    Smooth and quiet

    I’ve had this keyboard as my main for about 5 months now. Switched over from a G715 because I was tired of the battery dying and getting disconnected. I love the smoothness of the keycaps and how quiet it is. I haven’t had any issues with it at all. Love the color too. I use it daily and haven’t noticed any signs of discoloration of the keycaps yet. The only thing I wish it had though was customizable keycaps. That’s about the only thing I miss from my G715. I still use my other keyboard once in a while but I haven’t been reaching out as much for it which I think is funny with this being the cheaper one.

    Smooth and good colors!

    I love it! The colors and the smooth of the keyboard, It doesn't make much noise and if you want a silent keyboard this is perfect choice. It's not wireless, it's the only bad thing.
