> 3 dayI have a great 60% Royal Kludge keyboard, which inspired me to buy this one as it looked beautiful. After receiving it and marveling at how pretty it was, when I started typing on it, I realized it was just not a well designed keyboard. The typewriter look does NOT feel like the typewriters I have with the metal rims and glass tops. In the end, the keys also move side to side in ways that make it just hard to type consistently on. I WANTED to like this keyboard, but it just means Im going to have to build my own, using proper keys, and sturdier materials, if I ever want something that types as well as this looks.

> 3 dayThis keyboard is more for style art and fun, is perfectly acceptable, but shouldn’t be compared with a typical keyboard. My kid loves it, and doesn’t care at all that you need to be a bit more precise with the smaller keys. Nuff said.

Greater than one weekTLDR; Overall a great keyboard (for a new one that is). Definitely worth the price especially if youre looking to splurge on a keyboard but dont want to buy something that is Razer priced. I really do like the design and if anyone likes typewriters then this is probably a keyboard you will like. The round keys do take some getting used to after using square keys for so long but they are definitely sturdy with their tall base and metallic edges. The lighting is pretty alright. They dont have a massive slew of color options but its better than some of the equivalent and cheaper boards on the market. Also the base color is pretty easy to see (due to the tall and clear base) but the reflection from the metal overpowers the actual lighting for the keys themselves. The characters have this dull lighting compared to the base however it has an interesting effect whenever you press a key. I cant really speak on the gaming aspect. Ergonomically, its pretty great that it comes with its own wrist rest. Its only detachable via removing the screws but its still a nice addition. Like I stated previously, it takes awhile getting used to the smaller and round keys. I find that I accidentally press other keys if I start typing too fast more so on this than on square-key keyboards. Overall, I would definitely recommend purchasing this if you want something that looks different and would rather not spend the money for a razer keyboard. You get what you pay for and I personally feel like this is a much better alternative and is worth the price than keyboards within the same price range and less. Well see how long this thing lasts for.

Greater than one weekIve had it for about two months now, and so far so great! I love it. It was my first time buying a mechanical keyboard with these kind of plugs in it, so clickety-clack is louder than I expected, but Ive hot no complaints. I like how you can still see the etchings on the keys without them being backlit, which was my old keyboards problem. And since Im not bout that flashy life, Im glad that, with all the settings to make the lights act like waves, play something like infinite Lights Out, and...breathe, that they have a simple on/off for the lights, in addition to choosing your favorite color. All in all, its a great keyboard. Im glad I spent the extra money to get this design choice.

> 3 dayVery satisfying clicks when you type. Draws attention and great conversation starter. Different lighting combinations so you can have it flow with colors left to right or stay a constant color, its really up to you.

> 3 dayThis is really an excellent keyboard. The blue switches are even louder than expected compared to other blue switch keyboards Ive had in the past so keep this in mind. However, it is an extremely well made keyboard and the typing experience is just amazing from a box-to-desk, no modifications perspective. Pros: Biggest pro - all lighting can be controlled from the keyboard itself. No basic controls, then software required for the rest of it. And, it has a LOT of lighting options. Nicely done. All I wanted was a soft, blue-backlit keyboard with round keycaps. I got it. Ergonomics are better than average Build quality is top notch for off the shelf in this price range. Stable, weighty, not hollow sounding. Flip out wrist rest is well executed. Cons: Louder than normal blue switches. This may even kill it for me in the long run I dont know - BUT this is a preference thing, nothing to do with how amazing it performs. Functionally, it is a joy to type on. So... 5 stars, I would recommend to anyone in this price point. Caveat, I would warn of volume on Blues and recommend going for Reds which Im going to try if they offer a black version anytime soon.

> 3 dayIts a fantastic keyboard. I read the reviews pretty thoroughly and in the first two days everything is fantastic. I gave a good wiggle and click to each individual key to make sure each one is secured perfectly and functioned how they should. A few complains is that if left alone for several hours the keyboard shuts off and wont come back on unless re-seated. I tested this with my gaming desktop, started it up and walked away for several hours, my set has no sleep mode set. When I came back the keyboard was still on and full of color. On day one I played several different types of games with the keyboard for around 6-7 hours and it never became uncomfortable. Depending on the time of day I do change out the lighting to help me see the keys, but its so easy to change around its not even an inconvenience to do. I have a rather painful light sensitivity and the customizations made it very nice and very comfortable. After several different variations of use the only real negative comment I have is that the font is very annoying. It makes some letters look worn off and the @ sign looks like a u sign, the 0 looks like () and I just dont like it, but its my only complaint and its not even enough to drop a star from my review. The last major note in most reviews is that the silver rings on the keys being to fall off, but that doesnt seem to happen until between 1-6 months, so I may need to do an update at that point.
