Firstly, the build quality is stunning; when they said "hefty aluminum frame", they really weren't kidding. There's an amazing weight to this thing, and guaranteed it'll stay in place unless you're bashing this thing like you're crazy.
As someone who tends to reorganize a fair bit, I love the option for USB-C power on either top side of the KB. I had some concerns about the cable length, but it's a standard USB-C so replace at your leisure (I'll probably size up soon).
A lot of folks on this drop were definitely expecting a much darker top-plate. It does look a lot darker in the photos, but with the stock keys I think it actually looks great as more of a reflective space-gray. If you're a heavy RGB user, you'll likely appreciate the glow the plate holds from the switch LEDs as well.
For some cons, it sums up to the angle the keyboard rests at with the keys, and some sticky switches out of the box. I've usually had attached feet on my KBs, so I'm used to a slightly easier angle / higher incline, but the magnetic feet don't quite enforce the angle I'd like. It's just something to get used to. The sticky switches out of the box is a little annoying, but it's probably time to pick up some keyboard lube anyway, and it's only a few sporadic keys.
A separate note about the firmware: it's very easy to change lighting modes, but the upper and lower bounds for brightness and scroll speed are a little weird. There's a large upper bound buffer for brightness and then maybe 3 actual modes of lighting levels. I cannot tell in the slightest how many settings for scroll speed there are, but enough to make your keyboard lights move ridiculously (stressfully, even) fast.
Looking forward to hot-swappable switches and lighting configuration, for sure :)
