Just received my Cherry G80-3000 Blue Switch Keyboard, and I am writing this review right using this keyboard.
I love the clicky feedback and primarily using it for daily typing and coding. I am attaching it to my ThinkPad so it will take some time for me to get use to it as a full size keyboard vs. the laptop keyboard. However, I think I am gonna typing faster with this one once I get used to it.
As people suggested, this is fantastic for daily typing! Crispy sound and just the right amount of feedback that you would expect. Yes it might not be good for office or other public area, as the typing sound might be a little bit annoying for others while pretty enjoying for yourself!
The key cap is very silky and feels comfortable for every touch. The letters were scribe rather than printed on it, so you it is not a smooth feeling on the surface of each cap. I think this would make it to be long-lasting.
This is one of the classic mechanical keyboard, and you would not get any fancy ports or media control scrolls and are out there in other products such as the Das Keyboard. Personally I hope it could have a built in USB port, especially when you are using it with the laptop and accordingly takes up one USB port.
To summarize:
Pros:
1. Very precise feedback. Good for typing.
2. Crispy clicking sound.
Cons:
1. A little bit louder than the normal keyboard (non-mechanical) to be used in office, but not that much. Good for home use.
