I wouldn't test that too much.


Someone pointed out that http://www.ebay.com/itm/252579692559 appears to be the same product, only $36.

Does it really cost that much more to use decent legends?

There are far too many boards that use this font. No idea why.

I think it may cost quite some to have large normal legend on translucent key caps for RGB purpose. It's already fortunate they're not using Comic Sans.

I am a fan of 75% keyboards.
The thing that I found an eyesore is their top function keys role, misalignment and it's like missing teeth, making the layout look really weird. The builder wants this keyboard to be different but he is probably not one of us keyboard enthusiasts, it's just a market for these Chinese manufacturers to make money most of the time, and we already know the few sensible ones.
What kind of domestic users need waterproof keyboards? None. I much prefer enthusiasts driven projects than these stupid commercial ideas.

Buy one for that one friend who spills coffee or pop on his keyboard often.
