KLIM Shift Wireless Mechanical Keyboard 60% - New 2023 - Hotswap RGB Extra 69 keycap Set - Backlit Keyboard Mini Wireless 2.4Ghz & Bluetooth 60% Percent Gaming Keyboard - PC Gamer Win/Mac

The positives: This keyboard has a nice package experience, featuring well-written instructions and . It comes with key pullers, a whole extra set of white keycaps to replace the black, and even a magnetically detachable frame, which ostensibly lets you choose between a black keyboard (with the frame) or a white keyboard (with the frame removed). Although personally I think Id prefer to just buy either a white or black keyboard. The 65% layout is nice and compact, without sacrificing the arrow keys. You can press Fn+Z to switch into macOS mode, which swaps the position of the Alt and Windows/Cmd keys, a layout I prefer. Be warned if you choose to replace the keycaps, that you will need non-standard caps for PgUp, PgDn, and Esc (these are in different rows compared to the standard 100% layout), and right-Win, Fn, and right-Ctrl, as these are all 1U width compared to the typical 1.25U. The set I bought used the XDA profile (all rows the same height), and included plenty of variants of the modifier keys, so I had no issue here. The negatives: This keyboard uses Jixian Brown switches, the most bargain-bin cheap tactile switches Ive ever had the displeasure of typing on. They feel mushy, scratchy, not to mention incredibly pingy. Each keypress produces very noticeable resonance within the case. To a first-time mechanical keyboard owner, this might turn them off the hobby. I suppose you could mitigate this by lubricating the switches and adding noise absorbing foam to the case, but (as the keyboard is hot-swappable) I plan to just replace them. The switch stems are *incredibly* tight, such that removing the keycaps requires an unusual amount of force. Multiple times, I accidentally dismounted the switches instead, especially trying to remove the backspace and enter keys. Another flaw I noted is the USB-C port, which has a very deep and narrow shroud around it. Out of all the other USB-C cables I tried (which all have slightly thicker housing around the connector), I could only make it work with the included one. This is particularly annoying for a wireless keyboard, which youd generally leave unplugged, then attach to any old USB-C charger when the battery runs out. For $59, I wouldnt recommend buying this keyboard, except as a cheap starter for someone looking to

Bought this on a whim to use with my Steam Deck in a setup. Its quickly become my go to keyboard for all my devices. Its solid, feels good, has good key travel and sound, good battery, and good RGB. The frame is magnetic, it comes with a second set of keycaps in white, and comes with a magnetic slot for the 2.4 Ghz receiver. I could not be happier with this keyboard. Im adding KLIM to my list of KB companies to watch.

Honestly 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.

This 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.

Pros: •2.4Ghz and stores 3 bluetooth devices. •Extra keycaps (secured packaging). •5-pin PCB compatible. •Removeable magnetic frame. •Rubberized feet (2 sizes) that fold in. •Hot swappable. •19 RGB stock modes (including no RGB) and software to customize. •RGB auto shut off after 5 min of inactivity when on battery. •Cherry MX style switches and stabs. Neutral: •Brown Switches* •North-facing RGB •Keycaps textured ABS plastic. Cons: •Hollow feedback despite preinstalled foam. Perfect after modding. •Scratchy & pingy switches.* Tolerable after modding. •USB C port has a raised border limiting compatible cables. *Reasoning under switches. Keyboard Features: First, this is a 65% (68 key) keyboard not 60, but I prefer 65%. The magnetic frame can be removed to give the appearance of floating keys, to dust, and easy access to switches. Case has 2 different sized rubbered feet that collapse on top of each other. 2.4Ghz adapter has a magnetic slot for storage when not in use. USB C slot is a little off center, but I think it would be better by the backspace key. The port also has a raised border, so the usb cable can’t have a thick casing or it will not fit. There’s noticeable hollow feedback while typing despite preinstalled foam, so I added a layer of grip liner from my local discount store, and it greatly reduce the feedback to almost nothing. PCB: The PCB supports 5-pin switches, which was a very nice surprise. Typical north facing RGB. Cable to detach the battery is too close to circuits but I just had to lift the cable a little to detach it. Stabs were nicely lubed and flat, so I did not clip them. They were a little hard to remove but could’ve just been me. The stab bar was surprisingly flat. I audibly gasped in awe. Switches: I knew I wouldn’t be happy with stock switches and better switches would drive up the price. Typing with the Jixian switches stock were unbearable for my ears and fingers (and not because they are brown). After a week, I lubed the lower housing stem rails (205g0) and springs (105 bag method). I felt doing the stem would make it too mushy and using 105 would not take away how scratchy it was. After lubing, it is a lot better than before. No more ping and still a slight scratch, but I didn’t lube everything so that’s expected. Note: Anyone taking the time to properly lube the switches would not be lubing Jixian switches. That is another reason I also did not film them because the housing was snug. You can buy better switches stock then lubing and filming these. Packaging: Packaging was very well thought out. It included the tools to do basic modding. The spare keycaps have a cardstock to keep them in place and you get an ISO enter keycap... it will not fit this keyboard, but now youll have one! The manual and visual reference guide is in multiple languages. There wasnt any thick foam surrounding the keyboard, but usually you see that in more expensive brands. The presentation of the keyboard is definitely gift-giving worthy. Opinon: Keyboards are all about preference, but this a great keyboard to start modding with. Would it be better if I lubed the switches properly? Maybe. Would different keycaps make it more thocky? Most likely, depending on the style of keycap. This keyboard is like a diamond in the rough. I would rate it 3.5/5 stock but could’ve easily been 5/5 without the usb border and with slight mods. But I expect to mod every keyboard, so Id give it 4.5/5 because of the usb border.

This is a good base keyboard. The fact that it comes with 2 decent sets of keycaps, not just cheap plastic ones is a nice touch. If you have no intent of tinkering and replacing the key switches, it might not be the keyboard that sells you on mechanical. the included key switches have a rather deep actuation point with a higher than expected required force. The sound isnt bad. My primary purpose in buying this was for work, but I might end up using it for more, if I can live without my dedicated F keys. Nothing that I can complain about after spending much more on name brand keyboard that came with worse feel, and less options.

Top notch. Got as a Christmas gift. Nice lighting presets. Feels sturdy and extra set of white key caps is great. Less clikcy than my blue switch keyboard which is just fine for me. It is still pretty clicky. Can also take off the bezel for a floating key look.
