I use this for both my work laptop and personal desktop, switching between them seamlessly with Bluetooth. The aluminum and plastic build feels premium and durable. QMK support means I can really make this keyboard my own, remapping keys for specific applications.
Got the RGB Backlight (Hot-swappable) version with Banana switches. It’s incredibly comfortable for prolonged use, and the hot-swappable feature is a huge plus for future customization. A solid choice for anyone looking for a high-quality mechanical keyboard.
I needed a full-size keyboard for work with both Mac and Windows, and this fits perfectly. The Red switches are smooth and quiet, great for an office environment. Typing feels responsive.
The Banana switches are a revelation, offering a perfect tactile bump without being too loud.
The Bluetooth on this keyboard is very unreliable. It frequently disconnects or has noticeable lag, making it frustrating for daily use. I found myself switching to wired mode often.
