Customer Reviews
Best keyboard for FPS games
The stealth key design really does help avoid accidental presses during intense matches. Build quality feels premium and the RGB looks fantastic.
Great switches, wish it had media keys
Typing and gaming feel great with the Cherry MX Red switches, but I do miss having dedicated volume controls like on other keyboards.
Solid daily driver
Been using this for six months now, still feels sturdy. The wrist rest is comfortable for long sessions, though the keycap coating shows wear.
Worth the investment
The IP56 rating gave me peace of mind after a minor spill. Software could be lighter, but overall performance is excellent.
