The feel of the simple mechanical shaft is a little close to the red shaft, and because the key stroke has become shorter, I have a feeling of discomfort at first.

However, after a period of adaptation, the overall touch of the keys is still very good, especially after being familiar with the key schedule, the better experience is that it is not as tired as before. In general, if you are accustomed to using traditional mechanical keyboards, you will feel uncomfortable when you first use the K70 RGB MK.2 Low Profile, an American merchant pirate ship.
