Rated 5 out of 5 stars
Great responsive keyboard.
Got this on a whim when i was browsing the store. I didn't own a mechanical keyboard before, using an older Razer keyboard that wasn't so great after years of use. This keyboard took/ is taking a bit of getting used to, mainly because i got the red version that is very smooth. The keys don't 'click' because of how the 'red' keys are set up. Instead they smoothly press down, which took some getting used to as i like to rest my thumb on my space-bar when gaming, and would occasionally jump accidentally due to me pressing my thumb down on it too much. I really like this new keyboard though, because it's a lot more comfortable than my older keyboard, and being able to change the keycaps and take them off for cleaning is a huge bonus.

Almost great
The keyboard is very precise and the lighting is cool and great for many activities besides gaming. My only concern would probably be that it doesn't have a rest for your wrist like other keyboards do. Other than that its great!

Absolutely lovely
Excellent mechanical keyboard. Love the MX Cherry switches. Keyboard build quality is top notch. Metal base feels fantastic. I have noticed 0 pinging noise when typing. Feels amazing to type on. N-key rollover works great. Note that N-key rollover is not enabled by default.
