" ... LEDs stopped working and the right arrow and spacebar have become too slow. ... Only been a couple of months ... "
" ... Thought it wouldn't happen so fast after I buy it but it has after maybe 3 months. ... "
" ... First, I want to say that I am leaving this written as is(spacebar is one of the keys that stopped working consistentlyafter a year, so forgive the lack of spaces as I am trying to show the issue).I gotthis keyboard to use predominantly for gaming,and it didwork for a time. ... However, I noticed that at about the year mark it started toshow some 'inconsistencies'. ... I really wish I could have gotten AT LEAST 2 years worth ofgaming/work out of this, but it'sbecome unbearable for work and any game that requires semi-regular use of the space bar. ... "
" ... After ten minutes, it stopped working. ... "
" ... I loved it at first, but it stopped working just a few months after purchase. ... "
" ... Lasted 3 months before the Q and F key stopped responding. ... "

" ... - these are hotswappable outemu switches, meaning u can’t put cherry switches/other brand switches in. ... "
" ... My version comes with the outemu red switches because I prefer linear switches ... "
" ... There are a good amount of RGB modes. ... "

" ... It feels a little sturdy and blocky which is great cause it doesn't wiggle or move too much when you have it on a flat surface, and personally I really enjoy how tidy the shape is compared to different models (not redragon specifically) that are rounder and have a lot of excess space taken up by that. ...
