Pros:

User interface software has great functionality.
256 colors to choose from for your backlight options.
Easy switching of user profiles completes the super smooth feel of the keyboard.

Cons:

Only two USB ports on the back.
Makes me wish I had a different desk so I could use the fan all the time.
