Looks quite retro-cool in those colours, but I don't think I'd be able to justify buying something called a "Rapoo", no matter how good it was..

Even if they're Kailh or Matias switches, that's a good price for a mechanical keyboard, not to mention being wireless and backlit!

Mechanical or not, I don't fancy the look of those flat, unsculptured key caps...
(no affirmation that your fingers are resting on the current keys)

Very tempting.
Found an interesting unboxing video on youtube, though its german or something so I don't really understand it.

It uses a Cherry MX head, so is compatible with replacement keys suitable for MX switches. On the same part on the video, you can see the switch is labelled 'PG1511'. After 5 seconds of googling I found a wiki entry describing it as

Kaihua PG1511 series is a family of Cherry MX clone switches. It is the basis for the Razer switch, manufactured for Razer by Kaihua

Going to have to pop into a local store that demos Razer products to try out these switches, absolute bargain at this price.

Touch sensitive Esc and Del buttons though...

Don't these use the yellow switches
