I write code all day and have been struggling with the Apple keyboard's arrow keys which have half-sized up and down arrows. It's very hard to find a good, compact keyboard with full-sized arrow keys. I was also excited to get home, end, page up and page down keys back in my life. Albeit a new layout, but something I can hopefully get used to.
After a day of typing, I'd say I'm 90% transitioned from the very low profile Apple keys to these higher keys. After a week, I think I'll be totally comfortable.
I'm really impressed with the build quality of this keyboard. It has a nice weight and feels super solid overall. And typing again on a clickity clack keyboard is so much more fun and satisfying. One concern is that it's definitely more effort to type on - not sure if that will have any negative impact on my hands/wrists in the long term.
I tested the brown vs the red and I found the red to feel mushy. The brown gives a good sort of lumpy/clicky feedback. I did not try the blue and I think I might enjoy blue's even more prominent clicky feedback but it just sounds way too loud in video demos. Red and brown are very similar sounding and both of decent volume. If you need to type quietly, none of these will be for you.
Although I have not gone through an entire battery yet, I'm apparently under 70% after 1 day of use. Compared to my Apple keyboard, which gets about 2 months of battery life, it seems I'll have to charge this about once a week. Not a deal breaker for me and somewhat expected given the LED lights.
The RBG LED lighting is fun but something I don't need. There are a TON of options on the color patterns and effects. I'm interested to see how much battery life is saved by turning the lighting off.

The downside is the lack of choice of keycaps.
Another thing is that with the blue gateron switches on this the physical audible click seems to not match the actual trigger point, or something else funny is going on. For example if I press a key down really slowly it clicks but the keystroke is not detected at the same time. This doesn't happen during normal typing and not a big of a deal but something I did notice. Comparing it to Nuphy Air75 with blue gaterons Nuphy doesn't seem to have this, at least not as pronounced.
Keycaps are nice overall. Transparent letters are nice as well, with the backlight it looks pretty.
One thing that took me some time to get used to is the gap between the keycaps. For some reason I am making more mistakes typing blindly with these. Takes conscious effort to learn the layout better. The same thing for some reason does not happen on Nuphy Air75 which has very similar physical size and keys have the same distance but the caps don't have gaps and have slightly different shape. Maybe it's the keycap shape overall that trips me. Not a big deal in general and you get used to it quickly but something noticeable at first.
I got this mainly for the feeling when typing, and if I would have tried at a store, I probably would have chosen a notch up clickier (the brown switch).
quelity materials, cap keys can be excanged Mac/Windows, light effects very cool, very comfortable keyboard. Also price is at the lowest range for this type of keyboard, but it doesn't affect quality. Great quality overall. My advice if you like a clickier feeling get the brown switch (the blue switch could be too much of a click). Get the red switch if you still want to get the mechanical feeling but a bit quieter.

My original purpose for this was to use it on bluetooth, as you can pair it to at least 3 different devices, so I would switch between my PC and Mac with one keyboard. However this didn't work because of the bluetooth not sticking, so now I just have 2 keyboards.
Otherwise, the keys are nice. It actually came with brown switches, but I don't mind them. I like that it's slim, and there are still full arrow keys but it's not super wide. It is about half an inch wider than an apple keyboard.
(Comentó todo esto para los que quieran comprar con los interruptores azules, probablemente te lleguen pero con otro tipo de interruptor) como en mi caso.

L'RGB è molto divertente e curioso.
Unico neo: la batteria dura poco.
Sono stato costretto a renderla, a malincuore, perché non riuscivo davvero ad abituarmi al layout ANSI.
