(This is literally my only complaint, but it is something others prefer, so I will explain below).Īll in all, the expensive switches were totally worth it. I also bought some Cherry-profile, PBT, side-lit key caps so that I could see the lighting through the key caps.

These are very expensive, but I decided to take a gamble on better switches. Because this is offered barebones, I was able to purchase really nice Gateron Box Ink V2 Pink switches instead. My decision was based on wanting to spend more of my budget on the quality of the switches rather than the frame and board. Wireless, wired, programmable, four quick-swap profiles, RGB LEDs (but not per-key programmable), hotswap switches, three different Bluetooth pairings, easily torn down, and supposedly a really nice typing experience even if it isn't quite as nice as the Q-series. For one, the price is very nice for what you get.

After looking at a lot of keyboards, I settled on this one because it hit right in the middle of a lot of nice areas. I finally decided to spend $200-250 on a keyboard and try to find something much closer to what I wanted. All in all, they are pretty good keyboards, but I was always unhappy with the limitations of the keyboards, lack of ongoing software support for the oldest one, and most of all I didn't like the wobbliness of the keys (which were soldered on, of course). I own two other mechanical keyboards I bought in an attempt to really be happy with my typing experience.
