My little review of this board after 1 month:
I own this keyboard and I really enjoy it. I have the white version with the white LEDs, not rainbow. Keep in mind the rainbow is not RGB, it just has multiple color LEDs that you can't change around. It's a static rainbow. As for the switches, they obviously won't feel as solid as Cherry MXs, but they are very clicky and enjoyable to type with. I know some people even prefer these Outemu switches over genuine ones. The base is decent, but you will get more clack with the aluminum plate on top. I personally use O-rings to dampen the noise, and it's perfect for me. However, when carefully compared to more expensive boards, this base won't feel premium and will give a hollow feel/sound. That really depends on how picky you are, because it's not noticeable to me during normal use. The white LEDs on mine are blindingly bright. Even when dimmed all the way down, I still found it a bit too much. I believe this will be less of a problem if you go with either the rainbow lights or the black base/keys. I don't like the font or white keycaps, so I replaced mine with some black keycaps from a WASD code and it looks great. This helped a lot with the brightness, but that will vary on keycaps you use. The keyboard is entirely standard as well, so cap replacement will be smooth.
All in all, I think this board has a lot of bang for the buck. At first I was put off by clone switches, since I really didn't like the Razer ones after trying them, but these were great. What made me buy this board ultimately was price, looks, and good reviews. People had a lot of good things to say about the full-size board, so I felt good buying this one. I bought it with the intention of switching caps, however, so take that into account when considering price. So far, I would recommend this board to anyone, especially as an entry-level. Enthusiasts may enjoy it, but might notice little flaws. After using a CM keyboard, I enjoyed using this one. It even comes with a hilarious mousepad with a butchered English slogan.
Here's where I bought mine + additional pictures: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0114LL0NO?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=ox_sc_act_title_1&smid=A59OO3NF467ZG They go by many different brand names btw
If you're on the fence about buying this keyboard, I hope this gave a slight push!

vspinaEach row is a preset color. You can change the modes to scan or ripple but the key colors don't change.
