Pros & Cons

Pros

  • ✓ Side-printed legends let south-facing LEDs shine through without washing out the top surface
  • ✓ 128-key set covers 60%/65%/75%/80%/96%/100% US layouts, including a 6.25u spacebar
  • ✓ Dye-sublimated PBT resists fading through years of typing, unlike pad-printed ABS
  • ✓ Oil-resistant coating on the PBT keeps fingerprints and sweat shine off the caps
  • ✓ Cherry profile's sculpted rows add finger contact area for long gaming or work sessions

Cons

  • ✗ Side printing means legends are invisible from a normal overhead viewing angle
  • ✗ Manufacturer notes LEDs work best facing south; north-facing switches light poorly
  • ✗ Keycaps only, keyboard not included
  • ✗ Cherry MX stem compatibility only, so no Topre, Alps, or low-profile boards
