This is my first mechanical keyboard and I will never go back. The speed caps are great because I use it more for typing than I do for gaming. I've come from a standard logitech keyboard to this one and used it for a full day.There is some initial adjusting required because even though this has the numpad and direction keys on the right side, the keyboard itself is still narrower than most conventional keyboards. After a day of using it though I have naturally adapted and my fingers know where to go again.The keyboard itself is beautiful as you can see from the photo I took from my mobile. I love the textured space bar and hand rest and the lighting makes the keys pop at night.I do foresee these white keys getting browner and grubby, but hopefully they are easy to clean and i'll have to be pretty conscious about washing/wiping my hands before use.4 out 5 stars only because I think it could have been a bit wider.

I've tried a lot of keyboard over the years, yet had failed to find any that I seemed to fit my needs.

My previous keyboard was a HyperX RGB Cherry Blue (which I wasn't too happy with, both feel and quality wise.)

I also used a Corsair K70 RGB Rapidfire Cherry MX Speed, but that proved way too sensitive and I kept on hitting key combinations that I couldn't disable.

This keyboard, though, hits the sweet spot for me.

Cherry Brown is the perfect tactile + resistance. Not too hard, but not too soft either.

Angle of the keyboard with the feet down is perfect.

The keys have a smooth, yet slightly soft feel to my fingers. They feel really pleasant to the touch. Something I've not noticed before in other keyboards.

Wrist rest is also comfortable.

This keyboard has reduced my fatigue and errors in typing. (I was struggling with the HyperX for some reason.) It's made a huge difference in my ability to get writing done.

While I also love the look and design, I've found that, in the end, what really matters is comfort and responsiveness. This keyboard just works for me and assuming it holds up, I will certainly get it again when the time comes.

Update for January 2022

I have used this keyboard every day since I purchased it and found it has held up well. It not only works as well as the day I got it, but none of the keys have faded overtime.

More than happy to recommend this product for the long term.

Has backlighting, full media controls, full standard keyboard layout including a number pad.
Has some game interaction (I liked Diablo 3's where a key's backlighting was enabled/disabled if the corresponding game action was available, etc)
It isn't too loud.
The downside to this keyboard is that key press accuracy isn't as good as an older Logitech. ie. I make more mistakes on this keyboard than on the Logitech.
Bit expensive.
This is my second one after the first one had a key stop working reliably. It was refunded. Bought again due to its combination of features.

10/10 Keyboard. Absolutely love it. Came from a clicky keyboard and the difference is insane. Use it for both gaming and typing and I couldn't be happier with the keyboard.

I bought this keyboard to replace an older mechanical keyboard that was ghosting and had horrible software. It was a bit more than I wanted to pay but it was worth it because the keyboard is very nice to use - both for typing and for gaming - and the keys have a nice feel. Also importantly for me, the software is actually good. You can set colours and effects per-key and store three profiles on the keyboard, which can be toggled with a button on the keyboard.

The only real things to be wary of, and, really, these come down to personal taste more than anything, is the spacebar is a different texture to other keys (though you do get used to it), the design of the keyboard is such that the switches are visible beneath the keys and the brightness of the keys during the day isn't as bright as the pictures suggest but is still acceptable.

As with any mechanical keyboard with brown switches, it is loud to type on but it is worth it. I used a regular membrane keyboard while waiting on a new mechanical keyboard and the difference was certainly noticeable.

Quality keyboard, nice to type and game on, not too noisy and not clicky, a satisfying sound from the keys. The keys sit slightly higher than what I'm used but it's not uncomfortable. The wrist rest could be a little deeper to make it a little more comfortable for those with larger hands, that'd be my only complaint. I feel like it was great value at the discounted price I paid.

Honestly, I just like this, it isn't as loud as the last one I had, and isn't dying. But, I will say that the keys are sensitive, just resting a finger can accidentally press it with a little bit too much pressure, like a tiny tiny bit of pressure

Just like older versions of this model it is all I can ask of from a keyboard, it is quiet without losing the click-clack nature of a mechanical keyboard, but I like the click-clack, if you want a nearly silent keyboard this isn't it, but if you like the tactile experience of mechanical keyboard, this is it.

I bought this keyboard back in 2020. It's been a daily driver since, with easily 2-6hrs a day whether it be gaming or home office use. I was reading the reviews others have posted since I am looking to buy another k68 for my kids; and I'm surprised to see anything other than 5/5 stars. After almost 4 years of daily use, cats on or near my keyboard, and children using it. I have had no issues at all. As you can see in the picture I do not keep my keyboard perfectly clean and the rubber membrane definitely helps with cleaning when I actually do it.

As far as damage over time, the only thing I've noticed is that my "A" key has slight wear on the left side of the key. Which in my eyes is a true testament to the build quality. If it can put up with all the abuse for years and only show wear on one key, I can't recommend any other product.

Icue: I have my "F1, F2, F3" keys set to monitor internal temps of my PC. Which as trivial as it sounds is a great spot check during long gaming or stress test situations.
The lighting controls on this board are not limited to zones like the K55 giving unlimited control and customization.

All in all, out of all the keyboards I've used this one is by far the best.

The media could not be loaded.
 Debido a algunas reseñas pensé que resultaría complicado adaptarse a la sensibilidad del teclado, pero en realidad no lo es, he de decir que me esperaba una calidad de plastico media, pero el acabado es sólido y no es plástico, la construcción es super firme y no se siente frágil de ningún lado, el conector tiene muy buen terminado, las teclas no son tan "fáciles" de sacar como en otras reseñas dicen, si salen sin esfuerzo grande pero tampoco es como que si le pasas el dedo de costado se boten, viene super bien empaquetado, la respuesta es simplemente fenomenal, por el precio y lo que obtienes me parece una excelente opción de verdad. Las teclas suenan muy suaves, son sensibles al tacto pero nada que resulte estresante, al contrario del todo es buenísimo tanto para jugar como para hacer ediciones de video y foto, muy práctico.

LO QUE NO ME GUSTO
A pesar de que el teclado es bueno, lo único que no me agrado es el software de ICUE me dio problemas con mi computadora a la hora de personalizar el teclado, buscando en Internet encontré que es fallo de una actualización que sufrió el software, SIN EMBARGO, puedes hacer uso y alternas entre los modos de disparo de luz sin necesidad del programa, lo cual es una maravilla, solo llegas, conectas y listo, el teclado responde sin ningún problema
