Noise is well managed, especially with quieter switches, and several reviews call the board notably quiet for a gaming keyboard.
Onboard memory is a recurring positive, with 8MB storage and large profile capacity repeatedly cited.
Onboard profile storage is a real advantage, letting users keep multiple saved configurations on the keyboard itself.
The board lacks USB passthrough, and the only direct review evidence treats that as a missing feature.
Passthrough and extra ports are a clear weakness, because reviewers explicitly note the lack of USB passthrough and audio jacks.
Per-key lighting control is a clear strength, with individual key lighting adjustments repeatedly confirmed.
