Pros: sound dampening, value for money

Cons: value for money, wireless performance
Sound dampening was improved over some Corsair boards and praised by several reviewers, but others said it was insufficient for the price.
Pros: customization options, gaming performance
Cons: value for money, noise level
Sound dampening drew criticism when silicone layers or internal design failed to control ping, though one TKL review said silicone helped.
Pros: value for money, keycap quality
Cons: polling rate, acoustics
Sound dampening was weak or absent, with reviewers noting hollow space, no internal dampening, and case resonance.
Pros: switch feel, size and form factor
Cons: polling rate, value for money
Sound dampening scored poorly because one reviewer said there was no way to tame the switches or stabilizers.
Pros: battery life, switch feel
Cons: value for money, ease of switch replacement
