CODE 61-Key Illuminated Mechanical Keyboard with White LED Backlighting - Cherry MX Blue

Build Quality:I've had this keyboard for a few days now. I was surprised by how heavy it is. Still light enough to be portable, but the weight definitely gives it a premium feel. The rubber feet on the bottom don't let this thing slide at all once it's on your desk. Because the PCB and Case is the same as the P0k3r, you can easily replace the case with any customer Pok3r case.Switches:They are standard Cherry MX Blue switches. I have never used a clicky switch before, but knew i wanted one this time around. I was having a hard time deciding between the Blues and the Greens. I ended up going with Blues because they are more popular, so i will be able to buy almost any other keyboard I'm interested in with them. I was also afraid that if i got used to a heavier switch like Greens, i would have trouble on other keyboards with lighter switches or membranes. Having used blue for a few days now, I can safely say I'm enjoying them. I still occasionally wish i could try MX greens, but I'm able to type pretty well on the Blues, so I'm content. Note: you will bottom out often when typing on blues, but that's not a bad thing necessarily. If that will bother you, get greens. Also get greens if your a hunt and peck typist. Blues are for those of us who use home-row touch typing.Key caps:The caps are standard ABS caps with a UV coating. I personally like the shininess of the caps on this board. However, I think ABS double-shots would have been much better for durability. Fortunately, since it has Cherry Switches, you can find plenty of replacement key cap sets.Layout:This is my first 60% board and I am coming from a full size layout. I skipped right over the TKL layout because i found the 60% really attractive and it leaves plenty of room for my mouse! I'm a big gamer, so this is important. It will take some time for me to get used to the FN keys and layers, but i see myself loving it once I learn the shortcuts. Your hands don't even have to lift off the keyboard for anything (so nice). I do not miss my full size board. If the FN key is too awkward for you to reach, you can flip the third dip switch to make Caps Lock function as the FN key too. I found this to be my favorite option. Who uses Caps Lock anyway?Back-lighting:It's back-lighting: It's white, it works, it has three modes (fade, static, reactive), and 7 brightness levels. Only complaint is it has a high pitched buzz at max brightness, but I don't use max brightness (it's way too bright).So, should you get this board? Yes, if....-You want a Pok3r but you live in the US (They are literally just re branded Pok3rs with WASD Code branding and support)-You want plain white back lighting-You want a classic clicky switch-You want customization options-You want to save desk space-Just get this board. You will thank me.Note: Older versions of this board had crappy wire stabilizers on larger keys. Although there is no way to tell online, these boards have the newer cherry stabilizers (much better).

So i ordered this keyboard to have it Incorporated into a project i was working on, and now I just use this keyboard. I like the size of it, and the clicky keys. The only thing is it takes some time to get used to but after some time it is the best. looking into getting some cool key caps.
