> 3 dayKick ass keyboard, still find myself going back to my K70, but i got this because of the small size and the blue switches. Its really nice for when i play with friends and have my headphones on, i can feel for sure when i press a button and i know that it happened, so in diablo 3 i stay alive more, and in mmos and rpgs i like that i can feel the click of what im activating. However, when i use my stereo and not headphones, is when i use the k70, cause i have cherry MX red switches, and they are a lot more quiet, and work better for cs go, cod zombies, and pretty much anything that is a shooter. If you want similar to the reds, just get the black switches on this keyboard and it will feel similar to speed keys.

> 3 dayI very much like this keyboard. I was looking for a compact one that was inexpensive, and this fit the Bill. The only marks against would be the smaller right shift key, but after just a couple hours of typing with it it’s hardly an issue. I’ve had mine for close to 4 months now and have no issues with it keeping up.

> 3 dayBest mechanical keyboard Ive had. The blue switches feel exactly like cherry, and there is no stickiness or cheap feeling. The space bar is supported so it registers no matter where you press it which is a common problem for this price range. The RGB leds have different modes, like a wave effect, solid colors, or raining effect, and can be changed to different colors in each mode. I would have given this 4 stars due to its manual being in an unfamiliar language, but the key caps gave such clear instructions that it didnt matter. Thank you so much for a near perfect keyboard!

> 3 dayThis keyboard is amazing. Individually backlit keys, beautiful sounding and feeling switches (black) and small form factor. Would recommend if youre just barely hopping in on the mechanical keyboard RGB train. If I had to pick something I dont like, its that it feels too lite and therefore cheap, and the shiny back plastic. But thats really it, other than that, very nice for a first choice on a budget

> 3 dayThe overall presentation and value of the package are outstanding. I own keyboards ranging from the K95 MX Speed to random generic keyboards Ive had for years. Im quite happy I discovered this brand and these keyboards have exceptional build quality. I really enjoy these for both gaming and typing, which I didnt expect I would as much for the cost. This is the best value option Ive encountered in years and great as a primary or spare keyboard. You have everything you need with this package and theres more included than most other brands would offer. The cable is also detachable and the build is very solid, with little to no keyboard flex existing. Im very happy with this purchase and will remember this brand for future purchases.

> 3 dayExtremely good keyboard, at an incredible price! Good things about this keyboard that come to mind: -No wasted space, keys everywhere -Keys & switches are very good - tactile and very responsive -Detachable cable so when you need to carry it, you can pack the cable and keyboard separately -True RGB backlighting with modes like reactive touch (the key you press illuminates) and it is customizable. -No software required for backlight, fully managed by onboard controller (this means no drivers and works w/any OS). -Comes in a cool box and very well packaged Some things to be aware of: -The right shift key (smaller) takes some getting used to, but I think its worth it to have arrow keys on such a compact keyboard. -The instructions on how to control backlighting are unclear in the manual, but found that here on Amazon so it wasnt a problem. Ill summarize my findings below to make it easy for whoever reads this. To customize the backlight, first hold down the FN key. With FN key held down: - Up/Down arrows to control backlight brightness - Left/Right arrows to control color -Tilde (~) key to go into individual key customization mode (caps lock button will start flashing). In this mode, press individual keys (and their color will change with each press) until they are your desired color. Then FN+Tilde will save that config and that will be what you get when you press FN+Tilde again. (Pressing twice will trigger customization mode) - F8 to cycle through different modes (there are a lot and some are dynamic and affected by your typing speed for example).

> 3 dayI bought an AK33 back in 2019 and loved it, being an affordable keyboard that is both sturdily built and feels nice to use. Ive since given it away and decided to buy another one as a replacement in 2021. However, this keyboard does not feel like the same one I bought back in 2019. The keycaps have changed from a generic font looking ones to a set that is very common on other budget mechanical keyboards. As a result, the keycaps have too much of a texture and dont feel as smooth, the number keys row is much higher than the other rows, and the spacebar wobbles too much now. Furthermore, they have changed the black switch to something that feels very different, much quieter, mushier, and slightly heavier to press down on than the older black switches. Yet on the store page, there is no indication or pictures that clarify that they had changed the keycaps or switches, leading to misleading images. Please update with new images so as not to mislead potential buyers.

> 3 dayThe RGB version of this keyboard is first and foremost beautiful. Its the best looking keyboard there is, except for the cheap glossy plastic bottom casing that is. Why do I say this keyboard is just okay? Well the typing experience is unfortunately very mushy, with key activation long before you fully depress the key and uneven resistance for different keys. I would have preferred greatly this keyboard with a switch that gave some physical and audible response when the key registered a press like my comparable Zhuque mechanical keyboard that is in the same price and size class as the AK33 and has much better build quality. But the truth is, I dont want to use the Zhuque over the Ajazz, the problem is I feel I have too because its simply a better keyboard, though unfortunately its not nearly as fun or attractive. The AK33 has the most beautiful LED implementation of any keyboard Ive ever seen. This kind of RGB spectrum is not something you get at this price range and is certainly not what I get with the Zhuque. Comparable keyboards have fixed LED lighting schemes per key or row of keys while the AK33 is a beautiful lighting display of animated colors. What would make this the ultimate keyboard for me? First the switches. Zorro switches are mushy and unresponsive, whereas the blue switches in my Zhuque are clicky and springy. Second the quality of the keycaps and the casing. Ditch the cheap plastic in favor of brushed aluminum and more textured, heavier keys. When my board arrived, I found loose keys in the box and that is because these are very loosely fitted to the switches and can be pulled off with ease, could be improved. Last the right shift button is awkwardly small, leaving you prone to miss pressing when typing. If these issues were fixed Id give it a 5 out of 5. As it stands Im going to use my Zhuque and mod the AK33 into light display art for my desk. **EDIT** After some time Ive switched from the Zhuque to using the Ajazz. As you can see in the photos, Ive gone through the modding process, spending 20 hours meticulously sanding the top layer of paint off of each key on the keyboard allowing the light to come through the tops. Its beautiful and its more than just a keyboard, it is a centerpiece, its an art display. Yes this does make typing harder, because I assume like most I have memorized typing through muscle memory but would struggle to point at each key and tell you the key its for. What makes this keyboard hardest to type on is the tiny right hand shift key and I find myself pressing all the wrong keys trying to use it for symbols such as (:?}{><) That is not to say I cannot type on it, I consistently got over 100 wpm on type racer today and a high of 128 wpm. I think if you want a cool keyboard that isnt the most practical keyboard, buy the Ajazz and mod it to make the most of its RGB lighting because it is hands down the best you can find anywhere.

> 3 dayPretty cool for what it is. The RGB works out of the box; fn + f8 lets you swap RGB modes. Im not entirely used to the 82 key layout but it is SLICK. The switches are not entirely obnoxious, but I may switch out the key caps and stabilizers to something more soft and quiet.
