Review: Seems very durable and the lights have multiple modes - I bought this a while back (year-ish), for my son. He games daily and is rather hard on his keyboard and mouse. He's not had any issues out of this one, so far, and he loves it. I think some of the keys are wearing down, visually, but that's just because of his excessive use of it - and that's normal over time.
Review: reliable - Overall I've been using this keyboard since early 2019 and I haven't had any issues with it. The only problem I face is the hotkey/programmable feature, which I don't use, so therefore I forget the hotkey and accidentally press is once in like 6 months and end up having to problem solve to find the issue. Still great and that's mostly my fault anyways lol update 5/24/24: Still to this day no problems, I work on my computer all day and then also use it for recreation. Def very reliable

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing keyboard, it's well built.
*by A***N on April 18, 2019*

This keyboard has more weight than I thought, this is my first mechanical keyboard. It's different, the keys are very sensitive and loud, but it's a mechanical keyboard of course it's loud. It takes a while to get used to, I'm so used to using this keyboard, now my laptops keyboard feels like garbage compared to this, it's so stiff. The RGB lights are nice, it matches my computer, I use Asus aura sync most of the time it's blue, not RGB. Overall it's well built, it feels nice, it needs an update through ROG armory before use. Don't buy it you are using corsair lights in your PC, corsair uses didn't software (just an FYI for anyone who wants to have RGB lights that sync together). I used all Asus aura compatible products and I like it.
