Beautiful Keyboard, Great Functionality, Unfortunate RGB bugs
For what it is, it has no competition. 60%, Full RGB, Wireless with bluetooth connectivity, and easily programmable. I love typing on this keyboard. I opted for the white model with Kailh brown switches. I'd have preferred blue switches, but finding a white model with blue switches was proving difficult. That said, I'm pleasantly surprised by how nice these switches are (though I don't know if the issue of Kailh switches breaking keycaps has been resolved, I'm so into the stock keys I can't see myself replacing them anytime soon).That said, I do have a few small complaints. None of which make me regret my purchase or anything, but are worth noting.1.Overall build quality is great, the only part I find flimsy feeling is the Bluetooth switch, which is very small and feels a little looser than I'd like. You may think it's not a big deal, but that brings me to another issue.2. I would have really preferred if the bluetooth functionality was controlled by a function instead of a physical switch. I'm sure there's a reason it had to be a physical switch I'm just not aware of, but if you swap between multiple devices regularly, that flimsy feeling switch worries me a bit, and having to reach under the keyboard to swap between a wired device and bluetooth is a bit annoying, moreseo when you cna't leave it on while wired. The device will not work while cabled to a non-bluetooth device while bluetooth is enabled. I don't understand why they made it possible to switch between bluetooth devices with function keys, but not swap to your wired device the same way. Most desktops still don't come with Bluetooth functionality natively.3. No feet. Very small gripe as the keyboard does have small rubber grips and a decent height. Not a huge issue, but some nice rubberized feet would have been a very nice feature.4. Lastly, there seems to be some firmware/software issue with the RGBs. I know it's not the lights themselves, as they can display the correct colors, but it seems like random keys will not pull color configs properly. It's my biggest gripe aesthetically on an otherwise beautiful keyboard. When you want a two-tone look and random keys are off-colored and fixing them seems to require a lot of random re-assigning and disconnecting and it's just disappointing.5. Minor issue programming function keys. You need to make a macro to use a modifier and key together on one key... macros have to be recorded, of course. But since you can't manually enter the info and have to actually perform the action... making a key quit an application seems to be impossible, because it quits the programming software on pressing). Would be nice if there was a way to add a modifier without actually having to press it... The fact this doesn't work is annoying because it makes it really uncomfortable to hit Alt+F4 as F4 requires the function key on the other side of they keyboard. You need to press three keys about as far from eachother natively.Overall though, I'm very happy with the keyboard. The switches feel great, the stock keycaps are high quality (though I can't imagine using the optional keys with no clear legends and 6 different colors). Programming outside of the mentioned issues is easy. Bluetooth connectivity seems to work fine, no trouble syncing or switching.End of the day, this is a great keyboard and is one of the only full RGB wireless USB3 keyboards out there, so I'm very happy it works so well for the most part. Would gladly buy again.
