The overall performance of this keyboard is very strong, especially the 1000 Hz polling rate over Bluetooth, which keeps up with everything I throw at it. The low-profile mechanical switches are comfortable for long typing sessions. However, the 22 types of RGB backlight options can be a bit overwhelming, and some patterns are not as visually pleasing or practical as others. Also, the battery life seems to suffer quite a bit with the RGB on.
While the keyboard feels good to type on and the PBT keycaps are nice, I've had some frustrating issues with the Bluetooth connectivity. It occasionally drops the connection, especially when I'm switching between devices, which is disruptive during work. My old keyboard never had these kind of hiccups. I expected more seamless performance for a custom mechanical. I'm frequently having to reconnect it.
The keyboard has a really nice look and the compact design is appreciated for desk space. While the Gateron Mechanical switches feel good for personal use, they are a bit too loud and clicky for my open-plan office environment. It's distracting for colleagues around me, so I mostly use it at home.
The typing feel is responsive, and the low-profile design is great for wrist comfort. I appreciate the solid build quality of the ABS+Aluminum frame. However, for a compact keyboard, it feels a bit heavier than I anticipated at almost a pound, making it slightly less portable than I hoped for a travel setup.
This keyboard is fantastic for long coding sessions. The ANSI layout with the 65% size keeps everything within easy reach, reducing hand movement. The tactile feedback from the low-profile Gateron Mechanical switches is incredibly satisfying.
