This is certainly a great deal on a solidly made mechanical KB, as long as you keep in mind:

• It has Kalih switches, not Cherry.
• Though the box shows it with a spectrum of colours, you can actually set it for only one colour at a time. Rosewill said they'd fix this with a software update, but as they've now stopped producing this model, that doesn't seem like that's going to happen.
• All the lighting profiles except purple are considered "gaming" profiles and disable the Windows key. So if you want to use the Windows key, you'll have to settle for purple lighting.
