> 3 dayYo, This Mars keyboard has serious swaggg!!!! Love the backlight, love that it has the OPTION to be wired or bluetooth, as I prefer to use wired always -- because bluetooth is not good for the body. Loving the click-clack with each key press, really gives it that old school typewriter feel. I am happy to have a new keyboard, as I am long overdue and have been using the same one for ten years. Cheers to the next ten years!!

> 3 dayFirst thing I like to do when I get a new keyboard is test all the keys. This keyboard showed why I should keep doing that. The right enter key didnt work. Thankfully, this did come with a switch puller, so I pulled the switch and found a bent terminal. Yep, thatll do it. Also thankfully, this came with spare switches, so I popped one in and now it works. Thats great and all, but I shouldnt have to replace a switch 30 seconds after taking it out of the box. Someone in QC should have caught that. I can probably salvage that switch, but getting that straight is going to be...fun. The keyboard itself is fine. The fact that the power indicator is an LED under an opaque cap is an odd decision. They could have put an LED anywhere else. The included keycaps are completely opaque, so the backlight is kind of pointless. Well, you can always swap the keycaps. RGB just looks weird with the matcha caps anyway. The keyboard just sits flat. Theres nothing to prop it up. It also comes with no wrist support, so youll want to get your own. The charging cable also holds the wireless transmitter, so thats nifty. You can use it wired with that cable too. I plugged the USB-A end into my computer and it instantly worked with windows 11. Broken parts aside, the build quality is pretty good. There certainly are better built keyboards out there, but they are also more expensive. This keyboard would definitely be rated higher if I didnt need to repair it immediately.

> 3 dayThis 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!

21-11-2024Edit: 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..

> 3 dayIve 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.

22-11-2024I 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!
