The battery lasts all day for me, I charge it every night since I have the lights go 100% brightness without turning off. I will say the usb dongle single is not great. So make sure you use the charging cable to bring the usb dongle closer to the keyboard. I was getting noticeable latency when having it further than 2 feet away. Also with the usb dongle being less than 6 inches away from the keyboard, playing a game like league of legends that require very accurate key presses in a very short amount of time, the wireless feature is not recommended. Whenever I play league I connect the keyboard to the cable so I can get zero latency. If not entire key presses will not register.
I have used many $400+ custom keyboards, some of which I hand build myself and lubed, all using various linear switches (the Zeal Tealios being the top of the line). ASUS's NX red switches come factory lubed (not the same as hand lubing) but are insanely smooth and consistent. I think these are easily my second favorite switches that I've ever used on any keyboard, custom or prebuilt.
Compared to your average Cherry red keyboard, this keyboard is far smoother, less scratchy, and surprisingly, it sounds much less high pitched and plasticky. I love the way this keyboard sounds.
The RGB is very nice, and the layout is also great. The only significant problem that I would point out is that the layout is non-standard, which ends up meaning that you cannot use most custom keycap sets with this keyboard, unless they are one of the extremely fancy few keycap sets that come with options to buy specific space bar lengths.
The software is typical of any gaming keyboard. You have to use ROG Armory crate, which I don't mind because I use all-ROG parts in my custom computer, since they are the highest end most of the time.
If you want a keyboard with smooth linear switches, good RGB, great macro customization, a 65% layout, the option for wireless connection, and a ROG aesthetic, then this is perfect.
Edit: My initial model came with a scratch on it, but I simply returned it. There will always be defects in some products.
1. Very nice keyboard: materials, size, battery (in full Light it takes maybe 10-20 hours on WiFi before it reaches 20%), Light Modes, keyboard cover when not in use.
Cons:
1. Armoury Crate software only available on Windows; some features, like some specific Light Modes, are also only available on Windows;
2. Keyboard modifiers:
- Fn + Left Alt: triggers Macro registration mode, so if you have to trigger a macro that needs both Fn and Alt modifiers - like Alt + F1 - you need to use the Right Alt in order not to enter the Macro registration mode;
- Fn + Right Ctrl: trigger contextual menu, so if you have to trigger a macro that needs both Fn and Ctrl modifiers - like Ctrl + W - you need to use the Left Ctrl in order not to pop up the contextual menu;
- to summarise: if you want to trigger Ctrl + Alt + F1, when the Fn-Lk is off, you need to use Left Ctrl + Right Alt + Fn + 1;
- this is a smart way to add extra functionality on to the modifiers when used together with Fn, but it gets sometimes difficult to trigger a combination; the alternative is to define Macros for the most used combinations;
3. The slider can be accidentally touched sometimes (e.g. keyboard not on a horizontal surface), but you can disable the slider with Fn + Tab.
1. Size: this keyboard 65% layout keyboard are very different than others custom-made one there because I feel like it is smaller.
2. Connection: not a whole lot of custom-made keyboards are wireless but this one is. It also can be use wired with USB-C connection and a storage for your usb dongle when you need to take the keyboard with you for traveling.
3. Macro: one of the reason I like 65% keyboard because they do include arrow keys so it worked out great for me who can use this keyboard for goin up and down on my coding homeworks. But one advantage this keyboard also have over the others is the side volume-up and volume-down slider. It is awesome, it does take time to get use to that and it does not seem very sensitive but it better than I have to hit function + other keys for volume.
4. Built: custom-made keyboard can be made with multiple different materials: like wood, plastic, aluminum, etc. But this keyboard is already made with seem to be high quality aluminum case and also include a plastic wrap in case you need to take the keyboard somewhere.
Overall this keyboard fits everything that I need and I love it.
