> 3 dayGot this over the weekend and love it so far!! Bluetooth works great for my Macbook. I am not be too great at reading through instructions, so it did take me a while to figure out how to setup the pairing in the mini manual they provide. Just in case this might help for others, Ill leave it here. These are primarily for standard/office use functions and might not be applicable for gaming functions. Bluetooth Paring for Mac 1. Turn switch to ON position on back 2. Press Bluetooth Mode button on keyboard to ON (blue light should turn on) 3. Press FN + Q keys (Q=1st device; When you want to connect other devices, you can use W (2nd device) or E (3rd device)) 4. Press FN + P keys for 3 seconds to enter pairing mode 5. On your Mac, open bluetooth settings and connect. I also went to my System Preferences > Keyboard > Setup Bluetooth Keyboard to make sure it was recognized. Then, viola! Youre connected. Other adjustments: Using FN keys: Under System Preferences > Keyboard > Unclick Use F1, F2, etc. keys as standard function keys. When its unclicked I can use most of the functions printed on the keys (from F3 to F12). When its clicked, the F keys do not work for me, even when I also press the Fn key. Modifier keys: Under System Preferences > Keyboard > select Modifier Keys... button > In Select Keyboard dropdown, select the AJAZZ keyboard > I adjusted my keys as listed below. I tend to use a lot of the apple command key shortcuts. This configuration works best for me. Caps Lock Key: Caps Lock Control Key: Command Option Key: No action Command Key: Option FN Key: FN function ---- Other thing I want to mention is that I definitely recommend a keyboard wrist rest pad for this keyboard. Most mechanical keyboards tend to be high, so this one is no exception.

> 3 dayMy first hot-swappable keyboard! This set came with the keyboard (and it’s corresponding wire/colored keycaps), a keycap puller, a switch puller, and a few extra switches (reds, blue, browns). The switches were really easy to pull up and pop out, and I’ve included a picture of what the board looks like underneath. I got the red switch, but I’m thinking of changing them to something else. The keyboard types great out of the box, and has many different rgb variations. Most of them are color changing, imo it’s a bit too overwhelming to look at. They also have less flashy options, which is what I ended up choosing (the single light option comes in a rainbow of colors). You can adjust the LED brightness OR the volume with the wheel. The wheel was honestly why I got the keeb in the first place! It’s so handy. As for the red switches it came with, Im not really an expert or even a novice, I’ve literally only used brown ones (and found that out prior to purchasing this), but it types pretty nicely, with a nice sound. The backspace key makes a sharper click than the rest of the keys tho, Im not too sure why. It’s the only thing off that I noticed about the keyboard. Other than that, all the red switches have a consistent sound and feel, nothing feels too wobbly, and overall it feels nicely constructed. Although be wary, the port for the USB-C cable is indeed only snug enough for the cable it came with, I tried using my old Vortex cable and it did not go in. If you’re looking for a change of aesthetics, I’d double check the cable you’re buying. One thing is, I’m not sure how to fully program the keyboard as the instructions mostly tell you how to change the RGB, connect to devices, and key functions; but I’m not really big on programming keys anyway. Overall, I’d give this a 9/10! 1 point off for that random clicky key, and the fact that the cable port is tiny. I think I’m going to really enjoy using this, hopefully with some new switches!

Greater than one weekUnbelievably fast delivery to Israel. 84 hours from submitting the order to receiving the parcel from the delivery guy. It cant be true in Israel. But it is. They sent it by DHL from their storehouse in Germany. The keyboard is fantastic. Really. I am new to the mechanical keyboards world, this is my only second keeb. But thats how I feel now, after just a few hours of using it. May be later on I will find some problems, but at the moment this keeb seems to be perfect. It has Red Noname(?)/Hauno(?) switches on board, they give a great feel and hear combination. I have a tester with MX Cherry switches, I dont feel or hear any difference between MX Reds on the tester and those on my keeb. RGB lightening - amazing. Keycaps - great feeling, the legends are highlighted perfectly. I did not replace the original white keycaps to the colored ones which are included in the package. The legends on the colored keycaps are not highlighted though they look fancy. Bluetooth - connected easily to the laptop and to the Android phone. Bonus - super convenient buttons and roller controller just above the arrow keys. Price - fantastic. Hope I will be not change my mind after a few weeks of months of working with this keyboard. Edit: one month and counting. Still love this keyboard. I am very happy that I bought a bluetooth model. I often disconnect the keyboard from my main computer and take it with me when I work on the notebook in other rooms. So convenient.

> 3 dayThe keyboard has some heft to it and it feels like really nice quality. For an average consumer, I would say that this keyboard is overall nice! I think that the price is expensive but for what you are getting, I think its worth it.

> 3 dayIll start by saying that although I have typed on other mechanical keyboards. This is my first personal mechanical keyboard. After using this for about a week straight, about 4 to 8 hours a day, I can say that I am very happy with this keyboard. Ill list the pros and cons. Pros: - Bluetooth capability, I thought I wouldnt use this that much but thats all I ever really use unless I need it for gaming or to charge. You have the ability to connect 3 devices at the same time, including phones and tablets and switch between the devices in a matter of seconds. Also allows you to move the keyboard frequently and I often times put it on my lap while doing homework when my desk space is full. For regular keyboard use and typing, I see no latency or delay when typing. If there is, its so slight you cant notice it. - Battery, the battery with RBG lights on has lasted me about 5 days. Which I think is very good considering how much time I spend on the computer each day. The RBG lights turn off with 30 seconds of inactivity to save battery and turn back on when you press a key. It is claimed that the battery lasts 100 hours with the lights off, so Ive been using it during the day with the lights off now to see how much its life is extended. - Huano Switches, while they arent Cherry or Outemu, they perform really well. The stabilizers come factory lubed! - RBG Lights, this may not be important to everyone, but typing in the dark can be a real pain without it. The lights are very smooth and bright, and I have not noticed any sort of flickering from them. A lot of customization options with the lights as well. - Software, you can actually use the RAKK lam-ang pro software found online to customize this keyboard. It has features with the RGB lights and other things such as key reassign and macros. - Volume scroll wheel, again another feature that I thought was a neat addition but wouldnt use much. I was wrong, I use this scroll wheel all the time. Love that they added it and with a button press it can be switched to control the brightness of the keyboards RGB lights. Cons: - Switches, although the stabilizers are lubed, I notice there is a slight rattle. Not enough to make me go out of my way and make any modifications. At least not yet. - Ping, if you listen very very carefully and really slam a key press, you can hear a slight pinging noise. Again, you will never notice this unless you have super sonic hearing or really abuse your keyboard. - Extra Keycaps, I love this idea of having a set of colored keycaps for some extra customization. However, one of the control keys came cracked. I reached out to EPOMAKERs support team directly on their website with my amazon order number, and they refunded me 5% of my order cost (about $3.50). I thought this was fair for one keycap and they even sent me a confirmation that the refund was processed. They replied rather fast and it was a great experience. - Bluetooth, I have noticed that sometimes my bluetooth connection to my windows 10 laptop disconnects when I dont type for a while and then reconnects after a couple seconds. Not a big deal or anything to really gripe about. About once or twice, it has disconnected and did not reconnect until turning the keyboard off and back on again. - Not hot swappable, this was the main reason I was hesitant about getting this keyboard. I heard that soldered switches were more reliable and longer lasting, and the other features of this keyboard convinced me to take a chance and lock into the brown switches. Guess I always have the option of desoldering if I need to replace switches. Overall, I think that this keyboard is a really good deal for pricepoint. I wouldnt hesitate picking this one up. It has served me very well with heavy usage for a week straight.

Greater than one weekI am really enjoying this keyboard! I have ordered a few different ones to try out, and this was my favorite and the one I will be keeping. The TKL layout is not my preference - I am really missing my 10keys - but aside from that this is a great keyboard. (Coming from someone who is not a gamer, but works in a law office and types all day.) I like that it has a good weight to it and the keys feel really solid and well made. It does not feel cheap like others that I tested out. If they came out with a full size version, I would be in keyboard heaven.

> 3 dayGreat & unique lighted keyboard but wished it was wireless. My daughter loves it though because of the color changing effects! She raves about how pretty it is. She uses it for gaming & some schoolwork.

> 3 dayI previously purchased another keyboard which I subsequently returned just because the addition of the num pad made the keyboard too large. After receiving this one I was more than happy with it! The quality was better than I expected (the keyboard feels quite heavy and solid actually), the keys dont seem cheap and feel great to the touch. I got brown switches because personally I like the sound and the feel much more. The entire keyboard is solid white and backlit. Im not sure if it was supposed to come with different colors like I expected but I plan to get other keycaps to customize its appearance anyway. For its price, it seems like a great option for beginners like me!

> 3 dayKeyboard itself is pretty solid, and so are the keycaps. Switches are AJAZZ browns, and are good as well. However, note these - Wired mode - Wont work, despite reading the manual Accent keys arent doubleshot, or atleast they dont let the light shine through The USB-C port is too close to the bottom, and plugging the cable in is a mild headache
