Mine just showed up. Looks great and no problems that I can tell. Gonna take some time to adjust to these Halo Trues after using Blues for so long.
For the Mac users, I found these backlit modifier caps that I'll be trying out. (The CTRL uses 6.25 spacebar)

Regarding the color, the metallic nature seems to make it look brighter or darker depending on the lighting conditions around it. In a darker lit area, it looks really dark like actual space gray and in more brightly lit areas, it reflects a lot more of the light and looks brighter like a regular silver macbook type color.
Also, has anyone been able to get this thing to connect using a Type C to Type C cable? I tried 2 different Type C to C cables and the board wouldn't power on with either.

FastRedPonyCArI would double check that your cables are/t Thunderbolt 3, I think they are a different standard than typical USB3.1

jdamourThis one works though. I was using it to connect a USB C RAID box. No idea what could be different between them.

The usb RAID box works fine with that red cable. Transfer speeds are the same.

FastRedPonyCArI'm not sure, I'm not well versed with USB chipset specs. USB C is weird bc it puts a large strain on producers to make sure interfaces are compatible, compared to other cables that are more likely to be compatible due to a proprietary connector vs a universal one. For instance, you're almost guaranteed that a cdmi cable will work bc there is only one hdmi standard with one connector, and it's designed for one purpose. USB C has so many different uses, different standards and compatibilities that It's hard to tell which cable you need. I don't know why that cable doesn't work

FastRedPonyCArI had the same issue/question about type c. I'm hoping this drop is worth it... https://www.massdrop.com/buy/73919
