rextank12From what I could find online before I bought, 60% cases that aren't made specifically for this board will partially cover the DIP switches, and it lacks a programming layer that the Poker series of keyboards has. That's about all that affects me and it didn't change my mind. Someone else will have to speak up for anything else.

rextank12Since you asked, some of the common complaints are:
- lack of programability - the keycaps are terrible, which is extremely common on a backlit board, but due to the LED placement on this finding acceptable replacements can be tough. That is, assuming you care about the legends shining through. - The dual backlighting is cool, but it is either one Color or the other, you can't mix them. - If you purchase an after market case on some of these one of the 6 DIP switches will be covered. (This is pretty much a non issue if you ask me)
This is generally regarded as a great 60% option and some or all of these cons may not matter at all to you. Most of them don't matter at all to me. I have owned 2 of these and have enjoyed them both - One with MX Blacks and another with Matias switches. Of the two I prefer the Matias QC V60 since it doesn't have the back lighting and the issues associated with it. However the Matias one has an additional weirdism in that there are no screw holes available for proper mounting in a typical 60% case.

InanisThank you so much.
Honestly I just need a better feel then my laptop. I could care less about the lighting. Of the key caps. I just need the MX swiches feel. I got clear because it's the lightest I could find for a good price. The keybord is also a all enough for my tiny desk so that's a plus.
Programibility is nothing to me really I can get a small external keypad for that.
