One of the nicest keyboards.
TLDR:It's just awesome. Recommended.General:So this is my first SS keyboard that I've tested, so I will be mostly comparing to Corsair.First and most important, the switches are really good... this keyboard should be compared/competing to Wooting mostly. Omnipoint 3.0 actuation range and general 'feel' is awesome.And before continuing, I should also note — and it's a good 'weak point' you could say — NOT EVERY SWITCH is Omnipoint, and this is more noticeable in the full version: Numpad, Arrow Keys, and Nav Keys are NOT Omnipoint. I don't know if they're brown/red switches, also not sure if OEM or another brand. Being realistic, this doesn't make too much sense.Build Quality:I find the quality just excel. I really really like the 'feel' of the keycaps, it's like you're not touching plastic. It's like some kind of metallic/rough feel but really smooth.Software:Now the top of the cake — and also issues: the software.I read all days people running into issues with GG Engine, Sonar and etc (SteelSeries Brand-Software). You should know that on Windows 11 you are very likely to experience some issue. I have W10 LTSC and I've been running really smooth, 0 issues.So, you can modify everything:RGB Config using prism, Sync RGB between devices.You also have people-made apps for game-sync with the keyboard, providing info, example:Playing LOL, sets the screen to dragon/baron timers, updates if someone slays them, sets YUIOP color depending if your teammates and you are alive or not and much more..Actuation strength from 0.1 to 4mm per individual keyYou can select groupsActivate SOCD and Rapid TriggerIt also has Protection Mode that's really usefulYou can set Meta Keys and double-level actuation (you can set a key to do two actions depending on actuation range)OLED, RGB and Feel:The OLED Screen is... well, it's just a nice thing to have. You can put gifs and it's really beautiful. It can also show game info, media info, and you have a volume wheel too. You can set actuation range from here.The RGB is really nice — I find it better than my Corsair keyboards, but that's personal preference.Wireless, latency and typing:I don't have any latency using wireless, battery duration is decent — not the best, but it gets the job. I use the dongle extension so I can charge it quickly if I have to.One final note about switches is that, IDK if it's me, but with these switches I can really feel the pressure I'm doing on the key and be precise.Wrist Rest:The magnetic wrist is solid and might feel not premium, but that's totally wrong. It has a really really NICE rubberish material and feels really comfy. The magnet doesn't even move.Profiles:Ending, you also have Quickset profiles (preset profiles made by people):Changing keys, actuation points, activating protection/rapid tap/SOCD etc. for each game, and you can set yours and make different profiles.Final Thoughts:I don't want to keep talking but I could review more aspects.It's a really nice keyboard.

Best keyboard I've ever used
The keyboard has literally like no input delay when you optimize it for what you need to do. I play Fortnite, and this increased my edit and build speed by a lot. The lights look great and are the perfect brightness (which can be adjusted) but the lights look great. The keyboard is very sturdy and heavy making sure it wont slide around when gaming. Highly recommend using the wrist rest it comes with. It's very comfortable and the perfect height. The keys feel really nice and smooth and the sound is just honestly really satisfying. When typing, it feels like the keys are floating. I got the keyboard in white and it looks great with the silver backing. 10/10 keyboard. Highly recommend.

Best keyboard ever
best gaming keyboard I have ever owned. its super fast and rapid trigger helps a lot! it is pretty light weight and is not too bulky and is super comfortable while using/ typing. The price is kind of high but worth it and the battery life is pretty good. if you have a high budget, pick one of these up!

Amazing! Absolutely the best I've ever tried!
Amazing! after at least a couple of dozen hours of researching the most independent, unpaid reviews I could find and having tried at least six other keyboards, I finally found what I have been looking for for years.Specifically, I was looking for a keyboard that would reduce the number of typos from registering extra strokes from the keys surrounding the intended character. I often compare my fingers to sausages, because they are well thicker than average. After decades of having to use the backspace key at least once per sentence, I decided to research whether there were different size key caps made for people with bigger fingers. As far as I can tell, and I spent hours researching this as well, the only way to do that would be to build your own keyboard--a task I do not have the skills to feel comfortable tackling. Then I learned that there are keyboards that allow you to adjust the actuation distance of the key strokes. So I started researching those, and I bought and tried at least three or four different ones which did not work as advertise.Then, to my great joy, I found this one. when I read about the surrounding key protection feature along with the adjustability of key actuation, I decided to give it a shot. It works far beyond my expectationsNow, I only occasionally have typos from multiple key strokes registering at once. I've had it for several months now, and I absolutely love it! It is one of the best investments I have ever made as it has significantly increased my typing speed and productivity
