First off, this keyboard is really beautiful. I personally believe that the pictures don't do the actual keycaps justice. (But I guess looks are subjective)
The build quality of this keyboard is really good. No flexing, no warping in the spacebar, no loose switches, nothing like that. Super solid board.
Also, the 'thocc-iness' of the space bar is insane for a stock keyboard. I was genuinely surprised by the lack of rattle in the spacebar, however the other stabilizers could use a little more tuning. But again, for stock the stabilizers are pretty damn good.
This keyboard also sounds pretty good. Compared to my other cherry mx brown switches, the keyboard has a nice midrange sound signature, with a little more clack then thocc. However, being un-lubed switches there is some spring-ping, especially with the keys that are divided off from others, prominent in the escape key. Highly recommend this keyboard to anyone who's new to mechanical keyboards or aren't too deep in the hell that is custom keyboards.
HOWEVER, if you use a custom cable, you might have to end up ditching as this keyboard uses a mini-usb connector. That's the only notable downside this keyboard has.
Amazing quality for a keyboard. Went with cherry mx silent reds since I liked my previous cherry reds. The silent reds seem like an upgrade to me definitely stay true to their name and seem smoother. The keyboard itself is built like a brick seriously you would think the plastic casing was metal. I will see how it holds up over time if all is well would definitely buy another.
It is a super nice keyboard. Its very hefty and the whole top part is made of metal and feels super nice. The one problem I had with this keyboard is that the keycaps are VERY tightly fitting on the actual switch. I tried pulling one off to replace it with some of the other ones provided and the actual switch stem came out out of the housing. I almost had to return it but after very much force and some help from tweezers i managed to put the stem back in the housing and the switch back on. The switch works fine now but i kind of panicked at first. I got mine with the Cherry MX clears so i'm not sure if this happens with every switch option but its a thing to note and watch out for. Since then, if I am to take off a keycap I do so very carefully and slowly so as not to pull out another stem. Overall I would recommend this board to others if they're not super into RGB which i am not as it does not have any. It does have backlighting but it's kind of obsolete. I would give it four and a half if i could but the pros outweigh cons so im going with a five star rather than a four.
This is easily the best keyboard I've bought to date. It fells good and the size gives me a lot more room for swiping my mouse. The switches feel good and very quiet (Cherry MX silent reds).
