Key stability is mostly good, but one reviewer specifically noted minor wobble on some caps during rapid presses.
One review explicitly frames the wired connection as delivering zero latency, no interference, and no input drops.
The 8,000Hz mode is fast on paper, but several reviewers say the real-world benefit is hard or impossible to notice.
Software-level layout flexibility is a plus, with reviewers noting active layout changes and support beyond the default QWERTY setup.
Legend visibility is mixed to poor on some keys, with repeated notes about uneven illumination on larger legends and limited local-language backlighting.
Legend clarity is mixed: some reviewers say the legends shine through well or help identify functions, while others find them cluttered or less clear.
Macro and multi-step input support is a clear feature, with reviews mentioning recorded macros, personalized macros, and dynamic or multi-action key behavior.
Reviews consistently mention macro recording and remapping both in software and via onboard controls.
Materials quality is generally strong thanks to the steel plate and PBT caps, though one review notes the broader package still feels more plastic than some rivals.
Material impressions are mixed: strong PBT keycaps and solid construction help, but the plastic case keeps the board from feeling truly premium to everyone.
Dedicated media controls are a common omission across reviews, with multiple writers calling out the lack of easy-access playback controls.
Reviewers like that media controls are present on the 60% layout, though they rely on secondary functions.
Noise output is a strength: the board is repeatedly described as quiet, reduced in audible feedback, and free of unwanted echo.
Noise is a recurring weakness, with multiple reviews describing the board as loud, pingy, scratchy, or hollow.
Onboard profiles are available, but at least one reviewer notes that accessing and saving them is less direct than it should be.
