Full review to follow in a week or so, my first experience with Gateron reds also.

Awesome LEG! I was hoping that someone would review it. Mine should be arrive in 2 to 3 days, with Gateron Black switches (50g).
How's your overall verdict regarding the MXX RGB? To me personally, for what it offers at that price point, it's a major steal of a mechanical keyboard.
Rantopad MXX RGB (Gateron Black, Red, Blue and Brown)
- RGB backlighting
- Gateron switches (4 different options)
- Brushed aluminium top plate with plastic bottom
- Awesome USB cable connection
- Detachable cable
- Standard bottom row (Do you smell that Doubleshot PBTs coming in to replace the stock keycaps? XD)
- Good typing angle
For $74.95. Great deal don't you think?
Thanks for reviewing them buddy!

It's a great deal based on what I have seen so far but some initial thoughts.
Manual is all in Chinese and figuring out how to use all the backlighting is a bit tough
FN+F10 changes between white LEDS or RGB mode
FN+ F11 changes lighting modes
FN + F12 changes the reactive mode when you push keys
FN+ Up/DOwn changes the speed of said lighting effect.
No Keyboard feet may be a deal breaker for some.
STANDARD KEYCAP SIZING!! THank you Rantopad!! (Have Doubleshot PBT backlit caps I will be using)
Stock cable is nice however should it ever break replacing it will be tough due to the notches used on it, you could just use any USB cable but it won't sit as snugly of course.
Asides from that still forming opinions but for those who want RGB it's a cheaper option than Razer/Corsair/Logitech while having a much smaller footprint at a much better price (And honestly I'd recommend a Walmart rubberdome over Razer).
LMK what you think about yours when you get/use it I always love hearing other peoples thoughts.
P.S on a SIde note the Gateron Reds are....worlds above the Cherry Reds...enough so I used to hate Reds but I like these.
