Very nice, but not fully illuminated
Pros: It's a very nice feeling keyboard over all. It has a nice clicky feel without being too loud, and the low profile keys make it feel a bit like typing on a laptop, so not cumbersome at all. It has a solid heavy weight to the body, and doesn't shift around & - with the RGB - looks premium compared to other plastic bodied keyboards. I also like having the little scroll bar to control volume easily. Cons: My only gripe is that it doesn't illuminate the shift+ keys (the ones under the numbers & quotation marks, question marks, etc.) so it's kind of annoying to have to look for them or turn on a light when it's dark - which was the reason I bought an illuminated keyboard on the first place. Comparison: I initially couldn't get over it not being fully illuminated considering the high price tag, so I returned it & bought a Logitech K845 which was a standard keyboard but also illuminated & clicky, & cost $100 less than this one. But when I got it home, it was just ok. It had a weird font that made it a little annoying to read. Yes, it was fully lighted, but the keys were high & I had to press down more, so it felt like my hands were getting tired faster. I bought a wrist rest to compensate for the height, and that did help but I couldn't get over how loud it was esp. when working at night. My old basic keyboard was silent in comparison. I eventually returned it and came back to this one. Conclusion: I rebought it with the extended protection plan since some reviews complained about it breaking down after a few months. So time will tell. In the meantime, I'm really liking it.

Great keyboard!
The keyboard is sturdy and has a quality feel to it, no flex to speak of. The housing seems to be anodized aluminum and is fairly thin and compact for a full size keyboard. The media keys are a nice touch without taking up too much space. The low profile keys take a little getting used to but they have a good feel and are quite comfortable to type on. I'd say the switches have a lighter actuation than Cherry blues but still have a satisfying click. I'm not usually a fan of clicky switches but these aren't overly loud. The space bar seems sturdy enough and actuates correctly if pressed on the corners. The G-Hub app is not the greatest but it gets the job done. It's got the usual profiles, macros, and lighting settings which seem to work correctly. The light sync works with a lot of games to give a little extra ambiance but it can be disabled in the app if it gets annoying. If you've got other Logitech stuff it's pretty easy to sync all the RGB. Overall I'm pleased with its performance, I don't have any complaints about it really. I'd recommend a good wrist rest for a little extra support. I've only had a couple weeks with it but I'll update my review after a few months or if I run into any issues.

Incredible
I've been looking to upgrade from my old Corsair keyboard. It's served me well but was overdue for a facelift. After reading reviews and doing my own research I can safely say that I made the perfect choice for an upgrade. The quality is top notch, the keys are incredibly satisfying, and the included RGB isn't wild and over the top. 10/10
