The Bluetooth connection drops frequently, especially when I try to switch between my devices. It's really frustrating when it suddenly stops working mid-sentence, forcing me to reconnect. The wireless modes are not reliable for consistent use.
I bought this for my home office setup, and it's been an incredible upgrade. The 85% ISO layout is compact but still includes all the keys I regularly use, which is excellent for my coding work. Connecting to my work laptop and personal desktop is effortless with the multi-device Bluetooth. The battery life is phenomenal; I can go weeks without needing to plug it in, even with the RGB backlight on. It feels very sturdy and the keycaps are comfortable to type on for hours.
The 1000 Hz polling rate makes a noticeable difference for fast typing.
This RGB Backlight version is stunning on my desk. The various lighting modes are fun to play with, and the key feel of the Gateron low-profile switches is responsive yet quiet enough for office use. It’s exactly what I needed.
