A good product, more pros than cons.

A rather specific device, I have long wanted to try it for playing on a laptop. But it is not entirely clear who it is for, if for use with a PC, then the difference with a good mechanical keyboard with a palmrest is minimal. If for use with a laptop, then the non-removable long cable is a huge minus, 30 cm would be enough. Before buying, it is better to try in the store. Do not hope that everything will be perfect right away, you will have to get used to it, at first the hand will get tired or even hurt.

Pros

Good materials, linear rather tight and smooth switches, beautiful lighting, soft pad for the brush, gamepad emulation, full programmability.

Cons

20 button (space), it is located very inconveniently, it is extremely difficult to use in games, the keypad has only 2 adjustments for people with hands less than 17 cm, it seems to me that it will not work at all, only 8 profiles can be configured, the device does not have its own memory, even for backlighting, non detachable cable.
