The Code V3 looks and feels fantastic. I have arthritis in both hands, but this has just enough resistance to feel solid without causing discomfort. I can easily type almost 100 wpm without fatigue. It's smooth as butter.
The ability to switch from a Mac OS layout to Windows is a nice touch. The switches are easy to use and I switch regularly between computers and OS. The LED lighting is a nice touch and just the right amount of brightness. the lighting is even across the keyboard with no dim spots.
This is easily my go-to keyboard from now on.
....But, this is where they lose me. I had everything setup, o-rings put on and time invested. Mac mode turned on (SW1) and Fn key turned on (SW6) ... The backtick / tilde key DOES NOT WORK! It nicely prints '§' without shift and '±' with shift. For a Javascript developer who desperately needs the backtick and tilde to WORK, it doesn't. Customer support told me this:
"OK, this is a known issue right now with mac mode. The only fix is to disable mac mode and change your command and alt keys through your system keyboard settings. We are working on a firmware solution to this, but don’t have one yet."
WHAT? A keyboard that doesn't work? How does that happen... And, why was it released if a key doesn't work in one of the most popular modes around? Hmm... Very disappointed.
My keyboard before was a Razer, with Razer's "Green" Switches (MX Blues essentially), and it was a little too loud. This is much better, with the added bonus of not being as loud as the Razer was.
I have three small issues, that don't effect the star rating.
- The back of the keyboard has 5 way routing for the cable, with little pieces of plastic alternating to keep the cord in place. The cable that comes with the keyboard is a little too thick for the routing, and as I've carrying the keyboard to and from work and unplugging the cable, those little plastic pieces are basically tearing this cable to shreds. I recommend these cables (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DC54RV7/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00__o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1_)
As they are just thick enough to be held in place by the plastic tabs, but still are very easy to route and unplug from the keyboard.
- The LED lighting is fantastic, and there are 6 settings of brightness. My one wish is the lowest brightness was actually more DIM. It sort of starts at bright, and just moves brighter and brighter. There's no DIM lighting.
- Last small thing, and this is personal and not a con of the product, but more of a warning. The MX Clears have 65g of actuation, and I didn't think they'd be that much different from the 50g needed for my Razer, but I actually can feel my hands getting a little fatigued after typing for a while. I may order and try the MX Brown version, and see which I like better.
I will edit this post in the future if anything new comes to mind, or my opinion changes for this keyboard.

Ich nutze das Code Keyboard bereits seit der V2, daher immer wieder empfehlenswert.
Little too loud for an office environment when proper up on its legs, not too bad when flat. Very minor complaint.
All round a solid keyboard.
