Mom Of Many Munchkins
Greater than one weekI ordered a black keyboard with BROWN switches for my daughter. I was sent blue. At that point, my choices were: A.) just keep it. But I felt annoyed that I specifically ordered brown and got blue. B.) return it for an exchange. But the exchange option only says exact exchange, and I was worried theyd send me blue again...even though the invoice specifically says I ordered BROWN. C.) return if for a full refund and then go back and buy the same black keyboard again with brown switches, and hold my breath hoping they would send brown this time. But the price went up, so it didnt seem fair that I should have to pay MORE for their mistake. So, I opted for option B. I specifically told them in the message that I ordered brown switch, I was sent blue switch, and to please send me brown and that I did NOT want blue again. Well, I just received the exchanged keyboard. And guess what? Blue. Seriously?!! Blue again. I am so ticked right now! This blows my mind! Never mind that the keyboard is really nice. Never mind that the colored lights are AMAZING. Not listening to what customers order...TWICE NOW...REALLY turns me off!! To add the this story....let me tell you that I also ordered, for myself, their white keyboard in brown switch. I got a white keyboard in brown switch. Its perfect. its exactly what I wanted. Having both blue and brown switches makes me even more upset, because I greatly prefer the sound of the brown. The blue is very clicky. We live in a 70 mobile home. I can hear my daughter doing her online school work on the blue switch keyboard even when we are on opposite sides of the house. I see that other people have also complained that theyve received the wrong color switches. I dont understand this. Why? If brown isnt available anymore, then please take the option off! If I had been sent the black keyboard in brown switch, like I had ordered, I would have given this keyboard 5 stars, hands down. Heck, even if I was originally sent the wrong color blue switch, but had they sent the right brown one in the exchange....I would have given it 5 stars, no problem. Because the keyboard is really nice. Are you thinking its unfair of me to leave 2 stars for a really nice keyboard? No, its not.....BECAUSE I ASKED, TWO TIMES NOW, FOR BROWN SWITCHES AND TWO TIMES IVE RECEIVED BLUE. Enough of this nonsense! What a hassle! I guess we will just keep the one blue switch keyboard. Ill end this long review by saying that if you are trying to decide between the black keyboard and the white....definitely choose the white! It is AMAZING!! The lights are soooo much more brighter and vivid on the white keyboard than on the black. As I said, I have both, and the lights on the black one are, frankly, a disappointment in comparison to the white. I received the black one first (in the wrong switch color, remember) and we thought the colors were great. Then the white one arrived...and it blew us out of the water! We turned out the lights and were oohing and aahing. Plus, the white one came with the brown switches like I ordered...so that was a plus. So, the moral of this story is....I recommend the white keyboard. You will be so pleased. I recommend brown switches....they have a much softer click sound than the louder clicky blue switches. But its a crap shoot whether youre going to even get brown switches. Dont bet on it. Black keyboard - blue switches (when I asked twice for brown switches) = 2 stars White keyboard - brown switches = 5 stars

> 3 dayPros: Small, light, compact Hot swappable and 5 pin switch support Wireless dongle and bluetooth Cheap Cons: Stock keycaps feel chalky Slightly harder to get used to 60% layout compared to full layout. Overall, 9/10 budget keyboard, would recommend if you need to save money on a cheap keyboard you wanna mod. If you don’t want to mod, you should consider buying a more expensive keyboard.

> 3 dayI ordered this item twice. I ordered originally a Blue Switch keyboard. I did not receive the item I wanted, and the keyboard died after I swapped the switches, Due to error with the keyboard and the PCB. I returned the item after the seller did not want to send me a replacement , they wanted me to send a video to troubleshoot the faulty PCB. I understand they were trying their best but I was frustrated more or less. I ordered the item again, being frisky and wanting Browns. I then received the same switch I got last time which was Reds , I wish the sell could atleast check the item and contact the customer before sending a random key switch instead of the ordered one. As of right now I still have the keyboard. Im not gonna bother changing out the switches , but if I could return this I would but I really like the keyboard. So if you plan on getting anything other than Reds just cross your fingers, or you might just get Reds anyways.

Greater than one weekThe hardware itself and the build in lighting modes work well, but the software is an absolute train wreck for 3 reasons. 1-The software has a whole bunch of versions and you have to find out which one to use but there is practically no information about it 2-The software is hard to install 3-When you add any custom lighting to your board and try to save it IT DOESNT SAVE. You will have to remake the lighting effect every single time that you close the software, restart your pc, the power goes out, you unplug or turn off your keyboard, etc. Check out Keychron keyboards before you purchase this board

> 3 dayI did a lot of research before deciding on this keyboard as my first mechanical keyboard--I have already given it new keycaps to help my overall experience with the board. Its everything I wanted from a new one (though in the future I think I will upgrade from a 60% to a 65%), but my one complaint, and I do have to say its a big one for me, is the fact that this product is labeled as having a 2.4 Ghz connection (so it would use a small USB dongle to help connect wirelessly if you do not want to use a Bluetooth only connection). I was looking very forward to using that type of connection point, as it would allow me to stay wireless (which is a need for my current setup) while also maintaining a strong, lower latency connection to my laptop as compared to if I only used the Bluetooth function (considering the Bluetooth function here is not 5.0). While I will still use this keyboard with the Bluetooth function, it was a bit of a disappointment to not get a function that I assumed I was paying for. In the picture I took, you can see the outline of where the dongle would be for the 2.4 Ghz. What is most confusing is that I have seen other people have the dongle, and other people are not. It would be nice if they could keep that information updated properly in the name and product description. I also saw a lot of clashing information on if this board was hot swappable for further customization and modding--I can confirm that I have a hot-swappable version of this board, which is good because if it had not been, I would have returned it immediately. So I will have to say, that the entire board itself is really great--its a good entry level board for people who are just getting into mechanical keyboards and who have a potential interest in custom board modifying later on. My biggest problem lies with the sellers and the misleading information compared to the seemingly varying products they provide.

> 3 dayI like this keyboard, it connects seamlessly to any device. There arent any problems with the keys or inputs. The red switches are silent enough to where they can be used without worry in any scenario. The only complaint I have with it is that the arrow keys are put on the bottom left with the up arrow on the same key as the /? key making it weird when you want to press those keys.

> 3 dayEdit 01/29/20: Theres something wrong with this board. My first one had this weird issues where some keys would continually register. For example, if I pressed the A key once, the keyboard would think I was holding the key down and input an infinite number of A keystrokes. I had a replacement board set and it happened again. It doesnt happen often, I usually just unplug the keyboard and plug it back in. This happened on the original and the replacement, with different USB C cables, and on different computers. I love the keyboard, but this is an annoyance for sure Overall, Im happy. I went from a TKL Outemu Red switch gaming keyboard to this 60% (not sure if Kailh or Outemu) Brown switch keyboard. So far, its great. The lighting effects are plentiful an awesome. I swapped in the HyperX White Pudding keycaps and the RGB looks even better now. The switches feel pretty good for browns and the stabilizers are totally fine, despite some of the other reviews. I plan to use this in wired mode for gaming. However, I tested out bluetooth just for daily use (such as web browsing), and it works flawlessly. Im very happy with this keyboard.

> 3 dayMy 10 yr old is obsessed with key boards. He does his re search and even has some great expensive high quality key boards I have purchased for him. This is by far his favorite. He has changed the keys on it but for preference in color and sound. He loves this keyboard better than his 300 dollar one.

Greater than one weekI loved how beautiful the keyboard is and all the functions that it comes with. If youre using it for gaming - then this is a solid 5. However, I am a nursing student and I type for hours at a time so that is what I use for. Unfortunately, with the red switch keyboard I found myself getting tired much quicker than I do on my Logitech keyboard. This is my first time using a mechanical keyboard in a long time so I wasnt sure which ones would work for me. I am returning this item and replacing it with the brown switches as Ive heard that it does not require much force to actuate a key press. I also type out various essays ALL THE TIME and noticed that with this keyboard, I often had to go back and correct a lot of spelling errors. This was not very efficient for a student like me due to having to type my notes during lectures where my professors like speaking like they are always running out of time. I love the keyboard - its beautiful, has many functions that I still have not yet learned and it is worth the price if youre used to this type of keyboards. Unfortunately, for me it did not work. I will return to provide a review for the brown key switches.
