$60 for an aluminium body 65% prebuilt with double shot pbt keycaps is a pretty good deal.

Seeing the TKL version for $53 at Bestbuy. Might go for that one instead as I'm not quite ready to give up arrow keys.

They're significantly better to my tastes. More noticable tactile bump, activate higher in the keystroke which feels faster, and sound a whole lot nicer.

In my opinion it's one of the best switches you can get on a premade gaming keyboard. It took me making a $250+ custom keyboard to get something I genuinely liked more.

Oh nice. I used to hate cherry browns until I just tried a Anne 2 Pro with browns but it was a lot smoother. I hate reds and need some kinda bump but the blues are not it.

I've been gaming on speed yellows and even got used to typing with them and likes the shorter actuation point but felt I needed to used to typing a bit heavier.

I'm gonna have to check these out.

Highly recommend avoiding this. I bought this as a replacement for my old hyper x elite that failed, and I went through 2 failures in one month. There seems to be something with the wiring. The lights would go out or change randomly until eventually half the board lights (left half both times) went out, then it was bricked. They would only refund it the second time instead of replace and since I got it on sale, I couldn't buy another for the price.
After that I was determined to build my own keyboard and won't look back.

Bought this a few months back for right around this price when HyperX had some anniversary sales going on. Typing on it right now, it's been my daily. I have not had any issues with the lighting or anything else. I haven't installed their software, I just plugged it in and starting using it. I've been using various mechanical keyboards for a while, Akko etc. This one does have typical rattly stabilizers that you'd expect for an off the shelf brand, but nothing so awful that I couldn't use it. The aluminum build and overall quality feels so good that I didn't care that it's not the quietest board I have. The Aqua switches are decent, at first I thought the tactility was almost non-existent but it's there. Still going strong, I have never felt like it missed a keystroke or anything and I type a lot. Not the greatest keyboard ever, mainly the layout and build quality is why my other keyboards are sitting on the shelf. Get something hot swappable if you want to be able to change switches.

This still has arrows. Good call though, when I went to even smaller boards without arrow keys I realized I'd rather have them. So I don't go below 65% now.

Having tactile feedback for actuation is huge for me. Cherry Browns were alright but felt scratchy and the bump wasn't very pronounced, especially once the switches got worn in.

The Aquas in this feel almost like they tried to make a Speed Brown. The higher actuation point, the smoother motion, plus the snappier pop all result in a really enjoyable tactile switch that's also faster than your normal browns.

My custom keyboard has "Neapolitan Ice Cream" switches which have even snappier tactile feedback and I'm addicted. Everything else I use feels wrong now, but I was able to switch back to my HyperX board for a few days last week because I got the HyperX pudding keycaps on sale and wanted to try them.

I'm trying out Akko Jelly Blue switches in a build soon because they're similar to the Neapolitans which are unavailable currently. If you ever decide to make a custom keyboard, the Akko Jelly Blue and Akko Lavender Purple are both great entry level tactile switches to look at. Tecsee Sapphires are well liked also, and I believe they are the company that manufactures the Neapolitans for Cannonkeys, the company that sells those switches.

Good luck with your keyboard adventure!
