“The Galaxy70 is super thocky with the zebra switches. Great choice if that's the sound profile you're looking for! The alu case is super heavy and well built.”
“so I bought this keyboard, I was essentially really excited about it. looked good, nice price and from a company I trusted. The keyboard arrived, I plugged it in, and it didn't respond properly.The software could not be detected by my PC for whatever reason…”
