> 3 daySo I have been using this keyboard for a while now and honestly the keyboard overall has been great! No problems in the first half year of use, and overall build quality is amazing. Listing some pros below: -great switch options (personally went for gateron silent browns) -heavy base which is great for gaming so it doesnt move around -small 60% style (also a con for some) -overall great feel I only have one con over constant use over the year is that the base of the keyboard actually warped, maybe from how tight the screws were tightened, which isnt too big of a problem but noticeable at times. Overall good rating though.

> 3 dayI love everything about the keyboard, but Hera Compiler. I cannot get my profiles downloaded onto the keyboard. When I click download, and then download again on the popup box...nothing happens. Does anybody else have this issue?

Greater than one weekThis keyboard is one of the best sounding and has the smoothest typing experience Ive ever had in a stock pre-built. It has pre-lubed stabs straight out the factory and even has a layer of foam for dampening underneath the PCB to help with pinging sounds. However, the number one thing that killed it for me the most is the freezing issue. Just two days in within using it, the board already began to freeze up while playing games or browsing the web. It would either be completely unresponsive or act as if Im still holding down the last key I pressed, continually. The only way to resolve the issue was to unplug and plug the cable. Ive tried numerous USB Type-C cables on it but to no avail. I tried contacting support and they were nice enough to send me their upgraded cable but I highly doubt that would solve the issue as I personally believe it has to do with the board itself. If it wasnt for this glaring issue, this would be an easy 5 star. Its a shame.

> 3 dayThe Gateron silent brown version of the keyboard is probably the most quiet non custom keyboard you can buy on the market and imo having a quiet keyboard is super important. Most keyboard manufacturers seem to think that people invest in premium audio equipment and headphones so you can drown it all out in keyboard clicking. You can get even more quiet with zilents, lubing each switch instead of just the stabilizers, and making a ton of other mods but you would have to do that yourself and that would probably increase the price towards the $300 range so for slightly over $100 these are a steal. My only gripes with this keyboard is that the software isnt intuitive and you have to use a ton of modifiers to use some of the keys since its a 60% keyboard so keep track of how often you use the keys it doesnt have before you buy (unfortunately their other keyboards either dont have gateron silent browns or dont have double shot keycaps) but otherwise this is a great keyboard.

> 3 dayThis keyboard is pretty great when its working. I got the kailh box white variant and they are quite delightful. However, my product has frozen up twice for me and has forced my hand to return it. I suggest potential buyers to either get a ducky or wait for the new galaxy lineup of boards

> 3 daythis is an excellent keyboard... even better than the hades if you dont need actual arrow keys. but if you did you can simply bind the the keys on the bottom right of the keyboard to up down left right. Its not that you would need aftermarket keycaps since it comes with double shot PBT shine through but all the keys are in the normal size so aftermarket keycaps would be easy to use. In conclusion this keyboard is factory pre lubed, comes with double shot pbt keycaps, backlit, great choice of switches and extremely easy to use software. check check check check and check. What are you waiting for? Get this keyboard right now and you wont regret it. edit: after using the keyboard for a few weeks it started developing issues .. it will randomly stop being recognized by the pc and i have to unplug and replug it and it will work again.

Greater than one weekThis keyboard will freeze randomly on one key. I love this keyboard but now I have to return it. I thought I might be lucky and bought this keyboard knowing people had issues with random freezing hoping it wouldnt happen to me. I was not lucky and the freezing issues are real and you should avoid this product until it is fixed. It started freezing after about two weeks.

> 3 dayPros: Stylish, feels like quality materials, cool RGB effects Cons: Freezes mid sentence, you have to cycle power to the keyboard to recover at which point you have to reprogram the RGB or select it from their horrible KB app. The app doesnt resize for resolution so in my case, my 1520x1440 display caused the screen to clip the upper and lower portions so I could not use the app without changing resolution first, then was required to use the task manager to kill the app. Its terribly annoying especially coupled with the constant resets. Without those two issues it would be rated much higher but the freezes and software are nonstarters. I have requested a refund/return and I bought the Red Dragon instead.

> 3 dayI love this keyboard. Its switches (gat brown) are smooth and quiet, and the form factor is great if youve never used a compact layout before. I occasionally find myself missing the arrow and delete keys, but I dont often wish I had them on this board. Its easy to customize, but does lack some lighting customization that you can find from the likes of Razer or Corsair. I would still take this in a heartbeat over any of their products, though. Cant beat the $99 price point either!
