    After having this for a few months now, I really like it and I really like how the switches and the key caps are easy to replace. However, the only thing that I had some issues with is the shipping since they shipped it through a third-party and not a major shipping company. I also wish it came in girl colors like baby pink or even a neutral like a black.

    My first mechanical keyboard

    The S98 is my first time ever purchasing and using a mechanical keyboard. I was able to get it ~25% off due to a Halloween promotion. Even if I had not gotten the discount, I would still feel as satisfied as I do with this purchase. I mention this is my first mechanical keyboard purchase so anyone who reads this is aware that I don't have any other experience with this category of product. However, I do love this S98 keyboard. I enjoy everything about it and am very happy with my purchase, the quality of the product, and the price too.

    I love it

    I love everything about this keeb except one thing. The plastic on the little screen gets scratched VERY easily. Other than that, it’s wonderful; The switches are teriffic, the caps it comes with feel and sound very high quality (but are cherry profile, unfortunately, so I won’t be using them), and the build quality and heft feel great. Sound it terrific right out of the box. That scratched LCD screen does irk me though.
