UPDATE - WAS a great keyboard (when it worked properly), software is "meh"
UPDATE: I still, for the most part, stand by my previous review below. BUT, unfortunately, my W key is now starting to give out, forcing me to push it down all the way in order for it to register the key (instead of the slight presses needed typically), so half of the time when I press it it doesn't even go through (it's frustrating to type this and have my W's go missing). If you PC game, you know this a huge issue because the W key is one of the most used keys in gaming. I really loved this keyboard before this but now I wish I had bought something that would have lasted more than just the year this one has, especially considering how much I paid for it. It's disappointing to say the least. My previous review continues below:I will say first off that this is a gorgeous keyboard. This is my first gaming keyboard and I'm glad it doesn't look cheap or clunky like a some gaming keyboards do. I did a lot of looking around before picking this bad boy before it was released.I went with the Brown switches since I'm not a big fan of really loud and clicky keyboards. I feel that the switches are great quality and up to par, and they aren't very loud for a gaming keyboard although you could likely still annoy a nearby roommate with these.The frameless design is great and looks nice and clean. The lighting has a wide spectrum of colors that you can choose from and the effects are really cool (I love showing the keyboard off with the ripple effect on since that one tends to blow people away). The lighting isn't blinding, so if you're into that sort of thing you may want to look elsewhere, but it is bright enough to show off the great colors that the keyboard is capable of displaying. The cable is long enough and braided.I will say though that one complaint I have is that the Swarm software isn't very good in my opinion. It's simple but doesn't offer a whole lot of customization options when it comes to assigning keys and stuff like that. Someone mentioned the Game Mode key being a joke and I kind of agree just because you can't really customize it in the Swarm software (or if you can I haven't figured out how to do that yet). It is handy to be able to hit it and deactivate the windows key but for some reason in some of the modes I pick using the Game Mode key turns off all typing as well. I'm assuming this is something that'll be worked out in the updates though, so I'm not really concerned about it.Overall, if you want a beautiful keyboard with great lighting effects and responsive keys, this is the keyboard for you! Your friends will envy you, I know mine do ;)

I may or may not be a Roccat fan boy.
I bought this keyboard because I loved the minimalistic design and I got it to replace my Roccat Ryos MK Pro which is really bulky and I am not into that thing anymore. There are a couple of things you should know about this keyboard since it isn't everything that you seen in the pictures and discription.First off, just in case you are worried about it, this is a QWERTY style keyboard unlike in what the picture shows. Another thing to keep in mid is the enter button, it isn't that big bulky mess like in the pictures provided, instead it is the standard 2 slot bar that I am used to.The keyboard has a great feel and the switches feel great, they are a lot like browns so if you are used to that this keyboard is for you. This thing feels like a TKL in comparison to my other keyboard which is a plus since I still have all the features from a full keyboard macros and all. It is light weight and slim and the base is about half the size as the key caps. This thing is pretty much unusable unless you use the pull out legs in the back because it would slide around way too much but the legs that are provided are probably the best I have ever seen. They stick even when a decent amount of force is applied from punching the side. If you are going for a full black with blue LED setup I would be cautious of this though. It is a nice teal color that I like but it doesn't go with the standard blues that you might see else where. All together I would say that this is an amazing keyboard and would pick it up if you are looking for one that is minimalistic.

LOVE IT
I absolutely love this keyboard. This is my first mechanical keyboard and I decided to stick with the roccat brand since I had a roccat kone pure. The other roccat keyboards all seemed to big and I was looking for something smaller and this worked perfectly. I love the feel of the ttc brown keys. The keys also stay pretty quit and the metel frame design is so nice. The only downside to this keyboard in my opinion is that it doesn't come with an wrist rest, and after awhile your wrist will hurt. Luckily I had one from one of my old membrane keyboards so it worked out. If you were to get this keyboard I would fully recommend it, but I would also purchase a wrist rest for the keyboard as well. I hope this helped. Thanks.

This was a great keyboard for gaming
This was a great keyboard for gaming. However, if you plan to put lots of time to play game (especially FPS) this is not a keyboard for you.My "W" and "A" button started to stop responding a week ago (yeah I play FPS a lot), about 5 months after I bought the keyboard. I don't know how, but I seem to have used those buttons more than 50 million times.Overall, if you plan to spend more than 7 hours to play FPS, this is not a keyboard for u.

... a big fan of brown keys and ROCCAT's feel great to use
I am a big fan of brown keys and ROCCAT's feel great to use. The board also looks fantastic with the RGB options and I love the semi-minimalist aesthetic of the board, but unfortunately have had too many problems with it to recommend it to anyone. I purchased one last year only to have several of the keys fail to recognize inputs. After sending it in for RMA, I received a replacement only for it to fail a few months later.

Being able to individually light keys with different colors is a nice feature that I use
No complaints really, but I haven't used this keyboard with Linux yet. I was afraid to buy any peripherals other than logitech, but I took a chance since the software is supposed to be Linux friendly. When I saw that it doesn't have the windows symbol on it I knew it was the keyboard for me. Maybe its just my luck, but I think the switch from my my 10 year old logitech g15 to this suora fx has upped my CSGO game a little. The main reason I wanted a different keyboard was to get back some real estate on my desk. This keyboard is basically as small of a frame as you can get with a full size key layout. Being able to individually light keys with different colors is a nice feature that I use, but figuring out how was a bit of a pain.

Keyboard looked and felt nice. Some of the buttons stopped working after a couple of weeks of use. After doing some reading about different switch types, it seems the TTC switches used in this keyboard are among the lowest quality Cherry MX clones, and are not as good as those found in any other keyboard in this price range.

Worth the risk
Definitely met my expectations, 10/10 would buy from Roccat again. Was skeptical at first as it’s not the most common of keyboards brands, but would never go back. The keyboard font is perfect, smaller and simple, and the software does exactly what I want it to do and more. The brown switches weren’t available anywhere else but on Amazon, and they work and feel perfect.
