Keys feel fantastic to type on and the blue/grey keycaps look beautiful.
There are LEDs only on the WASD, Esc, Caps, Num Lock, Scroll Lock, and F1-F8 keys, all of which can be disabled if you want. My one complaint about the board is that the LEDs not very visible behind the solid grey WASD keys, but I didn't buy this board for the LEDs, so I usually keep them turned off. I suppose it is nice to have though if you ever get custom caps that you want to show off. The LEDs show up better through the lighter blue key caps.
It doesn't show up in the images, but mine came with Ducky keycaps for the Win keys, as well as an extra bag with the blank Win keys, white F, J and Esc keycaps, and a keycap puller.
Shipping was crazy fast for being free. I ordered on Thursday morning and got my package on Saturday afternoon.
This is a great keyboard for a great price and I highly recommend it!

This is my first Mech, however, I have used friends' boards in the past and this one is superior in every way (in my opinion).
The keycaps, to begin with, are very thick and great to type on. The brown switches offer a nice experience, however, if I must nit-pick, they are a bit rough but that may work itself out with time or I may apply some lube.
I did add red o-rings as a courtesy to those sitting near me as I was bottoming out a lot which caused my typing to be a bit loud.
The board is very clean looking with no extra flair. This board is Mechanical Keyboard brand, however the keycaps do have the Ducky logo on the Win keys as well as having "9008P" on the underside label which is the model number of the Ducky Premiere, on which this board is based, and although I have not opened it up, I would not be surprised if the PCB is Ducky branded as well.
Overall, this is a fantastic board at a very nice entry-level price. If you are a first-time buyer and are unsure, you will not be disappointed.
