Pros: Aesthetics, that's it.

Cons: flimsy keys, loud even with brown key switches, small in size, awkwardly tall

Other Thoughts: I've tried returning this keyboard but my efforts have been in vain. I literally only typed with it once and could tell it was terrible. It fails in comparison to my Tt eSPORTS Poseidon Z.

Pros: Action on Cherry-blue MX keys is very good for touch typing. If you are looking for a reduced key keyboard with high quality key switches, this is one of the top ones. There are convenient key combos to swap left-control with caps-lock, and swap the windows and function keys. Placing the fn key in a convenient place is important because you will be using this key to get the F1...F12 keys and del. There is a light on the caps-lock key to indicate when you are in caps-lock mode. Large backspace/del placement at upper right corner is more convenient than some other reduced keyboards. Uses standard mini-USB cable, which should be easy to replace.

Cons: The small right shift key is taking some getting used to. I'm having trouble with hitting the arrow keys when I want to shift, which can be quite troublesome. I may get used to that with time.
Price is on the high end for reduced mechanical keyboards. Rosewill is often more value priced. However, this keyboard is an unusually solid build, with aluminum top, so the extra expense may be justified.

no USB hub

Other Thoughts: My fingers do not touch the faceplace in normal use, so I rather like the clean machined aluminum edges, unlike the other reviewer.

If you are looking for a reduced mechanical keyboard, and are willing to pay the price, this is one of the better ones, and worth it if you tend to type for hours on end. I have tried two others, and this is my favorite so far.

Pros: Very clean look even with stock keycaps. Its a properly executed 60% keyboard. The bottom right is slightly unusual but easy to get used to and makes pretty good sense when you think about it. Everything else i like about this board is just keyboard preference, if this type of board is what you're into you will like this one.

Cons: Major problem with this board is its bottom metal edge. The lines that look so nice also create a sharp edge for your thumb to rub against. I put tape along the edge to soften it but it seems like a huge oversight on rosewills part. not as important but another detracting point is the odd layout makes replacement key caps more difficult to source

Other Thoughts: I am on the fence between taking the board apart and spraying it with a rubberized material and filing the edges. I dont want to return it because i do like the key layout. I dont use a wrist pad, if you do you might not have the problem i do.
