Good keyboard, no complaints.
By J. on Reviewed in the United States on June 3, 2015
Swt keyboard, I like the clickiness(word?) of the keyboard and it has just enough feedback where it's not resistant, but not so soft it feels mushy. There is a bit of play/negative tolerance in the keys before actuation points are hit, but pressing keys so fast during gaming, it is unnoticeable. You do feel it as you type, being as how during writing this review is the first time even acknowledging this is prevalent, I'd say it's a non-issue. I purchased two year insurance because of the number of people saying Kaihua switches being of lower quality. Even if this were the case, and they do function at 1/3 or even 1/2 the durability of a cherry mx. That's still over 30 million clicks. I'd still pay the money for it, wtf? If by chance, these loose significant responsiveness and consistency throughout the keys before the keys give out, that's another story. I haven't a clue. Hope this isn't the case, but it is still good and I've had it for a couple months. They are FKING loud though. I mean, wearing noise cancelling headphones I don't even notice it, but definitely loud. I personally love the sound, but do have to remind myself from tapping keys as hard as I am normally accustomed to with membrane keyboards which was a requirement. This thing isn't so bad if you only press to actuation, like you're supposed to instead of trying to donkey punch the keys through the board with my tips like a membrane to get accurate keypresses. But, I digress, buy it. I don't think the Chroma would have any durability or quality points above the tournament, I mean they use the same Kaihua switches, I suppose the board could be of lower quality, and the bottom

buyers beware not a great option if you are going to mash your keys like cookiezi on osu

it feels great and is really responsive, also it is relatively cheap and small compared to my blackwidow v2 yellow switches or my ornata destiny 2 i use as my daily driver which is perfect for bringing to school and carrying it around or leaving at home for my second temporary set up mainly for typing than gaming but after playing osu for an hour and mashing the z key it started to get unresponsive and it started to mess up my game. i had to rebind my keys to the x and c key instead of z and x because it started to have problems. I really like this keyboard but seeing how mashing it breaks the keys leaves a lot to be desired because ive used my blackwidow v2, ornata chroma, a laptop keyboard and a membrane keyboard from kengsinton and after using those for months mashing the z and x key on osu, the keys still work like charm. i blame kailh for there crappy keys. this is why razer switched to the better greetech which is a lot better quality. still a nice keyboard to type on after trying a lot but now that my z key is semi broken i think its a better idea to go with the v2 if i had 110 to spend instead of using 60 to buy this knowing this would happen. And it doesn't help that i just got this 2 days ago and started to use it today 7/20 then for it to start malfunctioning during an online game in just 2 hours. for now im going to stick with it because at this point i can deal with it. Update: i recently started to play osu with d and f and after 1 day of mashing it also started to the same with the z key but when i went back to z and x it was magically fixed but the problem is that now i use d and f not z and x. it doesnt make any sense because when i used z and x on a membrane keyboard an a laptop scissor switch keyboard mashing z and x for the past 7 months nothing happened and i used a mecha membrane from razer mashing z and x for 5 months and nothing happened. i used d and f on my blackwidow v2 for 3 days straight and again it worked like a charm in fact better than my other keyboards. id expect this older model black widow to not break in fact ive had friends who owned a black widow longer than me and theirs havent broke yet, ive only had this for 2 weeks and after a day the z key breaks then magically fixes and now my normal d remaping is screwed up after 2 days of mashing and clicking circles. do i look like im farming maps on dt come on ive seen much worse on pro players keyboards using the same keyboard so this shouldn't be happening to mine. i bet later my dd key would be magically fixed again.
