Review on MechanicalEagle Z-77 75% Mechanical Keyboard Aluminium Panel Clicky Blue Switches Rainbow LED Backlit N-Key Rollover 87-Key Tenkeyless Hot Swappable Spare Switches Included by Casey Narcisse

The best keyboard I've ever used. It's heavy, durable, has very nice feeling keys and the switches under them, cherry mx blues, are amazing; crisp, clean, and always responsive. Some will say that the keys are hard to depress but really, if you're used to jacked up membrane-key boards, as I am, then you will actually find that depressing these mechanical keys is much easier. I personally wouldn't recommend any other keyboard from any other brand as none are as well made as this one. Even if you buy a super expensive, $200+, Logitech, or "logi" as they are known now, keyboard, the only thing to look forward to are all the gimmicky extra features, and that they're wireless, woopee. This keyboard is the real deal, no BS, just a good, solid, keyboard, great size, with great keys and some fun back-lighting modes.Just a few things to note about this keyboard:1. Yes, there is an aluminum plate that's about an 1/8th of an inch thick under the keys/switches, which adds to the weight, otherwise the plastic parts of the board are very sturdy as well.2. The backlighting doesn't allow for changing the color of the lights individually, and so there is in order:One Row of Red: ESC-F12-PauseOne Row of Yellow: Tilde-0-PgUpOne Row of Green: Tab-P-PgDnOne Row of Blue: CapsLk-L-ReturnOne Row of Purple: Left Shift-M-Up ArrowOne Row of Pink: Left CTRL-ALT-Left Arrow3. There are 9 display illumination modes and 9 gaming illumination modes which only highlight certain keys used especially for gaming such as WASD and so on.4. The board may look white in the picture, but technically it's mostly silver because of the aluminum and the keys, which have translucent etchings done to allow the requisite light through each key, and are white themselves.5. This board does not have a dedicated number pad section, and instead terminates on the right side with the Pause, PgUp, PgDn, and Right Arrow keys.6. The board itself weighs in at about five pounds, which is a considerable amount for a keyboard, but due to it's good size and built in inclination, starting at the bottom at about 2 degrees and rising at the top to 4 degrees, and due to its long, white, USB cable, it sits on the lap or desk easily, placing the hands only a few degrees above the wrists, limiting carpal tunnel, although a wrist pad about an inch thick or a little less wouldn't be a bad idea.7. Minor details such as the quality of the plastics used, the ability to turn down and turn off the backlighting, and the little brushed metal screws affixing the plate to the board, make this keyboard really feel like a premium piece of electronics despite its meager $40 price tag.All in all, I'd recommend this board to anyone looking for a mechanical keyboard for gaming, or as a major upgrade for the typist/writer positions you may hold, or even just for everyday computing. The only real drawbacks are that it is a bit gaudy and would either be laughed at at work, or stolen, so it's best for home use. Oh and one last thing, it doesn't have a numlock key, because no keypad.
