Not what i was loking for but might work for you.
The switches feel very mushy for my likes, as well i can’t feel the actuaion point. I do like the clean brushed black look of the frame, the rgb is dimmable by hardwear end and not only in the softwear. The cable is usb to usb-C so you dont need to use a valuable usb-c slot on ur pc.
