Interesting keyboard with quite a lot of features packed into 60% frame.
However, there are several key problems here - afaik only switches on this one are MX red / speed silver. Soft linear switch in combination with low profile key will result in very frequent misclicks.
Additionally, cheap laser etched ABS will start shine after several months, followed by letters wearing out. Here's an example of a very common issue in all those "g@m3r" keyboards.
Slap on top of it non-standard layout and low profile cherry keys and you have a wonderful set of incompatibilities with a vast majority of 3rd party custom caps sets which can partially "fix" the above issues.
Nice keyboard, but I wouldn't use it myself.
Any Cooler Master mechanical keyboard I've had ended up immediately like that one. Getting any sort of RMA from them for any product for any reason was a pain, and I'd always end up with a refurb item in FAR worse condition that what I initially sent in to be replaced. And the last mouse I was sent as a "new" replacement of was dead out of the box. I didn't even bother contact them again after that one I was so frustrated, and very much expected them to not replace it. Oh and don't bother try to buy key caps from them to replace their shitty ones which rub off in a month, they'll tell you to fuck off.
At this point I don't think I'd ever buy from CM again, even if it's the only match for what I'm looking for.

All switches throught human history were more or less the same size. So your comment about "too small for my hands" doesn't make any sense to me.
Do you mean they are too soft? If that's the case look at switches that are over 60g+ force.
