After a long (and quik) journey across the Atlantic ocean, and a two day stop in the Italian tolls, the keyboard is finally here.
So I'm posting the my very firs (and not necessarily definitive) impressions.
First: the keyboard sounds very solid, with a pleasant low pitched sound when a key is pressed to the bottom. A waaaay better sound than the one that comes from the Black Widow i used in thr past week.
Second: The blue light is pleasant: is not the standard blue used on most (really too much) electronics in the last ten years, btw i still think that a red or amber baklighting is a better choice.
Third: I bought the brown switch version because I've already tried the blues, but with the idea of swapping them with a bunch of clears.
After a quick test I'm still not changed my mind, the blue's click sounds a bit fake, the brown's bump is definitely too weak for my taste, I'll go for clears and likely i will do some LED mod at the same time.
Fourth: The legends seem a bit changed since the photos previously seen: the lower and upper case symbols are now "printed" roughly with the same font (I'm not sure this is a good idea, but definitely not a biggie).
Fifth: the keyboard in general seem very well built, the key and case finish is very good, the legend are well centered on the keys, the wrist rest is nice and also well finished, the USB cable is thick but flexible enough, the USB hub is more than welcome.
Sixth: I still hate the stupid linear enter key, I will never get used to it, and I really hope that an ISO or Bigass backlit version will come in the near future, from Xarmor or whatever.
To summarize I got exactly what I've expected, for a price that is really too much for a person outside the US, but is absolutely reasonable if the shipment and import fees aren't taken in account.
Surely a definitely better spent amount money than the ones used to try the Black Widow.
As usual apologies for the very poor English, I'll upload some photos later...
