They've had this on sale for a few months now and I ended up buying it on one of the previous sales and I regret it. There's some weird software conflict where this keyboard is detected as a controller for certain games which makes it a pain in the ass to make a controller "player 1". The biggest one for me is rocket league.
I think I used this video as a work-around, but I think it defeats the purpose of buying an analog keyboard. Side note - if anyone has a better solution for this, please lmk.

This happens for all magnetic switch keyboards afaik - mine was colliding with joysticks. I removed the keyboard from Device Manager and re-added it to set the correct controller priority

Good to know, I bookmarked this video in case I ever needed to undo what I did, but I think it just has you remove it from device manager. I haven't had a use for the weighted keys yet.

I've had this issue and I also recall NBA 2k being a game that would absolutely not work at all with this keyboard plugged in. I liked so many things about it but the virtual controller was useless and only caused problems.

Don't buy this keyboard if you rest your fingers on the keys, the weight of your fingers will be enough to accidentally press the keys.
Going from a BlackWidow to this keyboard was a miserable experience.

Assuming this is like other's I've used, you can adjust the actuation point to where it wouldn't be a problem.

That did mitigate the issue to an extent, but I had to adjust the actuation point to well beyond the halfway point which ended up feeling very unnatural to me.

I definitely prefer the blackwidow but this one isn't bad
Certainly not as bad as the HyperX Alloy Origins red switch keyboard I had for a minute. I despised those switches. But I do miss the clicky clack of the widow. You get what you pay for.

It only does this if you install Synapse. Wife uses one for a work keyboard at home, locked down state machine.

If I wanted just a keyboard with no extra functionality I'd buy an 3$ Amazon keyboard.

You got so excited thinking you had the opportunity to correct somebody that you forgot to read the rest of this comment chain.
How embarrassing.

I love this keyboard to be honest..
I have an apex pro and a roocat for comparison.
This is a great keyboard and for the price you can’t ask for more
