It is an excellent mechanical keyboard at a fair price. One of the complaints is that the software can be buggy, but the remedy is to create & backup the presets file. The other is that the switches are not hot-swappable. However, this is a great budget mechanical keyboard & worth every penny plus some.

Cherry > gateron
Nice useful comment here. Typical: "I can name something better than what is listed on this deal". What @crescend said is correct. Nothing wrong with Gateron switches, they just aren't the overengineered and more expensive Cherry switches.
Like when you see a post for a 1920x1080 monitor, someone has to mention it's not 4k 120 Hz.
Getting real tired of this one-up behavior on Slickdeals.

I don't buy garbage 2nd rate items.
all things are relative deal wise no?

I mean if you are going after generic switches like this with a name brand with good build quality, 50 dollars isn't so bad, now is it?

logitech pro x / pro keyboards use proprietary switches and so did razer - all of which in the beginning were probably rebranded kalith or gaterons / equivalent.

Sure, if you are a keyboard snob, even cherry switches aren't going to be it for you, maybe optical, or even going to panda's or hybrid switches.

Omnipoints? Where do you draw the line?

GMMK Pro or Drop keyboard skeletons with your own special keycaps?

At the end of the day, it's price relative to the product.

If you are getting a keyboard with authetic cherry switches at this price point with RGB lightning, that's a great deal - please point me to it.

Thanks

My last Coolermaster keyboard's backlight got super dim after a few years. When I contacted their customer service they said it was normal and I should just buy a new one.

Good deal. I hardly see any $50 keyboards with desirable brand-name switches, let alone one with a numpad.

Not a fan of this keyboard. It's very light and the keys have a ping to them when you type. I would go for the Drop ENTR keyboard - which is on sale right now - at this price point over this one any day.
