I just purchased this keyboard and I wanted to let anyone thinking of getting this keyboard to know a few things:
  • The switches are not hot-swappable, but the key caps can be replaced.
  • The key caps taper off towards your finger and create this sort of "well" where your finger rests inside the key cap. This significantly increases the distance between keys, and makes hitting the edge of a key uncomfortable on your fingers, since you'll mash the "wall" of the key cap.
  • The actual switches have a dead zone between when the key "clicks" and the key begins to repeat.
  • For example, if you press the "w" key down just past the tactile "click", it will press the key once but it will not repeat the keypress until you nearly bottom out the key.
  • This makes it a somewhat frustrating keyboard to use for gaming where WSAD need to be held down, i.e. FPS, camera movement, etc.
Ultimately, I'll be returning this keyboard, which is a shame because it is absolutely and unbelievably beautiful. I love the weight, and during regular typing it's a dream. However, I'm a huge gamer, and having to bottom out the keys just to walk forward is a show stopper. The smaller key surface area also messes up my timing and is very uncomfortable over all. If all you plan to do is type, this keyboard probably works for you. Otherwise, you may want to look elsewhere for now.
