I have this keyboard and it's great, good build quality and fairly hefty. The keyboard and mouse also come with braided cables and the keyboard has some nice lighting effects.
It uses black Gateron switches, which if you know anything about mechanical keyboards, are considered by some to be superior to Cherry switches as they are smoother and less scratchy.
Unbelievable value for money!

Awesome thanks, new office has terrible keyboards and looking for a decent budget one to replace. This'll do nicely, heat.

Amazon only lists switches as tecknet not gateron? Does it mention type anywhere or have you just checked yourself

I'm reading through the reviews and it does seem to be mechanical black switches, but no confirmation (that I can see) of the brand. Can't imagine Gaterons or Cherry at this price.
Still, a very good price for black mechanical switches since usually all you find are cheap knock-off blues at this price point.

Proof that they are Gateron switches.

Been wanting something at a good price for my work keyboard, will give this a try.
