I've been heavily researching keyboards this week and while I've always had a full keyboard in years past I'm realizing that it would make more sense for me to go with a keyboard without the num pad keys and buy a separate USB num pad which I can put near my monitor when I need to use it. My keyboard tray on my desk is too cramped with my mouse. I don't know why I never thought of that before. lol
This keyboard SOUNDS really good (watching youtube videos). The spacebar is locked down very nicely. The key presses sound wonderful (not obnoxiously loud). The one possible negative is that the keycaps are not Double Shot PBT. You could replace the keycaps but you will lose the secondary functions written on some of the keys (like the insert button says its also thee print screen button. good luck finding keycaps with the same exact text on it). Also, replacing the keycaps will most likely change the sound of the keys. The spacebar might also be a non-standard size. I have to double check that.
EDIT: One of the reviewers says: "Spacebar is 6.25u not 6.5u like most keyboards.". So the spacebar is a non-standard, smaller size. If buying replaceable keycaps, keep that in mind.

The optical switch version sounds what keyboard enthusiasts would call "Thocky". Deeper, rich, keyboard sound. Nice.

I did so much research on keyboards this week. I was so close to creating my own keyboard. Buying a barebones keyboard, buying keycaps, and buying mechanical switches, and installing them all. I wasn't aware of optical switches. Then I started to read about their better latency vs mechanical and their better durability. I like the design of this keyboard. I can't wait to receive it. Thanks for sharing your experience!

with off the shelf keycap kits i've had to shove some saran wrap to get the spacebar level, but it still sticks on keypress sometimes.
