“Looks good, sounds good, preformed good but the software is a bit slow to recognise the keyboard and one of the clips on the back is a bit broken, it is hard to click and is loud”

“My all time favorite keyboard -- awesome aesthetics, great functionality, types like a dream, and brings just the right amount of fun and whimsy to my new setup.”
“Love the build quality of the keyboard especially for the price but I swear this is some of the worst software I have ever seen or used for anything you guys really need to sort that out”
