> 3 dayOnly been using this keyboard for a couple of days now, but I love it. Im terrible at writing reviews, but for anyone interested in buying a new keyboard, this one is great. Its so much more smaller than my original standard keyboard, so theres way more extra space on my desk. Its much easier on my fingers and wrists, and the smaller size helps with gaming as I have small hands, and a regular keyboard made PC gaming suck. The back light is really cool. Its such a neat feature, I just keep it on to marvel at it sometimes. This keyboard is absolutely worth buying!

Greater than one weekThis 82 key 75% keyboard is, imo, a nice little piece of gear. I replaced a Blackwidow Ultimate with this, and am so far really happy with it. Ive got an RGB mobo and case fans, and while I dont have them strobing all over the place, its nice to change my color scheme to suit my mood or game Im playing. Im not so into keyboards that I need specific keypads or switches. This is nice and clicky, and can function just fine as a tiny form factor board with no lighting, subtle accents, or a vomit of rainbows. The pre-made modes are nice without drivers, but the software makes it really cool to make your own profiles. The software is in mandarin, but its fairly easy to figure out. It would also make a great travel board. It is fairly loud, but thats what I wanted. Im sure those with Filcos or Topres will look down on this as a cheap gimmick board, but its really just as functional, for me, at a fraction of the price. As always, try it and send it back to Amazon if you dont like it! One thing to note: 5-7 day shipping for this is actually a dollar more expensive than a month of PRIME, so its a better deal to just get prime and get it faster.

> 3 dayPros/Cons and TL:DR at the bottom. I got this for my boyfriend since he prefers keyboards where the F keys and number keys are close together or lined up, easier on his hands for long gaming sessions. Shiny lights, black switches he likes, seems like a nice price... Awesome, right? Until we plugged it in and tried to use the software suggested by the company in the Q&A right here on Amazon (Since nothing came with it except a two page poorly translated list of key commands to change the design of the lights). The program wouldnt recognize the keyboard, so we decided to try and restart to see if that would help. The PC got laggy, very slow startup only to not boot windows. Okay. Not panicking. turned it off, let it sit a bit, got it started up properly the second try. Still slow. Ran a virus scan, all clear. Checked the software again, still not recognizing the keyboard. **After a few hours of googling and searching, we came across a reddit post saying that some of these keyboards are NOT COMPATIBLE with the software. The way to tell which keyboards are compatible is to check under the spacebar (checking the color of the PCB) if it is BLACK, it is compatible. If it is orange or another color, it is NOT COMPATIBLE with the lighting software and uses a different firmware. We got a keyboard with a orange PCB. This is why you buy Razor or another name-brand option.. You get what you pay for, so to speak. Why are these keyboards being sold when they arent even compatible with the software to customize them?** I have nothing against foreign made products, but this software problem is garbage. This keyboard has the logo to the RIGHT on the space bar, NOT directly under the middle mark, so it could be a knockoff like other reviews were warning of, but I cant really confirm that as this is the only one weve purchased. The keyboard itself feels solid, the keys feel like proper black switch keys, I like the compact design. Its a good keyboard without the light problem. Pros: -The keys feel good to click, exactly what Black switches should feel like. -The weight of the keyboard is nice. Solid enough for consistent desktop use, also light enough with a compact size to travel with for infrequent traveling. -The design is nice for smaller hands/not getting fatigue during long sessions on games. -The keyboard appears brightly lit with the basic green color it came with. -It came with a brush to clean the keyboard with and a little keycap remover. Cons: -The software suggested for use to change the colors on the keyboard is not compatible with the keyboard sent to us.. Kind of defeats the purpose. -You can only filter through 8 basic colors and a handful of styles like breathing lights or flickering etc without the use of an external software downloaded, and it still may not be compatible. -No instructions other than a poorly translated 2 page booklet on how to cycle through the pre-loaded colors. TL:DR The keyboard is a solid keyboard for the price point if you dont want the custom lights. If you are fine with basic blue, red, green etc and dont plan on using the software to customize the lights, buy this and give it a shot. Good keys, sturdy feel, but the keyboard not being compatible with the lights software is a deal breaker for us and we will be returning it.

> 3 dayThe compact design of the keyboard is most appealing to me, can be slipped into the laptop bag easily, and the 82 keys are not short of the dedicated delete, pgup, pgdn keys; you can adjust to the layout pretty quickly. Experience on the key travels is very comfortable, and the backlighting is a good plus. Recommend.

> 3 dayIm writing this review on this very keyboard. Im very pleased with the product overall. The build quality is solid, and the switches feel high quality. The Zorro Black Switches are a little heavier than the Cherry MX Reds, and they feel a little more springy, but they feel amazing for gaming. The keyboard comes with a very respectable amount of preset lighting modes, with the option of downloading separate drivers and software to customize the RGB lights even further to your liking. Ive done quite a bit of gaming already on this keyboard and it feels superb. What makes it even better is the price tag. Im liking it so much I might buy a second unit with Blue Switches just for typing. In the box youll get another nicer box, in which the keyboard is contained with softfoam to protect while shipping, a plastic ring keycap puller, a softbrush to keep your keyboard clean from dust, and instructions. Before making this purchase I made a lot of research, and out of all my options the AK33 won because of its aesthetics, detachable cable, inclusion of function keys and media functionality, floating key design and its aluminium plating. I absolutely recommend this keyboard. Its small form factor makes any desk a lot less cluttered, and allows gamers more space for using their mouse. If theres anything I really didnt like about it was the glossy plastic used at the bottom, but that is not normally visible so its not a dealbreaker.

Greater than one week* Summary: Great quality *for the price*. Feels solid and looks nice. RGB is bright enough. Keycaps are replaceable. The way its cut makes it really easy to keep clean. * Two things to ding about quality: 1) Inconsistent activation force for switches. Id say the tolerances on their blues are a bit wider. 2) Wiggley keys! This bugs me a lot actually. The keys are slightly more loose laterally than Im used to. In general the switches theyre using feel like the switches that are in my old Razer BlackWidow. * One thing about feel: This is a sharp keyboard. the keycaps have tight radius corners and the lack of a tray means your thumbs often touch the aluminum under-plate.

> 3 dayThis keyboard is amazing with only like 2 downsides. 1 would be that the bottoms is a glossy plastic so it’ll get fingerprints really easily. The second would be the switches. Now the switches feel like blues and sound like blues and look like blues. (Talking about cherry mx blues) now the only problem is that whenever you click one of the buttons hard or fast, when it goes back up it sound like a spring and it’ll echo throughout the aluminum. It’s pretty noticeable. If you click them soft and easily then it won’t make that sound. It’s just whenever you click one of the keys hard or fast. Other than those two things the keyboard is amazing. The rgb is amazing. If you want it’s full potential though you’re going to need the software. The software allows you to change the color to whatever color you can think of. The keyboard has a few presets but the software has about 5-10 more presets. So keep that in mind that if you are getting it for rgb then you’re going to need the software. The lights are pretty bright so don’t need to worry there. The aluminum plate where the keys sit on is a great touch. It reflects the light way better than most materials and it’s more durable. It does have retractable stands that have rubber in the bottom so it won’t move. The Keys are fast in response due to the mechanical keys and they do a good job and sound like the real deal. All in all I think this is an amazing keyboard and I would recommend it to anyone thinking about gaming and even working at an office due to its small form factor.

> 3 dayThis is one of best mechanical KBs Ive ever used in years. That is saying something. Ive owned everything from AZIO, TTEsports, and Corsair. These are just as good quality IMO. Without the expense. Awesome led built in light shows that will make you say why the .... did I buy that K70? Love this thing and if they will make me an all white RGB version I will go completely nuts, to match my Black/White color scheme. You can palm this thing like a basketball, which Im very sure anyone who is reading this was never able to do....hehehe. Yeah SURE YOU WERE.......NERD, Like you played sports in school. Anyway. Great KB AJAZZ.

> 3 dayThis compact keyboard is amazing. The light show is soothing and really cool to watch when you arent using the computer. The keys respond beautifully to just the right amount of pressure. The only thing to keep in mind is that this keyboard is really loud. I wouldnt consider using this in a cubicle or if your spouse is planning sleeping while you work. Other than that, its perfect if you want a keyboard with very little desk real estate taken. Just remember there is no numeric pad to the side, so its not for everyone.

> 3 dayI got this keyboard sort of as a place holder until I decided to get a $100+ keyboard. Once I received it and started using it my mind changed. Of course, since this is my first real mechanical keyboard I dont even really know what to expect. This thing feels really great though. I got the black switches and this is my first time trying any mechanical key and I love it. It feels WAY better than any of the chiclet keys I have used in the past and it sounds much more satisfying. The black keys arent too loud and they sound pleasant. They dont sound all clicky and obnoxious like the blue keys at all and thats kind of why I wanted them. I also enjoy the straight down button presses. I cant believe Ive been missing out on mechanical keyboards all my life. I should have bought one since I got my first computer because it really makes using your computer way more fun to use. It seriously improves the gaming and typing experience. And only for $40. I probably wont be getting anything more expensive until this thing just breaks or something because the AK33 is actually a pretty good keyboard IMO. Its nice when you buy inexpensive things and they turn out to be really good value. The only thing I have noticed I dont like so far is I sometimes hit PgUp key when trying to backspace. I think thats more of a me problem though. Something I will have to get used to with time. Im used to the backspace being on the very edge, but on this layout, you have Home, PgUp, PgDn, End on the very edge. Really good keyboard. Nothing wrong with it from what I can tell in my few days of using it. I totally recommend the black switches. They feel great on this guy.
