> 3 dayUpdate 3/7/2020 This keyboard is just too damn loud. I tried multiple different switches, I tried O-rings, but the steel plate in it sounds almost hollow on every keypress, which leads to a pinging sound, especially in the middle of the board. For a budget keyboard, this is still a fine machine. It has hot swappable switches, so you can figure out what you like typing on most before moving onto something bigger and better. For a daily driver keyboard, Im going to have to change my review and say that this isnt a good idea. The volume alone will leave anyone else in the room with you kinda wanting to cut off your fingers so you cant type anymore. I ended up returning this board and went with the Anne Pro 2. The switches I got were still clicky and not terribly quiet at all, but compared to this board its dead silent. Original review below: ----------- I had been looking for a 60% keyboard for a while, but didnt want to spend $100+ on one without knowing in the long run if Id like it or not. Im a programmer, and am used to full boards, but since I do less programming at home and more gaming, I wanted a board that would give me back some desk space so my mouse could travel farther without having to pick it up/worry about the edge of my desk. This keyboard definitely meets that need, while being aesthetically stylish and feeling very responsive. The board its self is a nice 61-key compact keyboard. This means no F1-F12 keys, no arrow keys, no Home/Insert/Delete/Print Screen keys, and no ten key. The footprint it leaves on your desk is as small as it possibly can be without sacrificing basic needs in a keyboard and its very pleasing because of it. Im no longer hitting the edge of my keyboard with my mouse while playing games, wishing that certain parts of it werent there because it was just in the way. Build-wise the board is mostly plastic with a steel panel inside to keep things in-line. I bought the version with black switches as I had never used them before and wanted something different. They function similar to reds, with a bit more of a satisfying feel to them. I find typing on them to be quick and accurate, unless I fat finger a key. But thats on me. The switches are also hot swappable, and the keyboard comes with a metal switch removal key, so anything you need to remove the switches is available to you on purchase. You just need different switches to replace yours with. The RGB in this board is acceptable. When the stock keys are on it, you dont notice any issues and everything looks great. If you change the keycaps to something white, youll notice some color bleed if you have the wrong color set. When I changed my keycaps I had the backlight set to white so as to not really overpower the new caps, but the white light had some red shining through, and it was very noticeable. Changing this to a light blue fixed the issue as the red LED was no longer being used, but just know that when switching keycaps it might be in your best interest to turn backlighting off altogether. YMMV from keeping the lights turned on. The software to control the lighting, functions, and macros is awful. Its counter-intuitive and doesnt exactly have a user guide to go along with it. The download page is entirely in Chinese except for the version number, and while the software its self runs in English, it might as well not because youll have no clue what half of it is talking about. A 3 minute YouTube video made by someone not affiliated with the company helped me a little, then the rest was figured out with about an hour of tinkering. Once I had it set the way I wanted for the function keys and backlighting, I uninstalled the software. Not because I didnt trust it, but because I doubt Ill ever use it again unless I absolutely have to. Its easy enough to find as it seems as though quite a few people have bought this board recently, so the link is out there. Keycaps are easy enough to change on this keyboard. It uses Gateron optical switches so any standard cap that works with a Cherry switch should work. Overall, aside from the software and the RGB, Id say this is a great keyboard and would recommend it. Turning the lighting off is easy enough, and then you wont even have to install the software at all, so it becomes quite painless. At least for the moment its replaced my Logitech G810 as my daily driver, and I can see it being in this spot for quite a while.

> 3 dayIt’s not high quality.It just covers the keyboard so you won’t get crumbs or stuff in your keyboard.That’s all it does.

> 3 dayAt first, it worked wonderfully; granted the new spacing took some time adjusting, but beyond that, the keyboard worked and sounded great. But just one month in (unfortunately RIGHT after the return period was up), the p-key stopped working. Either it wouldn’t write the letter at all or it spammed it—you never really know which one you were going to get. Regardless it was so annoying having to copy and paste that letter each time I wanted to use it so now the keyboard’s just collecting dust, real ironic considering it was basically brand new. I am extremely disappointed by this defective situation. The only thing abstaining me from a single star is that it at least worked well for a little while…

> 3 dayExcellent for the price, better than expected and so cute! Im definitely happy with their keyboard and I will be using it all the time. It was nice of them to include a keycap puller as well since I was planning on doing some customization!

> 3 dayIf you are new to mechanical keyboards, like I am, I would suggest asking yourself a couple questions before buying. For example, my main problem with this keyboard and why I am returning it is because they have no dedicated arrow keys. Actually, I knew they didnt, but I thought they would at least give you the option to toggle the fn key for your arrow keys. Its a great keyboard over all, and if you want something cheap, rgb, and you dont really use the arrow keys, then this one is a good buy

> 3 dayI bought this keyboard and a few others. This is the same as the Asceny One, The Anne Pro 2 but without wifi, and a few others all on Amazon. This brand didnt try to mask the label. I was going to build a keyboard with the same switches. and a similar PCB and it would have cost me 4 times more. I am super happy with the browns. I have Cherry Reds at work and they are way too sensitive. I constantly mistype. I brought the reds home one day to try gaming and it didnt feel right. The browns are the perfect blend for gaming and typing. I did try some blues, but my wife vetoed it almost instantly. Way too loud. This is a 60% keyboard. I do sometimes wish I had real arrow keys and functions keys, but I love the same form factor on my desk. The light effects out of the box are enough for me. I have no desire to download the software. I have enough RGB control crap on my PC as it is. For the money you cannot go wrong. The switches are replaceable so even if one dies I can buy a pack for a few bucks. The Base it solid. No flex. The keys do have a little side by side play, but so does my $150 Corsair at work. This is a great bang for the buck, Down the road I may still build my own, but for now this is worth every penny and I love it. I did install the corsair WASD rubber keys on this board and they look decent on it.
