Pros & Cons
Pros
Gateron brown switches are very nice with a tactile, soft sounding click. I prefer these switches to the cherry mx browns on my ducky one 2 mini. Have installed some foam and have lubed the keyswitches.
Cons
The keycaps and the leds have terrible quality. The leds has like a 2 colour effect but it is not intentional. As show in these pictures, i had received a keyboard with a 1 pin pcb whilst they are advertising a 5-pin hot swappable board.
Highlights
Quality
If you're going to buy this keyboard, i strongly recommend buying it with the 'gateron red' switch option.
Good build quality and nice switches a very good intro to mechanical keyboards.
Oh and the app my god the app is horrible super buggy and it will break your keyboard forcing you to reset it which is annoying.
Right out of the box it’s decent for the price of £50 (on sale) but it’s a hell lot better lubed filmed and modded with the right products.
Competitiveness
I would have loved to have seen a gateron silent red option and would have bought that version keyboard in a heartbeat.
I've never used gateron optical switches before.
I think this is to accommodate the battery blutooth version to which they obviously use the same case.
