DO NOT BUY THIS KEYBOARD

I'm writing this review right as it comes out of my keyboard: I bought this product because I like small keyboards, I also like backlit keyboards with good switches. While the lighting is great and the keyboard "click" is great, there are some BIG issues with sticky keys and long stickiness. It just seems random and doesn't happen all the time from key to key. Although some keys have more problems than others, even AFTER constant cleaning of the keys and keyboard. After several attempts to fix the problem by updating Synapse (sssoftwwware Razer drivers) and contacting support (and continuing their unsuccessful attempts to fix the problem), this keeps happening and causing major problems in competitive gaming (as well as with any kind of coding). . You'll dodge longer or just accidentally do something you shouldn't do. Heck, as you can see in this review, constantly sticky keys aren't something you want in a game or even in your day-to-day work. There doesn't seem to be a solid fix for this, and Synapse has been in beta for years, so I don't expect a fix to hit the keyboard any time soon. So my suggestion is: Serious gamers and developers should stay away from this product and probably all Razerr keyboards. A NOTICE. This review has not been modified, apart from correcting spelling mistakes. The repeated keys you see are typing at normal speed on the keyboard. So imagine what it's like to play games or write code? To put it mildly, it's a shame. UPDATE 4/16/2020: RRazerr reached out to me to help fix the keyboard (after replying to this review). However, after I replied to them about my problem, they replied with a "ticket" from their ticketing system and they never replied except for me to add more information. As you can see I'm still using the same keyboard and having the same problem (I can't find a newer keyboard to replace this POS yet).
