Just simply beautiful. It’s like the same as switching to an SSD from an hold hard drive. Once you go mechanical, you don’t want to go back. I literally feel like I’m typing on air. The actuation force is… incredibly low and the keyboard is heavy so it doesn’t move on your desk even if you attack the damn thing with your fingers haha. -G. Newman
Super low profile, super heavy for a keyboard, a totally entrancing lighting system. Oh, and one of the best mechanical keyboards to boot, it really doesn’t get much better than this. -P. Smith
Best keyboard I’ve every had. Absolutely amazing with no problems. Using this mainly for gaming and some work. -Matt
