AI score breakdown
scored as keyboardsIts biggest strength is the TMR magnetic switch/8000Hz polling combo delivering class-leading latency and precision alongside a deep feature set (Rapid Trigger, SnapKey, hot-swap); its biggest weakness is a typing experience that reviewers found overly smooth with a thunky spacebar and no dedicated ergonomic accommodations like tilt or wrist support.
The overall score is the weighted average of these criteria — not a separate judgement. AI-generated scores are not hands-on test results. Percentages show each criterion's weight for this product type.
