Greater than one weekDidnt know what to expect ordering this keyboard, after seeing the large variety of 60%/ similar looking keyboards for sale. But this one truly, truly feels worth the price. Absolutely beautiful RGB LED backlighting, small size and lightweight, and tested 100% compatible with our extra Cherry MX style replacement keycaps. Lighting effects are fun and all the main effects are there, FN hot keys work and its easy to remember the important ones you use often. Unlike most of the other small 60% size boards missing the F keys, having them with this board is really great, and doesnt add much to the overall size whatsoever! Great keyboard, and if it stays around this price I might purchase another for work!

> 3 dayI got each of my daughters, 10 and 12 one of these white red-key RGB keyboards for their laptops, playing Roblox. What a hit that was! Probably the best happiness for the dollar of all Christmas gifts. Multiple modes that change colors and the ability to adjust speed and brightness without a driver. Base feels very solid with a thick aluminum plate under the keys to reflect the light. Only problem is now my girls want external mice as the laptop track pad is not inconvenient, but that has nothing to do with this keyboard. The keys have a slight clicking but I was going for silent. Im new to these gaming keyboards and didnt want them to be annoying on Zoom calls and such. Maybe there arent silent RGB keyboards?

> 3 dayI really like budget boards that are actually quality made & performed. I picked this up in brown switches to replace my dierya dk63 that i’ve had for some time. Less than a month in, the WASD keys wouldn’t register Half the time and it was very obvious when gaming and typing. Good thing the board is hot swappable and provided extra switches but i don’t have much faith in the key switches’ lifespan. Also the stabilizers for the left shift key was rough. Very rough. It made my pinky cramp to the point where i switched back to the DK63 Even though my DK63 doesn’t have much life left. You could lube the stabilizers but at that point, id recommend looking into another board. (Unless you dont mind) Also the usb c port is kind of hard to put in and out and will only fit a certain type of usb c if you Plan on using another usb c cord. I was satisfied at first but the cons heavily outweighed the pros for me personally. In a very short time pf using. Im currently waiting for my Ducky Miya Pro so i’m excited to give away or sell this KB. Go for the DK63 or any other board

> 3 dayNice to type on and frees up a lot of space for my desk! Blue switches are nice and clicky but Id have to say it feels very different from cherry blues. Docked off one star because I didnt like how the original keys felt/sounded. I had to change the key caps to something better to my liking. Otherwise it is a great little keyboard with decent lighting styles and typing experience :) Update: after using this keyboard for a while, I do notice there is a bit of an input lag while typing/playing games. Which is odd to me since this a wired keyboard. :/ So if speed of input is important to you, I would advise AGAINST purchasing this keyboard. The lag is very noticeable, especially for games that require instantaneous inputs

> 3 dayGreat keyboard while it works. Switches not so great. Ive had it for exactly 6 months now and I type on the daily for work. Ive used up all of the extra switches that came with the board on different keys and now two more switches have gone out and Im left having to buy a new keyboard or go through the hassle of buying new switches and replacing them all.

> 3 dayReally needed a white keyboard to go with my new set-up while also wanteing to downsize, and boy this thing is great. Love the routing channels for the cord, love the feel of it, and the lighting looks wonderful. Only have a few dislikes. First, I cant seem to find a mode to just set a solid color. Second, the keys seem just a little loud (I went with the brown switches), but they still arent quite as loud as blues I suppose. Ill probably just spend a few bucks on some o-rings to fix this. ALSO, BIG PLUS is the lack of branding on the keyboard. They avoided slapping logos all over it in gaps or on the top. The only logo is a small one on the space bar that is actually kind of cool.

> 3 dayIf you are buying this keyboard for cheap 75% clicky-key action and some nice RGB, this is a good choice--4/5 stars. Solid plate, small form factor, thin bezel--just a nice board. Be warned, youre buying into some serious click here; of clicky switches, outemu blues are considered louder than their Cherry or Gateron counterparts. Some may be disappointed by the lack of so-many-million color shades, or such-and-such color option, but for half the price of a typical 75% keyboard this seems alright. However, I bought this to change out the switches--like it advertised. Since this is a DIY board with no soldering, my ergo clears should plug in, right? Ah, no. Not quite. Two big issues: First, about 15 of the original outemu blue switches were solidly stuck into the board. No soldering, but there was a weak glue holding some of them in. After breaking through the switches housings from pulling so hard, I opened up the case. Careful prying with a tiny screwdriver managed to bust them out of the pcb. Second: the copper posts on the Cherry switches are too big for the holes on the pcb. Outemu switches should be fine--just plug in with no problem. To get my Cherry switches to fit, I grabbed a nail file and filed every.single.switch. After 4 hours filing all the copper posts to skinner versions of themselves, the Cherry switches could fit. But after all that, I managed to get my 75% keyboard with ergo clears and the neat semiotic standard keycaps from SP. To recap: if you want a very clicky and affordable keyboard, this is a strong contender. If you want to change out switches, you are in for some extra work.

Greater than one weekThe feel of the keyboard is amazing and clicky sound isnt too loud on the brown switch version! It could still be an annoyance to other people in the room though so keep this in mind lol. The small size lets me take anywhere i want and it fits on my desk giving me lots of space for my mouse. My only complaint is that i cant control the color on the static color mode. The instructions say that FN + f- or f+ should change between the sever preset colors but nothing changes. The command however does speed up the effects on the other keyboard options. None the less amazing keyboard for the price and fits all the needs i had!

> 3 dayDope keyboard, a lot of colors, sounds nice, a lot of features, easy to use, etc. Price to performance is solid, there arent really anything bad about it. However, after just using it casually for 4 months, my d key is already kind of broken. Im sure it wont be the same for everyone, but the quality definitely makes me question now. I used to have a cheaper keyboard, now has one or two broken keys, but I used it for over 2-3 years. Quite unfortunate I only got to use this for 4 months and I didnt purchase a warranty.
