Amazing Wireless Keyboard for Mac Gamers!

This keyboard is a game-changer for Mac gamers who want a wireless mechanical keyboard. It has amazing features such as backlighting and a rechargeable battery. The typing experience is smooth and precise, and it connects easily to computers. The only drawback is the price, but it is worth it for those seeking the best quality. Computers will thank you for this upgrade to your gaming setup.

Pros
  • Long battery life and compatibility with both Mac and Windows
Cons
  • The keys may feel too loud for some users' preferences

This keyboard has potential but also some serious flaws

What initially attracted me to this keyboard was its looks and Bluetooth connectivity, although I was also curious how they compare to another TKL model I own from another manufacturer (also with brown Gateron switches). I like that the keys are a bit notchy, but as others have pointed out, the plastic case makes the keystrokes sound a bit punchy (not louder per se, just different, a bit more resonant). My real complaints are with the thickness, it's significantly thicker than other TKL…

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Some difficulties

Uncomfortably Thick

Aesthetically pleasing but not for me. I ended up having two problems with the keyboard: 1. Too thick for me to type comfortably.2. Mismatched feel and key travel. Recommendations for point 1: - I've seen test videos disassembling this keyboard and it seems like there's a lot of extra space inside the case. This leads me to believe this is for aesthetic reasons - this keyboard should actually be about twice as thin as it is now. Ultimately I decided to return this keyboard as it doesn't suit me

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Infinitely saggy
