5 out of 5 eggsPretty Amazing

Pros: Nice feedback from keyboard, very tactile feel. I enjoy typing on this keyboard quite a bit. I purchased it mainly for my gaming rig, and it does quite well with gaming as well. The design is clean and ergonomics are nice. Not much else to say, it's a good, cheap mechanical keyboard.

Cons: Only thing I'd like from this keyboard is a number pad. I know there were other keyboards I could have gotten but at the time I figured I didn't need one. It's not really this keyboards fault, just my own lack of foresight. So seriously consider whether or not you can go without one. Otherwise I love this keyboard.

Other Thoughts: GET THIS. BECOME A TYPING LEGEND.

5 out of 5 eggsSimply pleased to own it.

Pros: Blue switches are great, it is a very minimal keyboard. It seems they got rid of all the tacky CM branding all over the keyboard, so that's good. It looks very clean and really its small form factor makes it great for LAN parties.

The build is outstanding, and it has great weight to it. The rubber finish to the main frame of the keyboard is great. The extra red key caps for WASD have a nice gripped flat texture to them. Price is right.

Cons: The routing section, as many have mentioned, is nearly useless. I've had my keyboard disconnect from the mini-usb port a couple of times already.

Other Thoughts: After fiddling with the braided cord, I finally managed to ram it into one of the routing holes, now it is there fit snug and won't budge even if I try to pull it off. They could work a little on the routing that's for sure, however, nothing to remove an egg over, and is still an amazing keyboard.

5 out of 5 eggsClick clack

Pros: 1. Full-size keys.
2. Standard layout, they just eliminated the number pad.
3. Standard mini-USB connector on the chassis. Cord's not integrated into the chassis, for easy replacement.
4. Nice cloth-wrapped USB cable.
5. CLICKITYCLICKCLICKCLICKITYCLICK!!!

Cons: Little on the heavy side, so probably not a great laptop/tablet accessory.

Other Thoughts: I cannot believe it took this long for someone to make a quality, numberpadless-but-otherwise-full size keyboard.

2 out of 5 eggsNot what I was expecting

Pros: Small, Heavy construction, well built. Red keys that come with it are cool. USB single cable is nice when compared to razers 5-1 plug-ins yuck....

Cons: I grossly underestimated how much i use the ten key. The keyboard they sent me does not depict the picture of this on newegg mean no cooler master branding, Which I thought was odd. I've had the Razer ultimate cherrymxblue and I think that it was a better keyboard. I no longer have it. But I will be sending this one back, and buying the razer 2013. It's just too bad that one is green. Don't get me wrong this keyboard works fine, but it's not nearly as responsive as my old razer and I'm pretty bummed about it. I was expecting better.

Other Thoughts: Get a 10key lol. I only like mxblues and this one just doesn't do it for me. I occasionally get a key that gets stuck :/

5 out of 5 eggsAwesome Keyboard for Gamer and Typist

Pros: -A joy to type on, keys respond very well and you get the nice sound of the mechanical clacking.
-No num pad leaves more room on the desk for your mouse
-Rubberized coating means no fingerprint smudges
-Simplistic design, no bells and whistles (no backlighting, abundance of shortcut keys, etc) however there are a few media keys for convenience

Cons: -None from what I can see, some people may see the lack of a numpad and backlighting to be a problem but it's not a big deal for me.

5 out of 5 eggsnice keyboard

Pros: This keyboard has a nice light feel without being soft. I have a model M at work and this keyboard has a lighter feel (less pressure required). Also nice that it's small and doesn't have a numeric keypad, which I never used anyway.

Cons: slight ringing from the keys.

I was afraid my wife would laugh at me when she saw that the spacebar is labeled "QuickFire"

Other Thoughts: Clicky!
