I recently purchased this keyboard after looking around for about 4 months. What sold me was the positive reviews, regarding the quality, brightness, colour feature, and sound/feel. After a few days, I have to agree.The keyboard has some weight to it, which is fantastic as someone who CONSTANTLY nidges their keyboard by accident. No more accidentally moving by keyboard, going to type, and my alignment is wrong. Additionally, the keyboard has grips on the bottom, which really helps it feel sturdy when I have to type quickly. The legs are solid and offer a great angle for typing. The keys are a nice thick plastic, and feels like it would last a long time.The brightness is great, because I like to have my light active day and night. It allows me to brighten and dim the backlight very easily. The light itself is very bright at the highest setting, but not so bright that I'm blinded. This was an issue I had when picking a new keyboard. None of them seem to have a nice middle ground; they were always bright as the sun or "dying flashlight" dim.The colour feature is one of my favorite features. I knew I wanted an RBG keyboard, but I found many were limited to the colour you could choose for a solid light. Also, A LOT of other keyboards made you pick a light pattern, and this keyboard actually lets you have just normal light lol. Other reviews have also said the custom colour/pattern doesn't stay when you unplug your keyboard or turn your computer off. I have not had this issue at all, but I read the manual lol. If you download the software for it (like the manual suggests) you can set 3 light profiles for the keyboard. Once you set a profile to use and customize it the way you want, all the customizations stay. I know because I customized my keyboard at home, on my personal laptop, unplugged it, then plugged it into my work computer, and settings didn't change. Another thing, THE COLOUR SELECTION IS AMAZING. You can choose from a custom colour scale to get the exact shade you want, it's awesome.Lastly, the sound and feel are perfect for me. I like the sound of an old mechanical keyboard, that's been used a lot lol. I find that sound very pleasing when I type because it gives me that light clicky noise, without being too much. But I hate it because keys are always loose and didn't provide enough tension when I typed. OH BOY, was I glad to find a red switch keyboard! It offers me that more muted mechanical sound, and plenty of tension that it feels proper, but not so much tension that I have to press super hard to activate the key. It's also not so obnoxious, that it'll drive my coworkers insane. There is also enough space between the keys that I don't mistype as often, but not so far I can't type properly. I have very small hand (like really small lol) and this is a constant struggle for me, but not here (woohoo!).Lastly, this review is based purely on my personal preference and use. I use this keyboard for typing only and do not play PC games with it. So, I can't really comment on that side. However, I do a lot of typing at work and at home; so this fits my needs very much. If you have similar preferences as me, I highly recommend!
