The wrist rest is detachable. The keyboard weighs 1.54kg and 1.36kg without the palm rest. You don't have to use wrist the rest as you can clip it on or off, but admittedly it is quite comfortable to use it during gaming. The surface is made using somewhat dimpled rubber that helps ventilate and grip your wrist even when it is sweating. The rest itself is made out of plastic, for both gaming and productivity it feels good. It depends on personal preference whether or not you'll use this rest.

All keys have little RGB back-light LEDs, these are all configurable in color and animation. With the two buttons located at the top you can choose to en/disable them or alternatively dim the keys in three stages, the rest is done in software and then the final configuration is saved into the keyboard memory.

As you can see, now there's much ambient back-lighting on, based on your preferences you can light up the keys in three dimmed stages. The brightest mode as shown above can actually be too bright at twilight and night time, in my opinion. It's great to have that option really. It's good looking set of keys alright. As stated you could also opt to just enable the WASD, arrow or numeric keys.

Also I need to mention that the keys can be individually lit. You hit the program software, then select the keys you want lit, assign a color or animation, and done. It all works out well, especially since there are many profiles you can download, import and use.

Overall a great looking motherboard. Sturdy design, the wrist rest, the mechanical keys, the anodized black aluminum finish just makes this keyboard pop out.
