Pros

• Looks great.
• Impressive build quality.
• Good weight stops any slippage.
• Aluminium top plate.
• PBT keycaps.

Cons

• Very expensive.
• Thick and stiff cable.
• Not all games work with the analog tech.
• Overly complicated to set up.

KitGuru says: For us, this keyboard over-complicates things and as a result is very time consuming to setup, but for those dead-set on entering the realm of analog keyboards then it's one to consider.
