I like it. I don't love it, but I like it well enough.
Pros: 1. LEDs look pretty sweet. The acrylic diffuser is a bit better at evenly distributing the light than the K-Type.
2. Halo Clear switches make me regret getting Halo Trues before. Feels like I'm typing on a quiet typewriter, and it's delightful.
3. Stabilizers are really nice - clearly lessons learned from the K-Type.
Gripes: 1. The feet were probably good in theory. In practice, they're infuriating. Aesthetically they're great, but heaven forbid I should want to scoot my computer more than half a centimeter in any direction without lifting it. One of them will always fall off if I try - I'm seriously considering glue.
2. I thought it was bricked when it came - immediately plugged it into a few computers, and it wouldn't register any keystrokes. The LEDs would flash two or three times, and then it would disconnect... re-flashing it worked, but it was a nightmare to get it to flash properly with a new layout. I haven't tried the configurator yet - it wasn't out when I'd gotten the board.
3. I feel like the color wasn't what I was promised - I bought this mostly because it looked like a black version of the K-Type. It's darker, and the color is definitely nice, but it's not what I had in mind when I bought it. I do like the space gray, but I would have LOVED it closer to black instead.
All in all - it's not bad. It feels nice and solid (aside from the feet), and it's a good keyboard. Not sure that I would buy it again.
