Just built a computer with the above keyboard. There are several issues that people should be aware of.
1. CPU HS fan would not fit as the memory is too close. Nocuta 14. The bottom of the fan hits the memory.
Solution - different HS fan.
2. Video card sits over the SATA connectors. nVidia GTX 680.
3. Cant enter BIOS or even boot up with a logitech 510 keyboard connected.
Solution - buy a $6 keyboard to do the above. Ridiculous situation.
Not to say the mb is not a good option but the above issues are ridiculous on what is meant to be a better than average mb.

Do you mean motherboard rather than keyboard ?

It is merely a combination of the huge Noctua cooler and high ram heatsinks. Most people opt for low profile memory sticks in this circumstance. Personally I just modified the heatsink by removing the bottom four fins on that side and now I can use even the big modules like Corsair Vengeance.
2. Video card sits over the SATA connectors. nVidia GTX 680.
This is not normally a problem as the ports are angled so that the cables exit at right angles to the board.

Usually it is because either the keyboard is connected via a port other than the rear mounted USB2.0 ie through a hub or using the front ports etc or the settings in the BIOS are not properly chosen. Make sure that the Legacy USB settings are enabled.
