Greater than one weekPRO * 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.

> 3 dayThis 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.

> 3 dayThe keyboard sounds and feels good. Built quality is solid. Many backlighting presets. Sometimes the Bluetooth takes a bit to connect, but its a relatively minor issue for the price and overall quality. I had an issue with some keys not working (dont think it was a fault of the product, just a bug), and customer support was very good and responsive. They helped me troubleshoot pretty extensively and we were ultimately able to solve the issue.

> 3 dayIt’s a really good keyboard, you’re able to change key caps and switches would recommend. I keep mine plugged in, but Bluetooth works good

Greater than one weekThe main thing that gets me with this keyboard is that they decided to overlay the arrow keys on some rather important keys. Main one for me is (ARROW UP) and (/?) are the same key. If you do any text-heavy operations like programming youll have to train yourself to use the (fn) key in order to either arrow around in the text or to use (/?). Its forgivable for everyday use, and maybe gamers can remap their keys and make this thing work, but Ill have to find something else for writing code. I do like the way this keyboard feels though. I want it to be my main keyboard for my tablet but the arrow key situation drives me nuts.

> 3 dayI have a problem with having to buy smaller gadgets to be able to fit everything on my desk. This is very good quality. Wonderful sounding blue switches. Tons of options for the light patterns and plenty of easy shortcuts to use for it having less physical keys. I was hesitant to use the Bluetooth at first thinking it would have a little more lag than the USB key but I cant feel a difference between the two. Absolutely love this little 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.

11-06-2025I bought this specifically for Undertale and Deltarune and the keyboard arrow keys are good for it. I was able to beat sans and Jevil twice and the keyboard was very responsive. Eh good purchase and I can use it for other things so yeah good purchase overall. I bought it with blue keys and I didnt care about the type of keys. I was worried at first so I fired up Badtimesimulator and was able to beat sans successfully with blue keys. I also had custom my keyboard with a purchase I made a while ago of a one hand keyboard. It was a red dragon one hand keyboard and it looked good for the results. Easy to remove and customize keys and key types. The key caps and key buttons were easy to remove and cause no frustration. Good keyboard will use it for other uses.

> 3 dayI bought this keyboard around this time last year This is really nice keyboard it is still in great condition I have spilled water in it and got food all over it and I have put it through hell it is a really good one major thing I don’t like about it is the Bluetooth after a while it will disconnect and you may or may not struggle to reconnect it. Other than that the keyboard is great.

> 3 daySturdy, well-built keyboard for the price point. Ergonomic shape, keys are backlit with different settings. No option to change the backlight color, however. Wireless and wired options. Comes with a keycap remover and extra switches for customization. Overall a good purchase!
