It’s durable aluminum frame is lovely to behold and its RGB lighting is dazzlingly well employed.
Read on for my full Cherry MX 3.1 review.
I tested the white keycap model, which pairs exceptionally well with the RGB lighting style.
The added weight helps it feel rooted to the desk, and makes the board feel more durable too.
Lighting
One keyboards greatest attributes are its looks.
Even in my bright office, the lighting is bold yet diffuses brilliantly.
The result is that each keycap looks as if it is floating on a sea of color.
I also love the additional lighting zones on the sides of the keyboard.
They feel similar to Gateron K Pro Red switches in terms of travel and resistance.
Again, the MX2As linear travel lends well to competitive twitch shooters, like Counter Strike 2.
I was able to pop in very quickly, with a high level of accuracy.
Certain design choices are frustrating to use, and its disappointing not to see PBT keycaps at this price.
The level of customization afforded by the companion software feels limiting, too, especially for a gaming board.
I would have liked to see a wider range of options for gaming.
However, the lack of gaming features and customization struggle to justify the price tag.
