Bonus was a green switch, surprise to me, it's not plug and play. No bother, a bit of solder and now I have a clicky escape key.

This is also my first mechanical keyboard, here's a short summary of my review after 2 months of regular use.

Pro's:
-one of the most affordable mech. keyboard with PBT keycaps instead of ABS.
-keystrokes sounds solid and pleasant to the ears (using cherry red switches), except the spacebar that has a slightly louder tone than the rest of the keys.
-side-printed keycaps is unique compared to common mech. keyboards, very stealthy-looking.
-bonus features such as programmable macro keys, and provides extra set of colour keycaps for arrows, ESC, enter and backspace keys.
-good build quality overall, so far don't have any defects.

Con's:
-stiff and non-braided removable cable, although the connector is gold-plated.
-no LED backlighting, but at this price point with PBT keycaps I think it's alright.
-plain all-black design could be boring after awhile.

I love this board for work! The PBT caps give it a great sound with a ton of tactile feed back. The side prints make it look awesome, without making me look like an idiot when I need a special character or need to type in a strange input string like a part number, or password. I can save that for home on one of my true blank keycap boards.

The only downside is the case doesn't feel super solid, and can let out a bit of a creak if you push or press on the housing itself. The board doesn't flex or anything when you type on it, but its not a brick either. The switches or plate mount so it still feels great to type on. Once its in place you should be fine. To be honest I'm probably spoiled from using aluminum case boards.

This is my first mechanical keyboard. I love it. I didn't need anything fancy and this fit the bill. Everything about this keyboard feels very solid and types wonderfully. Plugged it in and worked immediately with windows.

I did switch out the keycaps for some pretty sky blue side printed ones and added rubber rings to make the keyboard a little quieter for the office environment.
