Key stability looks improved overall, though one review still notices a minor wobble.
One review explicitly says input stays responsive without noticeable delay.
Wireless latency is repeatedly described as very low and close to wired behavior.
Reviews confirm ISO and ANSI choices, but the board is still limited to a full-size layout.
Review coverage confirms both full-size and TKL layout options in the lineup.
Shine-through and translucent legends are praised, though some labels or indicators are criticized as harder to read or oversized.
Legend visibility is good with lighting on, but some reviews say readability drops when RGB is off or coverage is uneven on certain keys.
Reviews say keys and macro buttons can be remapped and assigned through the software.
Macro support is a real strength, with dedicated G keys, KEYCONTROL, direct recording, and layered assignment options.
Reviews like the brushed aluminum top plate but note an ABS or plastic lower shell and some less-premium touches.
Brushed aluminum and upgraded PBT caps are repeatedly highlighted as premium material choices.
Reviews consistently note the wheel or knob and mute/media functions as convenient and easy to use.
Dedicated media controls are consistently useful and well executed.
Nearly every review highlights very low typing noise for a mechanical keyboard.
Noise varies by switch and preference, ranging from office-manageable to quite loud during heavy typing.
Reviews mention saved onboard profiles or lighting memory that can be edited from the browser or keyboard software.
Some settings and profiles can be stored on the device, but richer behavior and complex macros still depend heavily on software.
Reviews explicitly mention per-key lighting and individual-zone or per-key control options.
Per-key lighting control is clearly supported, with individual key color changes available in software.
Reviews repeatedly cite a standard 1,000Hz polling rate with NKRO.
Evidence supports a gaming-grade 1000 Hz report rate, but not a class-leading one versus faster rivals.
A few reviews call it lighter than expected for a full-size board and somewhat portable, though still large.
The slim design helps portability, especially for TKL coverage, but full-size versions are less bag-friendly.
Reviews mention creating, saving, editing, and switching multiple profiles, including onboard browser-based profile handling.
App-specific and game-specific profile management is supported and repeatedly mentioned as useful.
Reviews explicitly state that Rapid Trigger and similar adjustable actuation features are absent.
