Like others have said, I got one on the last sale. The switches are super touchy. If you are a lazy typer at all, you better replace the switches. I use mine mainly for gaming, but I had to put the extra clicky switches in that they give you around my WSAD keys. If you touch the other keys at all it will count as an input. You learn just how lazy you can get with key presses. Great keyboard but those silvers are insane. It took a few weeks to get in tune with this compared to my old Logitech non mechanical.

Also note from a gamer perspective, the keys seem to sit kind of high. Also not a fan of the ESC button. They put it far away and some games you use it a bunch.

Quote from TheSam :
What's difference between z12 and this
The biggest difference is that this is a hot-swappable mechanical keyboard and z12 is membrane. You can remove the switches and key caps easily and put new in if you don't like the feel or want to try something different.

Quote from Redmont :
The LED backlighting does stay on after you turn off the computer
I'm guessing you have your keyboard plugged into a USB3 (blue) port. That is a feature of USB3 and would light up any backlit keyboard. You would need to disable it in your BIOS or just switch to a different USB port if you have an older one available.

Is there an equivalent to the mx-cherry brown switches in terms of sensitivity/tactile?

I bought this 2 months ago, and it is my first mechanical keyboard. I use it for typing and it still takes a lot of time to get used to the extremely short travel distance.

If you happen to rest your fingers on the keys, you will have a lot of random characters unless you replace those keys with clicky switches.

If the switches are too light for you but you like linears I highly recommend the Gateron Pro milky yellows. Very smooth, nice feel for both gaming and typing, sound way better than other budget switches, and somehow one of the cheapest options out there.

I ordered one on Amazon the last time around d and got 5 in the mail instead of the 1 I ordered. It's funny seeing my old parents with these keyboards flashing RGB.

Don't think with this model. It's hotswap though, so you could get a set of box browns for it, which are cheaper and a full notch better than cherry browns.

Quote from JollyReward8938 :
Clicky switches (speed bronze) are available for $40

If you work in an office, skip the browns and get the silvers. Silver is MUCH quieter.
