Is this keyboard good for gaming?

Yes. It has full N-key rollover, so simultaneous key presses register, and the tactile clicky switches give clear feedback. It is wired over USB, so there is no latency from a wireless link.

How loud are the cyan switches?

They are clicky and audible. The click is deliberate feedback, but it can be heard across a room, so it suits private setups better than shared offices.

Can I change the RGB colors per key?

The backlighting is rainbow rather than per-key addressable. Expect a fixed rainbow effect rather than custom color zones.

Does it have a wrist rest?

Yes, a wrist rest is built into the keyboard, which helps keep wrists supported during long sessions.

No. It connects by USB cable only and is plug-and-play, with no Bluetooth or wireless mode.

Does it have a numeric keypad?

Yes. It is a full-size 104-key layout with a numeric keypad, plus the standard function and arrow keys.

Our take on the Philips Wired Mechanical Keyboard with RGB Backlighting

The Philips G600 is a full-size 104-key wired mechanical keyboard with clicky cyan switches, rainbow RGB backlighting and a built-in wrist rest. It is aimed at gamers and heavy typists who want tactile, audible keystrokes and full N-key rollover for simultaneous presses. Its feature set is broad for a mainstream-brand board, though the loud click and fixed rainbow lighting rather than per-key color control set it apart from quieter or more customizable rivals. Owners rate it well overall, with the wrist rest and solid typing feel among the highlights.
