Plenty of lights if you want them, or they can be disabled with a single function key-press. I was able to pair it with a Linux laptop, Android Tablet, and Chromebook via Bluetooth and switch between them without issues (it has 3 bluetooth profiles, plus the included 2.4Ghz wireless dongle). The volume "roller" with push to mute is nicer to use than a knob, and I really appreciate the battery checking button, which lights up the number keys from 1-0 representing the amount of remaining charge (e.g. keys 1-7 light up, 70% charge). I never have to wonder just how long I have left before needing to charge. The yellow key-switches are definitely your best option if you want the feel of a mechanical keyboard but don't like noise. (They still make noise, but it's a much less noticeable muffled click than the other options.) The keyboard can lay flat, and has two leg size options (6 degree and 9 degree). Some people may want more than 9 degrees, but I feel it is sufficient. The keyboard is "low profile" mostly at the front, as the rear of the keyboard is much higher than the front, and I don't really feel that it's that much thinner than other gaming keyboards on the market. Overall that was nothing I disliked about the keyboard, it was very functional and everything just worked. On the other hand, it feels very mainstream and normal (for an RGB LED keyboard) and there wasn't anything about it I fell in love with either.
