This makes it project a good bit from your computer, making for a prime cable-snagger. The USB-C 2.4Ghz transmitter is quite chonky as far as transmitters go these days (again, see ROG Azoth). It's hard to not compare this board to others at this price point that sound way better (see: ROG Azoth). The spacebar is a huge offender, with no stabilizers it is jarringly louder than every other key, but is one pressed quite often so it makes you sound like a really bad drummer. Despite how nice the switches are, they don't feel as good as gasket-mounted/dampened switches. Blues are too strong, reds very weak, and have heard of folks having issues with LEDs dying, with no easy repairability. This is kind of a big QoL issue for me that could be easily resolved with OLED firmware. Overall the OLED screen would have been better used for lock or battery indicator lights. This is really hard to see quickly, and there is no option to use the superfluous OLED screen for this. The only Caps lock indicator is the LED color of the key becomes white (which tbh is kinda blue, see below) when active. Leads to missed keystrokes often, especially if you set a low sleep timeout to conserve battery. The keyboard doesn't wake up very fast, and it doesn't register the keypress you used to wake it up. Other boards lose barely 15% with this amount of usage. Typically lost over 50% charge with moderate LED lighting in 5-6 hours of use with an aggressive sleep timer set. The second unit charged, but the battery indicator would be all over the place based on what was going on, ranging from 30% to 80% within a 4 minute span! Which is accurate? Who knows. My first piece would refuse to charge (as far as I could tell) until it was nearly drained.

There are some updates available, but even with it, the battery indicator is botched. Firmware issues, firmware issues all around. Very light and quite compact even among TKLs, makes for a good portable board in a TKL case. Unlike other small wireless boards (ahem Logitech G915 TKL.), this has no rattle PBT keycaps are nice, and switch cross-stems are compatible with a lot of after-market keycaps. These switches also have excellent bounce and no ping. Omnipoint switches work as advertised - if you like super fast response time, you can't beat these. If you are like me and looking at this board, you may be getting frustrated at how hard it is to find that nearly perfect board that should exist, when you're willing to drop over $230.
