My first custom board and I must say I'm very impressed for only $142. Big step up from my Ducky. The frame is a large sized chunk of well machined aluminum and It's has to be one the heaviest keyboards I've ever picked up and it's only 65%. The purple is very bright and lovely looks almost pink. Inside there are 5 layers of foam to help dampen although some may say they don't do much due to integrated frame but I wouldn't know and I think it sounds fantastic. To my pleasant surprise the LEDS are actually south facing and not north facing like the picture shows. They shine great under my solid keycaps and with the included optional acrylic frame bottom you can have ground effects! Overall very pleased to get this solid board at such a great price. Great first custom keyboard.
