“This is a great keyboard! It looks amazing, and it sounds incredible. I made it my main work keyboard so I could experience typing on it as much as possible.”
“I should have looked in the VIA supported keyboards list. The marketing said VIA compatible, but it's not "supported". You have to manually import a bare-bones JSON file that lacks tons of features that other VIA keyboards have. This keyboard is nicely built…”

“My first better keyboard and I am absolutely satisfied. We'll see how it works after a longer time. I just thought of one small thing, I have nowhere to hide the receiver when I leave with just the laptop and I want to leave the keyboard at home. Like you can…”
“Beware of the double-clicking issue. I have got 2 units of this. They're both having the same problem and worse.”
