First off, a disclaimer: I won this keyboard in a giveaway. I purchased the original A75 with my own money when it was new. I was impressed with the smoothness of those HE switches, but the rest of the keyboard was fine, but nothing special. The G75 is more compact, but feels more weighty due to the silicon. The feet is a really interesting way to deal with a rigid typing feel and does make a difference. I find it comfortable to use, both for gaming and typing. The switches are still very smooth...
