    A bit on the pricey side but really loving this keyboard. I really like the magnetic detachable palm rest which makes dusting/cleaning the keyboard easier. There's really not a lot of apps that I know and use for the tiny LCD screen on the upper right of the keyboard so I find it more of a novelty.

    Reviewed in Canada on June 2, 2022
    This was rather pricey. Purchasing from Canada meant GST would increase the price by a noticeable amount, exceeding my budget, but I bought it anyway. It’s a very nice keyboard. It’s clean, looks a bit more minimalist which I really like. The RGB reflects nicely on the aluminum frame, though a couple more lighting effects would be nice to have. The software is good, took me a little bit of time to understand, but when I did, it was pretty good, you can customize each individual key to light up separately when pressed. The key caps are removable and can be replaced, which is great if I need to in the future. I won’t for a while though, they look really good, love the font, and they have a nice texture that is very comfortable for my fingers. The blue hybrid mechanical key switches feel awesome, they spring right back very quickly, and produce this slightly loud, but otherwise satisfying click, that also have a tactile feel. I typed much faster with this keyboard than I did with my old one. However there is one key that sort of makes this metallic reverberation, but then again it’s just one and I don’t let that bother me. It doesn’t take away from the overall experience. The caps lock key requires a bit more force because the led doesn’t always light up when it’s pushed gently so it’s hard to tell if caps is on or not if it’s not pushed hard enough. The wrist rest, despite not being cushioned or anything, is surprisingly very comfortable to use. I don’t sweat, and my hands stay on it nicely. Typing feels far more comfortable with it. Shame it’s not purely mechanical, but most of it is, I forget what makes it hybrid. Feels completely mechanical though, so I am happy! LED Display is a nice addition to it, but you need to download separate software to make it display discord notifications and other things, like time and Spotify. You have to open that application every time you turn on your computer to achieve that, but I honestly don’t care, it only takes me 3 seconds. I highly recommend this keyboard if you are willing to spend a little more money. It’s been great for me, and I’m sure it will be great for you too!
