I've bought this particular model with Cherry MX Red switches option
I've been looking for a modern full-sized keyboard that has large battleship-esque beve akin to the old IBM model M l and I wasn't disappointed.
The typing feel and sounds are fantastic for a prebuilt, non-lubed keyboard.
The ABS keycaps seems to be well made at the very least, although black dyed on black keycaps makes it very hard to see the lettering.
However The board is very unintuitive towards modding, and the manufacturer seems to go out of their way to try not to have their customer prying the keyboard open. There are two corner screws that was hidden under rubber feet that cannot be glue back together should you remove them.
The sharp edges are a little too sharp and you can certainly hurt yourself when rubbing against them.
The *RED* Lock light LED has this eye melting power of a thousands suns focus into one intense laser beam. You'll need to wear shades when staring down this keyboard. I used to complained about UNICOMP neutron star like Blue LED, but this is WHOLE another class of cosmic brightness.
The worst part about this is that, KBParadise uses special kind of gimmicky square LED that can't just be replace with regular LED, so resoldering is out of the question.
The keyboard case, while very sturdy and rigid, creaks and moans like nobody's business.
My old Logitech rubber dome never so much as a squeak, even when I applied enough force to split the atom.
As much as I rake on about this, I genuinely love this model of keyboard and the only reason why I'm writing this review is because I wanted to find an excuse
to just type a whole bunch of nonsense text with this keyboard.
I give it a solid 4 PBT keycaps out of 5 LED lights.
