Highlights: The only things I would have liked to know about beforehand was that, for one, the switches, and literally by extension the keys, are raised higher than any other keyboard I've tried. You have to arch your wrist a bit higher than you're used to, but it comes with a little magnetic palm rest thing that raises your hands up a bit. I've never used one of those things in all my days but I do with this keyboard. I don't like that it takes up more valuable desktop real estate, though. Secondly, there's also a little knob at the top right that switches between lighting modes but it doubles as a volume dial which feels so good to use compared to a static press-and-hold volume up/down key. It's rubbery and tensioned perfectly so you feel like you're turning an analog dial click by click. I like it a lot and had no idea I even needed it in my life. There are little USB-port dials and once I inevitably break this keyboard, I'm getting one. What Others Say: I watched a couple of review vids on it and these two guys were saying that it took an hour or two to get used to but if you can type well, it works just fine right out of the box. Both of the dudes seemed like techy boomers but who knows. Maybe they just never learned to type. The Mechanical Keys: It makes a ruckus when you're typing and I LIKE THAT. You might not, but you'd be morally and spiritually in the wrong. The Finish on the Keys: I'm hesitant to write a review this early into owning it because the borders around all of the keys are made of shiny silver plastic. Experience says that this will flake away with time. With things as they are now, though, I love it. I'd take shiny over RGB. The lighting: It's cool. They aren't true RGB but they're off-shades of colors, not just like extra pure red, extra pure blue, extra pure orange. They're softer shades. The topaz blue is really pretty. That being said, I'm an old man of 35 and RGB has for years seemed like something kiddos would want. I live alone for the first time in my life and I have to admit, I set the lights to radiate out from whichever key I press, like ripples in a wave, and I absolutely love it.
