It's not a top pick - there are higher-rated and better-value options in the category - but specific shoppers may still find it fits their needs.
Build & Switch Feel
The keyboard's exact switch type isn't specified in the product listing, which is unusual at this price point. If switch feel matters to you, it's worth checking the manufacturer's site before ordering. In this price tier, you should expect aluminum top plates, doubleshot or PBT keycaps, and per-key RGB. If those aren't here, the price is hard to justify.

7.1/10
