get any fancy extras like multi-coloured lighting
Swapping back can be surprisingly tiring at first
The intensity is hindered by the lights
the legends do not wear off the keys
The feature set is somewhat limited
lack of software is of no loss to us
There are no profiles to save keymaps for specific games or applications
a click and drag option to select multiple keys
Cherry MX Silent switches unpleasant to use
only the Silent Red version seems to be available
The metal here is thin and not very heavy
