No this isn't an ad. Fuck their keyboards and their shitty software and horrific customer support

My problem is less whether they work OOTB, more the fact that the switches tend to be poor quality and soldered to the motherboard. If one breaks, you have to break out the soldering iron. Finding exact replacements for some proprietary switches is also almost impossible short of getting a broken unit for parts. A pack of your preferred switches will always feel better to use and easier to replace. WS Morandis and Gateron Milky Yellows are my favorites and 104 of those clost less than 95% of premium keyboards from big brands.

Some even come with proprietary keycaps for some keys (looking at you Razer). That means if their shitty ABS caps fade or smooth out, you're stuck with them unless you buy replacements directly from them.

Anyways I'm just a keyboard nerd so your mileage may vary.
