This keyboard is absolutely nice. It's really heavy, and the extra PBT keys look really nice and durable, although the four (top right) shortcut keys are missing from this set and the lock keys do not have any transparent section to see the status light.
I'm mostly using Linux, and I like that the Windows logo is replaced by a duck here; this is more impartial (even though a duck is biologically closer to a penguin than to a window I guess).
I love the way they built the 9008 G2, the metal bar mechanism for long keys being under the surface, which makes it really easy to replace a key (compared to Das Keyboards, for example). The MX blue switches feel as good as with the Das Keyboard, but are not too loud, which is perfect since I'm currently using this at work.
Also, the detachable USB cord is always welcome, with a standard mini-USB connector.
Buy this if you want a durable, quality mechanical keyboard.
