Very good
This keyboard is just as I imagined it: pretty, high-quality and very pleasant to use, both to the touch and to the ear.

Very close to perfection
I've tested countless keyboards: membrane, hybrid, mechanical, ultra-slim, etc. This keyboard has the recognisable mechanical feel and switches that don't make it too noisy, a far cry from the 90's keyboards that I've known despite everything.The position is more than comfortable with the wrist rest (a bit short, be careful if you have big hands) and the keyboard is raised. The OLED screen and the RGB push the customization quite far. The screen is clearly a gadget, I still haven't found any use for it in gaming, however it is very useful for discord notifications or tracking PC activity.The Steelseries software is very well done, whether it's for customising the screen, macros or lighting.The only drawbacks, in my opinion, are the poorly placed macro keys and the coating of the wrist rest which catches dust in an extreme way.The price is a bit high, but if it lasts over time it will clearly be a very good investment.
