What reviewers say
Reviewers found the magnetic switches responsive and easy to tune, the build solid and the wireless connections reliable, and judged it good value. Both note its size and weight make it poor for travel; GameRevolution found the web software limited, and The Gadgeteer noted that battery life suffers at full lighting brightness and that only Gateron's magnetic switches fit.
