Legend visibility is a weak point when the lighting is off, with multiple reviewers saying the legends are hard to see.
Macro support is present and useful across the reviews, though the software experience for setting macros is not praised equally by everyone.
Macro support exists, but reviewers repeatedly note limits around secondary layers and more advanced mapping flexibility.
Materials quality is a standout, driven by repeated praise for the aluminum or aluminum-magnesium top plate and the premium feel it gives the keyboard.
Material quality is high, mixing aluminum, steel, quality plastics, and enthusiast-style components in a premium package.
Media controls are functional rather than premium. The keyboard offers shortcut-based media control, but several reviewers miss dedicated buttons.
Media control support is useful overall, though the dial and rocker implementation can be less satisfying than a traditional wheel.
Noise level is one of the main tradeoffs. Some switch versions are fairly controlled, but GX Blue can be loud enough to bother nearby people.
Noise is well managed, especially with quieter switches, and several reviews call the board notably quiet for a gaming keyboard.
Reviews mention onboard memory or onboard profile storage for saving settings directly to the keyboard.
Onboard profile storage is a real advantage, letting users keep multiple saved configurations on the keyboard itself.
The USB passthrough is generally useful for mice, charging, or extra peripherals, but multiple reviews wish it were faster than USB 2.0.
Passthrough and extra ports are a clear weakness, because reviewers explicitly note the lack of USB passthrough and audio jacks.
Several reviews explicitly mention per-key lighting control, including per-key color selection and per-key RGB customization.
Per-key lighting control is well supported, with reviewers highlighting both per-key RGB hardware and detailed tuning options.
One review explicitly cites a 1ms report rate as part of the G512's update set, supporting strong polling-rate performance.
The 1,000Hz polling rate is in line with premium wireless gaming boards and was treated as fully competitive in reviews.
Portability is weak. Reviews repeatedly note that the keyboard is heavy, which helps desk stability but makes it less portable.
Portability is mixed: the compact layout helps with travel, but the weight makes it less convenient than lighter small boards.
The keyboard supports game-specific or software-managed profiles, and reviews also mention saved profile handling.
Profile management is solid, with multiple stored profiles and quick switching available for different setups or tasks.
Reliability evidence is mixed. One review describes it as a solid long-term keyboard, while another reports a failed passthrough/static issue on an early unit.
