Consumer review (newegg.com)

Space Bar Is Junk

Space bar just feels sticky and or poor quality especially compared to the rest of the keys. Would not buy again or recommend to anyone.

All of the single switch keys feel amazing and have a great sound

The space key is horrible; it only responds correctly when press towards center, if you try to use just a corner it makes the opposite switch stick and usually doesn't register as a strike

Best keyboard I have ever used

I have owned Microsoft, Logitech, and Keytronic keyboards and most recently a Steelseries 6Gv2 and I can say this is the best of them all. Since the Steelseries 6Gv2 is the closest for comparison, and similar in price, I would pick this keyboard over...

I have owned quite a few keyboards over the years and I can tell you this one takes the cake. Very light keystroke, highly responsive, and has a very high-end feel with the rubber coating on the wrist wrest and frame. Heavy. Long and thick cable with...

Absolutely NONE

Great for the price

I absolutely adore this keyboard. It's a huge step up from my old rubber dome keyboard, and I don't think I'll ever use anything other than mechanical keys from now on.

Price ; Cherry MX Brown switches ; Weight - feels nice and sturdy

Only one - The spacebar is a pain to reattach if you take it off

Great entry level mechanical keyboard

I have always enjoyed the old school Buckle Spring keyboards by IBM, but I haven't owned one in years, so the cherry switches were a little new to me. It felt "weird" typing on it at first, but after using it for just a little, when I go back to a...

I wanted cherry brown switches for a mix of gaming/typing, and so far, it's been great. It feels plenty sturdy/durable. I like the keyboard layout (ANSI). Comes with a wrist pad/wrist wrest. Full NKRO. My ghosting/shorting issues have been greatly...

It doesn't have a lot of fluff or features like backlit keys or USB hub, but I don't really care for all of that anyway, and certainly wouldn't expect it at this price point ; I do occassionally get some keys to short out (in fast paced combat, if you...

Wonderful

I use a Das Keyboard at home and couldn't switch back to a membrane switch keyboard at work, so I ordered this. I still can't decide which of the two I like more. While my Das Keyboard is prettier and its keys are slightly nicer to press (in my...

Solid design ; Stylish enough ; Comfortable rubbery texture to the body/hand rest

Best starter's mechanical keyboard

Arguably the best low budget mechanical keyboard on Newegg. Although lacking in multimedia features, the Xarmor u9 has it where it counts. Cherry MX brown keyswitches: Great for people who enjoy gaming and typing on the same keyboard/computer. Laser...

Very heavy keyboard. This won't budge unless you want it to ; Solid design. None of the keys are lose ; Rugged looking num/scroll/caps lock display, with bright backlighting on them ; Comes included with a wrist wrest that is similarly rugged looking,...

No multimedia keys, e.g. volume control or a calculator hotkey (extremely useful for any math or science homework.) ; Not a big deal if you don't use them already, but this is one area that the keyboard doesn't match up with other keyboards ; Also, no...

Fall in Love with Mechanical Switches

You can't beat this keyboard for the price. Other keyboards with the Cherry Browns (or other mechanical switches) have some more frills or features; but this keyboard has a nice, clean layout. The soft matte black finish feels wonderful under your...

No Frills ; You can see where the USB ports _would_ go were they included

Top-Notch Entry-Level Mechanical Keyboard

After quite a bit of research, I decided to pick up the Xarmor U9 board. While I've only used a few mechanical keyboards, this is by far the best example. Cherry browns give a satisfying click, and require very little tactile force to depress them ;...

Not really a con, but there's cutouts for USB ports that would have been a nice additional touch
