DUSTSILVER Wireless Mechanical Keyboard Bluetooth 5.0/2.4G/USB 3 Connections 84 Keys Hot-swappable Red Switch RGB Backlit Macro Keyboard for Mac ipad Laptop Programmers Office Work

Okay, Im going to be really honest here - I bought this keyboard solely because of the color scheme. Its got those classic Gundam colors, and I couldnt resist. However, the keyboard itself is also perfect. This thing feels great. Im a freelance writer, and I really need a keyboard that I can use for hours. This one fits the bill perfectly. In addition to the keyboard, it comes with a key removal tool and dusting brush, which are a nice touch. It also came with four sample inputs in cyan, black, brown, and red. Honestly, if I were to buy another keyboard, Id probably choose one with cyan (or blue) switches. These red switches are great, and smooth, but the sound from the cyan switches is so satisfying.

I love the color choices of read, white, orange and blue. this keyboard has long travel which means I dont type three extra letters for some words. Its well made, good quality and well worth the money.

Wow this thing sounds superb stock. I went ahead and did some mods since I’m a keyboard nerd who can’t help but make it even better. If you’re looking for a keyboard that doesn’t sound bad out of the box this is definitely it. The black switch has the deepest sound, red will be lighter and slightly quieter. I prefer a more “thocky” sound so I chose blacks.

I love this thing! It comes extremely well-packaged; surrounded in foam and with a hard plastic cover that you can keep and use to protect your keyboard from dust and grime. It also comes with all the accessories individually packaged. You get a kecap and switch puller combination, a USB-C cable, one each of a black, blue, silver, red, and brown switch to further customize your keyboard, and although it is not pictured, a USB-C to USB-A connector. The keyboard features Gateron switches. I got the red, and along with the PBT keycaps, they make this keyboard feel smooth and pillowy to type on. They are pretty darn quiet but still with a smooth crisp feel. The keyboard features pink plate on the top, and underneath it is the wireless/bluetooth/wired switch, as well as secure storage for the 2.4 Ghz dongle. That is a very clever place to put it. You just slide off the plate and you can change the connection mode and remove or replace the dongle. The sides of the keyboard also slide off, but that is more for cosmetics and maybe for more customization as there are no buttons under the sides. The keyboard has RGB backlighting that does not shine through the keycaps. I guess it is hard to get the cutouts to work with the RGB, so be aware that the lighting is really an effect. They profile of the keys are XDA. The keytops have a nice slope to them that makes touch typing pleasant. You will get all the home cluster keys in addition to all four arrow keys without having to use Fn combinations. You get a booklet that shows you what Fn combinations to press to change the RGB backlighting colors, speed, brightness, and effects. The keyboard is pretty much plug and play, but you can go to the manufacturers website and download drivers to customize the keyboard through software if you like. The keyboard must be wired for that to work. There are both Windows and Mac drivers, although they are shared through Google Drive and are not signed, which is something the company needs to improve. The color and style of the keyboard is really unique. I love the sky blue and pink, and the typeface of the fonts on the keys is more of a gamer font, but still easy to read. This has become one of my favorite keyboards, and I would highly recommend it. It has a distinctive look and feel that will be a welcome customization to any computer setup.

This is a nice keyboard. I like the colors and the keycaps are fairly good. I had this for several weeks now, and I definitely like it a lot after getting used to it. Ive been using it mostly for typing and also for FPS gaming, but there is one issue that I ran into. I tried using the wireless dongle that it came with and it kind of got stuck in my usb port and I ended up having to use pliers to get it out. In the process it did break and I honestly dont know why it was difficult to get out. It just wouldnt budge at all, which is weird since all my other usb dongles for my electronics go in and out easily, but wired is fine for now it was just the only issue I did run into. The RGB is a bit underwhelming and does look at bit weird in the dark. I wish it was just better and instead of bleeding through basically, you can actually read the keys a bit. Only thing I really didnt like, but I do have rgb on and I have muscle memory. It is just not good lighting and lighting up the letters, punctuation, symbols, function, etc. would make it a lot better.

So heres the deal. Im not going to assume you know much about mechanical keyboards, dear reader. Truth be told, I dont know a TON myself, and Im not a hardcore modder, where Im going to be changing out all my switches, and fiddling with keycaps. A mechanical keyboard is kind of how they USED to build keyboards. Each key activates a switch which makes the connection for your keypress. These days, mechanical keyboards are designed with hot-swappable switches, so you can customize your keypress feel and sound. Theres anything from the clicky sound and feel of the old IBM Model M keyboard (blue switches), to more smooth, linear keypresses comparable to some more recent keyboards (black switches). These mechanical switches usually require more force to actuate than todays membrane keyboards, where a keypress squishes a membrane beneath it to make contact. The difference being if a mechanical switch goes bad, it can be replaced, while a membrane keyboard would have to have the entire membrane beneath the keyboard replaced. Such cost and effort is usually not worth it with membrane keyboards, as theyre so inexpensive. Now, to get to THIS keyboard. This is my first experience with a mechanical keyboard in decades. Id been curious about these keyboards for a long time, but wasnt sure I wanted to spend the higher price. I could get a replacement keyboard for $10, while mechanical keyboards start in the $30+ range, and thats for the cheap, no-name brands. This Dustsilver currently sells for just around $100 at the time of writing this review. This mechanical keyboard is a little different than traditional mechanical keyboards, as its an OPTICAL mechanical keyboard. What this means is theres a little beam of light shining into a receptor under each key. The mechanical switch on this keyboard hides that beam of light, which registers a keypress on the keyboard. The switches, then, arent actually making contact with anything, which will supposedly improve the longevity of the keyboard. These switches are special optical mechanical switches, and while they are similarly classified to the full mechanical switches (using Cherrys color-coding for types of switches), are not interchangeable with regular mechanical switches. Unboxing: The unboxing experience was kind of neat. It was in a plain black box with red accents. Kinda cool-looking. Opening the box revealed the keyboard in a small anti-static bag, with the neon green and orange colors bleeding through the white bag. At the top of the keyboard box was a separate box that contained the USB-A to USB-C cable. (The C side plugs into the keyboard, while the connection to the computer is A.) It also contained a set of 4 replacement switches (Brown, Black, Red, and Blue, 1 of each.) Finally it contained a brush for dusting, and a keycap/switch removal tool. Look of the keyboard: The only version of this keyboard available on Vine when I got it was the annoying purple/green/orange/black keyboard. It looks like a Babys First Keyboard toy. I honestly hate it. I wanted to try this keyboard though, so I got it. I cant really knock off a star for this color scheme, as I knew what I was getting into when I got it. It obviously intended to look this way. The key size is kind of classic. Large, chunky keys, rising up from the keyboard base. The switches are set into the base of the keyboard, though, so its not as raised as some modern mechanical keyboards so you can see the switches from the side. It still looks like a professionally-produced keyboard, not a hobbyists production. The Num lock, caps lock, and scroll lock (I think its scroll lock, though I cant activate it at the moment) are bright white. I like how easy they are to see. Experience - I got the black switches, and after testing the spare switches that came with the keyboard, Im glad I did. I like there to be no audible click, and I dont want to feel that tactile click give way when I press the key. I like the linear, smooth feel. It really reminds me a LOT of the old style Apple IIe keyboards I played with in grade school in the late 80s. Long travel, smooth-but-substantial feel of each keypress. Its a far cry from the chiclet-style keyboards Ive gotten used to, and at the end of the day (I work in IT so have to do lots of typing), I can feel the difference in my fingers. The home row landmark keys (F and J), as well as the 5 on the 10-key have raised bumps which may comfort touch-typists. (I dont type correctly, so I mostly ignore it.) Even without the audible click, the keypresses of this keyboard sound chunky. Theyre definitely more pronounced than modern keyboards, so if you want something that is silent, a mechanical keyboard is not going to be for you. Finally, there are 3 levels of tilt to this keyboard. Theres with the legs flat down, slightly raised, or fully raised. (See the pics for a pic of the feet and how they look/work.) I type with the highest level of tilt, and thankful thats a feature on this keyboard. Overall, I really like this keyboard as my first experience with mechanical keyboards in a couple of decades. Youre going to want to review the color-coding of switches, and make sure you select the color of switches you want. It can be expensive to replace a whole keyboards worth of switches. When I was looking at switch replacements it was $27 for 70 mechanical-optical switches, and youll need more than that to do a whole keyboard. (108 keys on this one, though you could buy a 70-pack and replace the letters, numbers, and most other frequently-used switches.) Solid keyboard!

The keys are not as high as all the TikTok and Instagram build your keyboard video. They are spaced out nicely so no accidental presses, especially if you got Mickey mouse gloves for hands. I use this keyboard for office work and I cant get enough of how amazing these brown switches are. The only thing I dont like is the font used on the board. They are large and make me feel like I am using a keyboard for kids. But it isnt a deal breaker for me.

I’ve ordered this keyboard in the pink color twice. Both times, it has arrived in the wrong color. I can’t even “replace” it now via Amazon. I can only return. It’s a shame because it seems like a decent keyboard. Buyer beware!

Love this keyboard. Have talked two others into purchase. Love the way it types, the easy shortcut keys, appearance, feel, and ease of set up. Really heavy which I prefer to prevent shifting but not recommended for travel.
