" ... I have several Cooler Master keyboards with Cherry Brown keys. ... I'm not sure if the quality of the Cherry keys has dropped or if it's something about the way the keyboard is set up, but it's much less positive and well controlled than the others, not a whole lot better than a membrane keyboard and not worth paying the extra cost for. ... I want a keyboard I can type on fast and accurately (with backlighting :D), and preferably that lasts a long time. ... It's so hard to find a good keyboard now. ... "

" ... The keys have a nice mechanical feel and the back-lighting is very bright and adjustable. ... In general very happy with the keyboard. ... Before ordering, I noticed that some people complained that the lowercase symbols on some keys were not back-lit and this is true, but in my opinion not a major problem. ... "

" ... this is not a kids keyboard, no distractions, no unnecessary buttons and no ridiculous structure at all, is very nice to have at the office if your coworkers are not annoyed by the sound (like if you care), the macro for the lights are awesome and very convenient. ... "
