@@xirion3567 certainly! It is perfectly fine for gaming. I haven’t found a single game that was problematic because it required a numpad. And I don’t play twitch fps shooters or competitive rts so I don’t care about key travel or response delays that I cannot measure anyway, so I can’t comment about that aspect

Oh I like the aesthetic of this! The volume knob needs to be aluminum imho. Definitely needs a UK layout unless we could get in and reassign the keys ourselves. Worth them bringing out a more premium model in the future. Nice amount of detail and critique, Mat, I too hope Montech listen. Not had hands on with any of their gear yet, but I'm hella impressed with what I've seen. Job Jobbed - from both of youse. 👌👍 Tah to the family too!

Yawn lack of dedicated macro key rows again to the left of the tab caplock area, extremly overpriced for a 30$ keyboard, cherry mx switches don't cost a ton there dirt cheap now, especially their clones. Not impressive in the least. This is a stock keyboard that has a green color scheme that is super overpriced for what it is. Would love to see some actual evolution in this area again instead of repeats of repeats.
