This keyboard is not bad. The PBT keycaps feel solid. It feels heavy, and the case is sturdy enough. There are two sets of flip out feet of different heights, which is appreciated. Mine came with a nice wire key puller and extra arrow modifier keycaps (but they were double shot ABS).
Now the problems:
The included cable is short, only about 4 feet. It doesn't reach behind my desk to the back of my PC. The gap between the keycaps and the case is inconsistent. The letter colors are unfortunate. I appreciate trying to do something different, but the keys around DFG are very hard to read. What kept me from liking this keyboard most were the key profile and the lack of tactile feedback. As far as I can tell, the key profile is Cherry, not OEM. For me, they were too short and flat. I like tall sculpted keys with a curve I can easily feel as my finger approaches the edge of each cap. I got this keyboard with Cherry MX Green switches hoping for some extra click and tactile feedback, and I was really disappointed. The keys are heavier, which I like better than Cherry MX Blue, but the clickiness and tactility is not proportional. In fact, they feel almost linear. I hoped for something at least as tactile as my current ALPS board, maybe even approaching my IBM Model M, but was really disappointed.
If you like rainbow colors more than being able to read the keycaps, don't mind the short cable, are happy with linear-feeling Cherry MX Green switches, and are fine with Cherry profile keycaps, then I can recommend this keyboard.
Note: This keyboard is actually white instead of beige.
Things I liked:
- Rainbow aesthetic looks much nicer in-person than how it appears on picture.
- Keyboard feels very sturdy and durable.
- Responsive switches
- Keys aren't that wiggly.
- Shift spacebar stabilizers hold up when changing keycaps.
- USB cord is covered with a smooth plastic. Also has three-way cable routing.
- Allows you to set up to six macros.
Cons:
- Kind of heavy overall, but I suppose that's what adds to its sturdiness.
A beautiful keyboard with a wonderful feel. The Cherry MX Browns paired with PBT keycaps provide a wonderful tactile feel to the board, and the rainbow gradient keys are just gorgeous. This is a fantastic keyboard.
