Absolutely normal. Just really good.

Like many people, I don't have the money to invest in a keyboard designed for high-level enthusiasts. In doing so I will try to address many of the questions/problems I had before/after purchasing this product. RGB: This is probably the biggest selling point for the product. The RGB is very bright and covers the entire keyboard. Needless to say, there are downsides. The software for me took 2 hours to browse the web and even then it only works sometimes (loads, then becomes unresponsive and forces me to quit the task and start over). No fixes found, no correct answers, not even a real womier/gamakay website that I could find. However, the keyboard lets you choose from a variety of colors and lighting modes directly by pressing FN and a few other keys, which I'm fine with. Another thing that worries me is that I can't find a way to separate the colors for the base and the buttons. Even though my buttons are blinking and the base is static, I want the buttons to be one color and the base another. A bit disappointing but no big deal. It's also very bright, very bright and overall looks very nice. The acrylic base looks beautiful and combined with the backlight it definitely looks solid. Switches/Sound: I ordered mine with brown switches as I have red ones in another keyboard and I could toggle them. I've played with them and they sound good, they're just a bit loud for me as I prefer a much softer sound like the red ones. I switched to red ones (the brown ones were SUPER hard to come by) and pocketed them. That sounds good; Of course, it won't sound like an $800 keyboard, but it won't sound like a $60 keyboard either. Stabilizers: This is the main disadvantage. Stabilizers are terrible. They rumble like there's no tomorrow. Every other key sounds nice and firm, but when you hit the thump button it sounds like you're using a $12 Walmart keyboard that just got thrown out of a building. They're attached to the circuit board, so you can't screw them tighter or anything. I don't know how to fix this yet, but I know I have to. I can not stand it anymore. PCB: Hey, it's PCB, what more can I say. 5 pin hot swap. Corpus: I've seen a few people complain about this case, but it's actually not that bad unless you're actively looking for something. Sure, it's not exactly smooth around the edges, but overall it's unassuming and looks great backlit. All in all, if you're not rich but still want a nice hot-swappable RGB backlit mechanical keyboard, this is the one for you. . While there aren't many detailed reviews/guides online for this particular board, you can still familiarize yourself with it.
