KitGuru says: We have been quite critical while reviewing the V500Pro but despite some cons the price is really competitive and there are some excellent features on tap considering this is a £50 keyboard. If you are looking for a good example of a budget friendly gaming keyboard that will get the job done then this is definitely for you.
