SurgicalThat's fun.
RGB is cancer. Bluetooth 4 has a sub 10ms latency, which does better than some wireless "gaming" peripherals using proprietary radio signals (which are really meant for interference bucking, and not much else).
There's a big build difference between this and say, your overpriced corsair board.

PigmonkeY Why is RGB cancer? RGB gives you the ability to choose from 16 million colors (on paper) vs. the one offered on this. I'm not really a fan of Corsair's pricing however you can get mechanical keyboards with RGB colors, USB passthroughs and multimedia controls from Corsair for roughly the same price or cheaper depending on options and don't have to wait months for a delivery. The only way this keyboard makes sense is if the color scheme and keycaps are just what you like, to me it looks a little too "nursury rhyme" styled but to each their own. It's also 170USD at full price which puts it up above about 90% of Corsair keyboard products. Corsair is known for their quality in the PC world, this keyboard comes from a Chinese company (Varmilo) with almost no reputation.

SurgicalCorsair’s peripherals are mostly known for their low quality to price ratio.

PigmonkeYI used an M65 mouse for years, it's still my laptop mouse and has no issues, why would you buy the third if two failed already and where are you reading this about low quality peripherals?

SurgicalNot only low quality, but nonstandard key spacing, and cancerous "gamer" aesthetic. Good luck finding a quality set of keycaps for. Not to mention, if you're actually gaming, 10keyless is advantageous because you can bring your hands closer together and center up.
I've always wondered what the purpose of RGB or even lighting is...you still need to look at your keyboard to type?
Furthermore, find me another wireless mechanical with build quality not in the 150-200 dollar range that can also boast a 1+ month battery life.

PigmonkeYThis wasn't really about Corsair anyway you brought it up with pricing, which Corsair really isn't worse for.
I use a Cooler Master - Masterkeys Pro S RGB (10 Keyless) and it's great, costs the same as this one does at Massdrop "sale" price, and it has RGB, I could buy any caps and have any color back-light I want.

$99 with mail in rebate. (130 before.)

Surgicalyou sort of missed the whole point of this board. there are very few wireless mechanical keyboards and most of the others use 3.0 or lower which has terrible latency. this is one of like 3 total that uses 4.0 tech. it is a totally different ball game. you are comparing apples to oranges. the people going for this are all about a clutter free wire free life style. yes some people do have problems with the board but when it works it works really well.

AntonyFaragPrecisely. It's way better than any wireless mechanicals I've tried and I've experimented with plenty. Also this is the only one where I can get such a solid board which is comparable to Filco and Gateron switches. I'm getting a few more of these for the office and homes. The Flicos and others will have to be used by employees.

Vedastay away from the gaterons. There have been so many problems with the gat boards that rumor is varmilo won't warranty them anymore.
