Pros & Cons
Pros
Rgb lighting modes are a plus. Comes with a plastic key cap puller and a switch puller swell which would lead me to believe that the switches are hot-swappable. Function/up arrow and function/down arrow varies keyboard brightness in 4 levels plus off.... Read More
Only thing it is missing is a num pad, which i do not use. Great for gaming as well as everyday typing use.
It feels like typical blue keys - nice and clicky and very satisfying to type on. The keycaps feel very comfortable and easily let the backlighting shine through them. My one and only con to this keyboard are the hollow sounding release of the keys.
Cons
Not loud enough to annoy my cubicle mates at work. There is a distinct metal ping sound when typing so if that bothers you, don't buy this. The keys are uneven and cause me to make many more mistakes.
Highlights
Quality
I am really pleased with the quality of this keyboard for the price
I purchased with the outemu blue switches and am very satisfied with them overall
Build quality is great brown switch doesnt have sound white color is nice 40 is great price
Overall with the mods it sounds surprisingly good for the price
Packaging/appearance
No buttons have had any issues and swapping out the keycaps was a breeze
I switched out the keycaps for pbt pudding caps and it now looks like a decent keyb but on a budget
Competitiveness
It even sounds better than my blackwidow v2
They keys are more quiet low than the hyperx aqua switches
If you want a compact welldesigned clicky keyboard at a great price i dont think you could do better than this
So if you want to switch to gateron or kailh switches you would have to crimp the pins to do so

Im particularly impressed by the improved functionality offered by the positioning of the pageandlinecontrol keys along the right side and the tessellation of the cursor keys into the bottom row in the right side

The keycaps are definitely cheaper plastic and the font isnt my style
