Keyboard looks like the picture. Good travel on the keys. I wish the lowest light setting on the keys was one more step lower but still very acceptable. 9 out of ten.

Good upgrade from a cheap membrane keyboard. To my knowledge, the switches are not hotswappable and are soldered. I really like the Kailh box red switches - they are a decent entry level linear switch.

very quite, a pleasure to type on.... since the keys are sticking up, cleaning the keyboard can be very easy.

This kb is very high quality but it's taking some time to get used to the touch of the keys. They are VERY sensitive. Just barely touching a key causes it to activate. For example, if I relax my wrists a bit too much and contact the ctl key, my browser starts resizing, etc. I don't know if I'll ever get used to these keys. I wish they had a bit more tactile response and that they were a little less sensitive.

I've used quite a few mechanical keyboards, and this is good for the price. There are certainly better, but it's a solid keyboard. It cost close to double when I bought mine, and I'd still consider it's feel good at that price.

Shift keys are very slightly bindy if you hit the very right or left edge, not so much that I consider it any kind of real problem. Other long keys are all good.

I've had the keyboard about a year. In that time lights on Q, R, U, Left 'Shift', 'PrtSc', and the minus key on the number pad stopped working. Not a big deal for me, I didn't care too much about the LEDs. I have other mechanical keyboards without LEDs and I actually prefer not having LEDs (but my daughter would turn them on when I'd turn them off.)

A few months ago, maybe 9 months or so after purchase, the column that has 8, I, K, and comma keys stopped working. Nothing spilled on it, or anything. Just stopped working, I'm not particularly hard on keyboards, my Leopold FC900R and Ducky One TKL have lasted ~5 years and are still going. My unit at least was not at all durable.

I always wanted to try a mechanical keyboard, but was turned off by the high price. Having had great experience with monoprice headphones, I wanted to give their keyboard a try.

The Monoprice Worksteam mechanical keyboard has a solid build.
The design is simple and utilitarian - just how I like it.
The red switches have only gentle clicking sound when typing.

The only flashy thing is the various light settings for the key backlights. I probably won't be using the customization features - but others might appreciate them.

It took some time getting used to a mechanical keyboard: the keys are more elevated than a regular keyboard.

My only concern is that the letters on the keyboard are difficult to see without the backlight, so I have to keep them on even during the day.

Overall, it was a great purchase. Only time will tell how long this keyboard (and backlights) will last - I have a feeling it will last me a long, long time!

The keyboard is just what I wanted. Solid feel, good build quality and proper backlighting.

Good price, switches have great feeling.

Not as "clickety" as I prefer, and the lighting is all white, but it does the job.
