    Great for high-performance gaming, but at the same time, just a good keyboard overall.
    This keyboard is stellar. I prefer it by far to my previous main, a Corsair Cherry MX Red board (and all my other keyboards), and it's far more enjoyable to both game AND type on. The board is very minimal and aesthetically pleasing, which was something I was very hyped for due to the aforementioned keyboard being far too gamery and gimmicky appearance-wise. But the switches were definitely the standout feature for me, and I say that as someone who was very skeptical of them after recently trying Kailh's Box switch range and ending up quite disappointed (at least for use with gaming).I also love these switches the most compared to all my other switch types, be they Romer-G, Razer Purples, Cherry MX Browns/Blacks/Reds/Blues, or whatever else. They just feel amazing, and I've felt like my gaming has benefited quite a bit. Even my noob Osu! play has shown some improvement. There definitely seems to be a reduction in reaction time with jiggle strafing, or adjusting to enemy player movements, with a definite drop in delay with key spam too. I've been testing switches for the last few months in games to see what works best, so I feel confident in making that claim. I can't say whether they're better than MX Silvers though, as I've not tried those yet.RGB:The RGB LEDs are definitely better than other boards I've got, though I will say that it wasn't a big selling point for me. I don't care much for RGB, but if the board has it, I'll turn it on and leave it on a solid colour, unless there's a nifty effect like the fire ripple of Razer's, or the GMMK's various wave effects. The software was extremely basic though, and it took me a good bit of fiddling to figure out how to set my profile as a default on the board.There are also far fewer effects and means of customising lighting schemes when compared with the competition's software offerings. So consider this as a big negative if you're looking for sophisticated RGB lighting and profile management. It didn't bug out though, which I can't say the same for Logitech and Corsair's programs, as in my experience they've both bugged out some lights on their respective keyboards, or failed to save to device memory.Verdict:I highly recommend this keyboard, and I'm typing this just two days after receiving it. It's wow'ed me immensely. I would say that, unless you're a stickler for stiffer switches, or absolutely need to use tactile/clicky switches, or just lack the patience to adjust over a day or three to the more sensitive switches, you will almost certainly not be disappointed. I'm going to list some negatives below, but note that I can't sing this keyboard's praises enough.Small negatives:The switches are rather wobbly. You can put your finger on the key and easily move it around in a wide arc whilst bottomed out. If you were hoping for more stable keys like a lot of the newer Razer or box stemmed variants, you're going to be disappointed. HOWEVER, I would argue that it's less noticeable than with Cherry MX switches during use, because you don't bottom out the Kailh Speed Silvers as much, due to higher actuation points and stiffer springs. It's like typing on air :PAdditionally, the keyboard seems to buckle towards the center a bit when any force is applied, at least compared to some of the sturdier boards I have. But it was only noticeable when I replaced my keycaps with the HyperX Milk Pudding ones. Other than that it didn't really affect me.Lastly, the keycaps felt a bit harsh on my fingers, almost abrasive. I've seen mention online that they need some breaking in, but it was very noticeable after a couple hours, at which point I moved to the above-mentioned, smoother Milk Puddings that I bought along with the board. Kailh switches like those on this board do use standard Cherry stems, so changing keycaps is a simple affair with the myriad keycap sets available online. If you're unhappy with these that is.Anyhow, I hope this helps someone! I'll update if anything changes. But right now I'm 100% happy and will be using it as my main keyboard for the foreseeable future.

There definitely seems to be a reduction in reaction time with jiggle strafing, or adjusting to enemy player movements, with a definite drop in delay with key spam too. I've been testing switches for the last few months in games to see what works best, so I feel confident in making that claim. I can't say whether they're better than MX Silvers though, as I've not tried those yet.

    RGB:

    The RGB LEDs are definitely better than other boards I've got, though I will say that it wasn't a big selling point for me. I don't care much for RGB, but if the board has it, I'll turn it on and leave it on a solid colour, unless there's a nifty effect like the fire ripple of Razer's, or the GMMK's various wave effects. The software was extremely basic though, and it took me a good bit of fiddling to figure out how to set my profile as a default on the board.

    There are also far fewer effects and means of customising lighting schemes when compared with the competition's software offerings. So consider this as a big negative if you're looking for sophisticated RGB lighting and profile management. It didn't bug out though, which I can't say the same for Logitech and Corsair's programs, as in my experience they've both bugged out some lights on their respective keyboards, or failed to save to device memory.

    Verdict:

    I highly recommend this keyboard, and I'm typing this just two days after receiving it. It's wow'ed me immensely. I would say that, unless you're a stickler for stiffer switches, or absolutely need to use tactile/clicky switches, or just lack the patience to adjust over a day or three to the more sensitive switches, you will almost certainly not be disappointed. I'm going to list some negatives below, but note that I can't sing this keyboard's praises enough.

    Small negatives:

    The switches are rather wobbly. You can put your finger on the key and easily move it around in a wide arc whilst bottomed out. If you were hoping for more stable keys like a lot of the newer Razer or box stemmed variants, you're going to be disappointed. HOWEVER, I would argue that it's less noticeable than with Cherry MX switches during use, because you don't bottom out the Kailh Speed Silvers as much, due to higher actuation points and stiffer springs. It's like typing on air :P

    Additionally, the keyboard seems to buckle towards the center a bit when any force is applied, at least compared to some of the sturdier boards I have. But it was only noticeable when I replaced my keycaps with the HyperX Milk Pudding ones. Other than that it didn't really affect me.

    Lastly, the keycaps felt a bit harsh on my fingers, almost abrasive. I've seen mention online that they need some breaking in, but it was very noticeable after a couple hours, at which point I moved to the above-mentioned, smoother Milk Puddings that I bought along with the board. Kailh switches like those on this board do use standard Cherry stems, so changing keycaps is a simple affair with the myriad keycap sets available online. If you're unhappy with these that is.

    Anyhow, I hope this helps someone! I'll update if anything changes. But right now I'm 100% happy and will be using it as my main keyboard for the foreseeable future.

    EDIT (2/21/2021): a more recent update. i bought this keyboard around two months ago with heavy daily use and it's holding up well. a few things: keycaps attract grease / oil pretty easily, and it will show under certain lighting conditions. this is not a problem for me since i enjoy cleaning and maintaining my stuff, especially my gear for gaming, but it might be for you. i have noticed that the keys are a bit sensitive but nothing too major, but i still felt the need to note it. however, i have noticed a rattle coming from the keyboard when im typing, most likely because i opted for the blues as opposed to the reds. it doesnt bother me but it would bother other people so i felt the need to also add this. if you can pick this up for a good price, and you know nothing about mechanical keyboards this is a great one for beginners. will update at the end of the year.

    ORIGINAL REVIEW (BLUE SWITCHES): needed a new keyboard since the switches on my old one were on their way out, and i needed one that's backlit for gaming at night. decided to pick this one up since it's a bit more compact and had the cherry mx switches. the build quality is great and the keyboard has quite a bit of weight to it which reinforces this idea. key distance is great and it doesnt feel too compact, and my hands glide across it when typing.

    the lighting looks great as well, and comes with 6 (?) lighting presets to choose from. the only gripe i do have with this keyboard is the fact that the keycaps are certainly sub-par, which makes a bit of sense considering the price point they are sensitive to any kind of touch, especially the spacebar, which leads me to unintentionally hitting some keys while typing quickly. additionally, the keycaps themselves are quite small, which isn't an issue for me since i have smaller hands. but if you DO have bigger hands you should probably rethink this purchase. thankfully they are easily replaceable, but any future buyers should consider picking up a new set of keycaps if you care about that sort of thing.

    overall great product from hyperX, just work on your keycap game

    This was one of the first things I've had delivered for a gaming PC build, so while I haven't gamed with it yet which is why I bought it, just in using it I can tell that my opinion of it won't change unless it craps out somehow (in which case I'll update the review).

    Pros:
    -One of the more affordable options for this feature set that still has build quality (it's sturdy and has a nice weight)
    -I don't care much about LEDs hence why I went with this over the rainbow ones, but it's nice to have the option of one color lighting. The effects are pretty cool, the option of having the frequently used gamer keys of WASD-1234-etc lighting up is nice to have for gaming in a darker room.
    -Form factor. Has all the keys I want but none I don't. I have medium size hands and I can fairly easily reach the F1-F8 buttons without looking or fumbling for them.
    -Experience of typing overall is good. Keys are stable including the spacebar which goes down uniformly wherever you press it.
    -Good look. Nothing that screams GAMER too loudly.
    -Detachable braided cable. I like knowing I can replace it with need be, including if I ever want a longer one.

    Cons:
    -Although the cherry red keys are said to be the quieter option compared to blues, I'd still prefer something quieter. I think this is the first mechanical keyboard I've owned and I don't know why people like them so clicky (I don't need an audio que to know I've pressed down a button). Wish there were more quiet options on the market.
    -Braided cable should plug into the middle of the keyboard instead of being off the to the right like it is.. This can be less than ideal for some setups. Very small con though.

    Since I knew the keys wouldn't be that quiet when I bought it, the pros easily outweigh the cons making this a 5/5 keyboard that I would recommend.

    Este es mi primer teclado mecánico y es una chulada para el precio, los switches son bastante rápidos y sensibles, lo que los hace súper cómodos para trabajar y jugar, además yo tengo la versión sin la ñ sin embargo lo puedo usar perfectamente cambiando la configuración de Windows con presionar dos teclas rápidamente, 100% recomendado

    Es un teclado de calidad, sólido, pesado por su cuerpo de aluminió, lo cual es una ventaja. Y sobre todo barato para tener switches Cherry MX. Aunque nuevas versiones ya vienen con switches HyperX. La desventaja, es que los switches no son intercambiables. Se pueden intercambiar si consigues un switch de otro teclado donador, si lo quieres con el led, si no, creo si sería posible ponerle switches sin led.
    En mi caso yo escogí los switcher Cherry rojos, lineales. La respuesta es inmediata, y se sienten excelente.
    ¿Son ruidosos? Si, pero es algo que tienes que tomar en cuenta cuando compras un teclado mecánido, por lo mismo escogí los switches rojos, porque los azules que son la otra versión disponible, tienen un click extra justo antes de su activación, más el típico "clack" que hacen las teclas cuando golpean el fondo.
    Se puede usar unos silenciadores que se instalan bajo la tecla, pero no se reduce tanto el ruido, sólo lo hace menos agudo. Además estos silenciadores suelen ser algo caros, y sólo son ligas pequeñas.
    Las funciones LED son muy buenas. Cuando juego activo sólo las teclas que voy a utilizar, como WASDRFMI, y cuando estoy navegando o escribiendo uso la fija o el efecto respiración.
    La conexion del cable es sólida, el cable es de excelente calidad.
    Lo único que no me gustó, fue la calidad de las gomas antiderrapantes. Yo uso mi teclado elevado de la parte trasera, y una de las gomas de uno de los elevadores se desprendió y por poco lo perdí. Muy mal pegamento. Pero fuera de eso, la calidad general es infalible.
    Es mi primera vez usando un tecladop tenkeyless (sin pad numerico a la derecha), y derrepente si me muevo como para meter números, pero la verdad es por pura costumbre. Creo que para alguien que no es un contador, o físico, matemático, o alguién que uso mucho los números, esto es extremadamente práctico. Es más fácil de transportar, te da más espacio en tu escritorio, y además tienes más espacio para acomodarlo según tu forma de juego. En mi caso yo lo giro 45° a la derecha mientras juego.

    At first I felt like returning the keyboard because I just couldn't get used to it at first. I just kept making spelling mistakes and misclicking things. After a week of using the keyboard, I have gotten used to the keyboard and my typing speed has significantly increased when compared to my old membrane keyboard. The keyboard does not require you to press it all the way down which is great because you don't have to press so hard to input a character. I also recommend this keyboard to programmers as it feels some what great to code with this keyboard.

    This is a high build quality, great bang for the buck keyboard you should get if you are looking for a good Cherry MX Blue switch. The build quality is top notch, the lighting is perfect and doesn't bleed onto other keys, the lighting effects are also really good, you can have a solid static red colour, fps mode, or custom mode. The custom mode let's you pick what keys are lit. There are 2 other modes that I don't use tho. I prefer the static modes. The placement of the keys are right where you expect them to be. Not too big not too small with good spacing between them. There are no ugly logos on this keyboard like some other brand names. Small Hyper X logo on the space bar which looks good. There are also 4 different light levels. This is a 5 star keyboard which last for a very long time. Easy to clean. If you are a gamer I would get the Red or Brown Cherry MX cause the Blues can make your hands tired in very long game sessions. But for typing you cannot beat a Blue switch for positive feedback when you are typing, You know you hit the right key with the audible click and feel. I wish this keyboard came in a Brown switch, It does come in the Red switch which I will most likely buy for gaming since the actuation on the key presses is a lot lower. Overall one of the best bang for the buck keyboards you can buy right now.
