The keyboard arrived in good time and good condition, I am based in the UK, so kudos to MK for this. On to the keyboard. The first thing is the colour. I expected the main letter keys to be a deep orange but in reality the are a deep coral pink. The outer casing also looked brown but in reality it is maroon. The main reason for buying it was the colour scheme so this was a disappointment. The short cut keys, home in particular don't seem to work consistently in office 365 or office 2016, and the dip switch instructions are vague at best. This means that navigating in applications is hit and miss using windows 10, currently this hitting my productivity and I tend to have to revert to other keyboards I own to get work done. The keys themselves have a nice finish rough texture and appear to be able to last, that said I have barely used it for the previous reasons. The mini USB cable connection and cable included are the lowest quality I have received with a keyboard to date, not a good lasting impression, but fit for purpose. I have a number of ducky keyboards and every element of theirs seem better executed and thought out. Despite being a Cherry Blue MX Switch key depression seems harder than on my Ducky's, you can tell them apart in a blind test. I am considering the Ducky 3 once it is available for purchase as I want to change the switches for Khaihl Bronze speed switches.
nice board but the caps are a little hard on the eyes they looked nice and bright in the first 2 stock photos but if you look at the 3rd stock photo you will see they are not actually as bright as the first 2 pictures. On day 2 using it so far liking it besides it being a little hard on the eyes
