Is this Mac compatible?

A shopper on Dec 1, 2020

BEST ANSWER: Yes. I’m using it with a MacBook and haven’t had any issues. The windows key becomes an Apple key.

The rgb may not be why you’re expecting. It’s not software controlled by the computer. It has a few built in modes it can cycle through but that’s it. The keys feel great though and that’s what I wanted.

What software is used to customize keyboard colors?

BEST ANSWER: There is no software required to customize the keyboard colors. There are preset lighting effects that can be adjusted with "FN" + "F12" key combinations.

What do the indicator lights above the INS-Home-PgUp keys mean? The A is the Caps Lock indicator. What does the G, 1 or the download icon mean and when are they illuminated?

Jerry L on Dec 20, 2020

BEST ANSWER: "G" is "gaming mode" accessed by pressing Fn F8 It disables the Windows key so you don't accidentally switch out of your game. "1" is num lock, on this keyboard it's toggled by the "Num" key on the 10 key pad. And the download arrow is scroll lock, "ScrLK" key above the 10 key pad.

Is the PCB in the keyboard custom and i9f not what board is it?

A shopper on Aug 23, 2020

Are ALL of keys optical or just a few that are usually used in gaming like W,A,S,D?

A shopper on Dec 19, 2020

The product page states "Full dynamic RGB Customization". Where is the software to control the rgb? Other than just fn + f12, how do you dynamically customize rgb settings?

Satisfied!

Keyboard is very sleek and slim. The color variations are neat. I prefer the wave, never seen it before. Keys are responsive and relatively quiet, which was what I was looking for. It was a nice time to upgrade when working from home.

Great keyboard

I have had other brands that played well but were hard on the day to day use. This has a great feel and supports daily use well.

Colors are bright event in full daylight is easy to read for the hunt and peck.

Great camp for the extra large mousepad.

Great keyboard

Amazing keyboard, best I have ever owned. Quiet, but with enough feedback for error free touch typing.

No custom software

The keyboard types nicely, but monoprice doesn't offer any software to go with it—so no options to create macros or even to customize lighting outside of presets. If you're looking for either of those things, consider buying elsewhere.
