Nice for the price and good build quality.
Fairly clicky and nice. Great for gaming and typing but I make a lot of typos since it's a fairly short key press. Tactility is good but could use a little more lube on the switches.

Mushy keys (NOT TACTILE)
I am really torn because the build quality of this keyboard is supreme for the price, and the RGB is really beautiful. HOWEVER, these aqua switches are not tactile at all and feel really mushy and cheap. I wish I could recommend this keyboard, but I'll be sticking to my Razer Blackwidow keyboard with green switches as my daily driver. Very disappointed.

Really nice keyboard
Really nice keyboard. I'm coming from a Logitech G810 with the Romer-G Switches. I liked those switches but I like these aqua switches more. They feel really nice and I would say they are more "clicky" than the Romer-G's. The frame feels study and solid. The software for customization is pitiful though. Logitech's software absolutely blows it out of the water. Nice keyboard for the price.
