Good keyboard, be aware that a 40% takes getting used to for typing / coding.

PROS:* Dedicated arrow and pgup/pgdn keys. (quite rare on 40%'s) I think.* Affordable. Most 40's are in the expensive specialty market.CONS:* Lack of a way to program the key layout. Of course this can be done to some extent in OS software, but there isn't AFAIK a way to move the fn keys as this key does not generate a keycode.* No numpad layerNEUTRAL:*monochrome (blue) LEDs, not RGB. I'm not into a lot of fancy bling on my kbd, so this doesn't bother me at all.TIP: use a typing tutor program or website to learn the symbol keys even if you already know how to touch type. Isolating symbols and getting them into muscle-memory one-by-one really helped me.I am coming from a thinkpad (membrane) keyboard, and do not use this kbd for gaming. The initial appeal of this keyboard was a youTube review stating that 40% keyboards are analogous to using vim as a text editor. I was sick of reaching and missing with my pinky for common coding symbols like quotations, backslash, and pipes (|).I suspect it will take several days to get used to this 40% form factor. I've been using it for a couple of hours, and I am starting to enjoy it a lot more, so I'd suggest giving it some time. That said, I think my preferred layout would be a 60%, with dedicated number keys. None of this is the fault of the keyboard. It's well built and feels good under the fingers. It's my first mechanical, so I can't compare the switches to outemu or cherry, but it feels fine to me.I am not fully used to the split, left-side only space bar (I sometimes try to press space with the left thumb and as a result mywordsruntogether). While I thought I'd enjoy having the parens and brackets on or close to the home row, my first impression is that I don't like chording (pressing fn-shift-key) for shifted symbols. At present the layout is over-using my left hand, because I am using the left thumb for both space and fn.In any case these are all expected growing pains of getting used to a 40% layout, so I'm not holding it against the keyboard.Key programability would be nice on a keyboard like this, and that's the main thing that's missing.Overall, this seems like a perfectly good keyboard for the price, just make sure that what you want is a 40% and that if it's your 1st 40%, give it a couple of days to get used to.

Love this. Sold out or I’d buy more.

The layout feels natural and it is as functional as I need it to be. I love 40% keyboards and this one is awesome!Edit:I love this so much I got another one. The first one still works but I didn’t want to miss the chance to get more than one. I’ll probably get a third when I can.

Great keyboard, but be prepared to re-learn some typing.

A neat little 40% keyboard. It's size is great for cramped workspaces, it has a detachable cable (so no worry about wearing out the cable if you like to take it with you), and the Gateron switches seem to be pretty robust (many of the other cheaper Magicforce keyboards use Outemu switches which I've had bad luck with).This isn't a con, since it's a fact of life for any 40% keyboard, but be prepared to have to re-learn some typing. Like many other 40% boards, this has no number row - you type numbers by using the FN key. Same goes for the F keys themselves. Many other common symbol and punctuation keys are also moved to the FN layer.That being said, of the various 40% boards I've tried, this one seems to have the least amount of compromise in the layout. It still manages to have a full inverted-T arrow key set. When you do need to press key sequences (e.g. Alt+F4), the keys are all nicely positioned so you can even press complex keystrokes with relative ease. For example, to do Alt+F4 you press Alt, FN (next to Alt), and Z (F4 is on the Z key).If you can ignore your muscle memory and are OK with dealing with having to look at the keyboard to type common symbols, give it a try. I'm actually using it on my home server where I don't need to sit and type a lot and where the mini size fits much better in the cramped corner the server is in.

Odd but amazing

This thing is great and beautiful. Very weird at first but you get used to it and end up preferring it to older keyboards

Nice keyboard. I couldn’t get past the tiny space bar

Good fit and finish. Sounds good, looks very nice, light is bright but controllable. I just can’t get over the arrangement of some of the space bar. It’s very small so I constantly miss it. It slowed my typing down to a grandma level. I can confirm that cherry keys fit on it fine
