My mechanical keyboard (a Nixeus Moda) had an issue under warranty - Up and Left keys quit working. When I contacted them for warranty, they gave me the option of getting it replaced with the same model, or waiting and getting it replaced with the Moda V2. I waited, and got the new one today.
This is the old keyboard - Nixeus Moda with Kailh Brown switches and Costar stabilizers.
This is the new keyboard out of the box - Nixeus Moda V2 with Kailh Blue switches and Cherry stabilizers.
I couldn’t keep it stock, though - Kailh switches are Cherry MX-compatible so you can swap out the keycaps. This is it with a mix of Signature Plastics DSA Dolch (the dark keys) and DSA Granite (the light keys), and a DSA Eject key.
It looks pretty damn cool, but it’s not for the faint of heart. The board was only around $50, but the two sets of keycaps totaled around $150.
BmanUltima's car still hasn't been fixed yet, he'll get on it tomorrow, honest.

G710+ is what I have. I really like the brown switches, but I think the keyboard is too big. Next one will be something closer in size to what you have.

how do you function without a 10-key? I get annoyed when using any keyboards that don’t have a 10-key

Looks great! Not a big fan of the fake Cherry switches though.
Massdrop?

The keyboard was originally a NeweggFlash deal.
The Dolch and Granite sets were through MassDrop. The “Big Red Eject Key” was a group buy through Signature Plastics directly.

I use a keyboard with a 10-key at work because I do data entry all day. At home, I go tenkeyless because I just didn’t use it enough.
I’ve thought about getting a 60% board or a JD40 but I don’t want to sacrifice that much functionality for the style.
(Top to bottom: 100%, TKL, 60%, JD40).

I love the cherry brown switches. Finally gave in and bought myself a corsair k70 last week. So far I'm loving it. I strongly considered the Logitech, but I didn't need the macros and wanted something a little more stylish. The corsair only ended up being like 20 bucks more.

Nice, I really like that layout.
