Praise
“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.”
Leonardo I.Verified buyer· via Epomaker
Critique
“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”

Praise
“Exactly what I wanted. Swapped out the switches for some Gateron Zero degree fully silent switches. Mechanical but almost completely silent, works a dream!”
