Sure, it has an ugly gamer look, but at least they're trying to explore new possibilities for features, like the accessory mounting rail with a macro pad, modular number pad, and increased water resistance (the plate has little bits that extend upwards to cover the top and sides of the switches, making it harder for water to get in).

Seems silly to think everyone ought to dislike something that strives to make actual functional improvements over the norm just because it has an aesthetic that isn't to your tastes.

It looks mostly like a MS SideWinder X6 knockoff mixed with typical ugly gaming keyboard. Detachable macro pad seems interesting, though.

No, this is what a steaming pile of **** looks like:

And yes, it's rubber dome. Which they try to push as a selling point.

"However, even though I was born in the Mesozoic, I do know what anyone who wants to reach out to young people should say: Billionaires took your money. They took your chance to buy a home. They took your chance at a good education. They stole your opportunities. Billionaires took the things you want in life. If you really want those things, you have to take them back.
That's the message. That's the whole message. Say that every day, not just to reach America's frustrated young white men, but people of every age, race, and gender.
Late-stage capitalism is a wealth-concentration engine, focused on vacuuming up every dollar and putting it in as few hands as possible. Republicans are helping that vacuum suck.
How does a tiny fraction of the population get away with this? They do it by dividing the other 99% of Americans against themselves."
