Mine also came with year of the Ox caps and yellow caps instead of red. Not sure how it'll be in the future, but for now I am very happy. I haven't had any trouble in the few days I've had the board. It doesn't take much pressure to activate the key, but I miss have a slight click sound when typing. I bought this one with Silent Red switches. The board/keys have a bit of a texture to them so that's something to get used to. It's very dim and glowy, kinda magical really. I do wish I had bought one that had a separate row for the F1 keys (maybe even the number pad, but hey maybe future me will be another!), so it's been a bit weird to get to used to. The board itself is very pretty, I'm honestly really impressed by the look and feel of it. Also, this board is being used for gaming and just everyday web surfing. So, this review is from someone who doesn't have much (if any) experience. I'm coming from a Razer Blackwidow Ultimate 2016 which has green clicky switches.
