Pros: Good solid feel.
Very quiet.

Cons: Spacebar failed after about a week of use.

Other Thoughts: I would probably not recommend this keyboard.

Pros: -Keyboard has a nice, solid feel
-Quieter than blues, and I like them almost as much
-Macros are handy, and easy to program
-Picked it up for a steal on sale

Cons: I keep hitting the MR key when I'm trying to go for Escape

Other Thoughts: Picked this up primarily for work, where I do a lot of typing.

Pros: Boy do I love me them blacks!!!!

Cons: MUH BACKLIGHT!!!

Other Thoughts: 8/8

Pros: •Solid construction
•Spartan design
•Braided usb cable with integrated cable routing
•Solid Cherry MX Black switches
•Great layout and macros keys are out of the way

Cons: •No backlit LED lighting (which could be a positive for some)

Other Thoughts: So far I am happy with the keyboard and will be breaking it in the next several weeks. Thus far the typing experience has been solid with the MX Black switches. Love the "smooth" feeling of the key stroke. I also own a Cherry MX Blue Logitech 710 mechanical keyboard and the Black switches of the Cougar keyboard definitely changed the character of the typing experience. I recently returned a Brown switch keyboard. For me, the Blue (for pure typing if noise isn't a concern) and Black (for a "smooth" and "buttery" key stroke feel) switches are preferred. For weaker fingers, the Black switches will require some getting use to as the actuation force is high (but I like this).
