Revainrating 4 out of 5

Fantastic buy for the money.

UPDATED: I deducted 2 stars due to a faulty key. It's fine, but when you email the address on their warranty service website, you get an error message saying the email address doesn't exist. So yeah, don't expect to catch someone if they break. For money it is not a problem. While Outemu's switches aren't top-of-the-line mechanical key switches, the tactile feedback is fantastic. If you are looking for a cheap mechanical keyboard, this would be a good choice. The keys feel comfortable, with slightly more resistance than Cherry MX Brown switches, but they have a slightly quiet ride and are quiet enough for an office setting but loud enough to let you know you've pressed a button. The backlight isn't intrusive and has full, half, and off settings; In addition, the backlight can be set to blink or sweep with F-key combinations. The keyboard comes with a handy reference card for all available keyboard shortcuts, an included key puller, and a 1-year limited warranty. The keys are a bit higher than some of the others, but they take some time to get used to. While I don't think this is a real N-key flip keyboard, it looks like they have great firmware for this thing, which puts multiple simultaneous button presses on queues, so essentially it behaves like it's NKRO. It is as they say There are a few flaws that I noticed after a few hours of use. The keyboard is quite high even without extended legs. I notice that my arms are bent a little more than I would like. With the legs extended, the feel is the same as most other keyboards with legs extended. Another thing I noticed is that there are only rubber grips on the bottom (edge of the spacebar) of the keyboard and it tends to slip a bit when typing forward. The top handles are on the bottom of the legs, which may work for some but not all. So it's a fantastic price and a good choice for a mechanical keyboard. It has the features and feel of a much more expensive device. If I had known what a quality purchase it was I would have bought two. While it has a few downsides, they're not enough to discourage buying it. If you're on the fence, just do it! You'
