Some of the negatives of this board: cheap pad printed ABS keycaps, cherry switches (yes this is a drawback compared to many modern switches believe it or not), solder board, and not so great costar stabilizers. I've actually owned this board in the past.
I personally also advise to steer clear from the big names as well like Logitech, Razer, Corsair, Steelseries, etc.
Personally, I'd recommend looking at Akko, keychron, gmmk, epomaker, etc. Akko is probably my budget brand of choice for the time being, but the others are good options too. Hot-swappable is always a nice option for anyone not super into tinkering. It gives you the option to change your switches easily without soldering.

lots more options out there for sure. too bad this thing wont die
After my K740 died a few months ago my search failed and I defaulted to a Cherry Stream model which was the closest I was able to find. It's OK but the size\spacing of the keys is just different enough from the K740 that I'm hitting a lot of misses which is frustrating.
Has anyone found a good reasonably equivalent wired full-size with number pad replacement for the K740?
Thanks!

Cooler master has a few boards with low-profile switches. I think you might want to take a look at them: https://www.coolermaste

Thanks for the link. I'll go see what they have.
I prefer my VA108 at home over the Rosewill and that can be found for cheaper than the DAS
