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

So my mother is losing her vision and she frequently mistypes. Due to this shes become incredible picky about keyboards. I started out with an ergonomic keyboard (curved) and it was fine for a while...then it wasnt - this is a recurring theme in the quest for a good keyboard : ) I then switched to the yellow and black low vision keyboard with the huge font that are sold by basically everyone. It was $20, it had the lowest activation threshold I had ever used (up until that point), and I thought it was great (I use an Apple Magic Keyboard, so no travel and light activation is what I really like). We then tried the Vizio 5 color backlit keyboard, which had an even lighter activation/travel point - basically you could almost blow on the keys and they would register. My moms typing/misspelling got even worse. So, I decided we would go in the complete opposite direction - keys with long travel that need a little more force than membrane keyboards. I checked out all the switch types and ruled out clickies. I also ruled out anything that needed a ton of force, but werent insanely light (like membrane keyboards). Optical black linear switches seemed to be the way to go. Quiet, long travel, and a little bit of force needed to avoid typing errors without stressing out your hands. Ive tried at least 5 different keyboards, and every time I raved about how great each keyboard was...until my mother rejected every one of them. The font on the cheap yellow and black low vision keyboards start to wear out after 2 months, the Vizio was just...the keys are so light anyone would be making errors, the ergonomic keyboard (Microsoft) was...fine...I guess. I personally hate them. The basic Dell keyboards are white on black and really hard to see for people with low vision. Thats where the Dustsilver came in. Its $70. I got the red/white/blue and orange one (check their site, its still available). Its sold out on Amazon, I think because it was the best looking (their designs need some help). The keys have a huge font, the keycaps are black on white so you can see them in low light and theyre PBT. They also are quiet, without being silent, so there is sound feedback, but they arent thonky or clicky and they are VERY smooth. Basically if you need a keyboard for someone with bad vision and weak hands this keyboard is probably the best youre going to do at this price point. This thing is built like a tank...just make sure you get a wrist rest - its kind of tall/thick. Purists will reject this due to the optical switches, but I quite like them. I really like laptop and Apple Magic Keyboards, but for a keyboard with long travel, this thing is great. I just whish they made it in 65% or 75% - Id buy one in a second (I cant stand full size keyboards). Anyway, check out the dustsilver.com if you want one of these that isnt hideous.

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.

Switches came pre-lubed keycap set is solid quality, but the font is a little large came with extra switches to test which is a nice and welcome addition typing feels nice and responsive typed better with it than my old gaming keyboard (razer huntsman tkl) feels fast ingame

it is a nice, easy-to-set-up key board but my left arrow key is completely unresponsive. it isnt enough of a problem to go through the hassle of returning it but its made some games impossible to comfortably play

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.

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.

Ive been using this for a while now and its perfect for my needs. I use my computer hooked up to my tv and this is a great high quality wireless solution for my setup. The keys feel amazing. The RGB looks really cool and is individually addressable. And the color scheme of the whole keyboard is just so cool! I recommend this one with a big thumbs up!

Thank you Amazon and Aramex for hassle free and early shipping fulfillment. Keebs is great!

Its so quiet and I could really eat this thing looks like gum awesome decoration

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.
