Perfect Keyboard for me
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!

Best Gaming Keyboard Ive Owned
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.
