CONCLUSION

   I've always enjoyed using products made by Sandberg but I do have mixed feelings about the ThunderStorm gaming keyboard. Its build quality is relatively good and its design may appeal to younger audiences but it does fall short on several other things. First and foremost the membrane keys are very soft and provide no real feedback something which gamers and people who need to type quite a bit will obviously not like (at the same time if you want a quiet keyboard this is for you). Then we have the three available LED colors a feature which although not half bad compared to regular membrane keyboards still is nowhere close to what many other keyboards in the market offer especially if we go to mechanical RGB keyboards. The driverless feature was really expected from the ThunderStorm since it honestly doesn't pack that many features to begin with.

   As I always say price may save or “break” a product but does it save the ThunderStorm gaming keyboard by Sandberg? Well with a current price tag set at USD66.80 inside the USA (Amazon.com) and 75Euros inside the EU (Amazon.co.uk) I just don’t think so and the reason is all the mechanical gaming keyboards available at around the same price point which are far more durable and certainly offer more bang for your buck. If SandBerg can successfully lower the price of the ThunderStorm to around USD50/45Euros then I do believe it will be enough to boost sales to a significant level but until and if that happens there’s just too much competition. Of course we do recommend taking a closer look at the ThunderStorm Gaming Keyboard especially if you happen to find it at a discount.
