It's been around this price off and on for the holidays and it's still a great deal. The version with brown switches is the same price if you prefer those. I picked up a brown switch used acceptable for $20 and it's a ridiculousness good quality board for that price. Very solid/heavy feeling. Very quiet to type on with the gasket and foam layers. Getting VIA working did take a little bit of playing with. Their instructions don't mention it but I had to download the json keyboard definition file and upload it in VIA before it would recognize the keyboard. Not sure if that is a temporary thing or why they don't mention it but I had to do it on two different computers. I haven't really done much with VIA yet but it does have some very interesting looking features.

Edit only thing it doesn't have going for it is not hot swappable.

No hot-swap.

I agree, the overall feel and the 'Thock' sound beats $50+ mechanical keyboards. I don't need to put in a padded membrane into it. Have two browns now.

GMMK has a more premium build but the key taps sound worse without modifications. I have one too (with orange 'ASCEND') escape key but considering a return.

Oh really? I have that one (white compact) and i love it. The typing experience is incredible, I just wish it had arrow keys.

I purchased the brown key version of the keyboard a month ago and I love it. The only suggestion is to update the firmware as mine had some issues with multimedia keys
Otherwise an awesome mechanical keyboard

Help me out. I realize the color switches probably give the answer, but which keyboard would be the quietest? My teenage son wants a very quiet gaming keyboard for the holidays and I'm not sure how to tell which to get… Thx
