Key stability looks improved overall, though one review still notices a minor wobble.
Reviews portray the wireless link as low-latency and highly stable.
Wireless latency is repeatedly described as very low and close to wired behavior.
One review mentions that layouts and languages vary by region, but evidence for broader layout choice is limited.
Review coverage confirms both full-size and TKL layout options in the lineup.
Shine-through legends are present and generally readable.
Legend visibility is good with lighting on, but some reviews say readability drops when RGB is off or coverage is uneven on certain keys.
Macro recording and remapping support are explicitly mentioned.
Macro support is a real strength, with dedicated G keys, KEYCONTROL, direct recording, and layered assignment options.
Reviews repeatedly highlight high-quality aluminum and other premium internal materials.
Brushed aluminum and upgraded PBT caps are repeatedly highlighted as premium material choices.

Source specs explicitly mention per-key RGB lighting.
Per-key lighting control is clearly supported, with individual key color changes available in software.
Reviews repeatedly mention 8,000 Hz support, though not all think it matters much for a keyboard.
Evidence supports a gaming-grade 1000 Hz report rate, but not a class-leading one versus faster rivals.
The board is repeatedly described as heavy, making portability a clear weakness.
The slim design helps portability, especially for TKL coverage, but full-size versions are less bag-friendly.
App-specific and game-specific profile management is supported and repeatedly mentioned as useful.
