Obviously there are better mechanical keyboards out there, but I don't think you'll find one for less than $30 better than this. I went with the blue switches because I am personally a fan of clicky switches. Following are my pros and cons PROS -Affordable as hell, seriously if you have the money to buy a crappy membrane keyboard then you have the money to buy one of these - Ergonomic design. The back rows of keys are slightly higher than the lower rows which make for a very comfortable and easy to type on design. I usually take a few days to adapt to a new keyboard but this one just felt good right off the bat. - Consistent and decent quality switches. I've used cheaper keyboards before and they usually have some QC issues with some switches having a completely different feel from others, but everything is consistent and feels the same on this one. CONS - The switches sound a bit "twangy". There is a higher pitch sound to the switches that other blue's don't suffer from. This was mitigated by sticking a few adhesive foam pads inside the PCB tray, but without the foam the switches were kind of annoying, and I've been using various blues for 10 years now. -Variances in the different colored key caps. The keyboard comes with some red and black keycaps to replace the default grey ones, and they sound difference is STARK. The red caps sound light and metallic, while the blacks sound heavy and thuddy. I replaced the default grey space bar with a red one and it has a very very obvious sound difference from the rest of the keys. -It's not hotswapable, the entire PCB is soldered and doing any kind of customization is nearly impossible.
