I'm sorry to have to report that mine arrived with a bad key switch. It was sticking badly, which was apparent in the first ten seconds after I opened the box. I didn't feel like returning it for service, so I scavenged a key switch out of my Cherry key switch tester and soldered it in - fully violating the warranty in the process.
At this point, I'm disappointed with the quality control. I found this key with a cursory inspection, the factory should have done the same.
I don't know yet if I'll like the keyboard. I've been primarily using IBM Model Ms for decades and the Cherry Green seemed the closest pick. We'll see how it goes now that I've got it working.

ShawnStanfordThat sucks mine has no defects I can find and works great with the much heavier than normal vortex PBT double-shot I have. (Ignore the ugly LCD mount)

keeboredThanks, I don't know if you can get the blue anymore I had to get them on ebay for 80. But I freakin love em. EDIT: looks like they decided to start producing them again. http://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=773 and for other colors: http://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=search_list&s[search]=+Bi-Color+PBT+Double+Shot+Keycap+Set+%28Vortex%29&s[title]=Y&s[short_desc]=Y&s[full_desc]=Y&s[sku]=Y&s[match]=all&s[cid]=0 They are really thick and even make the greens require less force hence why I needed green vs blues for these caps and my typing style. I came from a rx-9000 with blues for reference.
