Got one of these yesterday to replace my Corsair K30 non-mechanical keyboard and it's a smart keyboard.
Comes with optional wrist rest if you want it and feels solidly built with some nice weight and no flex at all.

What are the kaihua reds like, I hear they are half way between cherry reds and Black's for actuation force, what's your take?

As this is my first mechanical keyboard, I have no way to pass judgement Vs the others sadly but it is far better than my old, mushy, dome capped Corsair K30.
Never realised how more responsive mechanical keyboards were.
Not much help am I? :joy:

It was worth asking just in case you had. Posting the deal is more than helpful by itself :thumbsup:
It has flashing lights still :wink: thought that's all that mattered

Does not seem to be a mechanical model, cannot see it listed in specs.

Hm, can someone confirm that this indeed is a mechanical one, (relatively) comparable to the likes of Cherry MX?

It is mechanical, but uses kaihua switch's, specifically the kalih reds, I've never used them so cannot give an opinion

Thanks, might be worth trying out - Cherry MX's run at almost double the price.

Obviously trying is the only way to know if they're any good, but the reviews on YouTube seem to suggest they're heavier then cherry reds but lighter than cherry Black's, if thats of any help.

Space bar has broken on my g105 so perfect timing. Work from home so local pick up suits me as I need it asap

Can you individually colour the keys on this or is it just set colours / patterns

Yeah, halfords do spray paint pretty cheap.

Hi thanks for the feedback. You've convinced me to take the plunge. Quick question. Can you make up custom rgb colour combinations. For example. Can you make it so wasd light up a different colour to the rest of the keyboard. Thanks again.
