best typing experience on a 96% KB
best feeling keyboard I have typed on. getting numpad on a small form factor is a game changer moving from a full size KB. deducting 1 star as icue support is still in development. it should have launched with it.

The Perfect Keyboard
Price is definitely is up there but I must say this is one of the best keyboards I've laid my hands on. The software at the moment isn't the best but once they get it updated I imagine it'll be fine. The switches feel so nice and the keyboard isn't as sensitive as the K65 Pro. Very precise inputs which makes it feel good for not only gaming but also regular day to day use (school, work, etc.). Overall, I recommend this keyboard and if you are willing to dish out the money for it I don't think you'll be disappointed.
