Excellent keyboard for the price
I actually really like this keyboard. What I care about most is the typing experience. RGB, TKL, media keysare all secondary concerns for me. My primary use is programming, so the feel of the keys and key pressesmatters most to me. Having said that, my favorite keyboard is the Logitech g815 with linear switches, butit's $200. This is a good second place.I've also tried:Corsair K70 low profile with Cherry MX speed switchesKeychron K1 low profile with Gateron brown switchesKeychron K1 low profile with Gateron red switchesI felt that pressing the keys on all three above took noticably more force than this Havit and the g815.I also felt that the key press on the Havit (and g815) is smoother and cleaner than the above 3. With theCorsair and Keychron keyboards, I felt some fatigue and discomfort in my fingers after a day of typing. Not sowith the Havit (or g815)Compared to the g815, the keypress on the Havit takes slightly more force (but not enough to bothermy fingers), is a little longer, and a little less smooth/clean.In terms of build quality, I haven't noticed any problems with the keys. The keyboard is not asheavy as the Corsair, but there's still hardly any flex to it. I will say that one of the rubber feetdoesn't seem to stick to my desk, so it does slide around a little bit. Not when I'm typing, but if Ibump it, or move it around, I notice that it slides easier than the other keyboards. Not sure if thisis a one off, or a systematic issue. However, I fixed this easily with $2 rubber bumpers from Home Depot.If you don't have $200 to spend on the g815, this keyboard is about as close as you can get. And for 1/3of the cost, it's definitely a great deal.

Nice Layout for TKL Keyboard
This is my second one of these keyboards. I like the layout of the keys, and the backlight, and the fact that the letters & punctuation are big enough to easily see when I glance down (I'm a writer, not a gamer). The low profile works really well with a 3/4 inch Graffitti wrist pad (available on Amazon). Extra bonus is the software for programming keys for certain operations. The software is a bit obscure, but eventually you figure it out.First unit I got was with the blue (clicky) switches. I think I like the red ones better. But either way, both have a 'clack' when they bottom out, and due to the switch design, no o-rings for softening the sound. But, turns out, you actually can use o-rings, just not the usual ones made for cherry style switches.After experimenting, I found that the 8mm OD x 6mm ID x 1mm width o-rings work best (available on Amazon). You have to stretch them around the two posts on the underside of the keycaps, and then push them down to the underside of the caps, around the reinforcing 'cross'. A tweezers and a desk-mount magnifier helps. The result is a softer landing, and about 50% reduction in sound.Since these are ABS caps they will start to 'shine' after a few months. It doesn't bother me, but maybe one day the manufacturer will make a higher quality set available.

Great keyboard for the price.
Really great low profile MK for the price ($60 when I bought it). Love the low profile red kailh switches, and TKL is great. Wish they had a 60% or 65% version, but this will do for many people.The software is a bit odd, in the sense that you can set response time and polling rate as separate drop downs which makes no sense since they're the same thing, just measured in different units. And you can set 1000hz polling rate, but the quickest response time listed is 2ms, which also doesn't make sense since 1000hz equates to a 1ms response time. So I still don't know if I'm using this at 1000hz/1ms, or 500hz/2ms depending on which of the dropdowns is accurate.

Pretty good
It's actually a pretty good keyboard. I've had for a little over a month now and everything is still working fine. I have the red switches. It feels great, isn't really loud, and doesn't take up a lot of space. I love it for $60. No problems with the keyboard as far as I can tell.

One missing feature. Perfect otherwise
I used the Blue switch for a long time. Last year, I stumbled upon the website and saw the Red was available. I waited until it hit Amazon and bought it when it was available. As much as I liked the Blue switch, I began to get annoyed at the loud clicky noise. I was hesitant to purchase the Red as I've heard the Red switches are a bit more stiffer to press. Well, it is, but not by much. However, it's MUCH quieter.I very much like the build quality. It's lightweight, key marks aren't painted on. The black key colors also never faded on my Red switch after 2 years of gaming and programming. I'm going to assume that's the case for this one.It is missing a volume key. I just installed AutoHotKey and set it up to use Win + < and Win + > for volume control.
