Types great and looks awesome! Had a small issue with connecting to signal RGB. Had to download the hyperx software to update the firmware then uninstall hyperx software but it works great now!

The quality and appearance of the keyboard are worth the price. The color changing features are cool. My only minor complaint would be how noisy it is (I use it for work meetings too), but it's not unbearable.

RGB is highly customizable. I have mine in a pink and blue slow wave pattern. and I set my keys to fade to white when struck. there is just so much that can be done to customize this keyboard! The keyboard also feels great with nice tactile feedback, keyboard's metal body is nice and heavy, and I love the volume control roller, makes changing volume a breeze.

This is a super smooth, super bright keyboard with buttery soft keys that have a neat clicky sound effect with each stroke. It has several settings, one for all keys lit, one w/keys lit but changing colors and one w/keys off but they light up with each stroke of a key. It is wired but it is of no consequence. it's long enough for my desk. So glad I stumbled upon this beauty.

Great value, decent key feedback. A little heavy, but it’s not meant to be moved around a lot.

This guy is absolutely phenomenal. I’ve never owned a gaming or mechanical keyboard before, and I’m so glad I shelled out a little bit more for this one in particular. The colors are gorgeous— really bright and vibrant— and the keys have a great feel and sound to them. The metal frame makes it quite sturdy as well. I love it!
