Praise
“Keyboard works great. Turned right spacebar into backspace, added back "+=" button to main layer and replaced caps lock with tab with very usefull web browser app. Amazing product. And the RGB looks great. Only downside is that you can't 100% perfectly fit…”

“"This keyboard is heavier than a gaming laptop, which makes it sturdy and stable. Typing on it feels smooth and effortless, especially with the red switches, which I'm very satisfied with. The delivery time to Thailand was surprisingly quick."”
