I got this keyboard as something to experiment with. I've had a really hard time finding keyboards with the tactile feel I want (light/linear). The hot swappable PCB means that I don't have to worry if the stock switches didn't feel good - I could try new ones and finally figure out what components work for me. So I bought this along with switches and keycaps. And after much experimenting...I put everything back to stock exactly as it came in the box. Now I'm even carrying this keyboard to work to use all day. It's become the keyboard I compare every other against. I adore the TTC Gold Pink switches it came with, more than the MX Speed Silvers I'm used to. The keycaps are great, with a Cherry profile that's far less fatiguing than the DSA caps I bought. And then there's the sound. It's a deep, thocky sound that tells me that keydous must've lubed the switches and stabs before packing it up. Putting in unlubed Akko Vintage White switches resulted in a high-pitched, clicky keypress that I just couldn't handle. The wireless sometimes flakes out on me, especially if I don't have a clear line of sight to the receiver, and I haven't tried to find and download the software. But this keyboard is close to perfect right out of the box.I've tried quite a few different keyboards. I tend to like clicky switches and really hated linear switches like reds for a long time. I got this keyboard with Gateron pro milky yellow switches and they're amazing. More resistance than reds while being buttery smooth. They feel a bit heavy at first but you get used to them fast imo. The keycaps are pbt and look great, weight is good, sounds amazing, good stabilizers, switches are pre-lubed, battery life is good, 2.4 connectivity, usbC, hot-swappable, good lighting effect, volume knob, full set of f keys...buy itThis product gives you a good bit of kit for the money. Not that the keyboard was cheap but you are getting features and components that the custom Keyboard hobbyist world enjoys at a fraction of the cost (build dependant maybe)I went with the Gateron Pro Milky Yellow key switches and the steel back plate option and the sounds and feel is fantastic!! Nice thocky key presses...a premium feel for sure.Absolutely love the keyboard. It’s beautiful and amazing quality. Very happy with the milky yellow switches and brass plate.I'm going to be honest, I don't write too many Amazon reviews, but I was so satisfied in the product that I had to. (It also gave me an excuse to type with the keyboard :))Right out of the box the quality feels amazing, I'm not too well versed in mechanical keyboards, but I will say this keyboard is the best I've used. The current mechanical keyboard I had was very..."sharp" sounding? And I wanted something that felt more smooth and made that "thok" sound, and this did not disappoint. I got pretty worried that the shipping would take a while, but I ordered the keyboard on 07/12, and it came on 07/30. So its actually a pretty speedy delivery time considering its coming internationally.I really would buy again, others reviews don't disappoint and are not exaggerating on the feel/quality of the keyboard.I got the brass plate along with the gatreon brown switches.This keyboard is so buttery smooth. I used to have the ducky varmillo miya pro in white, and this one is so much better. I also haven't charged it since I got it which was almost a month ago. To be fair I don't use it often, but it definitely holds its charge. I use it to play mmo games and to type while working. It's a great great keyboard. So glad I upgraded. I spent 178, and I know it was cheaper for some people but honestly, for the sound and performance you get? 178 is worth imo.I have this in white, with milky yellows, and the brass plate. (Have always been a cherry red switch person, and I love the milky yellows)There is no 2.4G receiver included in the package and there is no seal in the box to indicate it's not used
