> 3 dayHonestly, I rather enjoy this keyboard. Ive owned an Huntsman mini and prefer this one over that. I feel as if its more responsive and the low profile is fantastic. Definitely recommend

Greater than one weekI actually switched out my Corsair Rapidfire MK2 for this keyboard. It feels incredibly premium, about 1/3 the size of my old KB and I couldnt be happier with my decision. The Swarm software has a little bit to go for customization of the lighting like adding layers for more advanced designs but the KB itself is top notch. If anyone knows what a custom kb sounds like, this is very very damn close to that with a similar feel. Best kb ive used in the last decade.

> 3 dayLets address the negatives. Yes, the keys can ping upon press. I dont care. Most of my mechanical keyboards make a lot of noise. I dont need silence, nor do I search for it. Go buy a Brown Cherry MX keyboard and find a product that was made for you if you dont like noisy switches. For the rest of us, these Titan Opticals are fast and responsive. The rebound and response are excellent, and it feels good to type and game on. For gamers, the W keycap has a little bump like your F and J keys for re-centering without looking. Actuation happens before you bottom out like most switches and the linear is great without any feedback until you bottom out. If you need feedback on actuation, Titan Optical is not for you. Choose the Titan Tactile Mechanical or similar. For the person that complained for the lack of dedicated media keys doesnt read the instructions. You can set F9-F12 dedicated to media keys as I do not use those keys on a regular basis (FN+DEL locks out only F9-F12 to media until you set it back). With the mute and volume knob its great for streaming music or Youtube. Game mode (FN+PGDOWN) locks out windows keys like most keyboards. Overall super happy with it. The only downside (and I didnt take off a star) is the FN+END which turn FN into another windows key works, but you cant revert back without unplugging the keyboard. Considering my K65 Corsair doesnt even give me that option on the hardware side, I cant fault this bug. The Titan Optical Switches are compatible with Cherry MX keycaps fyi as Ive swapped some of my Corsair keycaps just to see, but honestly the keycaps are great and I have no plans to swap them. One last note, the RGB lighting is north not south which I feel is pretty standard. Spacebar is 6.25u not 6.5u like most keyboards.

> 3 dayIve had plenty of keyboards before of all kinds including with laptops included. This keyboard definitely has a custom click to it but it is a nice click for sure! I do like how each key sounds, enter, backspace are especially nice. Not sure what the above reviewers are talking about with some kind of ringing to the click, I hear none of that. That would be way too particular for me though so its not even a thing. Im a software engineer so I do type quite fast. This is the first time Ive tried a TKL board for home use but I dont use the other pad that often so well try it because the compact size is welcome! I also enjoy the lighting schemes especially the main intelligent typing one that lights the keys up as you type with more emphasis on ones held longer or pushed more while change colors throughout. Its kinda like a heat map almost. Beautiful keyboard for sure and I can tell that the quickness is pretty snappy. Not sure how to gauge the value/money ratio but I didnt buy this for value or money, I bought this for premium and coolness first then functionality for the money second.

> 3 dayAlthough it looks and sounds nice, I have a really hard time typing on it. I cant even manage to get through a Google keyword search without hitting a new that I didnt mean to. I think its the distance between the keys. The keyboard that I was using before had keys right up against each other, these have a pretty large gap between them, just under a quarter inch. Nonetheless this is my personal home computer keyboard, so I dont do a lot of typing. Hopefully Ill get used to it eventually.

> 3 dayI tried this keyboard for about 3 weeks. I thought Id get used to it but I never did. It was really hard to get used to the strange spacing, or the keys themselves. Either way, a lot of typos and not very comfortable. It looks nice and the material is good quality, but for actual work I dont recommend this.

> 3 dayThe build quality is great, there is no wobble of the keys, and the typing experience is solid. The issues I have with it are the lack of compatibility of the Swarm software that is required to take advantage of many of this keyboards features. If you dont have a Windows computer you are limited to what functions are pre built into the keyboard and the 3 (yes 3) onboard lighting effects. For the record these effects are gradient on (some orange color gradient,) rainbow flow right, and rainbow flow left. For a keyboard that has awesome clear switch housings, the limited number of on board RGB lighting effects is unforgivable.

> 3 dayLove everything about this keyboard. How solid it is....how easily and quickly the keys respond. All the extra clicky bits and even the removable USB-C LED bits are vibrant. Could use more theme options in the Roccat software fopr the RGB. And the key spacing does take some getting used to.......ESPECIALLY if your coming from Membrane keyboard like I am (Microsoft Arc wireless) For those 2 things.....Ill give it 4 stars. But only because 4 1/2 was not an option
