I'm giving 4 stars which kind of stinks, because I absolutely love this keyboard. I'll start with the good- typing on it right now and setting the actuation manually and quickly is a great feature. The hall effect is a neat feature, as are the absolutely insanely complex custom lighting options with layering. I love the ability to upload images to my screen (I stare at my business logo all day as I type), and the wheel is firm, and this thing is sturdy. The key bind and macro-options are flexible and full of neat options including custom G1-G5 button binds.
Pros:
Solid Build
Great RGB options
Smooth Typing
If you're a keyboard gamer, this is perfectly customizable
Why I'm giving 4 stars:
I spent roughly an hour trying to connect to the Corsair web hub app. I had to reset cookies, try new browsers, and do no less than 4 hard resets. I used the instruction manual, but in the end, one feature I could not resolve was the 8000 Hz polling. In my experience, setting it any higher than 2000 Hz crashes the keyboard, requiring a hard firmware reset (which resets all custom key binds/lighting/etc.).
Overall I love this thing. Please don't let the 4 stars dissuade you!
