I've never owned a mechanical board before this one - I get the strong impression I'm never going back. There's no mistaking the 'mechanical feel' - even compared to 'mecha-membrane'-types I've tried in the past, it's a night-and-day difference in sensation.TaeKeyboards has a great review of the Ajazz AK33 on Youtube - this board is based on that design (only the switches and keycaps are different). I'd recommend watching his video before you buy (as I did).The bump on the brown-black switches is mild - the overall sensation is of typing at an old-school POS machine, back when they still had mechanical interfaces (most of which had Cherry Black switches). Key stabilisation is... present, mostly not too bad on mine (though YMMV).The top plate has a pronounced ring to it - could take a bit of getting used to. Some O-rings might help - I haven't tried this yet. My first serious try at using a compact-layout keyboard - this 75% compact layout is going to take a little getting used to, but I'm already enjoying the extra mouse space.Finding double-shot keycaps on a board at this price is impressive. That said, I wish they'd used a more neutral legend - on the 'O' and 'B' keys particularly, as well as some of the symbols. Thankfully, being a mech, keycaps are replaceable (although for a compact 75% layout they can be tricky to find).A nice touch for gamers - you can press Fn+Win to lockout the Windows key, preventing you from accidentally openign the start menu mid-game.Overall, and especially considering that many mechanical boards cost five times the price of this one, I think the manufacturers can be proud of their achievements here. I would recommend it - especially if you've never tried a mechanical board before, it's worth it just to find out if it's something you're going to enjoy.
