Very nice, but taken back 3 times under warranty for sound adjustment knob, and it doesn't work ...
For my personal Christmas I took this magnificent keyboard, responsive, commands to manage your music without opening an app, the little wrist rest which is super soft, clearly only positive and a recommendation for those who want a keyboard that works like a charm and who are looking for responsiveness.
As usual LDLC 10/10 for responsiveness (2 products in my basket, one out of stock so withdrawn)
for the keyboard:
the RGB 8/10 (not as grippy as a Corsair)
the handle rest 9/10 (I doubt its longevity)
the keys 7/10 (fan of switch red in general the caps do not pay homage to him. feeling of the keys a little too smooth)
general functionality 8/10 (the volume hovers once out of 5 times when you increase the volume, it drops 1 notch .... odd but not prohibitive .... although given its price...)
"the led screen .... useless but pretty (MDR) 7/10 (another option for the screen would have been nice ....)
The keyboard looked promising on paper, but it's noisy and, above all, very uncomfortable because the keys are too high.
Nothing to say for the keyboard, which lacks a bit of sound flexibility.
On the other hand, intentional cut on the cardboard box noticed when unpacking. Not cool. I have noticed that when I buy a quality product the boxes are often damaged.
