    Big changes

    Inevitably, replacing a 6-year-old keyboard with this one is a real change.
    The texture of the keys and their sensitivity make it an excellent keyboard. I feel a real difference during my games and it suits me perfectly in the professional arena.
    As far as the RGB is concerned, the choice panel with the software is a pleasant gadget (the RGB is more for me to see the keys in the dark^^).
    I'd recommend this keyboard, the quality of the optimisation and materials is there, so it's a very good buy.

    The only downside I would say is the price, which for me is 15 to 20 € too expensive, but hey, we work to please ourselves, right?^^)
