Why are you waiting?! Stop waiting! BUY ONE! BUY FOUR! BUY A CRATE!
Look. I am picky as hell with my keyboards. If it isn't a Model M, the best you'll get out of me is a "meh." And let's be honest - this keyboard has flaws. The keycaps are absolutely terrible. And... uh, yeah. That's it. Seriously. That is the entire list of cons from a guy with multiple Model M's and DK9008G2's.These are the same switches you'll find in Thermaltake Poseidons, Das Keyboards, and yes, Razer too. Kailh might be a clone, but they got the message and their quality is top notch. Cherry, I know I'll have at least two duds - zero duds here. Consistency is perfect. Stabilizers are Cherry style and well lubricated - no cheaping out with Costar wire junk here! And this thing is so solidly build - it's over 2 pounds and is suitable as a melee weapon! Dominate the battlefield - and then go type a novel.It's better than keyboards that cost twice as much. It's better than keyboards that cost THREE TIMES AS MUCH because it doesn't ping!But seriously, the keycaps are the worst ever. Since you just saved over fifty bucks, spoil yourself with the Mercedes-Benz of keycaps - doubleshot PBT - and still spend less than you would on any competing keyboard.

Keys began to fail after 7 months so can not recommend.
Unfortunately the longevity and durability of this product is lacking. After 7 months several of the keys not working, primary example being the shift key. Also delay in typing and signal reaching the computer caused by this keyboard device.Left the original review below this line.Great compact keyboard. Compared to other mechanical keyboards can not beat the price. Based on longevity and durability time will tell if it deserves 5 stars. Only bad thing I can say is it is a little loud when typing but hey it is a mechanical keyboard.

Solid keyboard for the price. Just replace those damned keycaps.
I managed to grab this on it's lowest drop at $42.50. And I'm glad I did.So I'm not a huge mechanical keyboard fanatic. I don't have Model Ms or Pok3rs or any of that sort. But I still know my stuff. Previously, I had a Razer Blackwidow Ultimate 2013(MX Blues), Nixeus Moda V1(Kailh Browns), and Logitech G910(Omron Romer-G). I ended up gifting my BW Ultimate to a relative, and sold the Nixeus Moda V1 because I found out browns weren't for me. I had the G910, and I thought that was good enough for me. That was true, until I began to miss the clicky-ness of the blue switches.I headed over to PcPartPicker and dawdled over the lists of mechanical keyboards there, and I found this hidden gem at a steal of $42. This was before a lot of the other TKL keyboards, such as the Redragon ones, were out and popular.The keyboard itself is built pretty well. It seems that most of the tenkeyless keyboards use the same outer case mould, with the two(in this case, blue) LEDs for caps and scroll lock) and otherwise simple casing. The keyboard has nice rubber feet, and even the pop-out feet in the back are covered in rubber. It's got a steel plate, making the keyboard super rigid.The switches feel a lot more consistent than my previous Kailh keyboard, the Nixeus Moda V2. On that keyboard, I could feel which keys has less tactile feedback when typing regularly. On this keyboard, it's extremely difficult to tell. I do think that these Kailh Blues are slightly less tactile than their Cherry MX counterparts, though. The cable is of a rather thick rubber, and can be rerouted through the left, middle, or right channels which are underneath the keyboard. I do wish this cable was detachable, but at this price point I probably can let that slide. If you do pick up a grifti tenkeyless keyboard case for this, having the attached wire is kind of a pain in the butt. It works though.The KEYCAPS though.Man, they're some pretty low quality stuff. It's cheap ABS plastic, and you can feel it. I'm fine with cheap keycaps as long as they work. The real killer though is the printing. It's some sort of white print which is on top of the keycap itself, and if you type or game a lot, it'll easily show signs of wear or even rub off in a mere week. Thankfully, this keyboard uses a standard layout and standard cherry stabilizers, so you can easily pick up any ansi keycap set for Cherry MX switches and swap out the stock keycaps. I bought some front-printed PBT keycaps from GeekKeys for about $30. It was a bit of a hard buy considering the price of the keyboard, but they've held up extremely well. They have a matte/rough texture, as with most PBT keycaps, which feels lovely to type on. Front print also means that the legends will technically never wear out since you don't type on them. I put up a picture of the keyboard with the keycaps if you want to see how they look.I've been using this keyboard daily since october/november 2015, and it's still going strong. No failed switches, no double-clicking of any sort. I play a TON of FPS, and this keyboard has withstood my mad WASD mashing when rocketjumping in TF2. I also love the size of the keyboard. My XXL mousepad has even more space and both of my hands are closer together when gaming, which results in a more comfortable gaming session.

Broke after 1 year
After exactly one year it broke, 2 keys don't register anymore correctly. It is useless, I own a mechanical with cherries, it is 4 years old and still works as new. If you want to try mechanical keyboards this is a good choice because is cheap, if you want to use it for longer time look elsewhere.

Good company, good product.
Edit: I was disappointed to find that the right shift key started working inconsistently after about 18 months and I had to replace the keyboard. For the price I expected to get more use out of this, but maybe some users will be happy with that.Adesso products are always reliable and this one is no exception. Keys are a little noisy which doesn't bother me.

Great board, greater price
The keyboard is absolutely wonderful. Coming from an old Dell rubber dome keyboard, the difference I experienced was night and day. The switches all work, all feel wonderful, and the board is just darn well constructed. Smaller than my full size, so I have a bit more desk space. The price is fantastic, it is certainly a giant killer in that regard. I would certainly recommend this thing to anyone looking to get into the wonderful world of mechanical keyboards.

Cherry MX Blues are nice
I bought this for AutoCAD so I would feel like I was really punching in commands instead of just typing them. This keyboard does that perfectly. I have been using it about a week and see no issues so far. This is my first keyboard with Cherry MX switches, so I don't have anything to compare it to. But I like it. I am typing this review on it and it is so loud I feel like I have tinnitus after a while. Much less expensive that other mechanical keyboards and has a nice weight to it.

Uno de los mejores teclados mecánicos a un excelente precio
En un principio pensé que debido al bajo precio de este teclado mecánico sería de baja calidad, sin embargo después de varias semanas de uso debo decir que estoy impresionado.Los switchs son imitación de Cherry MX Red, sin embargo habiendo probado los originales solo puedo decir, FUNCIONAN IGUAL DE BIEN, la calidad es impresionante, cuentA con N-rollover para no perder ningún carácter cuando se presionan varias teclas al mismo tiempo, sobra decir QUE ESTO ES UNA MARAVILLA EN VIDEOJUEGOS y para trabajo de oficina es excelente también.En lo particular a mi me gustan los teclados mecánicos ruidosos, el sonido de las teclas junto con su sensibilidad mecánica me relaja, pero entiendo que varios les puede parecer molesto, si es así, les recomiendo compren un paquete de "O-Rings", son pequeños aros de plástico que se insertan bajo cada tecla reduciendo el ruido considerablemente, Teclas de doble tiro mecánico Rose se 104 teclas con tirador para teclados mecánicos, rojo (rikc-13004) , en cuanto a calidad de construcción este teclado es excelente, PESA BASTANTE y no se "tironea" con el movimiento, tal y como lo dijo un cliente en la pagina americana de Amazon, "Puedes utilizarlo como arma melee en un apocalipsis zombie y despues usarlo para escribir una novela". ULTRA RECOMENDADO. Teclas de doble tiro mecánico Rose se 104 teclas con tirador para teclados mecánicos, rojo (rikc-13004)

Gran teclado mecánico por su precio
Ya tengo cerca de un mes que compré este teclado mecánico y sin duda no me ha dado ninguna decepción durante este tiempo.Me atreví a comprar este teclado debido a las buenas críticas que tenia en la página y sin duda ha demostrado el porque de sus buenas calificaciones.Es un teclado con replica de cherry azul, pero sin duda tiene la sensación de un teclado mecánico de marca su sonido es bastante agradable y ademas de que cuenta con hasta 6 teclas que puedes utilizar al mismo tiempo.Ventajas-Precio-Sensación de buena calidad-6 teclas al mismo tiempo-Tecla que deshabilita la tecla Windows (bastante comódo al momento de jugar)-Tamaño, es un teclado "pequeño" y por lo mismo portableContras-No retroiluminación (si te trabajaso juegas con luz en la noche pues no es ninguna desventaja)-Cable USB fijo, no es posible separar el cable usb-Impresión de teclas de no la mejor calidad, pero pues no importan tanto en mi caso.
