This is my second attempt at purchasing a mechanical keyboard. The first turned out to be Chinese junk. This second is turning out to be Chinese non-junk. Cool. Form factor is great; doesn't look quite as neat as a Pok3r or HHKB, but for $40 it looks about as neat as an Apple product, so I'll call that well designed.I have only had it out of the box for about 30 minutes and this is the first real typing I've done on it.I thought I ordered it with blue switches, but it came with blacks. Might exchange it, haven't decided. These are very heavy blacks too. Not Cherry, OUTEMU. Feels like 100g actuation. Probably not. Probably 70 though.The keycaps are quite nice feeling, edges aren't chamfered or rolled, but the material is pretty soft to the touch and no sharp edges. The font is pretty clean (bank gothic I think?) and it's grey on white (kind of like new apple keyboards). I got one with silver top and white bottom, and the aluminum top I suspect is anodized plastic. It is relatively heavy, so maybe there is a mounting plate, I haven't opened it up yet.The stabilizers are cherry style, no wire bars, which I know some don't like, but in cheap boards, the wire stabilizers are often crap design. This is safer when on such a low budget.As for complaints, I think the arrow cluster could have been tucked all the way under the right shift and the 4 key cluster at the top right could be moved left adjacent to backspace and backslash. This would take away the space for the Magicforce engraving above the arrows, but if they added 3 keys to fill that space (one above up arrow, and two above right arrow) then home/end or volume or something could live there. Would have been a better design choice for a 65% keyboard imo. No need for this empty space.The other complaint is for the 5th row number/F keys. They look like they default to F1-12 but really they are number keys and the F is on the FN layer. keycaps are printed in a confusing way. All of the other sub-functions are printed smaller and below the main function. The exception in this row is escape which is printed at the top, and defaults to ESC, but the ` and ~ are accessed with FN but printed below ESC on the cap. Del could have been an FN on backspace and a couple of other layout flaws that are simply not optimized keep this from being a holy grail keyboard (especially in this price range).Also missing from this model are the dip switches on the bottom (to disable windows key, swap CAPS and L CTRL, and swap WIN with FN). I don't see why these were not included on this model. A way to disable the WIN key is vital for any keyboard marketed as "Gaming" (which this one is, according to the title here). Is it worth $20 extra for the switches and LEDs? If you want LEDs then sure, but paying $20 for the switches seems like poor value.Conclusion: For $40 this is a fantastic keyboard, make sure you order the color switches you want, the way these are listed is confusing. Overall this is 8/10, would recommend.
