The best keyboard I've ever owned, and I've owned many! I love the sleek appearance! No extra macro buttons to the left, which always seem to get in the way, being a touch typist 'feeling' for my home row, ha. Show off factor is huge, "Hey, your keyboard has no letters!??", "Who needs them?!".
Typical mechanical keyboard, there's just nothing extraordinary about it. For those who haven't been using mechanical keyboards, don't expect a world of a difference. The keyboard is a great one, don't get me wrong, it just doesn't blow my mind.

My brother got this keyboard and I tested it out multiple times and I can say that you will not be disappointed when making this purchase as your mechanical keyboard. The appearance and surface of the keyboard is really well done and looks a lot better than many competitor keyboards.

The light mechanical action makes this keyboard a joy to type with. The lack of labels on the keys is a good since it stops you from looking down when typing. Built very solid.
I have no idea why the USB ports are located on the right side of the keyboard. That's where my mouse pad is making these ports useless to me. Otherwise I would give it 5 stars.

Accept that this has no typeface on the keys and you will be much happier with the product.
Typing with this thing is a dream, even if you aren't that familiar with proper typing technique. Just having the keyboard will force you to learn to touch type properly, or at least makes it faster.

To review this item, you have to accept what it is: blank-keys, mechanical switches, and minimal in style. It excels at what it is. Typing on this keyboard offers a very nice tactile feel, without being too loud.
I would have liked to be able to use the usb ports on the keyboard but I don't need them, so it's no big loss. Otherwise I would have given this a 5 star.

The keyboard is great. Cherry brown keys aren't clicky like blue keys (The regular s model). Beautiful to type on. I like the gloss finish on it but it does attract fingerprints very easily.
I bought this to replace a steelseries 6gv2, which I've had for a long time. This one is better for typing as it has brown cherry mx keys and there is a lot more tactile feedback than the black cherry mx keys that the 6gv2 had. This keyboard is also great for gaming. I personally prefer this keyboard over the 6gv2.
