This is my first experience with linear actuation or optical switches. I've heard people say this board does a pretty good job with typing -- so that it's useful for beyond just gaming -- and let me just say, that holds true. I'm quite a speedy touch typist (120+ wpm), and I can type as fast as ever with only minimal errors, which should only improve with some more time on the board. I saw some say this keyboard is loud, but it isn't really. I suspect this is from people bottoming out on their key strokes, but if you're a more skilled typist you will learn the actuation point and type much lighter and quieter since the linear switches don't require you to bottom out your presses.
When it comes to gaming, wow, what a difference. The smooth strokes and quick response feels like it has lifted the skill ceiling on movement. I can actually dance around with my hand on the keyboard much faster to do the things I want to do, and I feel much more precise. I did not expect a keyboard to make such a big difference, but if you are being bottlenecked on a slower board, then this definitely will make a difference for you as it has for me.
The weight of the board is really solid and the key presses are super soft. The RGB looks great and you can assign different lighting to individual keys in the software.
Only one gripe so far: ABS keycaps.
For a $140 board it would be nice to have PBT, but I knew this when I got it. Still, the finish on the keys is actually very nice and feels much better than your typical ABS caps.
The tldr of all this -- amazing for gaming, yet still solid for typing. Super comfy to type on and feels quality.

For the rest of us, these Titan Opticals are fast and responsive. The rebound and response are excellent, and it feels good to type and game on. For gamers, the W keycap has a little bump like your F and J keys for re-centering without looking. Actuation happens before you bottom out like most switches and the linear is great without any feedback until you bottom out. If you need feedback on actuation, Titan Optical is not for you. Choose the Titan Tactile Mechanical or similar.
For the person that complained for the lack of dedicated media keys doesn't read the instructions. You can set F9-F12 dedicated to media keys as I do not use those keys on a regular basis (FN+DEL locks out only F9-F12 to media until you set it back). With the mute and volume knob it's great for streaming music or Youtube.
Game mode (FN+PGDOWN) locks out windows keys like most keyboards.
Overall super happy with it. The only downside (and I didn't take off a star) is the FN+END which turn FN into another windows key works, but you can't revert back without unplugging the keyboard. Considering my K65 Corsair doesn't even give me that option on the hardware side, I can't fault this bug.
The Titan Optical Switches are compatible with Cherry MX keycaps fyi as I've swapped some of my Corsair keycaps just to see, but honestly the keycaps are great and I have no plans to swap them. One last note, the RGB lighting is north not south which I feel is pretty standard.
Spacebar is 6.25u not 6.5u like most keyboards.
If you want to use the LEDs to their full extend, make sure to download Roccat's Swarm software so you can make custom color profiles and patterns. I personally really like the lighting options but you can turn all that stuff off if you don't want to use it
Overall, it's an excellent keyboard. I wish there were a wireless version but oh well.

My main criticism is the build. It's primarily plastic, thus feels very light and hollow. I really didn't like typing on it all. Given its price point I was expecting a better build quality.
My main positive, the RGB is really nice.
