Can't say for certain whether it is steel or aluminum, but judging by the weight I'd assume steel. I love this keyboard. I started out with a KBP V60, and I have to say that in terms of build quality and versatility this thing is far superior.
After receiving this board from the last drop (my condolences to those who have yet to receive theirs :'( mine came early) I relegated the V60 to a dedicated gaming board that my kids have access to, thereby condemning it to an inevitable catastrophic demise.
I have programmed the thing extensively, used it for both gaming and coding, and regularly transport the keyboard for use on multiple machines and haven't experienced any of the glitches noted by some others.
The ability to program RGB by individual key is amazing and incredibly useful imho. I have one of the layers on the board heavily programmed with macros and the myriad color options help me to keep them all straight.
The visual impact of that RGB rainbow also serves as a helpful reminder that I'm on the macro layer so I don't start typing before switching back to another layer!
I just bought a non-RGB Pok3r with PBT caps and clear switches (also in the photos) from a co-worker who "upgraded" his clacker to a Leopold FC660 topre and I don't think the clears are anything worth giving up the RGB programmability for...
The PBT caps on the other hand, compelled me to join a drop for a set of backlit double shot PBTs that just closed a few days ago. Combined with the solid construction and tight build of this board, the PBTs provide the "cherry on top" of a fantastic keyboard that would be a bargain ast any price.
MTK4355Nice review, although you never mentioned anything about the switches you chose for this RGB version, of this keyboard?
Just curious in knowing what switches you went for and how are they when used with the work you do?
Elrick@Elrick Fair enough! Lol. Though, in defense of my rambling I didn't intend on writing that much "review" in the first place, it just kind of happened!
I got the MX browns with my RGB because they are perfect for my application; tactile without the click. I might have tried the blues this time around (I also have browns on the V60) but I probably wouldn't have lived very long in the open-area development team spaces I work in!
schmidtilyI split my week between two offices and frequently work remote, so the ability to keep a fully decked out workstation in multiple locations and be one plug away from 10x more productive is amazing.
