- Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2019Color: RGBSize: FullStyle: Silver SpeedSet: KeyboardVerified PurchaseThis keyboard is stellar. I prefer it by far to my previous main, a Corsair Cherry MX Red board (and all my other keyboards), and it's far more enjoyable to both game AND type on. The board is very minimal and aesthetically pleasing, which was something I was very hyped for due to the aforementioned keyboard being far too gamery and gimmicky appearance-wise. But the switches were definitely the standout feature for me, and I say that as someone who was very skeptical of them after recently trying Kailh's Box switch range and ending up quite disappointed (at least for use with gaming).
I also love these switches the most compared to all my other switch types, be they Romer-G, Razer Purples, Cherry MX Browns/Blacks/Reds/Blues, or whatever else. They just feel amazing, and I've felt like my gaming has benefited quite a bit. Even my noob Osu! play has shown some improvement. There definitely seems to be a reduction in reaction time with jiggle strafing, or adjusting to enemy player movements, with a definite drop in delay with key spam too. I've been testing switches for the last few months in games to see what works best, so I feel confident in making that claim. I can't say whether they're better than MX Silvers though, as I've not tried those yet.
RGB:
The RGB LEDs are definitely better than other boards I've got, though I will say that it wasn't a big selling point for me. I don't care much for RGB, but if the board has it, I'll turn it on and leave it on a solid colour, unless there's a nifty effect like the fire ripple of Razer's, or the GMMK's various wave effects. The software was extremely basic though, and it took me a good bit of fiddling to figure out how to set my profile as a default on the board.
There are also far fewer effects and means of customising lighting schemes when compared with the competition's software offerings. So consider this as a big negative if you're looking for sophisticated RGB lighting and profile management. It didn't bug out though, which I can't say the same for Logitech and Corsair's programs, as in my experience they've both bugged out some lights on their respective keyboards, or failed to save to device memory.
Verdict:
I highly recommend this keyboard, and I'm typing this just two days after receiving it. It's wow'ed me immensely. I would say that, unless you're a stickler for stiffer switches, or absolutely need to use tactile/clicky switches, or just lack the patience to adjust over a day or three to the more sensitive switches, you will almost certainly not be disappointed. I'm going to list some negatives below, but note that I can't sing this keyboard's praises enough.
Small negatives:
The switches are rather wobbly. You can put your finger on the key and easily move it around in a wide arc whilst bottomed out. If you were hoping for more stable keys like a lot of the newer Razer or box stemmed variants, you're going to be disappointed. HOWEVER, I would argue that it's less noticeable than with Cherry MX switches during use, because you don't bottom out the Kailh Speed Silvers as much, due to higher actuation points and stiffer springs. It's like typing on air :P
Additionally, the keyboard seems to buckle towards the center a bit when any force is applied, at least compared to some of the sturdier boards I have. But it was only noticeable when I replaced my keycaps with the HyperX Milk Pudding ones. Other than that it didn't really affect me.
Lastly, the keycaps felt a bit harsh on my fingers, almost abrasive. I've seen mention online that they need some breaking in, but it was very noticeable after a couple hours, at which point I moved to the above-mentioned, smoother Milk Puddings that I bought along with the board. Kailh switches like those on this board do use standard Cherry stems, so changing keycaps is a simple affair with the myriad keycap sets available online. If you're unhappy with these that is.
Anyhow, I hope this helps someone! I'll update if anything changes. But right now I'm 100% happy and will be using it as my main keyboard for the foreseeable future.

Need to get used to this keyboard if you're switching from reds but overall its a good keyboard
- Nathan JrReviewed in Australia on June 21, 2019
5.0 out of 5 stars Great Keyboard!
Color: RedSize: TenkeylessStyle: Cherry MX RedSet: KeyboardVerified PurchaseFirst I have to say, this keyboard is GREAT! It arrived way sooner than it was supposed to have arrived and is perfect in every way.
[Note: This is my first mechanical keyboard]
First impressions:
The keyboard has a nice weight to it, not too heavy but not too light that you can easily push it around on accident. The rubber pads under the keyboard were nice, good quality and the keyboard does not move when gaming unless you forcefully try to move it. The switches are great! Nice and light, doesn't take much to acuate them, and are perfect for gaming. The lighting modes are awesome and add a nice flair to the keyboard.
Overall a very good buy!
- CCraigReviewed in Canada on August 3, 2020
5.0 out of 5 stars Great typing experience, perfect keyboard for the price.
Color: RedSize: TenkeylessStyle: Cherry MX BlueSet: KeyboardVerified PurchaseThis is a high build quality, great bang for the buck keyboard you should get if you are looking for a good Cherry MX Blue switch. The build quality is top notch, the lighting is perfect and doesn't bleed onto other keys, the lighting effects are also really good, you can have a solid static red colour, fps mode, or custom mode. The custom mode let's you pick what keys are lit. There are 2 other modes that I don't use tho. I prefer the static modes. The placement of the keys are right where you expect them to be. Not too big not too small with good spacing between them. There are no ugly logos on this keyboard like some other brand names. Small Hyper X logo on the space bar which looks good. There are also 4 different light levels. This is a 5 star keyboard which last for a very long time. Easy to clean. If you are a gamer I would get the Red or Brown Cherry MX cause the Blues can make your hands tired in very long game sessions. But for typing you cannot beat a Blue switch for positive feedback when you are typing, You know you hit the right key with the audible click and feel. I wish this keyboard came in a Brown switch, It does come in the Red switch which I will most likely buy for gaming since the actuation on the key presses is a lot lower. Overall one of the best bang for the buck keyboards you can buy right now.

Y sobre todo barato para tener switches Cherry MX. Aunque nuevas versiones ya vienen con switches HyperX. La desventaja, es que los switches no son intercambiables. Se pueden intercambiar si consigues un switch de otro teclado donador, si lo quieres con el led, si no, creo si sería posible ponerle switches sin led.
En mi caso yo escogí los switcher Cherry rojos, lineales. La respuesta es inmediata, y se sienten excelente.
¿Son ruidosos? Si, pero es algo que tienes que tomar en cuenta cuando compras un teclado mecánido, por lo mismo escogí los switches rojos, porque los azules que son la otra versión disponible, tienen un click extra justo antes de su activación, más el típico "clack" que hacen las teclas cuando golpean el fondo.
Se puede usar unos silenciadores que se instalan bajo la tecla, pero no se reduce tanto el ruido, sólo lo hace menos agudo. Además estos silenciadores suelen ser algo caros, y sólo son ligas pequeñas.
Las funciones LED son muy buenas. Cuando juego activo sólo las teclas que voy a utilizar, como WASDRFMI, y cuando estoy navegando o escribiendo uso la fija o el efecto respiración.
La conexion del cable es sólida, el cable es de excelente calidad.
Lo único que no me gustó, fue la calidad de las gomas antiderrapantes. Yo uso mi teclado elevado de la parte trasera, y una de las gomas de uno de los elevadores se desprendió y por poco lo perdí. Muy mal pegamento. Pero fuera de eso, la calidad general es infalible.
Es mi primera vez usando un tecladop tenkeyless (sin pad numerico a la derecha), y derrepente si me muevo como para meter números, pero la verdad es por pura costumbre. Creo que para alguien que no es un contador, o físico, matemático, o alguién que uso mucho los números, esto es extremadamente práctico. Es más fácil de transportar, te da más espacio en tu escritorio, y además tienes más espacio para acomodarlo según tu forma de juego. En mi caso yo lo giro 45° a la derecha mientras juego.

5.0 out of 5 stars No frills TKL goodness.
Color: RedSize: TenkeylessStyle: Cherry MX RedSet: KeyboardVerified PurchasePros:
- TKL design with minimal bezels result in a very compact keyboard. saves space and looks great
- genuine cherry switches
- subtle lighting (again, a preference thing but I much prefer simplistic styling and lights that don't go over the top like some other brands)
- exposed base. super easy to clean
- premium looking metallic base
- detachable cable
Cons:
- backlight bleed. this comes with cherry switches... I find backlight on logitech romer-g switches is better
- no software to do any advanced mappings you might want to do. third party softwares still work
I personally would've loved to get this with the brown switches but it's only available here with Reds.
