Pros: Affordable when on sale. Kailh switches feel more or less the same as Cherry ones, I cannot tell the difference. Nice backlight, solid feeling.
Cons: Quality control is very lacking. I took a chance on one of these for a work keyboard and noticed the "s" key would sometimes double register or not register at all. So its straight back to Newegg for this one, and unfortunately the return shipping isn't cheap for such a big box. The feel of the keys is not that different so it would be good if it worked, but I now have doubts about the longevity of the switches if some are bad out of the box. I'm going to stick with Cherries from now on. Also when it's not on sale its basically the same price as some of the cheaper Cherry keyboards, so there's no point in getting this one unless it's on sale (it was 60$ after rebate when I got it).
Overall Review: An FAQ on Kailh switches: Cherry's patent on their switches expired recently, allowing companies to come out with cheap clones. Kailh is the one used on this board. They feel alright compared to Cherries but obviously quality and longevity is not as good. If you want to take a risk, go for it but for that much money you might as well get real Cherry switches. They're not much more expensive.
