I've quite enjoyed this keyboard and it feels exceptional for me to type on and its TKL style, which I bought it for, gives me better hand and shoulder positions for gaming.
The thing that bothers me, is that it is not a true UK layout.
The 'return' key is shorter and the upper half is the hash key. This makes me miss the return key about 25% of the time. I should probably learn to type better, but as all the other keyboards I interact with do not have this problem, it's a little hard to adapt.
The backslash key is also completely missing.
I've had to use AutoHotKey to reprogram some of the upper right shortcuts to reproduce this.
Luckily I mostly use that key at work rather than at home, but I'm sure that'll be an issue for others.

I've also attached a photo of the keyboard. Be aware, I've intentionally removed the F1 key, because I use F2 constantly and it gets in the way as there's no longer a gap between Esc and the function keys. Also, its use in most programs brings up the 'Help', which I rarely require.

Like when I researched gaming mice, I didn't know where to start. Reviews for keyboards where very fragmented and I didn't know which one to pick.

I did know I wanted a mechanical keyboard though, something durable and more geared to gaming (but not with flashy lights and a million pointless buttons).

This was one of the cheapest mechanical keyboards I could find and matched the colour scheme of my system.

Typing feels very natural and gaming feels more precise than most keyboards I have used.

It hasn't had some of the problems I have read people have had, so I'm completely satisfied with the product.

Ok so now I have one issue. When I go to make a capital S using the shift key it doesn't recognize this is causing me many problems like typo's etc. I like the keyboard and if you are getting a mechanical keyboard for the first time then this is a brilliant keyboard! It is also only 75% of a full keybaord meaning no Number Pad which is annoying @ first if you have a full keyboard already. This keyboard definitely needs some getting used to but once you have gotten used to it, the satisfying Red Kailh switch clicking sound is amazing! I hope I helped decide whether to buy it!

Compact and item arrived 1 day after ordering. Pretty fast for a free delivery. This also has some good additional shortcut buttons.

However within a month of use some buttons like q,c,cntrl are not responsive, sometimes I get annoyed and just smash the buttons for it to work...... Product not recommended. If you have any suggestions for alternative keyboards or any quick fix please reply..... Ty

Update:
Space bar totally not working. I have to press 3 or more times just to make a space.....

Bit of a curate's egg, and depends where you are starting from...
I bought this for my wife's PC, she is ex-professional data entry and so is used to mechanical keyboards. My own keyboard is a Corsair K70 with Cherry Brown switches.
If I compare it with the Corsair I'd make the following observations:
- The keys feel softer. I believe they are meant to be equivalent to Cherry Blue so that may be right;
- They are quite clackety if they bottom out, but my wife doesn't type like that (I do!):
-- Standard key pullers fit, and so do standard O rings, so you can dampen the keys (and do a deep clean!);
- Build quality is truly mediocre:
-- The key caps show the little pip where they are pulled off the sprue;
-- The printing is a bit blurry, especially the Windows key which is almost a solid blob;
-- The red backing plate is weirdly grubby, looks like glue has attracted dust to it (so I shall pull off the keys and clean it);
- But the unit is solid, doesn't flex;
- No palm rest, and the body is quite tall (about 1 inch, 2.5 cm) so may be tiring for long sessions;
- Overall design is "stealth", all those clunky angles designed to make the keyboard invisible to hostile targets... But my wife didn't scream in horror so it can't be that bad!
- The red backplate is more of a dull orange, not especially pretty for a domestic keyboard but not too garish either;
- Quick keys on top right for internet, email, and volume control are generally useful;
- BUT BUT BUT: my K70 was £170 (albeit it lights up in 64,000 colours!), the Zalman is £35.

So, it's designed down to a price, but functionally it's a very good keyboard for that price. I give it 4 stars only because the final touches are missing.

Great mechanical keyboard. Very responsive,.

People keep taking a start off because of the lack of backslash and pipe keys, which can annoy as it isn't very clear in the description they are missing. Please be aware you can access them like so on the keyboard without mapping tools

ctrl+alt+# = \
ctrl+alt+shift+# = |

Not terribly user friendly but it's better to have them available than struggling without them. I am programmer and have slowly got used to using the above methods for the 2 missing keys, I'm not the biggest fan of key mapping.
