Yea it seems to be pretty solid build quality so I hope it’ll last a decent amount of time. I’ve been brining mine to and from work for the past week and so far so good

Glad to hear positive feedback about it. I was playing around with the idea of getting one with the clear wrist rest for the ambience. I'm curious as to how they'll hold up over time.

Personally I love it, I have red glacier switches in and I enjoy them. May end up switching them out in the future but for now I am very pleased. Build quality and key feel is great too

They're linear switches and although being cheap they're also considered pretty good. They're heavier than reds and, once lubed, very smooth too. I like the V1, it's a nice cheap keyboard with decent stabilizers and a pre-installed silicone sound dampener. All that said, I also own a Q3 which i consider vastly superior than the V1. The materials (Aluminum vs ABS Plastic) alone make it a better and more premium choice. Stabs are the same, which is fine as it is, especially if it's your first serious keyboard. Gasket Mount is what really makes me choose the Q series over the V: i like my kb to bounce a little, it feels more comfortable, and less stiff.

All that said, I really enjoy typing on the V1 and I will keep using it for a while, but i will eventually go back to my Q3.
