First off, the RGB lighting on this keyboard is *chef's kiss*. I’ve got it cycling through rainbow waves while I work, and it legit makes my desk look like a mini rave. The 11 lighting modes are fun to play with—my favorite’s the reactive mode where keys light up as I type. It’s not just flashy; the stepped PBT keycaps feel sturdy, and they haven’t shiny even after my marathon gaming sessions.

Typing on the stock red switches is smooth but a tad noisy (think tap-dancing fingers, not thunder). Good news: hot-swapping is a breeze. I popped in some silent yellows for late-night work, and now it’s library-quiet. Pro tip: Double-check your switches are 3-pin before buying replacements—I learned that the hard way.

The 87-key layout is genius. It’s compact enough to leave room for my mouse during FPS games but keeps the numpad for spreadsheet hell. The anti-ghosting? Flawless. Spamming WASD + shift + abilities in Valorant has never been cleaner. Only gripe: The ABS keycaps can get slippery during sweaty matches, but I swapped them for textured ones and problem solved.

Battery life shocked me. Even with RGB at max, it lasts through a 10-hour workday + gaming. And that software? Super intuitive for tweaking macros or lighting. For the price, this keyboard’s a steal—just be ready to fall down the customization rabbit hole.
