> 3 dayI was reading reviews from 5 stars to 1 star. I ordered it anyway, and it came in. It worked perfectly, and I played a couple of games. They are easy to click without having to push too hard. Also, it is gorgeous! Ensure you take care of it so they dont experience issues like smashing too hard. It may not be the best recommended if you want to beat your keyboard too hard.

Greater than one weekPeripheral Neuropathy has left me with compromised feeling and fine motor skills in my fingers and hands. I had to put silicone tabs on a few buttons to help me type by my own version of braille. It occurred to me a mechanical keyboard could help me feel the keys. Round keys maybe better still. I was right. The keys feel a little small at first but I think Ill get used to it. The round buttons really help too. I sure am glad for the other reviewers tips on utilizing all the cool ways to play with the colors. Many thanks for that. Was I the only one to not get any paperwork at all? Or a bar code manual? Minus one star. But so far its awesome.

> 3 dayHave had this keyboard for about 6 months now and have had no issues. Maybe not the best for gaming but thats to be expected from a typewriter keyboard. The clicks are definitely satisfying and the RGB looks great. Would recommend to a friend or stranger.

Greater than one weekPretty much got what I expected with this so thats always about as much as can be expected unless you have particularly low expectations of a product. I hoped this would be as good looking in person as in the pics and it definitely is, plus a bunch more. It has downsides but its not as pricey as the big name keyboards and after a couple months its still working fine, plus if you like the style i honestly dont know an alternative that matches it remotely on the modern typewriter sort of look it has - I think maybe once I saw an expensive keyboard made out of retrofitted keyboards, with all the issues their keys had an the less than optimal key layout and slope of the rows putting the top row far above the bottom, and the recreations would lose some cool points to solve some of these issues and supply some useful keys not on a real vintage typewriter. Stuff like that is really for hipster types to look cool and retro without care for the functionality of it as a keyboard for much of anything because computers are lame or something, right? Anyway, besides liking it, some pros and cons: Pros: - Fully functional in all ways described, and as easy as plug and play - All the controls and color / effect / brightness options are available as keyboard commands, with no accompanying software required or complicated set up processes for relatively limited function options (unlike some big, expensive players - looking at you; Corsair (especially), and Logitech. Realistically programs that allow multiple effect layers (like e.g. -!a color / colors, a wave effect, a typing effect like a single color change or ripple / pebble in a pond effect, thats about as much as anyone can process or would look okay). You could add more but it either wouldnt be noticed because colors are similar to those used, or you can add jarring sudden bits of unexpected colors in a way that just diminishes the quality of the existing effect; Multiple constant changes clash as do multiple typing-reactant set ups. Basically, the combo of a set main color / colors / animation and the available addition of something like the ripple effect is plenty of movement and honestly more than what looks good w the style - I have a warm white / yellow and orange type background color and a typing effect in a cooler, brighter / whiter color scheme and it is more than enough, the reaction animation might be excessive to some and with this old style coloration of a warmer (2-3k kelvin) light temp that old lightbulbs were pretty exclusively made in, simple works well. You can do a rainbow and crazy stuff if you like though, and without touching your computer. - You also can independently control the side light - The mechanical feel of the keys is nice as are the satisfying click-clacks it produces, as long as you dont need to be quiet - home office yes, work office probably not unless youre the boss or at least have a private office. - Price is reasonable for quality and capabilities, at least where some keyboards are $150-200 for (seems to me) imperceivable benefits in response time etc.. and the software which can also set macros etc. easily but probably isnt worth it for non-gamers, and I doubt theyre getting this anyway because it cant possibly be the best layout for that. - Seems well made, no issues - Really makes a nice look in, for example, a more traditional office (I moved into a house with an old fashioned wood paneled office and found a large wood / brass antique desk with inlaid green leather top on consignment to buy, and it fits the look perfectly - only the monitors look somewhat out of place. - Not the quickest to type on, the key shape and design arent going to set record WPMs for you, but if you use the number pad more than the keys like me and normally average 120-180 wpm you could drop to 50-100 or so wpm but thats fine for many uses including many work needs. On that.. - Full size number pad, very comfortable and easy to use, trading options as my main vocation, I need it most and its not failed me or even caused a typo. Cons: - Wired - Save the customization keys

> 3 dayI liked the retro looks and loved the lights but the keyboard was very difficult to type correctly on without several errors. I kept trying to get used to it but finally gave up and returned it. It might be great for gamers but not for typing.

> 3 dayThe keyboard is quite a solid product. I have been trying to find a decent keyboard to replace the one that came with my PC due to wear-and-tear of course. Upon finding this and purchasing it... I must say the good things about it, along with the bad stuff about it. The good things about this keyboard is... its pretty. Typewriter styled keyboards are just lovely. The keys are circular. The keys also light up once the keyboard is plugged in to the computer, due to it being an RGB lit product. The font style of the keyboard is kind of pleasing to look at and each key also lights up when using the computer in a dark room (I personally prefer it this way when I game). The wrist pad that is attached can be collapsed for a more technical experience when not on a desk. If can be extended for more comfort. Now for the drawbacks. And to start off? · Not a quiet one -- My goodness, its LOUD! Im personally not a fan of clicky-clacky keys where they make a snapping noise. And this one really has to be vitally necessary to do so. Playing a game with keys atrocious snapping sounds is a discomfort. · Circular keys = Poor accuracy. When I am trying to do anything involving to type out words, 50/50 you will keep making typos constantly (for example: [word]./). Dont get me wrong. Half of it is my own fault for finding a keyboard, especially when its styled like a typewriter. But overall... solid product.

> 3 dayI guess I read it wrong--- I was hoping for wireless keyboard. Unfortunately, thats not the case. Overall, I love that its colorful, large letting, and has that cool old school type writer sound.

Greater than one weekGood product, but I do fear that keys could break with excessive horizontal force
