Where the layers disagree ⚡
3 CONTRADICTIONS DETECTEDUSER vs USER: There is a stark reliability contrast between switch types; Red switches are praised for long-term durability, while Aqua switches are heavily reported to fail within months (double typing, unresponsiveness).
VIDEO vs VIDEO: While reviewers praise the 'solid af' premium build, specific video commenters report catastrophic physical defects, such as the 'W' key physically jumping out and RGB lights dying within days.
USER vs VIDEO: Both layers perfectly align on the acoustics and feel of the board, specifically praising the satisfying sound and smooth operation of the linear (Red) switches.
