Full compliance with the manufacturers assurances, high quality.

This is the best and quietest red switch keyboard for the money. Although they are not cherry, it is not possible to tell them apart. The assembly is very solid, it weighs about 1.3kg, more than a conventional mechanic. Nothing backlash, no creaks. The design is strict and neat, the fonts are beautiful, there are no unnecessary inscriptions on the buttons. Very nice keyboard.

I installed transparent o-rings 1.5mm on all keycaps, now it has become even quieter. I am very glad. I am sure that she has no competitors for 5 thousand in our difficult time.

Pros

Red linear switches (very similar to Cherry MX Red, there is a Funс keyboard nearby, they are one to one, but this is Kailh Long Hua). Thick keycaps (which can be replaced with any universal ones from cherry). Quiet. Good RGB lighting. If you replace the keycaps with opaque Double-shot PBT, the backlight will still be visible on the substrate. Detachable wrist rest. All keys, including the space bar, sound good, there are no stabilizer bounces. Macros.

Cons

3 levels of backlight brightness (off, 50% and 100%). You cannot select a static color for different keys. Either a wave (or other effects), or one color is static. One-story enter. The wire is not black, but braided in a blue checker, it does not look very good. : When the alt + tab key combination is enabled in the software, if you hold ALT for a long time, a software bug occurs and other keys, such as AWSD, are randomly blocked. Disabled the function and everything is fine. The software is of course the same, almost stupid.
