Oh hello Taz,

thank you for your kind words. It's always great to hear that my mumblings are useful to someone! :)

I do like the T15 though, but yeah, I have no need for that numpad personally! :)

Well that Acies, for me, would be too much of a gaming keyboard, but this is not about me, so, it seems to have great value, that price is hard to beat. It says blue mechanical switches, so most likely Gateron Blues, or Outemu. There are debates about wethere these are actually better or still worse than Cherry MX Blues.

Truth is, it's so subjective, if you've never had a mechanical keyboard before, you will like the tactility. If you enjoy or if you're annoyed by the clicky sounds is something you need to try out for yourself. Personally, I love clickies.

I'd say it's a great entry into mechanical keyboards for a very low price. Nothing can go wrong here I'd say. Just keep in mind that the overall experience of a mechanical keyboard is not just the switches, but also the materials that have been used, especially for the keycaps. So, if you go from that keyboard, it can only get better later on when you might want to get something more substantial! :)

Hope that helped. Thanks for reading Taz!
