Great switches, great construction, inexpensive
The MX blue (I assume clones) in this are top notch, far exceing what I expected. They've very loud though, the space bar especially. Compared to other TKL's I've found, this is exceedingly nice to type on. The backligting, while blue only, can easily be turned off and has multiple levels. The inclusion of volume and media functions on the fn row is nice, but even better there's a windows lock key. Strangely, the arrow keys have WASD printed (but not illuminted) on them, and the WASD keys have the arrow keys on them, with the arrows not illuminted. Further, there's a windows key lock fn. Clearly this board targets gamers. I have yet to look and see if the arrow key oddity is because it's possible to get them to act as a WASD cluster.The font is pretty 'Gamer-y' as well, but clearly readable.Coming from someone who uses a custom built split mechanical keyboard (ergodone) every day, this keyboard is very nice. Clearly be aware it is ten-key less, if that's relevant to you. But, if you need the desk space or just want a smaller board, this board is great.

Good value for the money, but improvement needed
The first unit I received had an issue with the delete key, where it would get stuck in the "down" position and it would take me several seconds to manually get it loose. This was nothing short of catastrophic on several occasions in a work environment. Cleaning under the keycap didn't fix the issue, but the replacement unit they sent me worked perfectly (from a mechanical standpoint).To briefly summarize, I offer the following:Pros:--Backlight brightness is excellent for the primary key functions--Decent amount of travel and "clickiness"--Stable connectivity issues even when connected with a 4-in 2-out USB switching hub--Keycaps are easily removable for cleaningCons (see photo):--No activation light on the CapsLock key. (-0.5 stars)--Secondary key functions (i.e.; the FN functions, like volume control, play, pause, stop, etc on the F1-F12 keys, and arrows on W/A/S/D) are NOT backlit. They are, in fact, very difficult to see under normal lighting conditions, let alone low light. (-0.5 stars)--This might sound a little petty, especially considering it's pictured in the listing, but the font verges on cringeworthy. (Because this is an issue of personal taste, not overall function, I won't penalize the final star rating for this).--Again, an issue of personal taste, but the plastic feels somewhat cheap to me, even though there hasn't been any structural issues with it thus far. Because I'm a ThinkPad guy, and I know I'm spoiled when it comes to keyboards, I'm not penalizing the star rating for this.At around $30, it's the best value in its class. However, the backlight issue and lack of an indicator light for CapsLock are severe drawbacks, even taking price into consideration. For that reason, I have given it 4 Stars overall.If you can live with those issues, or only have $30 to spend, this is probably the keyboard for you. If not, you'd probably be better served by a more expensive alternative.

its faster to type and sounds loud
The media could not be loaded. i would recommend this because its performance is really good and the keyboard is big and the noise is kinda quiet when u click it a little if u click all the way sound kinda loud

Very good bang for the buck
I really like this keyboard. There are a couple chips on the key caps, but they're on the bottom so completely unnoticeable. Hopefully this keyboard gives me a couple good years of use. The blue key switches, are very very close to Cherry MX Blues. They're slightly more stiff, and more loud, but that's just what I wanted to be honest. I use MX Browns at work, so using these clone blues give me a very satisfying experience when I'm working from home. These keys can be used for gaming, but I do not recommend blue key caps for gaming, this same company actually makes brown switch keyboards for slightly more. They may be very good for gaming, just warning they may be too loud for others to hear you. They are delightful for typing however. My type speed is down from a membrane keyboard, but that's probably because the key travel is more. But it is very delightful to type on. I can't believe they can deliver such a close replica(maybe even better) of MX Blues for so cheap.

Great Keyboard
This has proven to be a great keyboard. It is just the right size, and the backlight shines through the keys so it's usable with the room lights turned off. The solid clicking sound of the keys lets you know that the key was depressed as expected. The backlight is supposed to be dimmable, but I haven't figured that out yet. A great all-around bargain that I am very pleased with. Highly recommended.

Really great board for the price! Bought to try out blue switches.
I'm really enjoying this board. I was wanting to buy a high end board, but wasn't sure what kind of switches I wanted to get, and I had never tried blue switches before. So I bought this board for the purpose of testing out blue switches.It has outemu blue switches, and it's really a nice little board for the price. Giving 4 stars because you get what you pay for in this board. I really like it, but it's definitely not of the greatest quality when compared to other boards on the market. This is definitely the best keyboard for this price point though. Initially I had some issues with the spacebar. I would press it down and then it would like get stuck and not fully pop back up and would make the tactile click the next time you pressed it. I took the spacebar off and put it back on, and so far I guess it just needed to be repositioned cuz i haven't had the problem since.I would definitely recommend this board if you're getting into keyboards and want to try out a decent little board to try out some blue switches. Definitely a great value for the price. Definitely one of the cheapest mechanical keyboards you're going to find.

Excelente producto
Es uno de los mejores productos a los que he tenido acceso gracias a Amazon. La calidad del producto es sorprendetemente bueno para el costo. La retroalimentacion al pulsar cada tecla es muy satisfatoria seguida del audible clic de las teclas mecanicas cherry blue. La luces solo vienen en un color, azul, pero es mas que suficiente para ver el teclado en un cuarto oscuro. El producto tuvo un retrazo en la audana ya que estos teclados se fabrican en los estados unidos, aun asi llego mucho antes del tiempo de retraso previsto. De ahora en adelante todos mis teclados seran EagleTec.

Buen teclado pero sonido molesto debido a la base
El teclado es bastante bueno y su sonido clicky es muy satisfactorio pero lo unico malo es que la base del teclado genera un ruido metalico al momento de dar una pulsación en las teclas que a mi me parece algo molesto
