Hope this helps a scroll. Oh and only the lighting function buttons wont work until the driver/software is downloaded. The keyboard will probably be in Bluetooth mode so be sure you read the manual to switch into USB mode so you can start typing.
I rated this keyboard at 3 stars due 2 things: price and lack of a manual / features. It's a pretty good keyboard, if you like the design and wood case. The hotswap functions just like you'd expect and the board feels quite solid and nice to type on.
The lack of any manual and the hard to find software is a major knock against this board. I hope this is remedied in the future. Unlocking the features w/o the software was just about impossible.
I also feel like the price is a little high. If the Bluetooth worked better, I could justify the $230, but as it stands, this is basically a wired keyboard for me.
My expectation for this board is different. I bought this keyboard based on three criteria. It delivered on all criteria, however, there are a few cons I need to mention.
First, the three criteria.
Form Factor
Plate mounted removable switches
RGB, USB-C and Wooden Frame
Form Factor
I bought this board for its unique 87 keys form factor and wooden frame. I like 60% to 75% form factor because I have no use for number pad and I am a PC gamer, so having short distance between mouse and AWSD keys is quite important for me. However, I need the function keys in addition to arrow keys and 'Page UP' and 'Down' to work from home. I managed a few databases for work and these keys are critical for me. So, this form factor is direct fits for me and this may even be my last keyboard.
Plate Mounted Removable Switches
I have a few switches lying around and I am looking forward to experiment with different switches. I cannot solder and I don't want to learn that skill, too.
RGB , USB-C and Wooden Frame
I don't use the RGB at all now because of the keycaps I am using. I have been purchasing beautiful keycap, and lighting cannot pass through them. However, I rather have RGB and turn them off than not having the option. USB-C is the future. It allows me to consolidate all my cables. Wooden frame is a bonus. It will allow me to experiment.
Now, on to cons. Manual is non existent. It took me a while to find and download the software to remap some of the keys and to turn off the RGB. I still haven't found a way to map the key using on-board memory like Poker keyboards. Bluetooth 3.0 is disappointment. But I knew that before I placed the order and I don't plan to use the Bluetooth. However, keycaps that came with it are trash in my option. I cannot reuse them because I dislike them, so I might as well as throw them away. Nevertheless, I think CherryMX blue I ordered them came pre-lubed because they sound as such and feel a tad better than CherryMX blue that came with my Kono Kira keyboard. I already switched them out with Gateron Brown but they feel better than all CherryMX Blue keyboard that I have. So that is a huge plus for me.
