“I like this keyboard but the battery check method is awful. It's totally inaccurate so my keyboard dies out of nowhere. If they fixed that I'd love this thing.”

Praise
“Amazing. Love the weight, keycaps, color. Knob placement could be much better. Spacebar leans to one side since I always press it on the right and gets uneven.”

Critique
“Keystrokes doesn’t have light instead a rainbow where i can’t focus when typing”
