So, I habe tried all different brands from Razer to Logitech, and all different key caps and switch types. I wasnt a fan of the really loud "clicky" switches but I enjoyed the resistance they provided. Then I tried the Razer Pro Type Ultra, and I loved it, but it was missing that tactile feel (now it lives in my office because it is a quality keyboard) and I wanted something for gaming and working from home. I decided to try this keyboard out after obsessively watching review videos. They all used buzz words like "thocky" "buttery" which meant nothing to me. And then I bought the Mercury K1 75% and I am convinced that this keyboard is so underrated that giving it less than 5 stars feels like a crime. The travel of the keys and responsiveness is fantastic. Then there is the "thocky" sound. It sounds like someone is clapping in the room next to me with the door closed. Its essentially a muted clicking sound and I LOVE it. Its heavy enough to keep from sliding on my desk or my desk mat. But the best part is that you can change the RGB lights IN YOUR BROWSER! There's no app like Razers insane need for an app to function. Its intuitive and you dont need to download something to your pc. The look is stylish and stands out, its durable and the lighting is like every other rgb keyboard (breathing, static, waves, you know, the usual) but where this shines, is the battery life. Ive never had to rush to find the charging cable while playing or working due to a low battery. It has three ways of connecting: wired, a dongle (for those of us with a PC that doesnt have a bluetooth option) and old reliable Bluetooth. I use the dongle and wired settings and have not noticed any input lag. Whether you find this on a sale, or pay full price, I say go for it. I wouldnt say its life changing but it IS a gamechanger. I purchased the matching mouse and I dont think I will be buying another keyboard until they come out with a full size (with numpad).
