Highlights
Quality
To my surprise this keyboard is incredibly well build, even with a plastic outer shell it is extremely sturdy with almost no flex in it.
The keyboard has a solid feel and decent sound for an all plastic build.
The switches and whole structure is of a sound quality material, and the texture and tactile response is dead on.
There is advertised in the description that there are many layers of sound buffering.

The nob in the corner has a satisfying tactile click when you turn it but i believe its function can only go between the lighting of the keyboard and a volume nob this is slightly disappointing as it would be nice if it could be mapped to have a specific function

With the keyboard lacking its own software the lighting of it can be difficult to navigate
