Brill price for a mechanical keyboard, they are Kailh reds, which stack up pretty well against the Cherry MX equivalent. I dare say some wouldn't really notice the difference, obviously depends on what you're accustomed to. At this price, I think it's well worth it.
Comes with 8 blue key caps to pop over certain keys that you may want to highlight. Most would likely use to mark out WASD ect... Although I'm going to say something that could shock you all. I USE ARROWS! Not ashamed! Blame Unreal Tournament from back in the day :smile:
Also: You get a mouse mat too (435 x 320mm)
Which again, you can't grumble too much at, considering the price point of both together, tis a bonus

I used WASD for unreal tournament, both worked by default afaik.
And a blind test off 25 people was done, results inconclusive - basically nobody could tell the difference and people are just fan boys. Whish I could find that article, read it when researching a keyboard to buy last year.
Heat tho.

My older bro got me into building PCs back in about 97, so he taught me the arrows. I can't change! But yeah re: The keys, I think they are just as good. Although running a Logi G910 now.

It's probably more durability that suffers vs the Cherry ones as their QC is excellent. That said these keys probably last beyond the lifetime of the average keyboard usage anyway so it's kind of a non-issue

The QC of kailh isn't crap though, and until I find proof to the show otherwise I'll not become a fanboy. Sorry.

Who's a fanboy? Cherry are well established and even have videos of their multi-million pound production line and QC in progress. They have earned their reputation.
Kalih on the other hand, point me to any of that. If you want to make an educated decision based on information available I know which I would trust more.
Each to their own.

Nope not silent at all, every key you press will have a loud clack to it.

Didn't really mean you. Just anything I research is just undated with fanboys saying they're better, simply because they are. Kaihl are not exactly new and all they do is this kinda of thing. It's not a simple Chinese company mass cloning every object, there own factories, multiple, decades of experience etc.
Kaihl are also rated for 50mill+ strokes.
Btw I don't have a Kaihl, I actually have some unbranded crap that had insanely good reviews so took a risk, and still happy I did. I took the risk because of the hours researching cheery/kaihl led to no actually decent info.
Randomly I have a few Cherry keyboards, and a mouse,in my work kit. Random spares from ePoS units etc.

How do people use arrow keys when gaming? Your thumb wouldn't be within easy reach of the space bar for jumping and there's nothing like 'Q' and 'E' not to mention 'Z', 'X' and 'C'... Even the one lefty gamer I know uses '8', '4', '5' and '6' on the numpad with '0' for jump.
