I was incredibly skeptical when I bought this keyboard but a month has passed and I have to say I'm in love. Construction: The keyboard case is plastic, but don't let that fool you like it did for me. It feels incredibly durable and carries real industrial weight. The keycaps also feel good and the print hasn't faded on me yet. The keyboard also has a corner on the bottom that's perfect for the included cables. Functionality: The keyboard I chose came with Cherry MX Browns. I share a dorm and can't wake my roommate so they are perfect for my situation. I didn't need any software to get started. All programmed function keys worked out of the box, which was also a plus. Every keystroke feels like a dream! TL; DR: Overall I'd say if you're looking for an entry-level mechanical keyboard with great quality and thoughtful design, this is a great choice.
