Great keyboard, pricey but worth the build quality. Own 2 of these, one at work, and one for home. Great build and quality. The tactile feel of these switches. Its really a smart keyboard.

Excellent keyboard!
Every key can be light up individually to any color. Light distribution is very good. Brightness is also good.
Aluminum top plate and hand rest are sturdy and well constructed.
The magnetic palm rest mount is nice, and attaches nicely to the keyboard.

I got one of these from the Kickstarter, extremely impressed by the switches and hardware. I find myself at a loss for what I want the notification system to do for me but it works fairly well most of the time.

Notifications annoy me a great deal, especially when it pops up in the middle of a movie viewing. I ended by removing most of them. Btw, after about 2 years looking for keyboard, I've managed to narrow it down to 3 keyboards that I like: Huntsman Elite, Hyper X RGB, The msi GK8. The Huntsman Elite is too pricey, the Hyper X has no freebies...
