Material quality is high, mixing aluminum, steel, quality plastics, and enthusiast-style components in a premium package.
Media controls are present and usable, though implementation varies between dedicated buttons and secondary functions.
Media control support is useful overall, though the dial and rocker implementation can be less satisfying than a traditional wheel.
Noise levels are mixed: some reviewers call it surprisingly controlled, while others say the clack carries further than expected.
Noise is well managed, especially with quieter switches, and several reviews call the board notably quiet for a gaming keyboard.
Onboard memory supports stored settings or profiles that can travel with the keyboard.
Onboard profile storage is a real advantage, letting users keep multiple saved configurations on the keyboard itself.
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 supported through Alienware Command Center.
Per-key lighting control is well supported, with reviewers highlighting both per-key RGB hardware and detailed tuning options.
