This is my second one of these. I bought one for home and liked it so much I bought another for work. The Cherry MX Blue keys are a joy to type on. For comparison, on a standard Dell keyboard I can type ~95wpm with 100% accuracy, but I clocked 136wpm with 100% accuracy on this keyboard.
The design is somehow both understated, yet louder than the RGB unicorn barf keyboards that everyone is selling these days. The design is definitely eye-catching and I get a lot of questions and comments about the completely blank keys.
The volume knob at the right has a very satisfying clickiness to it that feels right at home with the rest of the keyboard. The overall construction of this keyboard is really excellent. I wish there wasn't a suspend button so close to the media keys, but Linux makes it very easy to remap that key to something less disruptive. YMMV on Windows or Mac.
My only complaint with this keyboard is the obnoxiously bright blue LED status indicator lights. I wish they had gone with red or green or even white LEDs, and as it is I have a small piece of electrical tape over the numlock indicator on my keyboard at home so I can sleep at night.
