    I love this thing. Feels well made and games run great. Our internet is 125 mbps and it lags rarely. You will want to have your ps5 plugged in via ethernet cable though. The app has an expensive subscription but it's all optional.

    I had a razer or whatever that was the same price but the buttons didnt match as i connect to my PS5 mainly. It seems like such a little thing that the buttons are either letters or shapes, but it made a difference for me. There are a few times that a button wont register, but im not sure if it is because of the game i have used it with or not. I have only played BG3 with it, which doesn’t require fast paced or rapid button smashing.
