That's nice. I like the complimentary colours. I did consider an R2 but I far prefer an ISO layout. So there was only a narrow choice of... the 88U. I'm absolutely loving mine so far. COmpletely used to TKL now and I really don't think I can go back to non-topre.
I'd say my Razer with MX blue switches was better for gaming. But this is acceptable for games and absolutely fantastic for everything else.
I really miss ISO layout, but I love this board otherwise. I actually replaced the stock domes with BKE Redux Domes for extra tactility. They're dreamy, I look for excuses to type stuff up now
