Absolutely not worth it

This is my second time editing this review. I liked this keyboard from the start, then I didn't like it as soon as I started using it, and then after a few days I generally liked it considering I would have to use the poor quality keycaps that came with this thing . After using it for several months I hate it. I got a low profile and the keycaps immediately started fraying/shiny. Immediately means within an hour and a half of use. I've tried other caps but even the Cherry profile is too high to work with these switches. If you have one of those typewriter style keycaps, they'll probably work just fine, but if you need molded keycaps, stick with these. For several months I tried very hard to like this keyboard. I kept telling myself I'll get used to it, we're just not used to the double keystrokes on Cherry MX Speed switches etc. I was struggling towards the end because I lost almost $100 on this thing. . nope This keyboard stinks. As mentioned in many other reviews, there is a major issue with double keystrokes. If you use this primarily for typing, flip now. My WPM has dropped significantly due to all the errors coming from this keyboard. In addition, the switches are soldered in, so they cannot be swapped out during operation. That means you're stuck with junk keycaps and overly sensitive/error-prone switches. I give 2 stars because the light is bright and the setting is beautiful. I love that the software lets you "create" colors. Almost every gaming keyboard has this, however, so overall this keyboard is too expensive for all the trouble and inability to customize it. Basically, you're paying for a name that doesn't match the price or hype. I ended up swallowing the $100 loss and buying a much better and cheaper branded keyboard that I know is reliable. This stack is now in a storage closet in case I ever need a backup or something.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • No instructions
