Having used exclusively fullsize membrane keyboards for many years - this is my first shake at a mechanical TKL board. Long story short, I find typing on the board much more engaging. Red switches take a little getting used to - making a few more errors at first. The TKL format takes a little getting used to - sometimes I hit the "\" instead of 'enter' more frequently. Not having a number pad is also something to get used to - but not too bad as it turns out I don't use it as often. However, I find myself wanting to practice touch typing more and more. Not a bad way to find out if you like using a mechanical TKL keyboard with red switches.

I bought this as a replacement for a more conventional, but worn-out, keyboard. I'm not a gamer, so this aspect doesn't matter to me, but the keys are nicely shaped and spaced, with a nice click feel and a texture I really like. I find the lighting a bit of a gimmick: the key colours stay the same but there are 9 different patterns of flashes you can set and it seems there's no "off". I generally use the "all on" setting as I find the flashing a bit distracting. Only downside: no numeric keypad. For me this wasn't a deal breaker as I have a separate numeric keypad I use. Not sure how well this will last, but they included 5 replacement switches. For the price you can't go wrong.

Not happy with the keyboard. The backslash key is in the wrong place. Due to it's positioning, I routinely miss the return key unless I eyeball the keyboard before pressing return. Not worth it... I tried returning the keyboard, but it's on 'Clearance' so non refundable. :(

The Keyboard initially came with multiple missing stabilizer bars, which was already a bad sign. Then after using it for three weeks, the A and D keys started intermittently working which was simply unacceptable. Although cheap, it's not even worth buying at all.
