> 3 dayAbsolutely love typing on this keyboard. This is under priced. It’s hot swappable, wired and wireless, has bluetooth 5.0 and 2.4ghz… What more could you want from a mechanical keyboard for only 37$? Amazing keyboard. It’s my first time using a mechanical keyboard. The size is perfect, the arrow keys still exist (unlike on 60%, this is a 65%) and the sound from the brown switches is amazing as well, not too loud and not too soft. My typing speed has increased. RGB and software work as they should, no fusses there You get white keycaps as an extra. Again, for 37$ you almost can’t believe that you get this many things in the package. Will be adding KLIM to one of my brands to watch out for, they make seriously great products.

> 3 dayAfter having tried a bunch of different mechanical keyboards I can say that for the money this is by far my favorite one. I wanted a Wireless (both BT and 2.4g) along with wired use for those times when its just easier to plug into the computer directly, I also wanted a good backlight that wasnt a set non changing RGB like some of the others in this price range tend to have so I could set it to blue when just typing and change it to RGB RAINBOW EXPLOSION MODE when it is gaming time or to show it off. I also wanted to have the ability to hot swap the key switches in it so I could pick the best switches or even combination of switches for me. These wants tend to lead to looking at things like firstblood and keychron keyboards that cost $60-200 for similar layout and features and mind you thats on sale prices so in the under $50 price range its always pick 2 of your three wanted features situation. BUT NOT WHITH THIS KEYBOARD! I didnt have to make the compromises that a 60% board has like lack of standalone arrow keys and lose of the DELETE button which can become a pain when trying to deal with anything in the BIOS at boot when its missing. I didnt HAVE to pick which switches I wanted to start like with a non hot swap keyboard. I am currently typing this on a KLIM with the switches swapped out for Gateron Blue clicky switches with glorious o rings under the white keycap set that comes with the board, a great experience typing and I can get about 5-8 WPM faster on monkey type with it than I can with my other keyboards. This is the one I have on my desk at work. I love the clickies I put in but they arent for everyone, I recommend getting a switch sample pack if you want to try a few different styles. I have another one of these boards with the stock brown switches installed in it that I hand lubed and then put a round keycap typewriter style keycaps on for my wifes gaming keyboard and she LOVES IT! but she didnt like the browns for the WASD keys when gaming but for all the others so just WASD are Black linear switches now.. THIS IS THE WONDER OF HOTSWAP! Now onto my third one of these keyboards, its basically stock out of the box minus swapping on the white keycaps that came with it and I can say that it is a great starting keyboard. This is going to be my board that stays with brown switches as my all around travel keyboard as it really is a greet all around board to start with and just does everything well. good for both gaming and typing. Then the 4th board, I just finished putting hand lubed Gateron Red switches into it last night and I am still seating the O-ring around the key stems (these arent needed but add a nice cushion at the bottom of the key stroke.) and as far as I can tell so far its VERY nice but the Red switch was a bit light for the space bar so I ended up installing a Black switch in it to give more support. And then the fifth board I literally just ordered is going to be a black switch board when I am done with it as I want to basically have the same keyboard with all the different switches I want to ty so I can be 100% sure I get what I want and when you look and compare it to something like a Ducky One SF keyboard at $150, a Keychron Q2 at $200 (wired at that ) or even the keychron K2/K6/K14 at $80-100 I can say that I have yet to see a single reason to switch up.. If you are looking for a great keyboard to start into the world of hot swap or just want a great typing keyboard for any and all situation GET THIS ONE. Dont be me and waste $$$$ trying everything you can just to find these later. Brand that I tried and are WORSE by far regardless of price. MambaSnake 84 key non hot swap (both blue and red switch versions), Ziyou Lang 87 key TKL non hotswap blue switch (cost more BTW and much worse), Ziyou wireless 60% keyboards with Reds, Blues and Brown switches non hotswap so I ended up with 3 of them, TEWELL 60% blue switch, Macgee 68 key 68% non hot swap, and E-YOOSO z-686 65% hotswapable WIRED 65% keyboard (like this one) but costs just as much and is wired only. Best part is the first of the KLIM boards I got was about #4 in my excursion into keyboards and no mater what I got or how I modded the others, I ALWAYS ended up back on the KLIM as it just worked every time no matter what I needed and the ability to have the 2.4G to my PC, BT1 to my laptop, BT2 to my phone BT3 top my tablet and not have ANY issues switching is just amazing. They are every kind enough to make a nice quality shortcut list that can be saved for later if you want to change the keycaps as must aftermarket keycaps wont have things like the function keys marked on the caps any more but it isnt really an issue as they are A) easy to remember and B) the list works well when you forget which key is bluetooth reset or the like. Seriously STOP SHOPPING AND BUY THIS BOARD!!!!!!!!

> 3 dayI had a great time modding this keyboard and making a it a thocky beast with some new swithes and some double shot pbt pudding keycaps. I love that this board was very affordable for being a hotswap and I appericiate them for how well thoughtout it is. I very grateful that modding it was very user friendly and the rgb effects are great plus. I decided to take the brown switches out and get some glorious pandas to replace them they sound really good and give a deep and rich sound to the experience of using the board. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants a cheap entry point to keyboard modding. Even if you dont feel like modding it, the board has a solid foundation and the option is there for you. I hope that this company is willing to make more boards like this and in a variety of size. Would love a one of these with a numpad.

> 3 dayHonestly the best mechanical keyboard I have found at this price that comes with this many features it comes with two sets of keycaps, one in white and the other in black which is great for customization. The board is also hot-swappable with any 5-pin or 3-pin switches and comes with software to change the RGB modes. It also comes with a USB dongle for wireless mode but can also be used with Bluetooth and USB C cable for wired use if thats whats you prefer. The most surprising feature for me was the plate foam they use which was a nice touch to prevent the board from sounding hollow. This board is a hidden gem and I cannot recommend it enough.

> 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

Greater than one weekMy son got a gaming computer and wanted to get a cool keyboard to go with it, and we got him this one. Ive got to be honest and say that I am perfectly fine with a normal keyboard and dont know much about modding keyboards. But he is into it, and he said this keyboard is awesome for modding. He said it is easy to swap out the keycaps using the included puller. There is also a frame you can remove depending on preference. The RGB works just fine and has plenty of different modes. The keyboard feels like it is pretty good quality and like it should last. It comes with a 5 year warranty, so it sure seems like it will last a while. The software was easy to set up and use. Overall my son is very happy with this keyboard and Id feel comfortable using it myself. It seems to be priced well for what you get. This is a keyboard I would recommend.

> 3 dayIll be honest. Ive sort of avoided KLIM for awhile. As far as budget mechanical keyboards go, I had heard some good things, but I was never a fan of the look of many of their keyboards. Then, I saw this keyboard and figured Id give it a go. Not only am I impressed with the looks of this mechanical keyboard, but I am impressed with just about every feature so far. It punches way above its weight class in price and ticks all the right boxes when looking for a good budget (or any) mechanical keyboard. Here are some obligatory bullet points. WHAT I LIKE: -Hefty build. For an all-plastic keyboard, this is the heaviest I have had so far. -Great switches. I imagine these are KLIMs own switches and they feel very nice. The brown switches have the patented tactile bump but are still much quieter than blue, clicky switches. The key travel is nice and actuation is balanced and consistent across all keys -Very customizable: This keyboard comes with all-white keycaps, which gives you the ability to replace all or just a portion of the black keycaps with white ones. For example, you can just replace the most-used keys (for example WASD for gaming) with white keys. The keyboard also comes with a nice keycap remover and switch remover, and the base is removable. -Even the USB-A to USB-C cable included is a nice cable. Its pretty thick and fairly long (maybe 5 feet). -Good lighting features and the LEDs are diffused and hidden quite well. Ive used many cheaper mechanical keyboard in which you can see the actual LEDs from just about every angle. I tried to actually see them with this keyboard, but couldnt. The lighting is done well. And another positive is that it has a static color mode. I dont know why this feature seems to be missing from so many mechanical/gaming keyboards Ive used, but its a nice touch. And this KLIM keyboard has it. -Latency seems low, though I havent actually measured it and the battery has lasted several hours for me so far. The battery is rated at 2000mAh and charges in about 3-4 hours. WHAT COULD BE IMPROVED -Quick guide. You know the guy who never read directions right away? Yeah, Im that guy. But, hey, if you give me a quick guide, thats what Im using. The problem is it lists the buttons to use for Bluetooth, which I always prefer over a USB-port thieving dongle, but doesnt mention the fact that you have to turn the keyboard over and switch it manually to Bluetooth mode, which brings me to bullet No. 2 ... -Bluetooth: You have to manually switch between 2.4GHz and Bluetooth mode. Ive seen this many times on cheaper devices, and this is technically a budget keyboard, but still, it would be nice if the Bluetooth button was smart enough to automatically switch it to Bluetooth mode. I dont understand it. If it knows I want to use Bluetooth, why cant it just automatically switch? -And, finally: spring ping. Its that echo you get after lifting the keycap after every stroke. Ive only really noticed this in cheaper mechanical keyboards, and this one has it pretty bad. Its not as bad as some others Ive used, but its quite noticeable. -The off switch does not work while charging. If -- like me -- you use a portable charger to charge your battery while using Bluetooth mode, the off button does not work. If anything is plugged in and you flip the switch on the back to off, the keyboard will still function normally. The only way to turn the keyboard off while charging is to physically remove the USB cable. -Battery percentage is in accurate. Ive also noticed this with other budget keyboards so I dont know if its an issue with Windows 10 or an issue with the software used in these keyboards, but when using Bluetooth, Windows will report 0 or 1% battery life it the USB cable is plugged in while using it wirelessly. Overall, however, the positives vastly outweigh the negatives. Im typing on it now and its a pure joy. If youre going down that mechanical keyboard rabbit hole as I am and are looking for a good tactile keyboard to try out, Id highly recommend this KLIM Shift keyboard. Its a great value.
