Really perfect keyboard. Minimalistic, solid, heavy, large. Main issue for me - led dies with no reason. After about 1-2 years of using led start to die in short period like each month die one led. It's depressed me a lot and make me sad
For my first mechanical keyboard, this is pretty solid but there are a few caveats to it that annoy me:
The keycaps are the biggest offender. As someone with large hands, I found myself pressing two buttons at the same time, now and then. Thankfully, keycaps can be removed and substituted with others, making this not much of an issue if you can buy some keycaps.
Another issue is the cleaning. There are tiny gaps around the wrist rest that make it annoying to clean.
My current issue so far is that there's a few lights that died for no discernable reason, those being the ESC, Enter, Home, Left Shift and Left Alt Keys. Granted, I do not need the lights as I'm fairly proficient with typing but for aesthetic purposes, it greatly annoys me. I'm not sure if there's a fix or if I can send the keyboard back to have it fixed or replaced.
All in all, it would've been a great keyboard for me but a few annoyances keep it from being 5 stars.
Really weird looking (yet stylish) keyboard with even weirder flat and large keycaps. Build quality is okay, but the flex is a little on the worrying side as well as the plastic in between the arrows and ins/home keys feel really cheap and easily depressed. The Integrated wrist rest is cool even though it adds a lot of overhead to the size of the board. However, it has a nice faux suede feel to it, but due to build quality concerns I don't expect it to last too long.
The LED's are pretty bright but you can dim them. There are some neat little lighting modes you can change to though, so the board maintains some playfulness so to speak. There are a bunch of function keys, including swapping the windows and fn key which is really nice. The volume knob is nice as well. There is also a cool password function on the board that seemed really interesting even though finding out you can just reset it using a small reset button in the back of the board makes it pretty meaningless. They could have at least make me need to disassemble the damn board to reset it.
The real downer for me are the keycaps though, getting this board with blues the feel and sound is absolutely great, but my hands just cannot handle these large and flat keys. Or, it's just hard to get used to them for me. Not to mention that these keys are pretty cheam and will easily get some shine on them in a matter of a few weeks. Overall I think my main issue with the keys themselves is that they're too large for my small and delicate hands.
Overall this is a decent and stylish board for the price, I would advise those with small hands to at least invest in another set of keycaps if they're not willing to roll with this weird board's punches. That is mostly just me though, the real objective issue for this board is a massively pointless feature (password lol) and iffy build quality.
If they invested a little more into the build quality instead of pointless features, then this would easily have been a 5/5 for me.
So I bought this knowing it was weird and different hoping that it would simply just be the thing I have always wanted and needed. The fact is that the keys are simply just too big. The keyboard does make a wonderful thump and has an excellent feel to it, very nice and thick yet wonderfully light and crisp. The buttons in the top right are amazing. Pressing down on the volume button is pure heaven. It doesn't get any better than those buttons, and the fact you can turn the keyboard off is HUGE! I seem to always be putting things on top of my keyboard and wind up with pages a single letters getting depressed. But why can't I keep it? The can't type on it. If you type with your fingers high above the keyboard it works much better but for me I like to rest my hands on the wrist pad.
