I have one of these, and while the build quality is pretty good, it's a very heavy keyboard, I have run into a few bugbears.

1) Trying to use this keyboard to access a BIOS via DEL is a bit hit and miss I find, but most likely a problem with my machine/BIOS
2) The fact the numpad and arrow keys and funtion keys are integrated means you can only access one at a time, so you may find it a bit annoying having to keep enabling/disabling num lock.
3) My UK version has accented keys, so it will have say E on the key, but below it will have a É under it, this goes for U, O, A and I and while not a massive issue, it's like a say a bugbear.

However, the brown keys are brilliant, they have an ever so slight tactile feel to them and they are quiet unless you hammer them, like I do.

The keyboard is very stable, with the weight and rubber feet it won't budge from normal usage.

The removable USB cable is great, as I believe it's a standard mini USB so should be easy to replace if it frays/breaks, but it is long enough and the braiding is of good quality/thickness.

It was my first mechanical keyboard and bar the fact that I used the numpad/function keys (delete, insert) etc. more than I realised in games its a good keyboard. But were I to buy again, I'd probably get one with a separate numpad.
