Not even close. Space bar isn't some stupid mesh like surface and it doesn't have that horrible font, whatever it is. I could go on but you need glasses.
On my Corsair K70 (which is suspiciously similar to the point I wouldn't be surprised if they share a PCB design and OEM), the second USB port is just for power reasons over USB 2.0 with the RGBs and USB passthrough. You can plug it into a single USB 3.0 port, two USB 2.0 ports, or two USB 3.0 ports and the functionality is identical.
backlighting (I like) plus MX switches (I also like) mean the light is at the top. Sticking both characters up there is just how it has to be, whether the lights are disco or not
Hmmm, for 130 bucks, there is no incentive not to buy a corsair. Not going to list all the pros, as this keyboard covers most of them, the thing is corsair is proven, with a good company for support. As well, as great gaming experience, farcry5 is the bomb playing on a corsair. So, that's where I'd stuff my 130 bucks.
I bought the K90 Vengeance MMO because of a sale for 80€. It had dead and dim LEDs out of the box as did the replacement. Since the forum were full of people complaining about the same thing even after numerous replacements, I decided to just get my money back. That turned me off Corsair for peripherals and backlight for mechanical keyboards as well.
As long as this can be used without any software, this is a winner. A cross platform that is literally an RGB version of the old Corsair Vengeance, with nice letter fonts instead of the crappy new fonts that Corsair uses. I never thought I cared that much about fonts, but when I'm looking at a keyboard on those late nights when I can't for the life of me type entirely without looking at the keyboard, it is a pain, especially the numbers being reversed with the symbols in the Lux version.

Is n-key rollover still an issue? Also, are there 2 USB inputs for the keyboard? That probably won't work with my KVM switch, then.Destoya - Friday, June 1, 2018 - link

I love the way they make the 2 character keycaps look like manufacturing errors to make the Frag Harder Disco Lights work "better".MamiyaOtaru - Saturday, June 2, 2018 - link

Dedicated Media Keys, No useless macro keys...If my G710+ ever dies I will consider it. Unfortunately for them Logitech built this thing too well.

The keyboard body looks thick though, with the keys higher up than on competing keyboards.No mention if the keys are painted and laser-ablated or double-shot, but it looks like the former sadly.
