Title: Has been amazing to use
Review: As a gamer, but also a casual user, I don’t want a keyboard that has 0.00001ms response time and 0.0001mm of actuation; I want something that’s useable. I want something that I can play games on, as well as actually use my PC as a computer without having to switch keyboards or make a million typos. This keyboard does all of that.Everything about this keyboard is perfect. There are so many little things that are so well thought out it just amazes me how other brands don’t do this. For $159, this keyboard is on the pricy side, but in my opinion it is well worth it. I’ve had maybe 10 gaming keyboards in the past 2 years, and let’s just say that I’ve done my fair share of returns. But this keyboard I’ve kept.Some things I like about this keyboard are:- it sounds nice and not cheap at all- the keycaps feel nice to type on and they don’t wear out, and the font is very readable and the RGB shines through nicely- how lighting profiles are also ON-BOARD PROFILES (aka, whenever you switch to use the keyboard with another device, it’ll save the last used lighting preset. Random tangent but I don’t know why more companies won’t do this with their keyboards, it’s not that hard, and in my opinion, that’s how keyboards should be!- the controls are easy to learn- the size is compact (maybe 1/2 an inch wider than a standard TKL keyboard)- the lighting effects are pretty, vibrant, bright, as well as being very customizable- the wireless and battery life both work great (I use my keyboard wired anyways)- easy to type on if you’re used to mechanical keyboards. If you’re used to something else, such as a laptop keyboard, it’ll take some getting used to as is with any mechanical keyboardThere isn’t anything that I don’t like about this keyboard. Everything is just there, and everything works great!

Title: Solid Keyboard
Review: This thing has some weight to it! This is nice because it stays where i put it. The keycaps have a very nice feeling to them being made with PBT plastic. The snow switches are very nice as well. They are responsive, but are not overly slickly or loud. Keyboard lighting is beautiful and get very bright. I usually set between 50-70%. The multi wheel feels solid and works as intended. The only complaint I really have is that the special characters on the number pad are not backlit. If you don’t know where each one is, you may have to turn a light on if you are actually working or using this keyboard for productivity.

Title: I switched from a Razer keyboard and I have no regrets.
Review: Pros:-I love the slim compact design of this keyboard it looks and feels amazing right out of the box.-The keys are really fun to type on it's what I like most about the keyboard they're smooth but not loud. I came from a linear keyboard because my wife complains about red switches when she's trying to watch TV in the same room but the dampeners with this keyboard keeps it quiet enough but still feel similar to red switches.-The battery life is outstanding the fact that it lasts so long and also automatically hibernates after not touching it for a while till you type on it again is perfect for me because I work from home and I already have enough wires so having a wireless keyboard that I can easily move around and not have to charge frequently is a win.-I love that you don't need to download Asus Armoury Crate for this keyboard to work that you can still change the color theme and make adjustments to it without having the software because I hated having Razer Synapse software just to be able to have different lights on my keyboard.-The wrist rest is actually perfectly designed it looks and feels amazing and although at first I wondered why it stood above the keyboard itself it actually is in the best spot when you're typing on the keyboard.Cons:-When switching over from a full size keyboard it does take time to get use to where some keys are like the arrow keys feel out of place as well as the essential keys like Home and Del button you have to keep rechecking where the keys are to press them.-I didn't like the swappable Asus branded space key even though it looks nicer and I would much rather use it's design it's more bulky and sticks out above the keys in front of it. I'm not sure why they didn't stay with the same size as the default one.-Although it's not a big deal I don't like that there is 4 options for the media scroll wheel that you switch between. I would much rather it only be Play/Pause/Forward/Back + Volume control and swap between those 2 rather than having the lighting and macro as part of it. I'm not sure if this is an option to remove them in the Asus Armoury Crate but I refuse to download it even though I have an Asus Motherboard I always avoid it because it's slow and buggy and I have iCue synced with my motherboard lighting and it will mess it up.

Review: Well built, compact, individual RGB per key, really handy scroll for volume and other shortcuts.Can change all config (device, RGB and shortcut options) without the app. Can even check battery status!Typing is fluid and soft, no click sound, fast actuation.Finally it's nice to have mouse + keyboard wireless with a single USB dongle (requires app for sync).The only downside is that it is difficult for me to get used to this layout since I'm used to full size keyboards, always using that middle cluster with HOME, END, PG DOWN, PG UP.

Review: Deben saber que vengo de usar el RAZER blackwidow chroma de hace 5 años very clicky. Este nuevo teclado ASUS es una gran experiencia, tiene buen peso y puedes manipular los switches de conexion sin sostener el teclado, el sonido del tecleo es espectacular, muy exquisito. Tiene plastico y metal, de muy buena calidad. Las teclas tiene una textura muy exquisita, me gusta que es hotswapable y lo podre modificar despues si quiero. Pero por el momento estoy muy satisfecho, el wireless es muy rapido y tambien lo uso con mi iPhone con el cual tambien funciona muy bien. Esteticamente es muy compacto y me encanta, ahorra mucho espacio a pesar de ser de 96%. Lo unico con lo que estoy batallando un poco es la posicion de algunas teclas, pero me estoy adaptando rapido. Algo que tambien note es que me equivoco mucho menos al escribir. Muy recomendado. La bateria dura semanas, considerando que elegi el RGB solo prenda cuando estoy tecleando. Muy contento con mi teclado y eso que ni siquiera me he metido a utilizar las funciones de la aplicacion. Saludos.
