Key stability looks improved overall, though one review still notices a minor wobble.
Wireless latency is repeatedly described as very low and close to wired behavior.
One review explicitly says no input lag was noticed.
Review coverage confirms both full-size and TKL layout options in the lineup.
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 support is a real strength, with dedicated G keys, KEYCONTROL, direct recording, and layered assignment options.
Multiple reviews say macros or special-function remapping are available in software.
Brushed aluminum and upgraded PBT caps are repeatedly highlighted as premium material choices.
The aluminum or metal case is repeatedly cited as a premium material choice.
Dedicated media controls are consistently useful and well executed.
Noise varies by switch and preference, ranging from office-manageable to quite loud during heavy typing.
One review says the keyboard is not too loud.
Some settings and profiles can be stored on the device, but richer behavior and complex macros still depend heavily on software.
Per-key lighting control is clearly supported, with individual key color changes available in software.
One review shows per-key custom lighting selection exists, but also says it did not properly apply on the board.
Evidence supports a gaming-grade 1000 Hz report rate, but not a class-leading one versus faster rivals.
8,000Hz polling support is mentioned across multiple reviews.
The slim design helps portability, especially for TKL coverage, but full-size versions are less bag-friendly.
One review says the board is heavier than a typical plastic keyboard, which hurts portability.
App-specific and game-specific profile management is supported and repeatedly mentioned as useful.
One review says it could not find a way to set a different profile.
Reviews explicitly note that rapid trigger support is absent, with some rivals offering it instead.
Every review mentions rapid trigger support as part of the core feature set.
Day-to-day reliability is positive in the evidence, with reviewers reporting stable use and no meaningful issues.
Reliability impressions split: some reviews report no issues in use, while others describe crashes or finicky setup behavior.
RGB customization is deep overall, with broad effect and assignment control, though one review wanted more flexible effect mixing.
Lighting customization exists, but reviews disagree on execution because some changes worked while other reviewers saw lighting fail to update.

One review says the RGB looks pretty nice.
The low-profile, ultra-thin form factor is one of the product's biggest strengths, though full-size versions take more room.
