Really wish China would slow down on the keyboards with blue switches and give the masses some browns. This does look like a decent deal if you're in the market for a mechanical keyboard and don't mind the great to type on but terrible to listen to blues..
I would guarantee you wouldn't want this at work.

Just for your future reference, here are a few common key types:
Blue: Clicky, usually loud switches with strong tacitility. (In other words, before the keyswitch bottoms out, you can feel a some more resistance, which gives out right before you do bottom out)
Brown: More quiet switches with a mostly linear profile, but a very small "bump" that gives them a slightly tacitile feel.
Red: Fairly quiet switches without a tacitile bump.

Some keyboards have different types, but these are the most common that you'll see, especially from relatively cheap mechanical boards.
Personally, I generally like the feel of Browns, but they're not for everybody. Blues feel really great but if you use them at work be prepared for some complaints about the noise.
I agree. If these were browns it'd be an instant sale for me for work. I use blues at home and I don't dare take it to work unless I want the keyboard busted over my head...lol

I picked this deal up the last time it came up. I've never had a mechanical keyboard before and wanted to try it out. Although i would prefer probably brown switches, I'm not disappointed by blue.

It is very loud and clicky (as expected) but you'll get over it quickly after your friends joke about the noise over hearing it on discord everyday lol

I bought one from eBay at one point and after a month the enter key stopped working. Contacted the customer support and they won't cover eBay sales. (It was new in box from a retailer) so just be ware of that

Is the key good at work? Can't figure out the difference between Blue Switches or browns.
