Highlights
Quality
Great mechanical keyboard with different rgb modes and programmable knob and app is very easy to use
Seems very well made and like it'll last a good while.
My major issue with this keyboard is the assembly quality.
The left control button registers as constantly being pushed down.
Price
If you're not looking to spend $200 for a custom, premium keyboard, try this, you'll love it.
I got the prebuilt since it was only $20ish more expensive than the barebones even though i intended on swapping out the switches.
$20 isn't a bad deal for doubleshot keycaps which fit in with the board perfectly.
Tldr: if you don't have a mechanical keyboard, or are just looking to try this brand, i think this is a fantastic $100 keyboard... Read More
Shipping
Extra pc labeled keycaps are included, but it shipped with the mac keycaps installed from the factory.
Competitiveness
If i were looking for a more gaming-oriented keyboard in this price range, i'd go for the g613 by logitech.
Overall, i like these more than the cherry reds.

The larger keys such as the enter and backspace are still louder than desired and higher pitched which is a bummer but not terrible still better than previous keyboards with brown switches

The spacebar is louder than desired but on the lower end of the frequency so not unpleasant

I went to disassemble the board and two of the phillips countersunk screws were over torqued

One was able to be removed by using a nicer driver and applying a downward force

The other screw stripped and i needed to carefully drill out the screw

Before i even got any of these screws out though i noticed an extra screw laying in the bottom of the case
