Top Criticism
+1 pts
Spent the last 7 years with a keyboard I hated (iKBC MF87 V.2)... On a white backlight you could actually see the blue and green separately, plus some of the LED's died. Also felt cheap to type on and I hated the MX Red's... Don't know why I didn't just return it I'm at the "endgame" stage right now. Just bought a Crush 80 a couple of weeks ago and I love it so much wanna take it behind a middle school and get it pregnant
