> 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 daythe keyboard design is very much flawed, with certain commonly used keys combined within one key, say /, ?, and upper arrow, you have to constantly use shift and function keys to get the intended keys. I understand this is a compact keyboard, but to combine three commonly used keys under one just doesnt work. Could be a great keyboard, but now it is just so hard to use.

> 3 dayI’ve been needing a new keyboard and was on the edge about this one but it is really nice. Changed the switches for personal preference with ease. Smooth keycaps and all. Good purchase.

> 3 dayThis is the cheapest mechanical keyboard I’ve ever owned, and it’s my new favorite keyboard. (I chose the RGB one) The build quality is surprisingly good for the price. I see a lot of negative reviews from people who bought the keyboard for use other than gaming talking about bad keymapping, and my response to that is why did you buy a gaming keyboard? If you are a software editor or something (not a gamer) why don’t you get a full form factor keyboard with all the buttons you need, instead of getting a 60% keyboard designed for gaming and then complaining about how it’s hard to access certain keys? For $50 you get awesome looking rgb (the clear switches look great) with backlighting, you get hot swappable switches, and you get three different connection methods through usb dongle, Bluetooth, or wired. Aside from all those features that are objectively good, the stock switches on this keyboard feel great in my opinion. I spent $20 on some hyperx pudding keycaps and now my keyboard looks and feels even better. So, I guess my verdict is; if you play games, buy it. If you want a keyboard for other purposes, I would probably look elsewhere.

> 3 dayI love this keyboard. I’ve only charged it twice since I’ve purchased it (About 3 months), and you can change the lighting. I thought you could change the color of the lights but I don’t think you are able to. I’m planning on buying new switches, I didn’t know the difference in blue or red so I chose the blue switches when I ordered this (Please don’t unless you actually like the sound). The only real issue is that the keys stick sometimes. This might be on my part; my boyfriend plays games and types on it yet he hasn’t experienced any issues, this might be because he types extremely fast whereas I don’t.

20-11-2024***UPDATE This keyboard is wireless, bluetooth, mechanical, has great build quality, and works with up to 3 devices. The ONLY detractor i found was that the arrow keys did double duty. Since i dont regularly use the arrow keys this was an issue for me as one of the keys was the / key that i use for programming and such. The user pamphlet shows how to lock these keys. if you are a programmer that is mouse specific then green light and buy. if you use arrow keys you might want to buy a different keyboard. I am completely happy with this keyboard now that i found it. WORD-OF-ADVICE: Keep the pamphlet that comes with it. You will need to refer back to it for sure. This keyboard is great. The feel of typing is amazing. The lack of a number pad is an annoyance i knew going in to the purchase. I was looking for bluetooth not RF or other wireless method so went for it. Once think i was not aware of at the time of purchase is the / key needs to have the Fn key pressed as well otherwise it is a number key. This is a deal breaker of me as i needed this in order to type programs and other technical documents. Buyer beware if you fall into this demographic as well. I am trying to see if there is a way i can disable the number keys and use them as their functions only. As of yet i have been unsuccessful. If i am able to lock these keys, then i can recommend for programmers.

> 3 dayThis 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.

17-11-2024COVID has me working in my small home office. I have my work MacBook, my Windows Laptop, and my old iMac all jammed onto a small desktop. Wanting to clean up my desk, I was looking for a Bluetooth keyboard that would work with all three. Which brought me to this small, wireless keyboard with the ability to pair with three machines. Heres the good news, this is a well-made keyboard. Its fast. If you have the ability to type very fast, the switches on this keyboard have strong tactile feedback that allows you to actuate each key without fully depressing the key. If you arent a touch typist, this probably isnt the keyboard for you. If you are a touch typist, you have three key combos that you will need to learn, or the benefits of this keyboard miss you entirely. This is a noisy keyboard, for a reason. If you are a touch typist, you may like the audible click each keypress makes. This is, however, not a friendly keyboard for use in a shared workspace. This is a small keyboard, but it has full-sized keys. This is great if you are a touch typist with a small, private, workspace. It does require some tradeoffs. In order to make the keyboard small, but retain full-sized keys, there are fewer keys than a standard 101 keyboard, this machine has multiple functions or layers for many of the keys. This keyboard has full-sized arrow keys that occupy one layer. Press Fn+Enter and that layer is disabled and now the up arrow becomes the /? key. Left arrow becomes the right Alt key and the Right arrow becomes the right CTRL-key. (Im not sure what the down arrow becomes.) Tada! In my case, I also need to flip the functions of the keyboard from windows to Mac. To do that, I hit Fn+A or Fn+S Then I have access to all the windows or Apple functions. I can use Fn Q to switch to my work laptop, Fn W to switch to my windows laptop and Fn E to switch to my old iMac. Kudos to this keyboard for having EXCELLENT Bluetooth management and excellent power management. It reliably stays connected to the machine I want it connected. It reliably switches on command. It reliably reconnects after it has gone to sleep. In this regard, it is even better than my old Apple wireless keyboard. Finally, the top row of keys acts both as your regular numeral row and your Function keys. To toggle that layer, I hit Fn+Ctrl to flip back and forth. Admittedly, Remembering these three key combos takes a little getting used to. The instructions are sparse, but they exist, and the keyboard functions as advertised. This is a loud, clicky keyboard. I kinda like it, though I have to close my office door or my wife will comment on the noise. The keyboard has survived its first week of use on one charge, so that seems acceptable. It charges through its included USB cable. The battery is permanent and not hot-swappable. The key switches are permanently soldered in, so they arent swappable either. The keycaps are swappable, and I may just buy a new keycap for the WIN button. Oh, it has amber lights. I have the black version of this keyboard and they look nice, though I dont really need all the wavy patterns. The layers thing doesnt bother me too much, but it is hard to get used to my wife laughing whenever I type. _____ Ive spent a bit more time with this keyboard and Ive added a start. It was easy for me to add the Fn+Enter to toggle the arrow keys and Fn+Ctrl to toggle the function keys. Im super happy with the ability to switch between three devices on demand. This really is a great keyboard for the money, and the seller did a great job getting the keyboard shipped promptly. They even sent a personal follow up email to ensure everything went well and that all my questions were answered.
