    Yup, it's a fuckin' keyboard not some fashion designer brand.  Does that II mean they already named a previous model like this?   :s

    I've never been interested in e-sports but its nice to see ads/reviews for something other than console controllers for the PC. It was beginning to seem like the master race was dead. Whenever I open Steam I think I entered the Twilight Zone with them trying to sell me controllers even in games made for the vastly superior KBM controls. And half the comments on real games being made seem like they are from people either questioning if the game supports uncivilized controllers, or demanding it support them.

    It's an 'okay' product for the pricepoint.
    - no macro or media keys/volume controls
    - USB passthrough or additional ports?
    -Board mounted or plate mounted switches?

    The switches are interesting, true enough. Probably the main point of interest for me with this board.

    While RGB isn't necessary, having the option to change the color of the backlight should almost be a baseline option for any new keyboards.
    - No, not looking for some rainbow/spectrum feature, just the ability to set the backlight to something other than red.

    Where is the TKL (tenkeyless) option?

    Would love to see a standardized PBT keycap set on this.
    - At least the keyboard uses a standard row1 which makes purchasing replacement caps fairly easy.
    The font on the caps isn't over-the-top/flashy (amen to that).

    I'm all about seeing new tech and new hardware from more and more manufacturers. I really am. I just would like to see them start out with something at or above the same level as the other major players.

    They have a name/brand going for them, that's for sure.
