Keyboard is perfectly fine IMO.
Make sure you mess with the color profile. I think mine is P3 in the MyAsus app.
The keyboard is fine. The 'Windows Hello' camera simply does not work reliably. (My older ASUS OLED's fingerprint scanner was perfect.)
16GB is fine for most people. The laptop runs super cool and quiet. It barely even gets to lukewarm when resting on a blanket.
My older ASUS (1240p CPU) would be blasting its fan and hot to the touch in the same situation.
Make sure you change the keyboard color from the awful "dollar store blue LED" that it comes standard with. (Customize -> dynamic lighting).
Other than that, Wireless is BLAZING fast. I can get over 135 MB/s over WiFi 7 with MLO. Internet connectivity consistently clocks in at gigabit down, 800 up. (FiOS 940/840 plan). It could likely cap out the "1200 Mb" (and piddling 35 up) plan from Xfinity/Scumcast.
Make sure you turn off SMPS and enable throughput booster in device management, disable PCIE power management in the power plan as well.
For some reason, this is the only laptop I use where I'm *constantly* zooming in and out while using it. I had to disable pinch to zoom in the settings.
As far as build quality, mine lives in my bedroom from when I took it out of the box. Yesterday, a piece of the cheap plastic for the antennas broke off after less than a month of use and *literally* (not like.. oh once I took it to… literally not once) having been anywhere other than the box, my bed, or in my nightstand.
Overall: 8/10, minor improvements needed.
