I ordered this keyboard and got my first one about a week ago. Build quality looked great, keyboard felt great, keycaps feel great, LEDs work great out of the box with the presets and are relatively intuitive to change using the keyboard. (Though, for keycaps with a symbol near the bottom the LED visibly fades in brightness, so lighting isn't totally even, but it is bright and vibrant enough to impress most people.)
The issue I'm dealing with right now is that I'm on the second keyboard and both ended up with the same problem about 2 minutes after being plugged into my computer. I tested the first keyboard on my desktop, second on my macbook laptop. Both seemed to work fine, but then after playing with the LED settings I set about actually using them to type and got repeating letters with a single keystroke. This renders the keyboard useless. I'm wondering if it is a software issue now, since both boards have the same issue and no one else has seemed to have this problem (that I noticed). The first time it happened, I removed the keycaps for several keys and pressed the actual switch mechanism myself and experienced the same issue - so it isn't something wonky with striking the keycaps off center or anything.
I'm planning to do some more troubleshooting and update this review, but if I can't find a simple solution to this I'm just going to return it and buy a Razor BlackWidow Tournament edition instead. I already have one for work and though it isn't as impressive in some ways as the MasterKeys Pro S (no CherryMX blues, less elegant design, higher price, etc) I at least can use it for typing. Not much I can do with a pretty keyboard that leaves myyyyy typiiiing liiiiike thiiiiiiiiiiiisss. ::::((
Pros:
Great build quality
RGB
On the fly lighting profile
Cons:
Possible quality control issues (I have yet to encounter any)
Fairly pricey without a deal
Long Version
Disclaimer: This is all my personal opinion. I have been looking for a mechanical keyboard for about 3 months. It took me awhile because I was looking for a good deal as well as a quality keyboard. After about a month ago, I narrowed it down to the Masterkeys Pro S and the Filco Majestouch 2. Sure, there were other keyboards like the K70, K65, G.Skill Ripjaws, Logitech G910, Logitech G810, Razer BW, as well as many other cheaper keyboards. My basis for narrowing it down to the Masterkeys Pro S and Filco Majestouch was mostly the quality and the feel of the keys/switches. I tested the Razer BW, Logitech G910, and the Corsair K65 and wasn't completely satisfied with the quality. Don't get me wrong, they're good keyboards, but I think there are other keyboards with better quality.
I've been using this keyboard for about a week and haven't found anything wrong with it. The keyboard feels sturdy and the lights are vibrant and do not bleed. Setting the lighting profile on the keyboard isn't too bad; it just takes some getting used to. If you download the software, it's much easier in my opinion. The RGB lighting may be a bit unnecessary, but it's nice to look at and can help you find the keys in the dark.
The product comes with a wire keycap puller and a removable L-shaped micro usb cord. The wire keycap puller is better than the ring keycap puller in my opinion. There's a smaller chance of scratching your keycaps if you choose to remove it. I'm not too big a fan of the L-shaped micro usb cord. I can see how it could get in the way of your setup.
Overall it's a great keyboard. The keyboard feels heavy and study. The keycaps and switches sound great; although I may switch out the keycaps for better quality ones. It's a little pricey so you may want to wait until the price drops a bit before buying. Highly recommend the keyboard. I have no regrets buying it.

Me voy a asegurar de editar esta publicacion si tengo algun problema de algun tipo, pero espero que no sea necesario.
Nunca habia hecho una compra de teclado tan bien pensada y eso trajo buenos resultados, el switch que escogí, fue brown, que por su descripcion estaba seguro que eran perfectos para mi, y lo son.
Mi version es Masterkeys Pro S RGB // Cherry MX Brown
PROS:
-El teclado es MUY pesado, te hace sentir mas seguro a la hora de escribir.
-El RGB funciona perfectamente y es muy brillante, los cambios de luz son suaves y relajantes
-El switch Cherry MX hace la experiencia de escribir muy agradable, tanto el tacto como el sonido
-El software del teclado funciona perfectamente, lo puedes personalizar a tu gusto
-La caligrafia del teclado no es "Gamer", yo prefiero que las letras se vean en una caligrafia estandar, por eso me gusta este teclado
-Acabado mate y diseño rectangular MUY elegante y minimalista, las "huellas" no se le pegan tan facilmente
-El cable viene bien reforzado, muy buena calidad y grueso
-El teclado se ve excelente en el escritorio, su forma, sus colores, las teclas. Simplemete perfecto!
CONTRAS:
-Si es sonido es una preocupacion, los switches MX no son por ningun motivo muy sigilosos, la verdad es que si se escuchan bastante. Para unos puede ser una desventaja, pero no lo es para mi jeje
-El cable micro-usb tiene forma de "L" y eso es un inconveniente para mi, y es un poco corto.
Lo recomiendo a toda persona que busque buena calidad de construccion, diseño elegante, excelente experiencia cuando escribes y colores muy brillantes. Cooler Master me sorprendió.

First of all its extremely satisfying to type with, the feed back is fantastic and the blue switches really make typing anything a joy to do. Typing has a certain therapeutic element to it with this keyboard the feed back is fantastic, the lights are bright and beautiful and the level of customization you have access to is mind boggling. The software is easy to use and your actions are reflected on the keyboard.
My complaints are small, sometimes when messing about with the keys its difficult to get back to where you were, there are no dedicated macro keys but you can create macros and use them with the function keys. Occasionally i will do something wrong, and it will result in me having to open the software to fix my mistakes and for me at least the visualizer RGB program doesn't work.
The number pad is nice to have and as far as I'm aware this is one of the only mechanical keyboards with RGB and Blue switches. As far as I'm concerned the feel of blue switches is much better than reds i have used in the past. All in all this keyboard feels looks and works extremely well.
Plus the lights on the keyboard have a pre-programmed snake game so you can play snake on your keyboard.
Upon purchasing this I had read A LOT of reviews on it and generally it was amazing, however there were a few I came across that had serious issues from more 'experienced' mechanical keyboard enthusiasts about the keys being weird and such. Needless to say I was hesitant to get this at first but eventually pulled the trigger. Boy was I glad I did!
I got the MX Brown variant and coming from the Razer Blackwidow 2013 which was a green backlit MX Blue fullsize it was quite the change!
Immediately I love the Browns as opposed to the Blues especially for gaming, although when typing I do miss the Blues a bit however I'm completely accustomed to the Browns now so that is mostly gone.
Having the TKL is very nice, I only ever used the numpad for what most people usually use it for which is number crunching in calculator which is often-ish for me but for the amount of time I used it learning to use the number keys along the top wasn't a big deal.
Getting rid of that terrible Razer software felt so great, and not being 'forced' to install a software to use this keyboard made it feel even greater! (Although I still installed it, but knowing I didn't have to and I wouldn't really be missing out on much felt great!).
Speaking of the software it's solid software, very simple to use and easy to navigate. I wish other manufacturers would take this more seriously.
As for the keyboard itself I mean the keycaps feel nice and solid and the backlighting is nice and bright.
The only nit-picky thing I would change is the position of the media function buttons, have the the play/pause be on 'Home' flanked by forward/backward while 'End' handle stop while being flanked by volume up/down. Ridiculously minor issue, and only because I use it quite often. I have gotten used to it however!
Apart from all this, I must mention that I bought a wrist rest to use with this keyboard and that improves things quite a bit, It'd be a much worse experience without one personally but most people it probably wouldn't bother. I won't take a star off for this because the point of this keyboard is the small footprint which if they included a built-in wrist rest would defeat the purpose of that.
That aside if you're interested in the wrist rest I am using it is the 'Glorious PC Gaming Race' foam TKL wrist rest.
Overall great purchase and I doubt anybody would truly be disappointed with this.
