I love the hell out of the keyboard, but the keys have already started to wear off with regular typing after a few months.
The MK2016 keyboard is built on the Ducky Premier. The keyboard is solidly built and comes with a 2-year warranty.
The Ducky PBT keycaps are the highlight of this keyboard and are absolutely amazing. They are very thick, and they make your typing experience an absolute delight.
It is slightly elevated with flip-up plastic feet. It has rubber feet on the bottom of the keyboard to keep it from sliding. It would be nice if the flip-up feet would provide a bit more elevation, but that is minor.
I am not a huge fan of the light blue/grey color combination (and would like to see a version of the keyboard with the more "classic" black keys with white legends). I appreciate that Mechanical Keyboards went with standard legends on the keycaps (a number of keyboards I have looked at on the site from other vendors divert from the standard labeling and/or positioning of the legends).
The NUM LOCK, CAPS LOCK, and SCROLL LOCK keys are illuminated using LEDs under the keycaps (rather than positioning somewhat blinding LED lights between the numeric keypad and the multimedia keys like the Ducky One keyboards use). Since my eyes are very sensitive to LEDs, this is a welcome change. As these keycaps are not designed to be illuminated, I would like to see MK either replace them with ones designed to be illuminated or re-design them slightly to provide a small "dot" on the keycap to light up when the keycap is enabled.
In conclusion, the MK2016 is a high quality keyboard top-to-bottom with amazing, thick PBT Ducky keycaps that give a top-notch typing experience. I just purchased a second one for my laptop. You will not be disappointed.

Just buy it.
Like another review on this keyboard said, it's a nice, simple looking keyboard that's not as gaudy with LEDs as others like the Ducky Shine 5. Coming from brown switches, the blue switches offer a much more tactile, crisp 'click' that browns lack. There is no programmable macro function on this board, but you can use Autohotkey to remap the 4 media keys in the top right if you want.
