Review: Excellent keyboard for the money - Why did you choose this product over others?: Needed a new keyboard having been stuck with a cheap mechanical one with some very sketchy blue switches for too long. Aided with some handy vouchers from work I decided to splurge. The screen on this keyboard is a gimmick but also nice to have a clock available when in a game/watching something full screen and you've once again misplaced your watch - screen is excellent quality and can have GIFs looping on it however does require the supporting software to be open/running which isn't worth the effort unless you want to show off. Weight: Surprisingly heavy, albeit my only previous experience with mechanical keyboards was with fairly cheap and nasty ones whereas this keyboard feels well made and solid Value for money: Excellent value for money, switches have a nice sound and feels very nice to type on. Battery life: No idea, only ever used it plugged in so could be good but might not be. Might try it one day but never far enough from the desk to justify it Build quality: Really good, whole keyboard is solid and well put together. Switches feel good, as do keycaps. Screen is surprisingly good. Feel: A joy compared to every other keyboard I've ever used.
Review: Good keyboard and sounds great! - Good keyboard. Weighs quite a bit despite the size but really lovely. The brightness is a good and the keys sound really nice. Has a good battery life and good functionality with a little digital screen and volume knob.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I’m in love!
*by C***S on 28 September 2024*

Amazing keyboard, sounds gorgeous, looks even better and a great price. The only con is that the keyboard has the 2 wrong where you would press it for “ but it still does this, when you press the 2 but in the keycap it shows the @ symbol. But this is only a minor cosmetic issue and you can buy key caps of this annoys you. The little screen is brilliant, even if it is a bit of a gimmick. I love the fact you can connect via Bluetooth, wireless 2.4ghz or wire. I used to have the Logitech G915 and I must say I think this is a better keyboard. So as my title says, I love this keyboard!! It looks and feels great.
