There's been some negativity with some users' experiences from the last drop, so I would just like to express my views for potential buyers on the current.
Positives: So the main stigma attached to this keyboard is the Kailh switches. I went for the reds and so far have had zero issues with them. They are consistent across all keys and feel indistinguishable from the Cherry MX Red switch on the tester kit I have.
PBT keycaps- these feel great with a slight grainy texture, and the spacebar (which doesn't have the KC logo on, like in the picture) is also PBT, which is often not the case.
Removable cable! Speaks for itself.
Unique layout- Obviously this keyboard's USP is its layout. I don't think you'd be here if you didn't like it.
I've not had any issues with compatibility on Windows 7 either.
Negatives: It's a really good looking keyboard but the main gripe I have with mine is the backlighting. I paid a bit extra for it and it looks pretty bad so I keep it off.
Noticeably light- Expected for the price and this may be good for some if they want to take it around with them but for me I like something a bit more sturdy. Basically I don't think it would survive a fall onto a hardwood floor, but then again my expectations are high seeing as my other keyboard is a Filco. Not a massive issue.
That's it. I think it's a great keyboard for the price. If you're looking for something with this kind of layout I would definitely recommend it. One other thing to note is that the colour is slightly off-white.

NiftyGlad you included the photo. It's good to know that if you order the backlit version, they don't give you keycaps with translucent lettering!
