Greater than one weekQuick warning, I never used this in bluetooth mode so I dont know how well or poor that works. I have used this very a very limited amount in wireless mode, as I dont care about that sort of thing. It sometimes drops inputs in that mode, but thats because I have my xbox controller and headset that uses the band its on. YMMV. The simple fact is this: For 64 bucks, youre getting a hot-swappable 60% keyboard, with a metal backplate, that has adjustable lighting. Its a steal of a deal. Theres a few catches, though. 1: The lighting is flat. One color. In white, its sky blue-ish. In black, it appears to be yellow from other reviews. If you want RGB, buy the more expensive version. 2: A 60% is kind of difficult to buy new switches for because of the function layer. Unless youve memorized the layout, if you do decide to get better keycaps, you might be lost as to how the Fn+ layout of this keyboard works. Generally the F keys will always be the corresponding number, but if you need the arrow keys, or the pgup/pgdn/del/end/whatever youll need to find keycaps *specifically for this keyboard* to have the function layer be on the board. Theyre most likely out there but still. If thats going to be a deal-breaker for you, buy their TKL which just loses the side number pad. Its only slightly more expensive. Youll still need to deal with the lighting controls in that case but its much more likely youll just remember where those are. 3: The battery is non-removable. If, like me, you use this exclusively in wired mode...well, the spacebar will flash at you, every hour or so, telling you its fully charged. Its annoying but you learn to ignore it. 4: This board does something incredibly nifty thats ruined if you keep the lighting at full blast. When caps lock is on, it tells you by turning the light all the way up. See...the obvious problem here is that it should have dimmed the light instead of brighten it. You literally cant run the lights fully if you want that feature to work, so I dont...cause I do. No keyboard is going to be perfect. For the price, if you want a 60%, get it. If you want a 65%, buy that version. If you want a TKL, buy that version. Hot-swappable at these prices? No brainer.

> 3 dayupdate (2020.4) : I am not changing 4 star rating but I could fix the issue by myself. so here is few tips for the users suffering similar issue. The popping key cap could be fixed using adhesive residue that I could scrap from tape. I could use a glue but at the time I didnt have it. and it could smear into switch mechanism to ruin the switch. This little amount of adhesive scraped from tape worked perfectly and safely. And another tip for Mac users. hard to type due to complicated combination of keys to type ? could be solved through letter replacement under keyboard setting in Mac OS. I personally have set two exclamation mark to be replaced to question mark. I hope this helps. this keyboard is a joy to use and joy to hear. It was little challenging to figure out short cuts at first. But once it’s done, this keyboard has become one of my favorite keyboard of all time. It just has perfect combination of everything. Size, quality, wireless and price. I didn’t even expect this keyboard to be this good. 4 stars : Im adjusting minus 1 star from previous 5 star rating. some key caps pop out if I type really fast. Im thinking about putting some glue to those key caps to switches. Other than that its OK 3 stars : I have been using this keyboard as a 2nd keyboard. so the mileage wasnt too long. but one of the key is not working now. Im sad that this keyboard couldnt keep up with real use.

> 3 dayThis keyboard is incredibly well made and nice to type on but suffers from serious usability issues compounded by poor documentation. The default when you turn it on is to have several keys on the lower right remapped to arrow keys -- including the question mark. To get the regular keys back you need to hit function-Enter. This is NOT in the documentation -- the documentation says you have to hit function-control twice to do this. Not true. I learned that here in the amazon reviews. Apparently you can disable the windows/command key by hitting function-windows. I dont know why youd ever want to do this. I did it by accident a few times and I had no idea what happened. This keyboard would be hugely improved by a set of indicator lights to show you what configuration options youd switched on and off. As it stands theres no way to know except by hitting keys and trying to figure it out by what it is and isnt doing. Basically to use this keyboard well you have to somehow glean what all the (sometimes poorly documented) config options are and be ready to diagnose when you need to use them (and maybe when youve accidentally activated them). If you do all that, you may have a great time with this excellently made keyboard. If not, you will just find frustration. Bottom line, great keyboard but a huge challenge to learn to use well

Greater than one weekBought this and it initially became very slow after a few weeks. However, customer services reached out, sent me a new one, and it is great! The keys are responsive, and the board is very sturdy overall. I am very impressed. Plus customer service was great if you have any issues. It was a great buy! I recommend handing on to the manual, if you accidentally switch modes, you will be confused why keys arent behaving like youd expect, just hold Fn + Space and it will reset. Great keyboard!

> 3 dayIt’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.

> 3 dayThis 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

> 3 dayI was skeptical about this purchase due to being unfamiliar with the company, but I’ve been very pleased with this product so far. It has a comfortable feel and has been easy to adjust to switching from another keyboard, having 3 different options to choose from when connecting it to whatever device you’re using is a really cool feature too. I have been primarily using it for my PS5 but have used it for my desktop as well and have no complaints for either. Would definitely recommend.

> 3 dayUPDATE: Got the board replaced and it works perfectly now. Based on other reviews there might be a bad batch. This board is great and sounds nice, but I have been FIGHTING it to stay connected. I have to have it hardwired and the dongle plugged in and even then its spotty with registering keystrokes. Ive plugged, unplugged, tried bluetooth, etc and all that has happened is now specific keys do not work.
