L key stopped functioning properly within 6 weeks
The good: Keyboard has a decent feel, it's solid and has some weight to it. It looks great. It comes with a lot of really great RGB options, and it was cheap for a mechanical keyboard. The bad: After a month the L key stopped working. I can still use the key, but it does not register taps unless I forcefully tap on it. The depress is no different than any other key, and nothing was spilled on the keyboard in the 5-6 weeks of ownership. I had a similar problem with a cheap Thermaltake keyboard that I bought from Best Buy many years ago. I don't think I will buy another mechanical keyboard in this price range since I'm now 0 for 2. Hopefully HyperX makes it right and their replacement keyboard is a better quality.

Amazing build quality
This is my very first mechanical keyboard. All I have to say is I'm very impressed with the build quality (all-metal chassis) and the customizable presets of the RGB lights.

Nice keyboard so far
So far I really like the keyboard. I also like how the colors roll across it.
