The product suited me, I will recommend it to my friends.

-The wrist rest is soft and leatherette, of course it looks elitist, but in practice, your native pad on your hand is purple, on another artificial pad under it. If there was plastic, the hand would not be upset. But the durability of leatherette is clearly inferior to plastic.
-FastCharge will not work through a USB-A to USB-C adapter. I'm not an expert on versions and USB ports, just for information. Because FastCharge charges at least 2 times faster than conventional charging.
- The charge, as for me, holds a very long time. With the settings: keyboard sleep after 5 minutes, blue backlight, 50% brightness, lasted exactly for a week. The computer is turned on 16 hours a day, of which 6 hours I definitely use the keyboard.
-The volume roller was metal, it spins clearly, a little tight, it's even good.
-Cable 2 meters

Pros

-Switches compared to the original Cherry mx RED have a small resistance at the beginning of the stroke. Because of this, you don't have to strain too hard to keep your fingers in the air when they're on WASD so they don't accidentally hit the button. It also saves you from accidentally pressing neighboring keys when typing. -The quadruple key support system really works, even the spacebar falls down with the whole body smoothly when you press the edge of the button. - In wireless mode and sleep mode, the pressed key immediately wakes up the keyboard and works itself (except for multimedia keys) -There are no overdressed drawings and forms on the case, any tubules where dirt will clog in the future. Easy to clean. -Numpad from any side, a great idea not only for macro lovers, but just convenient, freely, when it is on the left, to vary the distance between the keyboard and mouse. -In general, it is difficult to add pluses that are not listed in the reviews, everything is true there :)

Cons

-Sometimes there are double clicks when typing, maybe it's not the fault of the keyboard, but the fault of the rattling in my fingers. I think this should not happen in the version with Blue switches. - A decent gap in width and depth in the body of the numpad (pictured), between the multimedia keys and the volume roller. Dirt collector. Further inside the case, this gap goes with half the width, but still, over time, dirt will collect inside the numpad case. -Multimedia keys do not have backlight -The side plugs on the numpad have a backlash of 1mm, back and forth. Everything is ok on the plugs of the main unit, they fit perfectly. -Some miracles with CapsLock, if you touch Caps with Shift held down, then the Caps mode will turn on, but the light will not, in general, it starts to work the other way around. The bug is not always reproducible. - Software is the main disadvantage. The list of applications will be replenished with 13 programs. Profile on profile, profile drives. Works only with internal keyboard profiles (6 pieces), local profiles are just templates that can be applied to internal (saves). Everything takes a long time to load and sync. Takes off. Does not find the keyboard, as much as you need to restart the PC. Lying about% charge. The software for customizing the backlight apparently does not understand that the numpad can be on different sides or be absent altogether, as a result, it highlights the wrong buttons. In general, all possible bugs that you can imagine are kindly added to the software from Asus.

Its pros: Beautiful and pleasant, but only externally (. Some cons: ISABELLA! The more I use, the more glitches! "Sticking" keys, shutdowns, braking, etc., etc. I don't know what caused it. Disabling doesn't always help.
