Connect up to three Bluetooth compatible devices such as laptops, tablets or mobile phones, toggle among them by pressing Fn and numbers 1 to 3 accordingly.

Cherry MX mechanical switches

Red switches feature simple operation and low spring resistance, making it a popular choice for users to balance between work and play. Both switches are rated at 50-million keystrokes for maximum durability.

PBT Keycaps
PBT designed keycaps are known for its rigidity and texture, and is more resilient against solvents, making it easy to maintain and withstand repeated use.

Ergonomic Wrist Rest
Features an integrated wrist rest fulfilling basic ergonomics. Type and game with utmost comfort.

The W1 WIRELESS Mechanical Gaming Keyboard uses two 1.5 V AA batteries under wireless mode, and comes with a convenient receiver storage located at the back of the keyboard. On the top right, it features dedicated multimedia controls and a gaming mode switch that allows users to disable the windows key to prevent accidental press, and has an individual power button on the side for faster access!

Thermaltake seems very "inspired" by Corsair and Logitech in this one indeed.
Thermaltake has been an "inspired" company for some years now.
Thermaltake has been "inspired" by other products and companies since their inception.
That's why they have "take" in their name

That's true, but without logitech's romer-g switches that break systematically. I'm on my second G413 and I'm not abusive to my keyboard in the least.

They even copied logitech's g613 disadvantages, for example the non-removable wrist wrest :D

I'd still buy it though. I wonder whether windows hello could support a wireless keyboard such as this if it had an integrated fingerprint reader (whether the relevant data can be sent wirelessly). I would buy that in an instant.

And also "too linear", at least in my taste. Gaming would take advantages on that, but not so much when typing.
Keychron K8 would be good alternative, but its TKL and I need numpad keys. G915 GL tactile feels good, but I wouldn't pay that much for gamer garbage feature I don't need.
