This is a very nice keyboard. After switching from the razer chrome TE. I needed to have Rgb. The less take up the entire keys witch, meaning there is a less chance of burnout. The keyboard has its own configuration similar to Synapse. It has some effects that razer doesn't have. But the configuration can be hard to learn.
The switches are linear, no click sound, or bump, which is preferable for gaming, as the switch (Cherry Mx Red) has a low actuation point and nothing to make noise or interrupt the press. If you type alot I would suggest to get a Mx Blue keyboard as it has both a tactile bump and a click sound that assures you that you hit the key. While typing is possible and it's still nice. Quite better than any membrane, dome keyboard.
The keyboard is make out of nice material. It has an aluminum base plate. Has a wrist wrest, but it's kinda small.
Overall
Pros:
1.Nice build/materials
2.Amazing Key switches
3.Nice lighting
4.Nice effects
5.Nice responsiveness
6. Wrist rest
Cons:
1. Lighting configuration is hard to learn
2. While lights are nice they don't shine off the black base plate well.
3. Wrist rest is kinda small.
