    This keyboard is truly incredible and I am thrilled I took the chance on it despite reviews saying the paint of the keys chipped. If youre reading this youre already sold on the concept, mechanics, and look so I wont waste any time there. I have been typing at least 1000 words every day, in addition to doing video editing for a majority of the day where a dozen keys are pressed god knows how many times. I am happy to report that any issue of chipping paint was likely addressed and that even with sometimes slightly greasy fingers (an obscene sin I know...forgive me). There is zero sign of any paint wearing down. The only extremely miniscule downside is that the beautiful brushed aluminum plating can be scratched by hard objects like a ring.

    I really like this keyboard. It is light, colorful, and even calming with the way it fades into different colors. The keys are not too loud and the feeling when pressing each key is satisfying. I have had it for a couple weeks now and havent experienced any issues with the key labels peeling. I guess you just have to be careful with it, but even if it happened I dont really look down when I type so it wont be an issue. I must say it did take a bit of time getting used to the new layout since Im on a Mac and the keys are designed for Windows (e.g. instead of Command theres a Windows key and theyre in a different position). But once you re-learn where the keys are its a better keyboard than the one for Mac. Overall I am very satisfied with this purchase.

    Roccat swarm may stop working at any time for no reason. It stops working even when I go out to user select (Win+L). It has tons of macros buttons etc. but aby button for the lights control... I didnt find any manual in package. Without driver this keyboard lightining very bright on default scheme and I cant do nothing with it...

    So I am an applications engineer that writes code but also works with hardware. Ive gone into the Linux world and I simply cannot come back. As such, Ive even setup my system to primarily only work with keystrokes. Because of this, I constantly use the keyboard to move around switch windows open up applications code in vim etc. Pros: Build appearance. Took a page right out of apples book. The technology here is just gorgeous. Volume key: The cheap plastic could use some work here but I like that they added it. Transparant switch covers? This is awesome, I wish more manufacturers made it so you could see the switch. I love technology and these guys did not disappoint. Cons: Titan switch. Roccats own design. For gamers, this might be nice, the short travel and the rgb with the aluminum plate might be perfect. I cant stand the mushy feel of keys and I want a tactile or clicky feel when I press a key. I have found a lot of people especially gamers love that linear switch. I would say for gamers, this is definitely a win. Keycaps: Part of what makes the keyboard look so cool is the design of the keycaps being so small and thin. Sadly, this also makes it a bit difficult to type on. Granted, spend a week typing on this and you will be just fine. I guess Im just not a fan of floating style keycaps. Great for occasional use, but not for a professional who needs to type quickly. Rocatt Software called Swarm.... Sadly, this is where the quality takes a big hit. Im not a professional software engineer, but I do have some coding experience. While the front of the program is nice and looks shall we say spiffy. Its riddled with bugs. I had to constantly restart the program just to get downloads to work. I took a look on reditt and found multiple people indicating that their servers were down. Granted it was around 1am when I was trying to download the patch from the server, but there was no indicator that the server was down. If they were doing maintenance they should send a response indicating they would be back the following day or in a few hours. Instead the next day I attempted it in the afternoon and it kind of worked and then failed. After restarting it a few times it downloaded. After that I was able to program the keyboard which was a bit fun. I had fun with the ripple effects and adjusting the rgb values for the LEDs. One of the reviews on youtube advised of a frustrating feature of the profile not being saved to the keyboard and only working when the software was running. I believe they have resolved this problem as after I shutdown my virtual machine the keyboard still had the same profile. So it looks like it does store the light configuration in non-volatile memory. Good! Overall, the aesthetic of the keyboard is great. It just looks amazing and its what sold me on it in the first place. I found the titan switches to not have that tactile feel like I was used to. Instead it was more of a linear switch with a bump in the middle. This might be perfect for some people. For me, If Im spending 150 or more on a keyboard, it needs to feel just right when I type. I didnt get that experience. However the keyboard itself is an eye catcher. So it depends on what someone wants. If they are looking for an rgb keyboard with software that allows them to customize it to their hearts content and have a conversation piece for their buddys when they come over. Then yes, this should appeal to the gamer and average person. For the professional who uses a mechanical keyboard for typing and writing software, there are better keyboards. However for the professionals who seem to like the magic keyboard from Apple, with no travel distance. Then you might really enjoy this keyboard, as it will have a lot more travel distance but still give you a nice feel but allow you to type much longer because you will not be bottoming out every time you type so your fingers wont be sore. Plus the yellow light with the white keycaps and aluminum base makes a nice professional look and doesnt cause too much noise.

    The first thing i notice about this keyboard when I first saw is that it’s easy to clean. I like to keep my keyboard clean so that was a huge plus for me. The lighting is very easy to customize and it just looks beautiful aesthetically. I have nothing bad to say about this keyboard.

    This is a nice keyboard and I have NOT had issues with peeling paint on keys or elsewhere... and thats great. However, after three months of use it just stopped working yesterday. The keys no longer light-up and the device isnt recognized by Windows 10 anymore. I tried updating the firmware but no help. It appears to be a hardware fail. Will update with the response from Roccat - no matter how great (or not so great) a product is support is always a key factor in a purchase.

    So the board itself is pretty good despite there being a considerable amount of space between each key, which is a minor and subjective critcism, what isnt either minor nor subjective is the fact that the entire legend of the keyboard for each key, is some kind of sprayed on material coating. These are not quallity keycaps and as noted by MANY reviews, the spray on legend simply crumbles off, mine within less than two weeks. Frankly this is unacceptable at this type of price, and basically negates any positive this board has going for it, which is a shame because aside form this massive oversight, this is such a great looking and distictive board. Item is in the return process. Basically DO NOT BUY this board, admire from afar, its not a very qualitly-focused item, it seems to be designed enitrely around the show factor. Im super disappointed.
