Funny but limited

After all the reviews I was really excited about this keyboard. But there are some things nobody talks about that will definitely make me reconsider buying this keyboard. BENEFITS: # Small - perfect size for small desks or mobile devices. # Material - The keys feel comfortable and smooth and sound great too. (red switches) # RGB is fun, pretty bright, lots of patterns to choose from (including animation speed), no software required to change color or pattern, any color you want in the RGB gamut, and can even be programmed individually by key via software ( image added). # Weight - It's heavy, some won't like it, but I like it because it feels solid and doesn't move or slip anywhere even with a little pressure (the rubber that pops up on the back helps too) CONS: # Software - RK official site has software and drivers on their website that does not recognize the keyboard, if you want to program macros/keybindings/custom key colors - you need software. I finally found a working version on Reddit from a nice user who uploaded an older version, not the safest way to download things online I think, but it works. -12 and Fn keys. so 3 actions for each button. There are two modes for these keys and you need to switch between them "Fn+Left Ctrl", you can't use them all together. eg: Mode 1: press 5 = number 5 press Fn+5 = F5 Mode 2: press 5 = F5 press Fn+5 = stop music Overall I like this keyboard and will probably use it until it doesn't die anymore or until I die Function keys are too annoying. but if you want a compact, durable, fun and maybe even portable keyboard then go for it. If you need to switch Fn/Number/F1-12 keys frequently, you need to get used to 2 modes. 3/5 for the function key user (mostly music) who also writes numbers. 4/5 for the rest of the folks who aren't interested, sorry for the long review, I hope this helps!
