“I'm using it well. However, it would be nice if the right shift key was smaller so there was only one more key. Thank you for making a great keyboard.”

“This keyboard is exactly what I was looking for. Low profile, great switches, not uber gamery. Very happy so far, hopefully it keeps working for a long time.”
