3.0 out of 5 stars Hall effect keyboard not capable of analog input
Don't get me wrong, it's a nice keyboard. It's a little on the loud side, but not a "clicky" loud, more of a "thocky" loud. The major downside of this board is Steelseries' software.The customization options are stellar, to be sure. You can do pretty things with the lights. However, I can't for the life of me get those lighting configs to actually work on the hardware profiles, meaning they take minutes after boot for Steelseries' software to launch and reapply the profile. When I edit hardware configs, even if they're identical to the software ones, there's some kind of fight going on between the board and its software that makes them swap between profiles constantly, making the actual keyboard unusable.Additionally, the OLED panel on the top corner is a certain gimmick - I was hoping its Tidal integration would at least stand out for me, but the window will refuse to update unless I have Tidal maximized in active view, entirely defeating the purpose of a secondary display for it. I haven't tried other apps, here, but the only one I cared about didn't work.Lastly, I bought this keyboard as it was mentioned in an article (I've since forgotten where) showcasing Hall effect linear keyboards and their ability to use analog input in some games. This board is certainly capable of it, there's just no way to do it because it's limited, once again, by Steelseries' software. You can even use dynamic actuation per-key, just can't map them to an analog axis.This board is priced to be the best of the best outside of custom-built enthusiast keyboards, and yet I still can't encounter a feature of the keyboard that actually works out of the box. The actual keyboard is great, and it's a shame that it's so kneecapped by software that just doesn't work.
