“I like the feel and the sounds the keyboard has. However, one of the foot is missing, and there's no feature to disable the backlight from numlock.”
“Had it for maybe a month or two and it no longer works, the lighting is gone and it won’t even turn on now”

“just received the keyboard. I am so happy with it!! I chose the Cotton Candy switches, and this is exactly what I was looking for. I had tried other mechanical keyboards before, but they were never quite what I wanted. These switches are so soft and feel…”
“The overall build quality and the feel is amazing but it sometimes restarts itself for no apparent reason (every 3h or so) when used wired.”
