The Dygma Defy: A Premium Keyboard That Hits Both Ways

Note: This video was re-uploaded to resolve issues with the audio levels on the original.

This is an honest review of the Dygma Defy based on several weeks of use. It has a solid build with the best sound and feel, with some of the best hardware out of the split keyboards I've reviewed (at the time of publishing). The RGB underglow is amazing. The built-in tenting is the best I've tried. But, on the other hand, the firmware limitations are a major hinderance for those who want to get the most functionality out of their keyboard.
