sounds nice if you want Red switches. RGB looks nice, but would be better if volume/media control hotkeys had backlights too, not sure why they didn't add them when the game mode button has it.

Very satisfied
I’m not a gamer just wanted the colorful backlit keys. The characters on the top row of keys are easier to recognize than they are on the Logitech G213 and cost less and feels a lot more sturdy too.

Looks over quality
Despite its advertised heavy build and cool RGB effects, this keyboard is undercut by significant flaws. The keys are disappointingly flimsy and produce an excessively loud click that will disturb anyone nearby. The included plastic wrist rest feels cheap and is practically useless. While the one-touch button to disable keys is a nice touch for gamers, these positives a...

Great keyboard
Great keyboard. It's dual use for work and gaming. Have had no issues. Fun little touch to add all the color options for the lights

Not the quality that i expect from Lenovo.
I don't know if it is just this keyboard, but at times 1 key gets stuck. All of a sudden I will see 22222222222222222222222222 and my fingers aren't on the keyboard. I have also noticed that it will miss a letter once in a while. Maybe there isn't enough feedback to my fingers to know when I have struck the key.

Type faster with this keyboard, old school feel.
I love the auditory and tactile experience of this keyboard. It makes me type faster. The lights are a nice esthetic and being wired removes the need for batteries

So Far So Good
My first Lenovo Keyboard, after multiple failures of Logitech. So far it is easy to use and fits my typing and gaming fingers perfectly. I am very pleased with this keyboard. As to how long it will last for Flight Simulator, I'll have to post later.

Good, but lacking customization on LEDs
Great, smooth keyboard with good LEDs while satisfying the need for mechanical keyboard. The only downside is the lack of LED customization. While you can select from several presets, the custom option only allows a single color rather than several colors per key.

Surprisingly Great Keyboard for Work
First Gaming Keyboard but I find it super functional for my workspace needs. The keystrokes are solid and satisfying. I appreciate the keyboard's customizability, and its footprint in my workspace. Happy with the lighting options too...I chose something a little more subtle and it doesn't disappoint. Used mainly for work and not really for gaming so I cannot comment the...
