The competition between keyboard manufacturers is fierce, each one adding a new feature that many might not use, but you can brag about it. Then others copy other manufacturers designs and call it their own, and then some that come out with basic boring keyboards.

Let’s check out the unboxing
Aside from the keyboard itself, the box only comes with a User Guide.
The User Guide is actually a foldout pamphlet.
One side goes over the features, keyboard shortcuts and functions.
Short chapter, since there was nothing else in the box aside from the keyboard, so let’s get into the Keyboard itself.

I have spent many years in the PC boutique name space as Product Development Engineer for Alienware and later Dell through Alienware’s acquisition and finally Velocity Micro. During these years I spent my time developing new configurations, products and technologies with companies such as AMD, Asus, Intel, Microsoft, NVIDIA and more. The Arts, Gaming, New & Old technologies drive my interests and passion. Now as my day job, I am an IT Manager but doing reviews on my time and my dime.
