10000mah in an 87 key layout? that is massive tbh. the battery life must be insane on this one 🔥
The web driver sounds convenient but does it actually register macros at the 1000Hz polling rate without input lag? I am worried about the polling rate dropping when the software is active.
Usually web drivers handle macros via local storage rather than a constant stream to the host. The 1000Hz polling should remain stable for raw input. You just need to ensure the browser does not sleep.
349 cny is a solid price for tri mode. I might grab one for my secondary rig if the switches feel good.
I am skeptical about the ABS foggy material. It tends to get shiny and slippery after a few weeks of heavy use. The semi transparent caps might also bleed light too much for my taste.
Hot swappable is nice but will the web driver work on linux? I prefer using open source tools for my setup.
The web driver will likely not work well on linux due to browser compatibility issues. You might need a local daemon or to rely on the hardware macros if the driver is cloud based only.
