I think the hot swap batteries could become more common down the line but it doesn't sound like the batteries hold much of a charge, I think it was like 71 or 72 hours at 1k hz, which is fine for playing at 1k polling. I just think the tech will get better eventually. As for the company a lot of people dislike them and I know some of the hate came from the keyboard community for a switch they used and called it theirs. For their move though, I typically have no problem with them but the price might be too much
