Pros: plug and play, got it on sale for 70bucks , for a mechanical keyboard mx cherry brown this is a steal, keep an Eye out for sales!

Cons: when it is updating the soft ware do not turn your computer off!!, you will make the keyboard unusable

Pros: Looks nice.

Cons: So, bought this 32 days ago. 3-4 times it has made my computer unresponsive to using any keyboard that I connect(I have a wireless one also that does not work when this happens). I have to disconnect and reboot the computer(rebooting does not correct this). Once rebooted I can reconnect the keyboard and it will work for up to a week before this occurs again. The most recent time that it happened my browser was scrolling up/down, zooming in/out and jumping between pages. The issues started with the keyboard and only happens with this keyboard connected. I have a $3k build, so there isn't a lack of quality in my system.

I'm finally frustrated enough to get an RMA and it happens to be 32 days since purchase. I guess I bought a $130 paper weight.

Other Thoughts: Do yourself a favor...spend the extra cash and get something of better quality. Live and learn I guess.

Pros: -No need to download drivers

Cons: -none @ this price range $80ish

Other Thoughts: This is my 1st mechanical keyboard and I didn't know what to expect when getting it as the only other keyboard I have tried was the corsair K70 Cherry mx reds.

Since the switches were cherry mx black it almost felt like a membrane keyboard so I felt right at home compared to trying it cherry mx reds. I definitely noticed a difference in response time and because of that the keyboard is able to determine very minute difference in pressure making it so I can do commands such as alt+tab faster.

Soundwise my 5 140mm fans going at full blast pretty much overshadows this in noise so I don't really notice it that much. Also I use headphones so that also explains why I don't really hear the sound.

Pros: Gorgeous
Highly functional
Plug and play, no driver downloads or installs
Excellent fit and finish for an aluminum inset in plastics design
The adjustable hand rest is stable and comfortable

Cons: The beautiful rainbows that I see always emanating from it 'do not' end at a pot of gold.

Other Thoughts: Cherry mx blacks are a bit firm at first but like a steinway piano, once you are familiar with it, the weight adds confidence to the keystroke. I waited until this came up in a sale on newegg. Having used it, I kinda wish i just got it months ago..

Pros: Great, fast response! Consistent pressure to press keys all around. Isn't too loud, and the silver look under the keys is really appealing to the eye. I also like that Cougar didn't overdo the lights; they put lights only where they should be which is great!

Cons: The only thing I might think twice about is the price. However, I'll take it that Cougar isn't the leading keyboard manufacturer in the industry, so it has to raise its prices to stay competitive.
