Macro support is clearly present and repeatedly mentioned as part of the board’s practical everyday customization set.
Both direct reviews speak positively about the materials, especially the aluminum chassis and overall premium feel.
Reviewers like the material mix of aluminum and ABS, finding it premium enough for the price while keeping the board practical for a low-profile design.
The direct evidence points to useful knob-based media-style control, with one review also noting knob remapping in software.
Media controls are easy to access through knob functions or software remapping, which adds day-to-day convenience.
The only direct sound commentary says the switches have a soft typing sound, which suggests moderate noise rather than a harsh report.
Noise level depends heavily on switch choice; the silent option is genuinely quiet, but the board still retains recognizable mechanical character with other switches.
One direct review says the keyboard can store up to three profiles, supporting limited onboard storage.
Direct Q3 HE 8K coverage confirms per-key lighting hardware, with each key described as having south-facing backlighting.
Reviews explicitly call out the lack of per-key RGB programming, so lighting control is broad but not granular.
