First impression was how heavy it is. This is the Aluminum model. It is well made, comes with extra keycaps, and the battery is fully charged. Visually this is appropriate for a home, work or gaming environment. I purchased it for my wife, and after getting it online and working, I realized I should have bought one for myself as well. The most difficult part of getting it going is reading the instructions as the font is really small. After reading them, I had it paired with BT in under 90 seconds, 1/3 of that spent finding the BT control in Win 11. There is also a 2.4GHz dongle if you want to use that instead. I was pleasantly surprised at the inclusion of a heavy-duty USB keyboard cable, I was expecting just a charging cable. The cable includes a heavy duty connector, rather than the plastic one often pictured. As this is our first venture into programmable keyboards the software needed isn't an issue. If VIA is a hard requirement for you, then you're going to be sad.
What I like is the construction. It's good. Sounds good, feels good to type on. The knobs are cool and swappable and programmable. It also has a few connectivity options which are cool. The included cable is pretty good too.
BUT the software for customizing isn't VIA and honestly is more than a little clunky to use. Software is mid and if you're a Linux user you might have to try to bottle it or use a compatibility layer to run it and program the device. But the knobs have their own functions out of the box as well.
I'd recommend it honestly but I do wish it was via compatible.
