Edit at the bottom.
I have only used this keyboard for a few days. Will update later if something goes funny with it.
The keyboard is made of decent plastic but I'm not going to lie, it does feel a little on the flimsy side. With that said, I don't plan to put a bowling ball on it so I'm not too worried about it hahahaha. It is probably the lightest keyboard I have ever owned to date which is why I gave it a 3 star rating for quality of material. Probably my only real complaint with the keyboard.
Coming from the Hyper X Elite 2 keyboard, I forgot how much I love the feeling of membrane keys. This keyboard is not too spongy, not too slow feeling, but just right. Some people who are looking to become a 360 no scope gaming pro might want to look elsewhere because it does feel a little slower than mechanical keys, but it works very well for my gaming needs. Some people will love it or hate it. I love the feeling of the keys on this keyboard. Another small note, the keyboard is on the quieter side which is great for my wife who works third shift. No more waking her up during the day while gaming.
The wrist rest that is included with it is a very sturdy feeling plastic material and does the job very well. It may be on the hard side for some, but I have been liking it more than I thought I would. Also, it is very easy to attach and detach.
The RGB lighting is very bright, but not quite as nice looking as I was hoping for. Don't get me wrong, it's far from bad, but just didn't look as nice as I was hoping. I'm not the biggest RGB fan so it's not too big of a issue for me but it could be for others. Also, options for the RGB lightning setting is a little on the low side.
The Roccat Swarm softwear that is used with the keyboard is easy to setup and use. My only complaint would be it doesn't have a ton of options for customization but that's okay for me. I'm simple anyway.
Overall, if you are in the market for a cheaper keyboard that looks good, feels good, and does the job, then I highly recommend this keyboard to anyone.
Edit - after using this keyboard for a few weeks now and more than I thought I would, there are some days after long use that the keys where your hands down a little bit after prolonged use.
