Pros: My initial review was meant to be 3 stars and I accidentally posted as 2 star so I'm updating with 4 stars after discovering a few things. The buzzing emitting from the top of the monitor mentioned earlier seems to be caused by the speakers; you can get rid of it by turning the built in speaker volume to 0 but it will come back every time you restart your computer or power on. The fix for this seems to be to turn the volume up 1 in the menu and then back to 0 and the buzzing goes away again until you restart/power on again. Not an ideal fix but I'm glad it's just the speakers and not something else. The ghosting/mouse lag I was experiencing seems to have been caused by a bad DP cable that shipped, because after swapping cables both issues are gone. As for the uniformity issues mentioned, it's better after calibration but there's still noticeable dark shades around the edge of the screen especially noticeable if you fullscreen a webpage. Overall I'm actually quite happy with it now despite my initial impressions.

Cons: Display uniformity

Looks nice

Kingston DataTraveler SE9 G2 64GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive DTSE9G2/64GBCR
Kingston DataTraveler SE9 G2 64GB USB 3.0 Flash Drive DTSE9G2/64GBCR

Pros: Aesthetics Capacity

Cons: The tip of the metal enclosure is so thin it's already dented inward after a few weeks Slow write speed

Overall Review: I really liked it when I first received it and could forgive the slow write speed, it's intended as a backup to read from more than anything, but the metal casing (specifically at the tip where you insert it) is too thin to hold up over time. Needs a cap or thicker material.

Died after a year

Pros: Simple clean design, no gaudy gamer aesthetic. I've owned the Strafe RGB and K65 and prefer this- keys are better, lighting is better.

Cons: None

Can't complain for the price
