I like everything about this keyboard. The software, the RGB lighting, and the feel of the keys. I especially like the compact size. While it would look great with any gaming set up, I particularly like the way it complements my HP omen gaming rig. The keyboard feels heavy, and the build quality is premium.

Keyboard is minimalist but gets the job done. Keys are great and lights are a plus. Its a bit tricky getting the colors to work properly

I love it. The weight of the alloy is perfect. The sounds are satisfying, and I was able to swap out some keycaps that came with the keyboard for some pleasing aesthetics. I got it on sale as well which didn’t hurt! I have smaller hands so the size is perfect. And I know this is the purpose of the keyboard but I do miss having a number pad sometimes. But if that is my only complaint, overall a great purchase!
