I am very upset, the product is no good.

If you dream and imagine that:
- MacOS issue fixed (I'm pretty sure it's the keyboard controller firmware)
- Connector changed to TypeC
- There was another option with switches Cherry Blue, Cherry Brown
- Added RGB lighting

That would be the ideal keyboard for almost any user - both to play and work. And so - a raw product for a lot of money. Ineptly threw away almost seven thousand.

Pros

Beautiful, made of metal, strict design, not flashy backlight and seemingly good build quality, although it is somewhat spoiled by the fact that the microUSB port (you could fork out for TypeC, but the Chinese could somehow).

Cons

I bought it to work with MacOS, without looking at compatibility. For some reason, it seemed to me stubbornly that in 2022 keyboards should ensure the operation of basic functions (that is, poking buttons) under any operating system, and the lack of compatibility with a particular operating system means that advanced functions such as backlight control and all that. But it was not there. Under MacOS, at the behest of the Cosmos, one or another button stops working on the keyboard, simply preventing typing texts normally. You have to constantly pull it out and plug it back in. The support service said in plain text - what did you want, but compatibility is not declared. Formally speaking - they are right, if you don't want to be fooled - read the whole small text. But the impression is still spoiled in the trash.
