Almost Perfect
Of important note, for this board I opted for the Cherry Blue switches. I've had this board for nearly a year and have typed on it pretty much every day. It is a very good board, so much that I later went ahead and purchased the Mistel Nimitz with Cherry Browns.As many are aware finding a 100% (this is really a 110% due to the extra keys over the num pad) full-size keyboard with no RGB or backlighting is extremely hard so I consider this find a rare one, indeed.The board sounds decent, except for the spacebar which sounds rather hollow. The "Ducky One 3 Carbon Black" also offers a 100% (110%) option and I picked that up with Cherry Blues, and to be rather direct it does sound better and for about $20 cheaper to boot. Like this Mistel it also features nice double shot keycaps, and importantly it's hot swappable, unlike this Mistel. However, the Ducky's case does not feel as durable and unlike this Mistel features branding on the case. Before dropping $100+ on a board you may want to consider these things. Nevertheless the Mistel is utilitarian as can be, which is, imo of course, an aesthetic all its own and one that I truly appreciate.Moving on, the keycaps on the Mistel feel really good and after extensive use appear just as nice as the day it was unboxed. The case has a very slight rough texture to it which is something I appreciate and helps preventing fingerprints and smudges. The USB C cable is detachable which is great, but it's recessed in a way that makes removing it somewhat a chore, which is not so great. Hardly a game breaker, though. One thing I find just a wee bit irksome is the ultra bright leds above the numpad. You can cut steel with those lasers! It does not impact me in any real way just, again, a wee bit irksome.The issues with this board are minor. Considering the price point, there are bound to be some issues like this, but it's hardly enough to knock a star off this board. Like I said, I purchased two of them! If you did the same, I think you'd be happy with it. Highly recommend.

Excellent keyboard
I love that this is a full size, responsive and very visible keyboard. It is solidly built and has good weight to it. I have had numerous problems with keyboards in the past. (Wireless ones couldn't keep up or occasionally disconnected. Many different ones had the lettering quickly wear off the keys. Some had a cramped key layout I just couldn't get used to.) This has been a great solution to those problems.

Well Made - Perfect height - Works Great
This wrist rest fits my keyboard perfectly. It is well made and comfortable. Looks good. Arrived quickly and was well packaged. The only thing I would caution about is that the bottom is hard plastic with rubber feet at both ends and in the middle. If your table is not level (mine has a seam in the middle) the wrist rest can wobble. No fault of the wrist rest, more the table. I may have to remove the rubber feet in the middle.

Solid feel and perfect for a home office. One of the few keyboards that is not illuminated
The keyboard is solid and has a good tactile feel. I type a lot for work (not a gamer). I was looking for a mechanical keyboard that didn't have RGB lights, appropriate for office use. I took one star off because my keyboard arrived a slight warp that makes it uneven on the desk. I tried different surfaces but the wobble remained. I fixed the problem by adding a plastic bumper.UPDATE June 2021 - after 6 months of heavy, every day use for work, I changed my rating from 4 stars to 5 stars. The slight wobble fixed itself and I no longer need to stabilize it with a bumper. The keys are still going strong. I ended up buying a second keyboard for another workstation. Even though there are other mechanical keyboards out there for cheaper price and probably similar feel, this brand seems to be the only one that makes a NON-ILLUMINATED keyboard. Since I am using this for office work, I do not want all the fancy lights or even the caps lit. So this is perfect for my use.

Great build quality and key feel but . . .
Big decision to spend $120 for a keyboard when I've been using $20 Logitechs which don't hold up to heavy gaming and always seem to break the canting legs. But I need a typing keyboard for work so other factors are more important. Solid build quality means the base is a little thicker so if you're used to resting your palm pads below the front of the keyboard you'll be bending the wrist a little more to float your fingers above the keys. Key material is just right. MX silent linear switches are super nice. A tiny bit of click when you type but it's probably my heavy touch hitting range-bottom more than the switch. But . . . Keys are stepped rather than on a slope (see blurry pic) so I'm catching the edge of keys and not nearly as quick typing. Also, sometimes keys don't seem to respond quickly during typing, requiring going back to the key. Finally, if you need to backspace it seems like there's a delay but if you leave the backspace pressed it erases 15-20 characters quicker than you can lift your finger. Maybe it's defective, maybe it's me, but I've lost a lot of typing efficiency and plan to return the keyboard.

Very nice Keyboard. Seller was responsive to concern
I like the feel of this keyboard. I was using MX blues at the office but I had a new coworker complain constantly to me about it so I went with this one. It's similar feeling to my Das Keyboard but the key travel is slightly less and the brown is about half the noise level. It took me a little while to get used to the new sound and key travel, and while it's not my favorite, it'll be a solid office keyboard.The keyboard comes with a key puller, a few different colored keys for "enter" and such, and a key ring trinket that's clicky.There was an issue where I had been missing 2 keys and some other keys were in its place (e.g. 2 key was used for missing up arrow, two u keys instrad of a u and p key). I reached out to the seller/manufacturer and they quickly sent off the appropriate missing keys and were very apologetic.All in all, I definitely recommend the keyboard and the manufacturer.
