    This clicky-clacky little number does a fine job at providing a more satisfyingly tactile experience than your usual Bluetooth keyboard. Lots of reviews (and the product description!) suggest that you need to do some goofy key combos to get normal characters like question marks, but hidden in the manual is this handy paragraph: “Press FN+Shift (shift on the right side of the keyboard), Arrow keys turn into the second function. Press FN+Shift again, arrow keys function recovery.” Not the best translation, but it does mean you can toggle the arrow keys with a simple keyboard combo. I’ve attached a picture of the entire manual for the convenience of other potential buyers. And honestly, I recommend it. This keyboard is a steal at this price. It’s probably not the perfect gaming keyboard and your co-workers will murder you if you try to bring it to the office, but it’s a very functional device that’s a lot of fun for casual use. It also seems to be pretty trivial to customize, with easily swappable keycaps and a whole universe of little nerdy doo-dads to get the typing experience of your dreams. One imagines the more expensive models are even better if you’re trying to be some kind of Pro Gamer or you can’t type on anything less than actual ivory keys hand carved by patient artisans in a foreign country, but for the rest of us, it’ll do quite nicely. Also the whole thing lights up and makes you feel like you’re in a cheap Matrix knock-off movie, which is cool.

    I’m typing my review on this keyboard. I got the white one with the blue switches (I think they are Kailh Blues) and I’m pretty impressed with this keyboard for the price. Many of the reviews on this products complain about the weird placement of the arrow keys and combined functions of other keys, but in reality that the nature of most 60% keyboards. The wireless connection is solid, although using it without a cord for gaming introduces a good amount of input lag (blues are crap for gaming anyway). There seems to be an older version and an updated one, the updated one has some more ergonomic key combos to activate certain functions, and also have a USB-C cable, which is much preferable to a micro USB. Make sure you guys look at the manual and keep it in case you cant remember some of the unmarked key presses, such as ctrl + enter to disable the arrow keys. Typing on this keyboard is very satisfying, with a nice click and feedback every time you press a key. The keys are well spaced, and they each have enough heft so they can’t be pressed by accident. Someone with larger hands shouldn’t have much trouble using this to type. Also due to its size it is pretty easy to carry around in bag if you are trying to use it as a portable keyboard. I also like the fact that you can pair it to 3 separate devices at once and switch between them very easily. The backlighting is pretty great, especially when typing in the dark. All the other lighting mode other than the standard one are a little too flashy though. I usually just turn it off to save battery, which has been pretty good so far. I’m also using this on a iPad and it paired really easily and has had 0 problems with it so far. Make sure to switch to Mac mode from the Windows mode or vice versa. (Ctrl + A or ctrl + S) The downsides of this keyboard are the key legend which is a little cheesy, as well as how loud it is (that’s the nature of all blue switches though). Also if you listen closely beyond the loud clicking of the keys, there is some metallic pinging that can be heard. It isnt the greatest sounding thing in the world, but is mostly drowned out by the clickiness of the keys. Overall this is a great and rather discrete looking keyboard that is great value. Hopefully reliability is good, will update if anything happens to it. Buy this if you are considering it. EDIT: They are Outemu blues

    I am updating my review because my last board that came was defective. The board would NOT connect wireless by any means. bluetooth or 2.4ghz. It only worked when plugged in. It would shut off and not turn back on at all in wireless. So far with the new board its working great. No issues at this time. My only issue is Charging. The company should of made it easier to keep an eye on it to see if its fully charged or not. You plug it in and it blinks 3 times that its charging and 5 times when its done. The only problem is there is no indicator or anything to tell you its charged and if you dont see the 5 blinks you will never know its charged at all. The keyboard should of had a solid light when charging then the lights turns off when charged or some way of telling you battery life. Other then the charging confusion its a solid keyboard

    This keyboard isnt the best there is. It isnt the greatest thing you will touch. However it is one of the best keyboards in this price range. I dont like playing video games, and am not a fan of rgb, so I turned down the brightness of the lights on the keyboard and it works great. I like the feel of the red switches, but it is a little louder than I expected. The function commands are a little confusing and understanding the User Manual is a chore, but once you get past it, the experience of using the keyboard is phenomenal. The Bluetooth feature is extremely useful especially for people who dont like clutter. I personally didnt find any problems with Bluetooth connection

    This keyboard is the most obnoxiously loud keyboard ive ever heard in my life - and I work in IT enough to tell you from experience what the normal noise range is (if thats even a thing). My husband bought this and he works all day on the phone as welm. Its the most obnoxious thing ever. Whenever we talk over the phone all i hear is clicking and clacking. Ill be in the next room over and ill still hear that thing. Hes had it for two years and hear I am telling you I have yet to get used to the noise level. (I could also never get used to this type of keyboard model but thats just me) Youve been warned people

    It’s nice to be back on a mechanical keyboard, and this one in particular is very pleasant to type on. It offers good feedback on the presses, a satisfyingly loud sound, it’s not too cramped despite its small size, has a sturdy weight that keeps it anchored on the desk, and at least the white version with its blue backlighting is quite pretty. I have been using it for only a couple of days and I have found, in reference to preceding reviews, that its main problem is not the question mark, which can be toggled on easily enough by holding down FN, then pressing Shift (does not work if you press both at the same time), but the arrow keys, which are (and stay) toggled off when that happens, and the parentheses, which require a very awkward three-key move, FN-Left Shift-F9. So I would keep the question mark toggled off, then hit these keys together when you need it: FN-Left Shift-Question Mark. The hyphen also is awkward, requiring you to hold down FN, then reach across with your left hand to hit the f11 key, unless you’re more digitally acrobatic than me and can easily press the FN key with you right thumb and reach up with right middle finger. And the position of the FN key is also not the best: it should be on the other side of the board; I often hit it when I mean to hit the right arrow. Other notes: I have not found the keyboard falling asleep to be much a problem. Could be that the manufacturer has addressed this particular flaw. For Mac users, it is the Windows key that stands in place of the command key, not the Control key. Not sure if there is any use for the Control key with the Mac. And, in addition to the back-delete, which is where it should be, FN-n is the forward-delete. But the numbers are also a bit awkward; they are part of the function keys and require a simultaneous press of the FN key. None of the shortcomings have been dealbreakers for me, however. This is a wonderful mechanical keyboard. I doubt you can get better for the price, especially not with Bluetooth capability.

    This was my first mechanical keyboard, and the typing was very satisfying (I purchased the red switches). However, I often use keyboard shortcuts, and this keyboard is inconvenient for some shortcuts. For example, Ctrl + RightArrow is hard to use, since I need to press LeftCtrl + Fn + RightCtrl, but then this mistakenly switches the keyboard mode! Fn + LeftCtrl will turn 1-9 into F1-F9. It may also be confusing for some people if they accidentaly change the keyboard mode. I tried to use the m key and it didnt work until I realized it was acting as the End key because I accidentaly switched the mode. There are 3 modes for the Fn keys, 2 modes for the arrow keys, and 2 modes for Windows/Apple.

    General: This keyboard, for its price point, is a great deal. It does feel a little bit on the cheaper side, but I think that should be expected. Sound: It is a somewhat loud keyboard, but certainly not the loudest I have had for this price. Performance/Usage: This IS compatible with Linux systems, which I was happy to find out (since thats my main OS). Battery life is surprisingly long, definitely at least as long as the manufacturer states if not lasting even longer. The size is certainly something that needs adjustment for, it took me a couple of hours to be able to type efficiently but it took me a couple of days to figure out and memorize the odd key pairings that are somewhat necessary for reduced sized keyboards, such as holding the function key + shift + up arrow key to get a ? or the function key + the up arrow key to get a /, and other combinations for accessing common characters. I dont use the ? often since I code and it isnt a frequent use, but still it is there. The Bluetooth works perfectly, as well. I havent had any connection issues at all. Response time is pretty much indistinguishable between Bluetooth and wireless modes. The keyboard also has a TON of lighting options, which you dont always find for this price either. Overall: I definitely recommend this keyboard for anyone on a budget who wants a small wireless mechanical keyboard with great battery life. While it is small, it certainly is a respectable keyboard.

    PRO * Very affordable 60% Mechanical Keyboard, especially given the Bluetooth connectivity. * OEM Keycaps are actually fairly thick in comparison to other mechanical keyboards in this price point. When measured with digital calipers the factory OEM keycaps were around 1.3mm. (EnjoyPBT or GMK keycaps are 1.4 and 1.5mm respectively). * Keyboard has fairly standard keycap sizes which makes switching to an aftermarket keyset easy and painless. * Surprisingly sturdy build especially given the price point. * On/Off toggle switch for the Bluetooth radio on the bottom of the keyboard. * LED indicator under spacebar for when keyboard is charging. CON * Bluetooth is Bluetooth version 3. However, for general typing use this shouldnt be an issue and wasnt an issue in any of my experience. However, if used for gaming you might want to play plugged in via USB to avoid any latency. * As I generally use fully programmable keyboards or keyboards such as the HHKB Professional BT where the Control key is where the Caps Lock key is placed, Id really like to be able to reprogram the keyboard layout via a desktop application or perhaps via an Android/iOS application such as what is present on the Anne Pro from Obins. This is also true of the arrow key placement as Id prefer to use HHKB style arrow clusters or at least vim arrow keys (hjkl). IMPROVEMENTS * Would like to see different switches offered such as Gateron Silents. * Perhaps switch to white LEDs as this would be more pleasing and would match with aftermarket keysets better. * See misc improvements or changes Id personally prefer to see throughout the review. MISC FEEDBACK * The model I am reviewing had a generic Cherry MX Blue switch in it. Normally, Im not one to use a clicky MX switch as I tend to prefer Cherry MX Silent Blacks (Linears) or Zealios (67g Tactile) or Topre style switches. * Personally, Id prefer to have paid $5 more to obtain this board with a different selection of switches (Gateron Silent Blacks for linears, maybe Silent Gateron Browns for Tactiles?) over the switches included. * When utilizing the LEDs the Caps Lock key is not turned on by default, unless caps lock is active. Id prefer to have all keys lit if LEDs are activated and when caps lock is turned ON to have the LED shine a different color via an RGB LED in this switch.
