I also have this keyboard. I find it to be really solidly built and the lighting effects are a nice touch, but would agree that it doesn't seem to make my typing any better then using the keyboard on my macbook pro. FWIW, I originally got the keyboard with brown switches but then sent it back for blue switches and that seemed to make a big different in how it felt. What type of switches did you get?

It's only better than using your macbook pro if you use emacs so you can mash control with your palm - can't do that on a macbook keyboard.

ha, that works pretty well! I currently have cntrl mapped to my caps lock button and mainly use that though.

Yes, build quality is really good. I've got model SGK-4040-GKCM1 with brown switches.
