Mine arrived yesterday, and I'm mostly happy with it. Cherry clears are nice but stiff and will take getting used to. The aluminum case is gorgeous and the white backlighting gives it an eerie mystical glow that reflects off the case. My only criticisms are that the stabilizers rattle badly, making those keys sound bad and cheap. Contrasting with even a much cheaper Logitech G710+ or the Varmilo keyboards I have without this behaviour, it's disappointing. And lastly the keycaps are very underwhelming for me personally. They're thin for doubleshot and feel like typical ABS you'd find on a cheap consumer keyboard. That's not a big deal for me as I will be replacing them with some thick PBT keycaps, but for the price I'd like to see more premium stock keycaps on this board.

arcroxHonestly, I'd say the keycaps feel somewhere between Tai-Hao PBT and Vortex PBT. But the legends are much nicer than the Vortex ones I have (shinethrough).
And MX Clears always seem like 1% milk to me. Just a compromise. I'd generally rather MX Greens, but I use Clears at work so my coworkers won't have to deal with as much noise.

TueraiI put on a set of Varmilo PBT plus a spare DSA space bar as a temporary suit for my DSX until the front-printed Vortex PBT keycaps I ordered arrive. Instantly, it felt better to type on. I had considered the Vortex PBT/POM backlit ones, but I agree the legends look pretty bad; I'd rather have the soft underglow and no legend shine-through than weird, murky-looking legends.
This is my first experience with MX Clears; they're okay for general use, but honestly, I don't like them for gaming. Lighter switches like browns/blues feel a lot better for that, personally. One day I will have a board with the fabled Zealios though, those sound perfect to me. I am surprised at how quiet this keyboard is with Clears, even forcefully bottoming out. I am considering bringing this board into work and being content with keeping my noisy blues and browns boards at home.
