Review after one week usage.

Got the brown switch variant in diwali sale.....over all keyboard is good and quality is superb in this price segment.....tactile feedback is great and the RGB is also good not the one that gives irritation to the eyes.....software support is a plus and i'm with this product from kreo........Only if it has wireless version than it would've been a complete package 📦......but it has detachable type C to A cable and that too is around 1.5 m i guess so it's acceptable.......good that kreo thought it through and gave type-C port in keyboard.... definitely a plus point.

Overall you can go for it if you like to play games and want a compact and a good keyboard with 1000Hz polling rate too....... Definitely a steal deal i got for 2700 in the sale.
