I have this keyboard from the last drop when it was $67 + 10 shipping, it's the Brown Kailh flavor without LED and it feels amazing with the included PBT caps.
Unfortunately the first keyboard I got had some chatter with the "i" key, after speaking to Henry from massdrop for a quick RMA with prepaid UPS label, my second keyboard arrived a week later and everything is hunky dory.
I would highly recommend this keyboard as it has all the important keys and additional numpad if you need in such a cute and simple form factor. For people who are wonder, it has windows lock, numpad lock and scroll lock.
And for the branding nitpicker out there, mine came just like in the picture but the space bar didn't have the Keycool branding on it, just blank white. However I'm not sure about this drop, whether it will have the branding on the space bar or not.
About accessories, again I'm not sure about this drop however mine came with additonals PBT caps for WASD, directional keys, escape key, keycap puller and a plastic chamber to keep the USB connector in place and safe from kinking.
Quick image below for those interested.

hananimI'm looking to get this as my first mechanical keyboard. I have tried the Cherry MX Brown switches and like them very much. How do the Kalih Browns compare to the MX Browns?
Also, does anyone know if you can get this keyboard non-backlit?

davsKailh browns are much stiffer (

) and of lesser quality. (Cherry switches use gold contacts, Kailh do not)

davsI've also used two Cherry MX Brown boards, the CM Storm Quickfire Rapid specifically and the FUNC KB 460 and I enjoy using them very much, however, I was honestly surprised that I prefer Kailh Brown over MX Brown, this was mainly because K Brown feels a lot more like MX Clear (from what I've read) than MX Brown because it doesn't have the grainy sand stuck in the switch feel. It might also be something to do with the PBT caps that was included which is of much higher quality than the crap ABS that was included on the MX Brown boards.
Anyway at first I was quite worry about the weight of the switches, I can still tell that it's much heavier than MX Brown but after using it for awhile your fingers will get used to it in no time and you'll probably grow to prefer it.
About your question no, this drop doesn't have none back-lit option nor does it have MX Brown, just get the K Brown if you're really interest in Tactile non clicky, it's still a great value with back-lit and I'm sure you'll really like the board when using it for the first time.
