This is an excellent keyboard. I've been using it for about a month now. This is purely my opinion, but I really like the left wrist pad. It's firm, but I like the firmness more than a squishy pad. You can also use it to store the key remover and extra keys that come with the keyboard. I rarely use the media keys and volume scroller, but those went right to work out of the box without any driver install which made me quite happy.
The only gripe I have on this board is the fact that the function keys as well as the home/end/insert/etc. keys are not mechanical. Every other key is mechanical though including the number pad and arrow keys.
The cherry MX red switches on these are pretty quiet, but because they lack any sort of feedback when a key press is registered, I tend to bottom out a lot. Depending on how hard you type, I'd recommend getting a set of O-rings. I personally am using the red o-rings that change the feel of the keyboard the least, and I have so far loved them.
Other than that, an excellent keyboard all around. The construction is solid, and the brushed aluminum(?) makes it look and feel very professional. The raised keys also makes the keyboard really easy to clean.
