This is my first mechanical keyboard and it was a really great price for a beginner board. There are many lighting options and they give it an elegant look. The blue keys are nice and clicky, just what I wanted. My only concern is that there is both evidence of previous use and evidence of failed attempts to clean the keycaps. There seems to be dirt (?) on the keys. I didn't really notice them until I set the keyboard up and under the light I noticed that one of the keys was various shades of pink and upon further investigation most of the keys were the ones I finally could clear. out. Luckily, a keycap remover is included, so I just pulled them all out to clean them. All in all, this is a nice first mechanical keyboard, but I wish there were less evidence of previous use.
