Reviewers from pcmag have found:
The AW510K is a surprisingly conventional full-size keyboard. It has 105 keys, including shared media controls on the F9 through F12 keys. The keys have a very light touch and are quick to depress. The RGB lighting plays an outsized role in establishing the look.
Pros
  • Low-profile Cherry MX Red mechanical switches
  • Solid typing experience
  • USB pass-through

  • No dedicated mute button
  • No dedicated volume roller
