Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The cherry mx red switches are good and behave as advertised. I'm not a rgb guy but the rgb features are plenty.

I say this because i don't know how it stacks up to other mechanical keyboards. This keyboard is very well made and sturdy. Great rgb mechanical keyboard for the money.

The space bar is a little hallow sounding, but it isn't too noticeable in day to day use. Clicks are bouncy and responsive. It is noticeably louder than a traditional membrane keyboard.

Cons

The original keyboard has coil whine. But then you lose all of the customizations you've set.

The sensitivity was lost and only smashing and holding it tight would make it recognize the pressing.

Constant typos hitting the wrong key while gaming.

Price

I got this on sale for $60 and am happy with it.

I was happy with the price, he was happy with everything else.

If you’re looking for a full sized keyboard at a good price this is it.

Over all a solid piece of equipment for the price.

Packaging/appearance

This was a christmas gift fir a gamer and he was very pleased.

Competitiveness

Had it lasted 2 years i'd probably buy a new one and try again, but i'll be going with a different brand instead.

I first tried out these switches on a friend's gmmk, but since the full size was out of stock, i bought this instead - and i fe... Read More

Over the past 5 years i have purchased at least half a dozen mechanical keyboards via amazon, microcenter and newegg, well know... Read More

And i ended up with it because it was on some consumer list for the best budget mechanical keyboard.
