Just curious what you all think--particularly of the switches!

I tried it at Worst Buy.  Reminds me of Oring Cherry MX Browns.

I personally absolutely loathe the "gamer" design of the keyboard. I prefer simpler designs. Oh and the keycaps looks atrocious. The switches however have piqued my interest and I really wish to try one out however since I live in the land of kangaroos, there's no where to try them out. :( I like browns so I think the switches may be my cup of tea but the design............................ :mad:

It's got to be the ugliest keyboard I have ever seen.
Can we get them to build the Alps ten feet higher and get Cherry to pay for it?

I have this keyboard.

Kiddie design aside (1/10), the backlighting is the best designed of any RGB keyboard on the market.  Legends are right in the center and illuminated properly, much like backlit membranes.
ABSOLUTELY ZERO BACKLIGHT BLEED UNDER THE KEYS.  MUCH better than the Corsair RGB offerings.  The only 'bleed' is a fully expected glow from reflections, and there's absolutely no way to stop that.
10/10 for the backlighting look.
Keyboard feel is like a mechanical membrane without the plasticky feel.  Makes reaction from presses noticably faster than a Cherry MX.  VERY noticeable when you try to speed reload in a call of duty game. (8/10)
Typing feel for typing letters and office work...better than a membrane, worse than a Cherry MX tactile (Brown, etc).

Software? 1/10.
Keyboard resets to default green color if you exit the LGS (WHY oh WHY?).  It has full ability to retain current RGB settings and USE them without LGS running.
Workaround is to END TASK on Lcore.exe if you want to close LGS, the keyboard keeps the color settings (reactive mode won't work).
it will even keep color cycling and wave movement after doing this.

Honestly feels like a Star Trek The Next Generation keyboard in looks.
Recommended for gaming, recommended for backlighting actually done well, NOT recommended for the stupid logo over WASD, when you are an ESDF player.

if Ducky made one of these.......SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!

The only thing about it that interests me are the evenly backlit keyswitch and no light spills onto the backing plate, but now Kailh's got the same design too, which means we'll see more keyboards with evenly backlit keys and no back-light bleed under the keys coming, and some will have much more appealing design and form-factor (TKL, for example).

I tried one at Best Buy as well. Absolutely HATED the feel of the switches. Nothing distinguishing about them at all. They felt like a new-ish rubber dome board at best, a flimsy tactil Alps rip-off at worst.

Would not purchase, nor recommend.
