Customer Feedback and Reviews
- “The keyboard itself is super nice, and the RGB is very nice too. Great sounding keyboard and overall really nice.”
- “I’ve had this keyboard for a long time now and I can tell you that is the greatest investment I’ve ever made, beautiful, used it for a custom, and worked perfectly as the base.“
- “Works well in 2.4 GHz with dongle or wired. However, in Bluetooth mode, the keyboard had latency issues with sometimes one key press sending multiple clicks of a key to the PC. Even when it sent one character for one key press, it intermittently would take too long for someone using this for games and even would be annoying for typing in documents.”
