“Best keyboard ever purchased. its quiet, great lighting, customizable and comdortable. Inhighly recommended!!!”
“After a couple months of using this keyboard it began doubling the space bar input. I took it apart, cleaned it, there's something wrong with the internals. The keys are nice and it works otherwise. But it has an intrinsic problem. Would not recommend.”
