Strengths:
RGB rainbow effect
Weaknesses:
The wrist rest magnet is a little weak, the material is crappy though, after like 4 months the faux leather layer is coming off, and most importantly my S and D keys paint is fading and those two keys look awful now.
Safe yourself some annoyance and buy something else.
Additional Comments:
Buy something else, the pretty colors or discount don't justify buying it IMO

Strengths:
Cheap, high quality Cherry switches, feature rich for the price point
Weaknesses:
Extremely buggy. The first one I purchased would have several keys light up incorrectly and stop responding to keypresses after a few hours of use, and the replacement drops about 1/3rd of keypresses, even when the keys are fully depressed.
Given that it's using high end switches, this has to be a problem with aData's implementation. I don't know if it's hardware or firmware, but something just doesn't work properly.
Additional Comments:
A keyboard that is very competitively priced and has a lot of premium features is only a positive when the basic functionality works. This keyboard is all polish and no quality, and is worth less than a $20 bottom of the barrel membrane keyboard because the latter actually works.

Strengths:
PRICE. Get it on sale for 80 bucks and you can't go wrong. Cherry red switches for a fraction of the price. It has like 7 presets, but XPG has a software program on their website, XPG Prime and you can customize each key for RPG. I just can't justify over 200 bucks for my Corsair K70, however Corsair did send out a key cap for free that had cracked. Thought I'd give this board a try and the wife inherited the Corsair. No regrets.
Weaknesses:
The software for custom RPG is not very intuitive, but I figured it out. It doesn't always keep the preset on reboot or putting the computer to sleep, so you have to close the program and restart it, but a minor annoyance for the price of this keyboard.
Additional Comments:
Can't go wrong if you get it on sale. Best value out there.

Strengths:
Got this on sale for $79.99, you can't go wrong with this price!! especially when it comes equipped with the Cherry MX red
Weaknesses:
Limited RGB with 7 presets only
Additional Comments:
I went from my beloved Gigabyte Osmum with Cheery MX Brown to this. I know it does not have as many features as other keyboards on the market, but this is definitely worthwhile, great construction, Cheery MX red, RGB lighting, and a very comfortable palm rest pad!!! If you can get this on sale, go for it!!!

Strengths:
Real mechanical
Real Cherry MX
Free wrist rest that's detachable
Weaknesses:
Not a well known brand
Cannot sync the RGB
Additional Comments:
My gaming experience with this keyboard is perfect. Got it during the daily sales and I am happy with my purchase.
It doesn't allow me to sync the RGB with the rest of my system, couldn't find any software to download online. But given the price, it's half price of the Corsair K70 and you still get RGB and true mechanical Cherry MX.
I would recommend to any of my friends who are on a budget. But of course, if you have too much money floating around, then go for the Corsair K70!
