Greater than one weekI bought this just as a home for some extra keycaps I own, and it s so good of a keyboard that those caps and this board are now part of my regular rotation. Im using it right now to write this, actually. Keep in mind that the ones in the pictures have aftermarket keycaps. They cost more than the board; this thing is so inexpensive. And I mean inexpensive, not cheap. This is a quality product. I dont know what it is going for when you are reading this, but at the time of writing, you can buy two for the price of most decent 65s, but this one has 3-way Bluetooth, 2.4ghz wireless, and its programmable. Of course, you can also plug it in with a USB-C connection, though it is picky because of an entirely unnecessarily recessed port. In my opinion, this is the only questionable decision made by this board. Would I recommend this to a friend? Listen, I liked it so much that I bought another one to try out switches and keycaps without breaking down the boards I am using for school and work because the first one ended up being my main programming keyboard.

> 3 dayIve been building keyboards for a few years now, and Ive found its often very economical to buy a cheap mechanical keyboard, take it apart, install my own switches and keycaps, and sometimes even my own 3d printed case, or a case meant for a more expensive setup. Anyway, I had the same plans for this board when I purchased it. after taking it out of the box, I could tell the switches were the typical cheap switches that normally come with these boards, so I immediately removed them and through them in the trash. I put in some of my own lubed linear switches, and it totally transformed the feel and most importantly, the SOUND of this board. the board uses plate mounted stabilizers, but they are actually very good to my surprise! I added a little dielectric grease to them, and they now sound like some of my premium screw-in stabs I have in more expensive keyboards. I mean, there is no rattle at all! So I decided to keep this one the way it is for now. The case does sound a little hollow, but I think I can put some sound damping material in the bottom to improve that. but as it sits, this is a great keyboard in its price range.

> 3 dayGreat little 65% wireless keyboard. I was hoping for more battery life but chargi g every other day isnt the worst considering the price. The rgb is over the top but easy to turn off (that is probably the fastest battery killer). Awesome little gaming keyboard for the money with little to no lag on the 2.4 receiver. BT had some lag but that is part of BT, it works with my phone for responding to emails/texts.

Greater than one weekit is almost a perfect keybroad but, it comes with jixian switches which ruins the keybroad completely. I swap them with Akko Silver and new keycaps and now it is perfect

> 3 dayThis is an excellent keyboard with a plethora of connection options. This keyboard was tested under Windows 10/11 and Manjaro Linux and was detected and worked via cable and blue tooth in each. Sound is excellent and keycaps are smooth and pleasantly tactile. The included exchangeable keyboard frame and keycaps are also greatly appreciated. I highly recommend this keyboard.

> 3 dayBox contents: Keyboard, USB-A to USB-C cable, plastic keycap puller, metal switch puller, and two spare switches, and set of white keycaps. This is the first keyboard I’ve had with tactile mechanical switches. I found that I’m not a fan of tactile switches; I greatly prefer linear switches, but that’s an easy change since this keyboard is 3-pin and 5-pin hot-swappable. The switches are Jixian brown tactile switches. These seem half decent compared to the Jixian black linear switches that came on another keyboard I purchased, but I’m still not a fan of the tactile feel. This keyboard would still be better served with some better quality switches than the Jixian switches, even if you like tactile switches. The keyboard is a small 65% keyboard, and it’s fairly lightweight, but still pretty rigid. The plate is coated steel, and the top frame is held onto the plate magnetically. This keyboard is tri-mode, so it’s capable of being used wirelessly using either the dongle or Bluetooth, or it can be used plugged in with a USB-C cable. The button to switch modes is on the bottom of the keyboard. I tried each method without issue. On the back, there is a slot that magnetically retains the wireless dongle when it’s not being used, which is great for keeping track of your dongle. There a USB-C port for charging and for wired connection, and an on/off switch located on the back. On the bottom, there is a mode button with indicator lights to switch between wired, wireless, and Bluetooth. You can toggle between devices using Fn + Q, W, or E. Instructions on how to connect to Bluetooth in the manual were clearly stated and easy to follow. There is a layer of foam inside the keyboard. It’s not the noisiest out of the box, and I think the steel plate has something to do with that. The sound profile could certainly be further adjusted by changing the type of foam inside and lubricating the switches will also help. Since I prefer linear switches, I opted to change out the tactile switches for linear ones. I added o-rings to the keycaps, and the sound of the keyboard is a more dampened, closer to my liking. When you press Fn + Win to engage the Windows lock, it activates the Windows Start menu. It does still lock the Win key, so that you won’t accidently activate it while gaming, but you’ll have to close the menu after turning on the Win lock. Just a minor inconvenience. I’ve only encountered this anomaly on one other keyboard, which is incredibly similar to the KLIM Shift. They probably share a common PCB, among other things. For what you get for the price, this is a pretty good keyboard. With the second set of keycaps, the easily removable top frame, and a hot-swappable PCB, this board is worth the money if you’re in the market for a 65% keyboard. It’s certainly a great platform if you plan to modify it.

> 3 dayI love the deal for this keyboard! It has two sets of keycaps that I can easily customize my keyboard. I was looking for a good mechanical keyboard for a long time but once I saw this one I knew it was going to be good. The only flaw is that the springs need oiling besides that its great.

> 3 dayI know the key switches aren’t the greatest, but I personally enjoy this keyboard. I haven’t switched away from it because it’s wireless and it has never stuttered on me. It’s battery life isn’t mind blowing; it’s rather short but it does have rgb lights all the time for me. I’ve bought pudding keycaps to replace with and I think they’re amazing on this super small keyboard!

> 3 dayI really like this keyboard just because of its customization. I have an Xbox and it was really hard to find a keyboard that I could customize on the fly. This keyboard has red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet and each of the colors are great and stand out but the colors are slightly off compared to other LED and RGB devices in my setup. The sound of the switches are great but they get louder the more you click them. The keyboard also supports up to three bluetooth devices that you can switch between on the fly. I like the vibrant RGB when using the white key caps. The key caps have a very nice texture as well. But there is a few things that I dont like and that could be improved. - Black key caps dont show RGB very well - key cap puller scrapes the keys when removed - do NOT use the switch puller EVER -keyboard doesnt support separate USB-C cords for charging
