“This is one built keyboard. Heavy duty and beautiful. Not a scratch on her and worth every penny. I put the Onyx set on her cuz Ima cat person. Love the lil gif window too. 10/10!”

“The layout is more comfortable than the razor. The pad isn't very soft and it would be nice if it had a tilt adjustment. I like that it includes shine through keycaps unlike their backlit keyboards. I'm happy I bought it.”
“Make it ortholinear or columnar staggered and I'll buy it. I have an ageing Razor Nostromo and I want to replace it with something that has real Linux support (and the ZSA Moonlander it too expensive).”
