Product Showcase

At its base, the keyboard is supported by standard two-level adjustable feet, complemented by a distinctive Corsair triangular pattern design. The package includes useful accessories like a keycap and switch puller tool, a USB dongle for wireless connectivity, and a USB cable for charging and data transfer. However, the absence of a wrist rest might be seen as a negative by some users who prioritize comfort during extended use.

RGB lighting and battery life then. With the RGB lighting activated, the battery's endurance plummets from an impressive 250 hours to a mere 25-30 hours, which could be inconvenient for users who favour the aesthetic appeal of RGB but don't want to be tethered by a charging cable frequently. Then again, on the road, you get an option.

The use of plastic in the keyboard's construction and the densely designed keycap legends might not appeal to users seeking a minimalist or premium look.

The keyboard features Corsair’s MLX Red linear mechanical switches, which are tailored for a seamless gaming experience, providing smooth and consistent keystrokes. While these switches may not cater to those who prefer tactile feedback, the general typing experience remains pleasant due to the designed resistance of the keys.

The keyboard's wireless functionality and polling rate are adequate for most users, but the absence of higher polling options like 4K or 8K could be seen as a drawback for enthusiasts who demand ultra-responsive performance. The potential for a future wired version with enhanced features such as a higher polling rate and the inclusion of a wrist rest could address these shortcomings and appeal to a broader audience.
