Pros & Cons

Pros

  • ✓ 36g Fuji Hall effect switches with 20 actuation levels from 0.1mm to 3.8mm
  • ✓ Rapid trigger with under 1ms latency for counter-strafing and fast repeat inputs
  • ✓ CNC aluminum frame adds weight so the board stays planted mid-game
  • ✓ Dual silicone dampening plus screw-in spacebar stabilizer cuts rattle and ping
  • ✓ Dual-shot PBT keycaps in Ronin Red resist shine better than ABS

Cons

  • ✗ 65% layout drops the function row and dedicated arrow cluster
  • ✗ Configuration runs through a webapp, so no offline desktop software
  • ✗ 16 RGB modes is modest next to per-key software ecosystems
  • ✗ 36g linear is light and may cause typos if you bottom out hard
