2-Port USB 3.0 SuperSpeed hub - Up to 5Gb/s, 10X the speed of USB 2.0
Pros: Mechanical action allows smooth and quick typing.
Keys are mounted nicely: not too stiff, not too loose.
Aluminum faceplate is always cool to the touch.
Volume knob is a tactile and aesthetic joy.
Cons: You'll have to relearn some typing habits, particularly habits about bottoming out the keys. Typing becomes a bit more like playing the piano: you have to learn not to strike the keys with your full force on every stroke.
Overall Review: Typing on the ubiquitous rubber dome keyboards is annoying after using this. The sudden give of rubber dome designs makes your finger joints feel odd once you grow accustomed to the smooth continuous traverse of the mechanical keys.
The MX Browns are more clicky than a rubber dome keyboard, but if you're looking for that satisfying typewriter sound, it is the MX blue switches that you want.
