> 3 dayOverall rating 8/10. Out of the box the feel was very nice. I had never used this type of linear switch before, but I can say it is very close to a classic gateron yellow. The stabs come prelubed with a thicker lubricant (thicker than 205g0). The caps seem to be decent enough quality, and I havent noticed any obvious printing errors, or any errors in the placement of keys. The layers can take a bit to get used to, but overall usability is still very good even out of the box. The keyspacing is also incredibly decent, I would say Im particularly sensitive to weird keyspacing and I easily type 110+ wpm with this keyboard. This keyboard is definitely not a disposable office toy. Its a nice addition to your desk or collection. Take care.

> 3 dayIm used to yellow switches, so this keyboard took a bit of getting used to. I found that they were a bit lighter in the top than what my fingers have grown to expect, but over a week of use, I have grown to like them a lot. This keyboard is pretty much perfect out of the box. My stabilizers were a little bit rattly, but nothing that a little bit of bandage and dielectric grease couldnt take care of. I have gotten about a week or so with RGB being on with average usage. The keyboard has no issues waking up from sleep, so I have no issues with setting the sleep mode with their software to be a bit more aggressive than normal. The RK software works well with the keyboard (even over RF) for configuration of sleep, colors, and key mapping. I wish the stabilizers were a bit better out of the box, but these are a quick fix, or replacement if they really bother you. The key caps feel good to type on, and I havent had the urge to swap them out *yet*. The key switches come out with a reasonable amount of force, so if I do want to go back to my yellows that I love so much, it wont be that difficult to do. The switches feel good enough that I dont see myself doing it. If you are concerned about battery life, the USB-c connection works well for direct connection to the computer. The benefit of the direct connection with the USB port on the keyboard reminds me of the old style Mac keyboard from way back in the day. The Bluetooth mode works really well for phones, and Ive had no issues connecting to iOS, iPad-OS, or Android devices with Bluetooth. If there were just a bit more sound treatment, or better stabs, this would be 5 stars. If you dont mind doing a little work to mod the keyboard, than this will be the perfect starting keyboard for you.

> 3 dayAfter setting up the keyboard to my laptop, many of the key dont even work - all the number keys and few of the letters. Wouldnt recommend buying this. Waste of $60...

> 3 dayI really enjoy using this keyboard. I didnt realize how much I missed the satisfying feel of mechanical keyboards and this one is really superb. The keys clatter softly and feel slightly cushioned. The keyboard is the perfect size for my hands and all the keys are easy to find without hitting any adjacent keys. Although the form factor is small, this keyboard has an excellent layout with function keys and cursors smartly managed via the conveniently located Fn key. The spacebar is super nice too, and has its own soft and satisfying feel. Size-wise, this keyboard is just slightly larger than my Mac keyboard, but obviously much taller. Connecting to my computer was super easy. The keyboard is Mac/Windows/iOS/Android compatible and offers three ways to connect. Either by Bluetooth, by 2.4 Ghz dongle or via a supplied USB cable which also doubles as a charging cable (Mac/Win only). Did I mention this keyboard is rechargeable? The dongle is cleverly stored in a recessed space on the bottom of the keyboard. No matter which way I chose to connect, the keyboard was quickly located by my computer and identified correctly. The keyboard is lit by RGB LEDs and the pattern, speed, colors, etc. can all be changed on the keyboard via Special Function keys. The Fn key is also used to access other Special Function keys and Multimedia keys for both Windows and Mac computers. The manual is actually quite useful and not terribly written. This keyboard is wonderfully made and is built like a tank. It feels like it will last a very long time, but just in case, they also provide a key cap puller and four extra switches that can easily be replaced. This is the first keyboard Ive had in a long time that is repairable, with swappable switches and key caps. I would give this product six stars if I could! I am very, very impressed and happy to have this outstanding new keyboard as my primary input device for my computer. Definitely a must-have for my office! Buy with confidence.

Greater than one weekThis is what Ive been looking for in a 60% for a while now. I prefer larger form-factors, but theres just something about this one that always attracts me. What Ive wanted was a 60% that could be hot swapped, wireless, and didnt require much effort in terms of modding (I used to enjoy doing the stuff, but recently Ive become a dad and just dont have the same amount of time to dedicate to keyboards anymore). This checks all those boxes! While its good out of the box Im not a fan of linear switches, so I swapped them out for some tactiles. That being said, they were very smooth with next to no ping and no scratchy feeling. Whatever switch you go with, the stock dampening is good enough that you wont get much echo or resonance out of this chassis. The stabilizers could use a little lube though. After changing the keycaps I noticed the backspace has a tick on the left side and the shift has the same on the right. None of those caveats will take away from this being a 5 star board though. I love the feel and sound of it, and the fact that its both BT and 2.4ghz makes me very happy. With the dongle you can actually game with this board while wireless, so now my entire desk can be (wireless mouse and headset as well). If youre in the market for a wireless board, this is a good grab.

> 3 dayFor $75 this keyboard is a great beginner board for people looking to get into the custom keyboard hobby! The board is super easy to disassemble, it comes with a key cap/switch puller and it even has foam already placed in the bottom of the case so it sounds pretty decent out of the box. The stabilizers are decently lubed as well. A mod I would recommend for this board is the tape mod (put masking tape on the back of the pcb, I did 2 layers) and it will start sounding really nice. I havent lubed my switches yet and Im not sure if they are pre-lubed but with just the pcb mod the sound of this board went from a maybe a 6.5 to a solid 7.5, especially with the spacebar and backspace key, they sound extra thocky. Overall the skycyan switches are also really smooth and responsive, I tested them out by playing apex legends and they felt great! Just keep in mind that the LEDs on this board are north facing so cherry profile keycaps are not recommended.

> 3 dayThis is a must have for gaming, new or seasoned. The satisfying click is amazingly soft to use, and the colors are calming for any room. The battery lasts so long, I forgot it even needed to be charged for weeks.
