If you're interested in this keyboard for the number pad, be aware that the small zero key there is going to make data entry a living hell. You need to contort your thumb to get there, and when you get it wrong you'll hit the right arrow instead, jumping to another cell or field.

This is EXTREMELY valuable info! Thank you.
I am looking more into Hall Effect keyboards, but I still do work on it. If you're just doing gaming, then this should be fine. This 0 key might just be a huge issue for some that definitely needs awareness.

Reviews say the software is janky too but eh, I'm looking for the kinesthetics

It hooks up to Icue Just fine all of my other peripherals and AIO are Corsair so figured would give it a go. Some would say I'm a Corsair "Fan" Boy get it lol sorry had to. My Daily for work is the KeyCron V6 which is amazing. The 0 is a bit weird and the placement something ill get used to. I am not nice to my keyboards so need something I can change out the switches with. So HE is right out for me (I've got ham hands).

I'm using this keyboard right now. You do need to tune the key bounce in iCue as it's initially incredibly sensitive and you'll see double key presses a lot until you tune it from 1 ms to something like 10 ms. It's very responsive so if you type hard like I do then it needs to be adjusted to stop the double presses.
That said, I love the feel of the keys as I type, it is very smooth and is a pleasure to type on. iCue finally has support for this keyboard, so you can upload fun animated gifs onto it.
The 0 button on the numpad does take some getting used to. I don't use the numbpad too often but when I do, I'm mindful about the 0 key position.
Otherwise, it's about as reasonably compact as a full sized keyboard that you can get. Great for work, great for games.

Software is a NIGHTMARE now.

I used to love corsair, especially for the software. I could reprogram any key, do complex macros, it was awesome. But the high profile keys made me typo like crazy so I switched to a logitech gpro after a coffee spill destroyed my corsair.

I sorely missed the software, so when corsair came out with a low profile key version, I jumped on it.

Sorry to say, the software had been changed into a nightmare, and not only was it very confusing, it just doesn't work right anymore. I worked with corsair support for over a month, tweaking and uninstalling other programs, but nothing made the software operate as it should. They kept telling me some other program on my computer was "interfering" but nothing they suggested fixed the problem.

I finally gave up in despair and am back on my logitech. No reprogramming software and the symbols are gone from all regular use keys, but until corsair fixes the nightmare they've created, that's where I'll stay.

I'm currently using this keyboard after picking it up when it was released. I made a few tweaks in the browser based software tool and haven't touched iCue as I've had awful experiences with it myself in the past. Not needing iCue and the config saving on the keyboard itself was a big selling point for me.

Omg yes I had this issue with my last Corsair keyboard. Switched to an Asus TKL board and I've had no issues since.

I have a serious keyboard addiction. I have built a few, but mostly just buy highly reviewed, viral keyboards within the community, and this is not it. If anyone wants an incredible keyboard with all the bells and whistles, magnetic keys, double shot, gasket mount with that creamy thock sound for a very low 55 dollars, get the Attack Shark R85 HE 75 percent. Incredible keyboard, highly reviewed, and awesome specs.
