Pros & Cons
Pros
This certainly is a no-frill keyboard. I love it, girlfriend hates it. Can't blame the keyboard. Would recommend to anyone.
The only downside is the build quality. I have not experienced any significant flex in the deck. It is better than any non-mechanical keyboard i used to have.
The keys have a nice, clicky sound and it seems faster and less sluggish than the rubber dome ones. They have a pleasant concave shape at the top and a surface that feels pleasant to touch.
Touch typing is now faster, though it took some getting used to the force required to trigger the key press. Very comfortable to type and reassuring - those clicks actually help you keep focused on what you are writing.
Clickety click cherry keyboard with blue mx switches. The switches are mx blue which are the clickiest of all cherry switches. It is certainly worth researching into the various colour switches before picking though.
Highlights
Quality
Whilst it is plastic, the build quality is nice and i have not experienced any significant flex in the deck.
All in all, a very nice, high quality keyboard with genuine cherry switches at a reasonable price.
The chassis build quality is poor and if you try to twist the keyboard it feels like its about as sturdy as a piece cardboard.
You know that you are using a quality product.
Price
It's price is great compared to the gaming keyboards.

Warning cherry mx blues have clicky tactile feedback and are loud

The ducky zero is a brilliant keyboard and mx blacks are decent switches but the lack of any feedback on them annoyed me as i would quite often press keys by accident while resting my fingers

You will still get the clunk that mechanical keyboards give you but it is not as pleasing as the ducky zero for example which is a relatively cheap midrange keyboard
