This keyboard is excellent to type on, has a noticeable key click, but its not *too* loud, since they are red switches. Blue switches are too loud in my opinion, especially when you are trying to talk to people through discord or something.
The materials used feel premium. It has minimal deck flex when "twisting" the board at its sides, and none while pressing down on the middle of the board. The keys themselves feel nice to the touch. The space bar is a little "hallow" sounding, but it isn't too noticeable in day to day use.
I am very pleased with this keyboard. I hope to use it for years to come.
The software is excellent and easy to use. lots of customization and looks well put together.
I like it very much! It's the first keyboard I've had in a very long time that has actual key switches. I like the illuminated keys, although I'm not really making full use of all the fancy lighting patterns that are available. It's taking me a little time to adjust to the keyboard since it has a lighter touch than my old keyboard. One thing I have noticed is that a key will sometimes actuate if I am just resting my fingers on the keys; you don't have to press down all the way for the key to register.
There is only one thing about the keyboard that bugs me a little; the top row (numbers and symbols) has the shifted and unshifted legends reversed from what you would expect them to be. Take a look at the screen shots for the product and you will see what I mean. I don't know why they did this, but it is only distracting if I look at the keys when I'm typing. Normally I remember when I need to press shift for a particular symbol.
RGB controls are built in, no software needed. Brushed black matte metal is lovely to touch. Design is clean and stylish. No ugly logos. Clicks are bouncy and responsive. Noise is what you'd expect from Gateron Red keys, this is not a silent keyboard. I love the noise. Does not have on board sound control or any additional ports, I needed neither of these things. Corded, which was also not an issue for me. Excellent price, excellent quality, no bloatware. I use this for work and for gaming. Very pleased. If your needs are similar to mine, highly recommended.
UPDATE: keyboard survived me accidentally dumping an entire cup of coffee on it, after pulling up the keys and cleaning with rubbing alcohol. impressed.

Las teclas excelentes, y el RGB se puede configurar de muchas maneras.
Contento con mi compra, solo acostumbrandome al tecleo, viniendo de una laptop si es bastante diferente.

Been using 2 months as of this writing.
Update: 5 months after purchase and the D key has worn away. I expect the rest of the WASD keys will follow. So eventually you'll probably want some replacement keycaps.
