Sorry to be picky, but to my mind, shouldn't this be sold as a USB-A rather than a a USB-C keyboard because it plugs into a USB-A slot?
If I have a USB-C port on my computer, this keyboard will not work with it (unless it also comes with a USB-C to USB-C cable, which would be fantastic!)

BEST ANSWER: You can always swap out the cable for a USB-C to USB-C connection. Problem solved. The included cable is detachable, leaving a USB-C input.

Without the companion and macro software does the keyboard still light up?
A shopper
on Oct 28, 2021
BEST ANSWER: I have full control over the lighting features and the (unmarked) hot keys / launcher shortcuts in Linux without the companion software. I don't have access to any macro functionality specific to this keyboard, but there are general ways to deal with that in Linux without needing any specific model keyboard functionality.

BEST ANSWER: The lights are bright enough to be seen clearly in a well-lit room. You can have all keys the same color. There are also several built-in patterns and effects.

Only one complaint
This is a heavy, dense, small keyboard with super fast switches which take some serious getting used to, both for typing and gaming. I think it has honestly made me a better or at least neater typist if not necessarily a faster one.
It has one big drawback, all the function keys aren't printed on the F keys!!! You have to simply memorize all the functions. Volume up, volume down, mute - these are essential functions and it is idiotic not to print them on a keyboard. I swap mech kbs constantly and cannot be bothered to keep a paper printed legend out for every keyboard! It's absurdly stupid.

Great keyboard
Incredibly good value. Great typing experience, very silent and "thocky" instead of clacky.
The only thing holding this keyboard back is that it needs to be hot swappable.

Great keyboard, switches are responsive, RGB is bright, Even in a bright office environment. Plus it's small enough to take to the office in my bag every day
I took one start off since the keyboard software has been unavailable for 9 months now.
