What we can tell you
Hall-effect magnetic switches with actuation adjustable across almost the whole key travel, plus a small display built into the board. This is a highly specialised keyboard whose headline features matter least for ordinary typing. SteelSeries sells a wireless version of it separately at a different price, so check the connection before ordering.
What the specifications favour
- Actuation adjustable across nearly the full key travel
- PBT keycaps and an on-board display
- Rapid trigger for repeated keypresses
What to check before you buy
- The adjustable actuation is a gaming feature rather than a typing one
- Wired only, and expensive for a keyboard
- A separate wireless version exists at a different price, so check which one a listing is offering
