Questions about this item

Should I pick the low-profile mechanical version or a standard mechanical one?

This model uses Kailh low-profile switches with 1.5 mm pre-travel and 3.0 mm total travel, giving a shorter stroke than full-height mechanical keyboards.

What does the 1.5 mm pre-travel figure mean when I am actually typing or gaming?

The key registers after only 1.5 mm of downward movement, so inputs are recognised faster than on switches with longer pre-travel distances.

The keyboard connects over USB 2.0 — does that limit the polling rate or lighting speed?

USB 2.0 provides ample bandwidth for standard keyboard polling and per-key RGB effects; no practical cap is reached in normal use.
