- Software easy to use and navigate, as well as reprogram the keys.
- Synapse 3 is pretty stable and a nice interface for setting this all up.
- The whole unit exudes quality and coupled with the software on the PC, I have been able to set the lighting to something I am happy with.
- The media control buttons are definitely not worth the price you pay.

- The wrist pad that comes with it is really comfy and has a really good grip to it as well.
