The main housing is made of metal and is really good quality! It's heavier than expected but that doesn't bother me, if anything it's a positive. It looks & feels great. Maybe a tad noisy but not too bad, not loud enough to be annoying.
I purchased the training keyboard and I love how you easily see the English and the Elvish letters. I use it for 8+ hours a day for work and wouldn't want to go back to my old Dell keyboard.
The keyboard, which I purchased as a gift for my husband, has a real heft to it. It feels very sturdy and the keys have a very solid clack, and the key set is really cool. He is a big LotR fan and he loves using it, so it was a very well received gift. I highly recommend this keyboard.
Positives: Very solid, fast response, and yet...compared to my Leopold, it's just not right. It's not elevated/angled properly, making your fingers struggle more going to non-home row keys.
Very happy with the overall quality of this keyboard, nice and heavy and the caps feel great! Also love the elvish design! Postage took quite a while to get to AUS but was worth the wait.
I have some issues, but let me start by saying this keyboard is very pretty, reasonable enough in price, and feels good. That said, nitpicks:
An option for english legends with elvish sublegends would be very welcome for those who aren't touch typists - not knowing for sure that he was increased the risk of the gift not working out. Conversely I think an option with either no english legends or entirely side printed legends would be great for a cleaner look.
I think the orange accent keys look significantly more saturated and a little mismatched relative to the green keys than in the photos.
The sound is... Decent. Pretty pingy, but not intolerably so. Fairly loud, louder than is my preference - maybe a 7/10 on the loudness scale for non-clicky boards. Stabilizers were really quite good on my unit, though.
Hotswappable switches or switch options would be good.
Lastly, just a matter of personal taste, the keycap profile didn't really do it for me. I found the edge of these to be uncomfortably harsh/sharp, particular the edge closest to the typist, and far preferred my cherry keycaps.
You could do better for the price for a keyboard, but not a LotR themed one - if you want that theming, this is a solid choice (fortunately, since it's the only choice I know of!)
