I got this keyboard and returned it. I don't know how to explain but the top part of keycap has weird shape that make it feel smaller on your finger while typing.
I bought this without the joystick when it was on woot for $50. Love the look and feel of the keyboard. It has very nice clicky switches which are loud. There are three types of mechanical keyboard switches, linear (they go straight down and are smooth, quietest), tactile (have a tactile bump, slightly louder), and clicky (have a tactile bump and an audible click that goes along with it, loudest). Gamers tend to prefer linear while typists prefer the last two. Clicky does tend to be the least popular. These switches in particular have a click when you press down as well as when you release. If you like clicky switches and the retro look of this keyboard then it's a great keyboard. If not then look elsewhere.
What that joystick can be used for? It doesn't look like there are any buttons on it
I did some searching to try and find this out. The joystick is basically 4 programmable inputs (not analog). You can set them to wasd or arrow keys for light duty gaming. It attaches magnetically to the buttons or you can use the b/a keys on the keyboard. It's not going to replace a real controller, but I don't think anyone expects it to. Some people use it for media controls or macros.

I used to absolutely need backlit keyboards before I learned how to type properly. I no longer need to even glance at my keyboard and I used this website for around 15-20 mins a day for a few months and I went from 60 WPM with errors to 115 WPM with little to no errors: https://www.typing-lessons.org/ -- I find this website much better than anything else.
Backlight isn't desired for hunt and peck typing. More like your hands aren't actively on the keyboard and you just need to press a key real quick. Like when gaming I use a dedicated keypad (tartarus v2 with my keyboard up and out of they way, and sometimes I need to hit a random key real quick that's not on the keypad.
