Typing comfort was generally favorable, helped by accurate typing, cushioning, and satisfying feedback, especially with preferred switches.

-
Per-key lighting control was supported by multiple reviews that liked individual-key or per-key RGB adjustment.

Backlighting was viewed positively, with powerful LEDs and transparent caps helping the RGB stand out.
-
Noise level varied by configuration, from muted and late-night-friendly to a louder clack on some switch/keycap combinations.
