> 24 hourEdit: The customer service response was very quick. They are taking care of my problem so I highly recommend a company that works hard to make sure its customers are happy. This is a great keyboard with a really solid construction on the foundation. I love how compact it is for having a full keypad. The problem is I had several bad switches out of the box and even though it came with three extra switches I’ve already use those. So I have no margin for error and I’m concerned what happens the next time the switch goes bad. I don’t have any yellows. So if I replace a switch it’s not going to match. I didn’t go lower because I do have a full function keyboard but I no longer have any margin for error. The next switch that dies I will not have a replacement. I don’t know if this is an issue with the yellow switches or not. But perhaps they need to start including a lot larger number of replacement switches. Perhaps even a full set..

> 24 hourThis is a super fun keyboard - all the keys that you can swap out are great. It functions really well and has a great feel to it. Its not going to be come my primary keyboard simply because I have one that so far, no other keyboard has been able to beat it out. You cant really go wrong with this one though.

> 24 hourThe BOYI TK96 90% RGB Hot Swappable Triple Mode Keyboard,2.4Ghz/Bluetooth 5.0/Wired Keyboard N-Key Rollover Custom Compact Gateron Yellow Switch Mechanical Gaming Keyboard(Mars Green OEM Keycap: This is a really nice prebuilt mechanical keyboard. Gateron are among some of my favorite switches and these yellows are very nice linier switches. Also the keycaps feel, sound and look great as well. I prefer shine through caps as I work allot at night, so I will probably change these out for some shine throughs. However these are super nice and feel, sound and look awesome. There is no deck flex and all feels very well made and solid. There is a very, very slight ping at the bottom of the stroke, but otherwise the whole thing feels and sounds great. This leaves a little something for the keyboard moders to do. To be clear this is not really detectable on a solid surface. Overall the sound is very good. The chaise is all ABS on the outside, with a metal plate on the inside. Switches are hot swappable, and the keyboard comes with a keycap and switch puller, as well as 4 extra switches for when you wear out the W,S,A,D. This is a very compelling keyboard for the money, and the software driver is very nice and gives you control over lighting and key sensitivity. You can also control the lighting on the keyboard itself. All the normal lighting modes are present, however even at the slowest speed they move pretty fast. The LEDs are very bright, with very saturated colors and other than the quick speeds they look great. The keyboard base lays flat with no feet for angles. Some will love this, specially those who dont love wrist wrests. For others this will sit a bit low in the back, if you are used to a tall angle. I feel like the base sits at a decent height, however I do prefer a bit more angle, or at least Ive gotten used to more of an angle, but this feels good. Overall I feel like this is a great prebuilt for the money. Great switches, great key caps, a solid deck, and at least some of the normal moding improvements are already done for you. This is a great place to start if you dont want to build from scratch. This comes great right out of the box, and gives you plenty of room to personalize, with different caps and switches should you want. Overall I very much like this prebuilt mechanical keyboard for the money. Well done BOYI, great keyboard.

> 24 hourI originally purchased this keyboard for a friend but I ended up keeping it for myself! Very nice sound when pressing the keys; I got the yellow switches, not too loud but not too soft. My old keyboard had been a low profile Corsair keyboard with cherry switches but it took up half of my desk! Compared to the size of my old keyboard this one gives you lots of space on your desk without sacrificing comfort. I definitely recommend this to anyone who is looking for a cute, comfortable, quiet, and compact keyboard!

> 24 hourIve never had a keyboard like this before mine have all been higher-end ones nit this one is laid out as I have never seen before. It arrived just fine without any defects that I could see. On getting it out you get the keyboard, a c charging cable (I love that it is USB C charging), four extra switches, two keycap pullers, and a dongle. I really like how they attached the dongle to the USB cord that was a neat trick. To say this is quiet is an understatement I could be typing next to my wife sleeping and she would never know. The one thing that threw me for a loop is that it is missing the end key which is strange as I use that pretty frequently but have found ways around it. Other than that they do jam all the keys together Im used to the bridge above the arrow keys but this does not have that. it does have some neat backlights too but I wish they had made the letter clear as that would have made it more noticeable. All in all, I do like this keyboard (Im using it to write this review, it just takes a bit of getting used to.

> 24 hourThis is my second Boyi brand keyboard. After the first keyboard I was very excited about getting my hands on this one. Overall I quite like the keyboard, but it has some shortcomings. First the good. The keyswitches are gateron yellows. This is a safe option as I feel they are a switch most people would be happy with. In addition to that there is the fact that it is hotswappable, making it super easy to switch out for a switch you prefer. Personally I find the 90% form factor great as you get a more compact keyboard, without giving up much like your numpad. The keycaps seem nice and sturdy, and they have center printed characters instead of the offset ones that drive me crazy. Lastly the inclusion of both a keycap puller and a keycap/keyswitch combo puller. Both in the wire style that I prefer. On the other hand there are some drawbacks I dont love. There arent any feet. I find it quite uncomfortable to type on a flat keyboard, this doesnt have any options to solve that. My best attempt is trying to find something to lean it on, but its tricky to get the height right. The other big annoyance for me is with the 2.4g dongle. While most keyboards like this, even the other Boyi keyboard I own, have a place on the keyboard to store the dongle, this one chose to include a little clip that goes on the cable. While it is still a better option than a loose dongle it doesnt really provide much confidence in not losing the dongle if I end up taking this keyboard out and about. Overall, this is a good keyboard but it couldve been great. For the price this thing is still a better pick than an overpriced mainstream keyboard, but it definitely has some shortcomings that could be quite frustrating.

> 24 hourThis keyboard is a double plus. It has a great action and very easy on the eyes. Also, it can be used Bluetooth or wired, which is great when I have a Bluetooth problem. This does happen. It is great to use. I am going to get another one!

> 24 hourThis keyboard is made well and is great for Gamers or keyboard enthusiasts. The keyboard has several different back light modes and some are really impressive. The keys make a wonderful sound when used and keyboard geeks will absolutely love it. I have only used it wired (as this is my preference)but there is a Bluetooth option as well. The keyboard is a good size without being too big and is comfortable on my lap. If you want a high performance and ultra cool keyboard, this keyboard is just what you need. It is a little expensive, but worth the money due to the high quality construction and durable nature of this keyboard.

> 24 hourLooks absolutely stunning in person. The keyboard has such a nice sound to it. It came packaged nicely, and the product itself feels very solid & high quality. It comes with extra key caps, a keycap puller, and some yellow switches. The instruction manual is great and so if the RGB, but I wish it could light up in a solid color and the RGB clashes with the keyboard aesthetic! Overall, I really like it.
