The keyboard overall is excellent, it looks fantastic and the response from the Cherry Reds is excellent. Bear in mind some keys aren't mechanical, the F keys and block of keys with Delete, it hasn't been any sort of issue for me though. The build quality of it is great, it's pretty heavy making it nice and sturdy and all the keys are laser etched so the letters won't ever rub off.
The media keys are nice and simple and work well as intended. The G keys are nice and useful too, although I've used them more for things such as photoshop hotkeys than in games. Also they're placed on a plane below the normal keys which means you're much less likely to accidently press them instead of another key.
Overall it's everything I wanted from a premium mechanical keyboard.

Oh I just got Dota2, CS:GO, Dead Space 2 & Plant's vs Zombies for under £9... Can't be bad?
Where'd you get that?

Something I want to know about the macro keys, how are they overall? Have you found any compatability issues with certain programs? And how well does the on the fly recording work?

The only program I've had issues with the macros with so far is Teamspeak, I'm not sure why but I'll make a key combo as a hotkey for certain commands and the macro just won't work for it but it does for other commands, very strange and the fault seems to be with ts.
The on the fly recording works pretty well, although for a pretty complex macro I'm not quite sure but it's worked without needing editing for all my commands so far.

So you've not experienced any problems with it on games?

Nope, all good on the games I've tried it on which include CSS, Dota2, SC2 and Tribes.
