Is it for you
Buy it if
- Macro keys and a command dial are things you will actually use
- You want lighting that goes further than any rival here
- Gaming is the primary job, typing the secondary one
Skip it if
- Synapse running permanently is a dealbreaker
- You want a keyboard that disappears into a professional desk
Nothing here is missing. There is a command dial, a dedicated macro column, a magnetic wrist rest, and lighting that spills under the board. As a piece of hardware it is well made and heavy in the right way.
The cost is not only money. Everything interesting is gated behind Synapse, and the design is loud enough that it dominates whatever desk it lands on.
