    Looking for a keyboard?

    I absolutely love this Keyboard, as soon as I tested it in store, I fell in love with it. The feel, the quietness, the comfortability, and the size doesn’t take up that much space as a normal 98% keyboard would. If I were looking for a keyboard I’d 100% buy this again.

    Amazing Keyboard!

    This is such a great keyboard, I especially love the customizeable G keys to be able to perform one tap functions. The display screen being able to have a gif constantly running is a fun touch. The knob is also cool to be able to quickly rotate through various functions, but my favorite purpose for it is volume control reminds me of cranking my car radio. So much of this keyboard is customizeable and being a 96% size it saves me some space. I also enjoy the clicking of the keys, they have a nice sound, not too high putch and tingy. My only issue with it is that being 96% sometimes my fingers click the wrong buttons, especially if I go to using the arrow keys.

    Great Keyboard Gotta Say

    I have had my fair share of keyboards from other brands, razr, steel, drop, gloriius . And they all are great leyboard but its like im constantly switching. And i took a chance with this one and all i had to say is, im loving it. Thing is nice, colors are vibrant, and keys are smooth, even though it’s mechanical is soft like noise which hands down to me is fire. I recommend this keyboard 10/10 worth the price and if you get it on sale its a +

    Great Keyboard

    I really enjoy this keyboard. The switches feel great as they come pre-lubed, they sound awesome, the wrist wrest is comfortable, and the volume knob has a very nice feel to it. I haven't used the macro keys on the side of the keyboard but knowing it has extra functionality for the future is nice. Very sturdy build quality as well!
