Reviews
I love how the keys feel so responsive now that I set the actuation just right for my fingers. The aluminum body stays put even when I get intense in games. Battery lasts forever and the RGB looks awesome at night.
Typing on this feels smooth and the wireless connection never drops. I enjoy tweaking the magnetic switches for different tasks. It works great with my Mac setup too. Only wish the keycaps had more shine through for the lights.
Switched to this from my old keyboard and the difference in speed during competitive play is huge. Rapid trigger makes movement so much better. The build quality feels top notch and I can connect it to multiple devices easily.
