    Responsive Keys, keys are removable and customizable. I use with my Asus gaming laptop & the performance is better than my SteelSeries Apex 5 "red" mechanical keyboard. Price is reasonable at retail and even better when on sale at Bestbuy.

    Love it, gives a competitive edge with the low actuation registrations. Great rgb brightness. Not too clicky so if you stream or post on social media it won’t pick up

    Probably the most comfortable and insanely fast response times I’ve ever had from a keyboard. It’s got a lot of customization and use that I know will keep me using this until it breaks.

    The switches on this are awesome. In the software you can chose if you want each key to have 2 inputs. Basically if you push it halfway down it can do 1 thing but if you push it down all the way it can do something else. Really awesome

    The adjustable switches are nice, but a bit loud for my taste. If you're a keyboard snob you'll definitely want to plan ahead for some modding. Otherwise I really can say anything terrible about this board, I'd say it's main downside is the steel series software. But what company doesn't have bad software these days?
