Customer Reviews
Nice build quality and a great typing feel. Battery could be better when using the white LEDs.
Ive used the Keyboard for 3 Days now, got the RGB hotswap with knob brown switch version. It sounds like heaven mostly, the prelube is very good, only problem is that about 5 keys are a little lacking with the prelube, so they feel and sound a little different. But since its hotswap i can easily fix that! Typing experience is soo nice and i love the browns for gaming. Im coming from a very very old logitech g710 (MX Blues), the difference is night and Day! Its quite silent too, more so than some normal height tactiles ive felt so far. Love the short keytravel. Being able to program it fully is unbelievably handy, coming from a german ISO to US layout. I lowered pg up and down by one, put home in the top row and del next to backspace. i use the one of the xtra keys in top right to convert A, U, O into german Umlaute (Ä, Ü, Ö) since i need these quite a bit.
Great latency, Battery is yet to die, RGB is great and the stabilizers on the larger keys are very nice.
I have yet to find anything bad about the keyboard, other than that it came with mac layout ootb, i cant imagine that most costumers buy these for macs.
Oh i use it with Linux Mint Cinnamon mainly, and i love it so far!
