The keyboard sounds, feels, and reacts really well. I’ve had some problems though with a bad switch and some disconnecting issues. I’m in the process of figuring them out and I believe it’s a problem I’m creating my own self. I’d just watch out plugging in multiple keyboards, I ran into a problem when I had 3 at a time. Great wrist rest, very comfortable and luxury feel. The lighting and the effects are smooth and not overbearing. Performance, it feels so much faster with actuation settings. The different ways to use the knob is nice. The display is great for adjusting the the actuation point. I believe there to be more use cases for the display soon and they’d be convenient.
