Nice feel, spare parts, heavy, just wished the keycaps where translucent.
The keycaps are nice, and the switches are pretty good--if anything, a little *too* light for the linears.
Price
Overall it's a great keyboard for its reasonable price!

The board has a range of lighting effects but it would have been nice if the keycaps were shin through without this the backlighting is really only for aesthetics
