I have now been using this keyboard for a little over 1 week. So far so good.
My previous keyboard was a HyperX Alloy Elite with blue switches so this keyboard is a bit of a downgrade. Even though this is a full-size keyboard. it takes up less space on my desk compared to my old one which is a plus. The TTC browns have been a pleasure to use although I did have to get used to them as I was coming from a Cherry MX Blue switch. The keys have a high actuation point so there is a faster responsiveness than what I had previously. The keys also feel much lighter. When I first received the keyboard, I had to double-check the packaging to make sure I didn't get send a red switch because at first it was very difficult to feel the tactile feedback. However, after typing on the keyboard for a while I can feel it just fine.
Overall pros and cons:
Pros:
1. Compact but full-size
2. No fancy bells and whistles
3. Backlighting is fantastic
4. Very sturdy with quality construction and materials
5. Keys are lightweight with a nice feel to them. Reminds me of the Dell keyboards so many of us used back around 2000-2010 era. The design itself is reminicent.
Cons:
1. Wish it came with a wrist wrest - I can't be too upset given the price point but I will definitely need a wrist wrest sooner than later
2. This keyboard might be better for gaming than typing (it is marketed as a gaming keyboard) but for those of you who are strictly typists and not doing any gaming, you might look for a slightly heavier brown switch or look towards to TTC Blue switch model.
3. Even though these are TTC Browns there is still a small, subtle, audible click while typing which I find to be fantastic. To me personally, it's a great balance that I wasn't expecting. Just forwarning.
4. The keyboard doesn't have an onboard memory. If you take the keyboard from one computer to the next, it will not remember the lighting settings. It is rather easy to change the lighting, as all you need to do is hold FN & select F12. Takes about 5 seconds.
