What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
The aqua keys are the perfect clicky medium compared to a co-workers razer and logitech which is very clicky. Even though i don't ever find myself using that keypad, it's still tough to imagine giving one up until you've tried.
The keyboard is very heavy and quieter than other mechanical keyboards. From a sound perspective they are quieter than blue, and from a tactile perspective they feel between blue and brown to me. Great for gaming.
Cons
The colors are nice tho, but that's not why we buy keyboards. The keyboard randomly turns itself off and will not respond to any keystrokes.
Tried contacting hyperx with no response. It just throws error 0x80073d05 ad infinitum.
During heavy typing, the caps detach and fall off. The keys require more finger pressure to register. Secondly, the keys are flimsy. The rubber feet are on it and seem to be the same height all around, but it moves!
I get that companies are straying away from including software on cds but. Hardware failures are going to be doa, that's life, but software rendering hardware unusable? That's just sheer incompetence, nothing less.

Packaging/appearance
Switched from the monoprice dark matter collider mechanical keyboard with cherry mx blues to this keyboard and i love it so much.
Competitiveness
The red hyperx switches are really good with no clacking sound
We love our clicky, mechanical keyboards in our office and figured we wanted one with some fun, interchangable colors to match ... Read More
I never thought i would want or need a tkl since i like full size boards despite never using the keypad.

The most important thing to note and i confirmed it doesnt specify in the item description as of this review for office workers who may have older versions of windows against their will is that the software for changing the rgb colors is only compatible with windows 10
