Beautiful keyboard for every use

This is a great keyboard! At first glance, that didn't convince me at all. It was just different than other keyboards I've had, mostly because of the pudding keycaps that didn't exist before. but i started using it and researching day by day and i ended up really liking it. In fact, I already liked these caps! In addition to the included ABS keycaps, you can order an upgraded set of 104 PBT keycaps separately, which I will be ordering soon. Let's start with the RGB lighting, you have 5 levels of brightness, 1 is off and 5 is the brightest, which is way too much. to me. I use it at 2 o'clock in the dark, which is the most convenient for me. The RGB transition is very smooth and well done. Love it! It's also highly configurable with NGENUITY software (currently in beta, this sometimes doesn't work). The keyboard also has an onboard memory with 3 presets that can also be customized. Build Quality: Built like a tank, heavy metal and high quality plastic. There are no complaints. The metal volume knob is great, as are the multimedia keys. Sorry, the palm rest accessory is not included. writing experience. Using this keyboard was very pleasant in terms of sound and ease of typing. It's smooth and satisfying, keystrokes become an easy task with this keyboard as it requires very little effort to activate each key (45g pressure), it makes your typing faster, better and effortless. In fact, activating a button is so easy that you may occasionally touch buttons you didn't mean to. Software: That has to be the only weak point, the software sometimes doesn't work properly, for example when I select the lightning effect I want and click "Add" it restores the default ripple effect. The software also cannot be minimized to the taskbar. Unboxing experience: It was a little disappointing as nothing else was included apart from the keyboard. No keycaps, extra keycaps, wrist rest, extra cables or tools of any kind. The box contains instructions only and not a fully protected keyboard. The 129 keyboard would have been nice if it had some extras, but you don't get anything. Overall it's a solid 9.5/10, the software doesn't spoil my experience as I like the standard effect.
