“I was tossing up between a lot of the keyboards but decided with this one and I don’t regret it. It’s got a good weight to it, love the thocky sound. Would recommend”
“Paid for Shipping protection and my pacakage never came in when I contacted support they told me to talk to the company that shipped it and that they had nothing to do with it.”

“Worked perfectly, best keyboard I've ever owned. For one hour. After that all RGB turned off, and the main function of the keyboard (Typing), no longer works. I can't type with it, the web launcher doesn't detect it either, just don't waste your money.”
