Let me tell you about the pros first. The keyboard is beautiful. The Led backlighting is completely cutomizable with the Cooler Master software. Although I wouldn't consider it to be "low profile" the keyboard is lower than most keyboards. The switches themselves feel good. They are completely silent aside from when the key bottoms out. The keyboard is very compact and the spacing between keys is low to make it a bit smaller. I purchased the ten-keyless version so I have plenty of space on my desk due to its compact nature. The keyboard is also very sturdy with an aluminum brushed top finish.
Now for the cons. Like I stated previously, the keys are very close together. This allows the keyboard to looks fantastic however this means that if you have bigger fingers it's very easy to press more than one key. I personally like the keys being closer but there is a pretty steep learning curve because of this. The keyboard also doesn't come with adjustable feet so if you like your keyboards slightly elevated you will need to use another item to prop it up.
Aside from this the keyboard is great. The setup is extremely simply however it's not too clear where to get the software for the added customization. Once you figure that out though, the software is easy to use, even with support for macros. The keyboard uses a Type-C to USB cable which is great for travelling if you have an Android device which let's you take one less cable. The keyboard also comes with a nice travel bag out of the box which is very convenient.
I wouldn't have bought this keyboard knowing this learning curve existed however I have it now and I quite enjoy it. I hope this helped someone deciding whether or not to buy this keyboard.
Pros:
-Aesthetically pleasing, minimal design
-Switches are quiet
-lots of lighting and effects customization via software
-linear switches so they have no bottoming out. It is very satisfying to type on for a long time, no "finger fatigue" that you get from other switches like the cherry mx blues
Cons:
-Space bar has a loud metal rattling sound. Typing on a normal key sounds like a "ping" but the space bar sounds like a "clink". This happens when the base that holds the metal stabilizer is not tight enough and there is too much room so the stabilizer makes a clinking sound when the space bar is pressed down. I inserted small pieces of cotton balls under the stabilizer to fix this problem. This also occurs in the backspace, enter, and right shift key. This was a big problem for me because it was so loud and noticeable, but this problem is fixable.
-no height adjustment - This actually isn't a problem for me since I prefer it low, but a lot of people need this and should be included any modern keyboard.
-- Huge range of RGB effects and precise color controls.
-- Internal memory for RGB settings means settings are retained when switching OS, booting, etc.
-- RGB effect looks great on the brushed metal, and illuminates keycaps well.
-- Responsive switches
-- Easy cleaning with keycaps removed
Cons:
-- Close-packed keycaps with no beveling and relatively large travel distance plus high sensitivity on these red switches makes accuracy a bit of an issue. Lots of accidental keystrokes at first, but better with practice.
-- Typing surface is pretty high (1 in.) off the table, you might want a wrist-rest just to get a better angle.
-- The switches are pretty wiggly
The RGB effects are great on this model but there are some mechanical issues. I think the accuracy issues could be solved cheaply with keycaps that offer a bit more room between keys. You could also solve the issue with clicky switches. It's a good keyboard for the price.

No keyboard is 100% perfect or else we'd all own that one.
Ja sie sieht toll aus.
Die Verarbeitung wirkt robust und wertig.
Der Tastaturhub ist viel zu hoch für meinen Geschmack
Klobige Tasten mit zu geringem Tastenabstand
Die Taster lösen sehr schnell aus sodas ich immer wieder beim Tippen die Kante der anderen klobigen Tasten berühre und somit auslöse.
Daher ging sie zurück und ich bin immer noch auf der Siuche nach einer Alternative
(Macally ist es nicht !)
This is a low profile mechanical board with flat keycaps, very few of these are currently on the market. It takes a bit of time to get used to it but overall it is not hard. I switched to this kb from Ergodox which has full profile mechanical keys and was not comfortable for me as i got used to typing on laptops. The red keys are very good and mostly silent, just a but louder than the cherry silent reds. The actuation effort is a bit too hard to my taste at about 50g. The actuation point os shorter than that of full profile boards which along with flat caps makes typing more comfortable to my taste once you got used to it. TKL format is probably best as you dont have to constantly move your right hand back and forthnover the mostly useless numpad area while still having the normal arrow and navigation section. I only wish it had bluetooth but the 631 model which is the same as this but with BT is just nowhere to be found. The sk621 board is 60% so wont have functional row and navigational section so 630 was the only good option for me. If there was a non staggered keyboard like this with slightly lighter actuation force it would probably be ideal. Giving 5 stars as there are absolutely no mass produced linear low profile mechanical boards, wgich makes this one the best of the mediocre/legacy boards with poor ergonomics. Ah, almost forgit, the keys are not replaceable so if one breaks the whole board would have to go to the bin.
