Review on XPG Summoner Cherry MX Red Gaming Keyboard by Andrey Doykov ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

The best price for such a product, I will buy more!

I would recommend purchasing the keyboard because it is, in general, fantastic, particularly for the price (not the one that costs 12-13k, but the one that costs 7-9k). The image demonstrates the various color combinations that are available in the application (in general, you have the ability to change the color of each key). With its positives being: Klava is excellent, and the convenience of typing makes it even better (rapid response, sometimes even so fast that hands type faster than minds think, which results in incomplete words being produced, so you need to give some thought to what you're doing while typing). Because the wrist rest is as plush as a pillow, I never get sick of leaning back and relaxing on it. Rubberized feet are attached to the underside of the table's surface, preventing the keyboard from moving about too much on the surface. Amazing quality processing went into making the metal skin; it is incredibly smooth and does not detract from the overall tone of the keyboard in any way. There is software with programmable keys, backlight macros, and configuration options. There is a sound adjustment wheel, but I don't really need it because the sound is tuned on my external DAC. Nevertheless, it can be convenient for someone else. You can also choose from a variety of illumination profiles, according to your preferences, outside of the program. Below are some downsides: A slight backlash on the key that toggles between mute and unmute (the key can be turned in multiple ways, but it would be more practical if it could just move up and down). The base of the stand has a few noticeable folds of leatherette, which is the stand's only minor defect. There are also issues with the software, specifically the fact that in order to enable your own personalized lighting profile, you are required to log in to the application each time after the device is rebooted (and this step must be repeated each time). And yes, the last negative, but more of a nitpick, is that there is no built-in inclusion of the calculator through the combination of the function key (fn) and some key from the F-line. There was a feature like that in Chinese for the number 2k that used outem keys.
