I just bought this keyboard: http://mechanicalkeyboards.com/shop/index.php?l=product_detail&p=395
I did a lot of research and such, however most of the reviews are slightly biased(first time using a mechanical keyboard and such).
Does anyone here use this specific keyboard? I'd like some opinions from people who have used it before, thank you :)

Most keyboards are generally pretty similar, the switch type is what's important. Just to note, I have never used this keyboard so I can't say specifically for it

I tried some cherry blues on a keyboard at my local best buy(Razer Blackwidow Ultimate) and loved the feel to them. Will I expect the same from this keyboard basically? I heard the build quality is really good on this one as well, I mainly just got it for the blue backlight. It matches my Razer mouse.

Yeah it will feel the same (the keys at least), so if you liked the Razer you should like the Keycool.

As someone who's been using the Cherry Blue's for the past few weeks it's a really nice switch, nice feedback and satisfying to type on. I personally feel any mechanical keyboard will be nice for FPS games after you use it for awhile and get used to the feedback and activation points.
The CherryMX switches should be consistent across brands so it should feel the same.
Although I'd just like to point out, the stabilizers (the things under wide keys) are different from keyboard to keyboard.
There are a few different types but the consensus is that the Cherry stabilizers are "mushier" than Costar stabilizers. The BW and the keycool use different stabilizers (BW is costar, KC is Cherry) so your keyboard may feel different to the one you tried instore.
For some enthusiasts the Costar is preferred.
Costar Stabilizer:
- Filco
- CM Quickfire Rapid
- Mionix Zibal
- WASDkeyboards
- Rosewill
- Noppoo
- Razer Blackwidow
- PLU
- Thermaltake G1 Meka
Cherry Stabilizer:
- Cherry
- KBC (Poker and Race)
- Ducky
- Leopold
- Keycool
- Steelseries

About half-way down there's pics and comparison.

For me personally I'm using CM Quickfire TK and it has the Cherry stabilizers, I can't say that the wide keys are mushy, if you really press the keys individually and alternate between a normal key and a stabilized key you can tell the difference but when I'm typing or gaming I honestly can't tell.
