Consumer review (newegg.com)

Super nice keyboard

 

- I like this so much I have two of them; the other is the tenkeyless version so I can fit it next to my large gaming mousepad

- MX brown switches - comes with red WASD keys as an option - not too noisy

- slight metallic sound if you type hard like i do, but this doesn't bother me at all.

Solid, reliable keyboard.

 

Absolutely recommend as a no-nonsense mechanical keyboard for first time buyers or for someone just looking for a keyboard that will last forever while not breaking the bank.

Clean print on keys, good value for money, very solid base and cable, nice selection of different switch types.

Supplied keypuller is very flimsy, but for a free extra it's fine.

No flash, just click-clack!

 

-Good starter mechanical keyboard if you're not concerned about flashy LEDs, macro keys, volume controls, USB passthrough, etc. -Build quality is excellent. There's definitely some weight to the keyboard, which keeps it planted on a desk. -Cherry MX...

Is it worth it?

 

This is my first mechanical keyboard since the 90s. I was using a $8 keyboard before I came across this puppy online. I kept saying, "no, this keyboard is just a gimmick and the trend will fade." Then my friend bought one and let me test it out. I can...

Great Feel, No Frills

 

Great keyboard, would recommend to anyone looking for a sturdy keyboard with a polished feel.

Exactly what you'd expect with a sleek matte black finish and clean typing feel. All around well made and minimalist

Slightly raised lettering takes time to get used to (you can always feel the off-center letters on your fingertips) Right windows key replaces right-mouseclick key, next to right alt and fn buttons. PS2 port required for N-Key Rollover Minimal...

Love it.

 

This board is great. I'm not paying more money for a useless light show. No clutter of useless keys. Nice and clean and a joy to use. I will never go back to disposable boards. BOING BOING!!

Feels good. A longer throw than disposable boards, but a real solid response. I get what I type.

BOING BOING BOING BOING Every time I release a key the metal plate goes BOING. I'm just waiting for a couple of weeks to insure nothing is defective then I'm going to open this sucker up and stuff some foam against the metal plate to damping the...

Decent Mechanical Keyboard

 

I just received this keyboard and this is my "DAY 1 Evaluation". I plan to update this review after 1 month of use or create a new review. First I'd like to say that this is my first mechanical keyboard in about 15 years. I gave this review 3 eggs for...

Solid Construction Feel Cherry MX Brown Keys Laser Etched Key Caps Nice and heavy Rubber feet all around

Rough sounding key stroke Loud keys when they bottom out Braided cord is very stiff N-Key Rollover only via PS2 connection, not USB (as advertised) NUM Lock, CAP Lock, and Scroll LEDs are a bit cheap [or nostalgic] looking and the silk screened...

Great Keyboard, Horrible Customer Service

 

Keyboard is a pleasure to type on

Cooler Master's customer service is abysmal. My keyboard shipped without a keypuller and extra keys. I contacted CM customer service and was issued a ticket for replacement parts, I kept being told that the US shipping warehouse was backlogged and I...

Defective product and still waiting

 

Months after purchase all I got to do with my keyboard has been troubleshooting and sending emails to customer support. My trusty Logitech G510 has been in use since then. It's a shame I was looking forward to owning a superior mechanical keyboard but...

Best keyboard I ever used... for 2 weeks

After e or 3 weeks of usage I started to notice strange things happened whenever I used my numpad. Eventually the equipment degraded to the point where hitting numpad6, at any moment, would immediately close my computer. At first I believed the problem...
