Thanks For the review man! I have looked at dozens of videos and none of them mentioned about the keyboard's functionality on Mac. But you did and that helped a lot in making my decision. Great review man! keep up the good work

[@MainCave]

Cheers pal. Glad it helped. 👍🏻

[@halebopp17]

@@MainCave Thanks for the review. On Mac, one thing I still do not understand: Are profiles/mappings you setup on the Ultimate software on windows are saved to the device? and then available to use on the Mac also? Or on the mac you can only map the A/B buttons and the super buttons?

Would be cool if this also worked with an Xbox

[@hpwan2]

strange enough.... if I press down any of the panic button in Bluetooth mode, it puts my pc to sleep mode... it only works when in USB mode.

The backlight definitely depends on the person, but yeah it does look amazing and would be perfect for working in the dark.
Meanwhile, I'd love to use them but get immediately slammed with occular migraines when theres multicolored lights; to make things worse, living in China it is legitimately impossible to get a proper mechanical keyboard and tower case without the room becoming a rave, requiring seperate fees to mod everything to not use RGB backlights.
Heading back to the states finally, saw this video, noted that its 20% off in China with tax...did not hesitate to buy it.

What is that lovely monitor to your right at the 6:26 mark? Nice review btw!

[@MainCave]

The small one? That’s an 8” echo
