I had a Trigger for about a week. I initially liked it, as my first mechanical in years. The first thing I had issue with was, at the time, there was no easy way to enable the Windows Key. They totally killed it. Later after my (& others?) questioning them on this they amended their FAQ to include instructions. You dedicate a profile to having the WinKey active. The second thing that bothered me was not being allowed into their online support forum, as an owner I was major PO'd. They NEVER replied to my questions why? Next was the backlighting. I've seen backlit keyboards, I couldn't believe how bright the lowest setting was. It was BRIGHT and went up from there. Then the nail in the coffin. The LEDs for CapsLock & ScrollLock lit together regardless which key was pushed. That was verified by CM as a failure. That was my opportunity to return it to Amazon. Yay!
I next bought the Tesoro Durandal G1NL which was more $ when I bought it but is currently $111 on Amazon! It's a MaxKeyboard relative, they distribute and obviously use some similar parts. Look at the keys, better layout for backlighting. It lacks the 5 dedicated macro keys but is slimmer because of that. The WinKey is a toggle. Both are Cherry Brown. The backlighting is great, low is, the keys are Red. Then you go up to more brightness. The included wrist rest is smaller but I'm getting a 3M anyway. The shape is more conservative but has some flair. It has macro software and profiles, and NKRO on USB. So, I love mine and would recommend it especially with the new low price on Amazon.
Also, it has two USB and audio/mic pass through. Not powered like is optional on Trigger.
