Material quality is high, mixing aluminum, steel, quality plastics, and enthusiast-style components in a premium package.
The knob can handle media-related tasks and is customizable beyond the default behavior.
Media control support is useful overall, though the dial and rocker implementation can be less satisfying than a traditional wheel.
The board is generally quiet to moderate in noise, though some reviewers note a louder space bar or a bit of spring ping.
Noise is well managed, especially with quieter switches, and several reviews call the board notably quiet for a gaming keyboard.
One review explicitly mentions three profiles saved in the keyboard's internal memory.
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.
