“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.”

Praise
“Love the keyboard and goes well with the switches i got. Size was bigger than expected but weight is truly high quality Could do with a force break mod though as it is a little pingy”
