seems to be one of the cheaper mechanical keyboard and it looks pretty decent.

just wondering if the company has got any dogdy rep or if there's a main reason for the keyboard being a bit cheaper.

Well when I was shopping for my mechanical keyboard the other forum users just told me to spend and not to be thrifty about it. Mainly because mechanical keyboards are meant to be very durable and to last for years, they said that spending the extra cash for the quality is a good investment.

In my opinion the most important thing you want to consider might be what kinda colour keys do you want to get for your keyboard, since different keys need different force to push the keys down and have a different springy feel. A very good guide is here:

Like if you don't want your fingers to hurt from extended gaming or typing sessions you might want to go for Red or Brown keys, since they require less force to push down. I feel they are "softer" on the fingers.

If you are a person with stronger hands and fingers and you want to feel the keystrokes better. Black or Blue keys might be more suitable for you.

Sometimes the weight of the keyboard might also be a factor. Like do you prefer a lighter keyboard so that its easier to carry around to LAN gaming sessions, or do you prefer a heavier metal reinforced keyboard so that it stays put on your desk as you are furiously typing?
