> 24 hourI absolutely love this thing so far. It really just is a great keyboard. I love the form factor. It has all the keys of a full size keyboard, while being a more compact size. As a whole I hate linear switches though Im not sure if its the keyboard material or the gaterons, but these are less irritating than cherry reds. While aesthetically purple and off green wouldnt be my choice, it works on this keyboard better than Id expected. The variety of connectivity is excellent. Bluetooth has 3 profiles that you can switch between, and the 2.4 dongle has a nice hiding spot on the bottom of the keyboard. They cable that comes with the keyboard is very nicely matched and is of decent quality. The option of hotswappable keyswitches was my favorite option. Once I find my preferred switch I will swap them all out. Also the tools for pulling keycaps and switches are much nicer than the cheap ones that usually come with cheap keyboards. In terms of build quality this thing is a beast. Extremely solid and quite heavy. I assume it has some kind of metal plate/support build in. The keycaps, while not my preferred shape, have a great feel to them and dont clack as loud as some of my other keyboards. Lastly the RGB is decent. As far as keyboard RGB with built in controls, it is on the better end. The keys are fairly intuitive and its got a decent variety of functions. As a whole this keyboard is better than I could have expected for the price. The feel and function so far is great. Personally I cant wait to get the switches swapped out and have the optimal keyboard. Edit: While I still do quite like the feel and function of the keyboard, the hotswappable feature seems not great to me. I had hoped to swap these switches out for some nice tactile switches specifically I had picked out and bought some Zealios v2 78g switches. I didnt realize until I went to start swapping switches that, while the switches are compatible with the 5 pin layout, the leds on the board protrude and interfere with my new switches. This as a whole wouldnt be quite so upsetting to me if it had been mention at all in the listing, but all it says is 3 and 5 pin compatibility. Now Ive got over $100 worth of switches that I just cant use because the listing is non specific about its compatibility. In the end I still love the feel and function of this keyboard as a whole. However, it is extremely frustrating that, while I did check to verify compatibility on the switches before buying new ones, I am unable to use my new switches due to a completely different unlisted compatibility issue.

> 24 hourTD;LR This is a great value and will be purchasing additional ones for my daughters gaming setup and my office. When I ordered this keyboard all of the reviews besides one were vine reviews so I was skeptical about ordering it. The vine reviews were definitely correct, this keyboard is a phenomenal keyboard for the cost. It also does allow you to change the backlighting directly on the keyboard without added software, I had looked for this information but it didnt state it anywhere that I could see. Pros: It has 10 Key ( I ordered the Lava Brown108 version) and a standard layout which I needed for work The keycaps on it are a really nice texture and thickness The switches are really smooth and not super loud, which is my preference The keyboard itself is pretty heavy so it doesnt move while typing or gaming and it just makes me feel like its more of a quality build The colors of it match my WFH/Gaming setup perfectly and is very aesthetically pleasing The RGB lighting is great and with the software there are a ton of customizations and even changing them on the keyboard itself is easy and there are a ton of options Cons: I cant think of any Overall this is a great value and I am considering buying another one for when I have to work in office and my daughter requested one for her setup for Christmas. I would definitely recommend if you are looking for a decently priced keyboard that is great straight out of the box.

> 24 hourIve used many keyboards and I have to say this is one of my favorites! A keyboard with Bluetooth, 2.4 ghz connection, USB adapter and a wired connection. Ive tested the keyboard over a wired connection, Bluetooth, 2.4 ghz connection and with the adapter that came with the device. One issue I notice with many keyboards are issues with the Bluetooth connection. Normally I would notice slight disconnections with other Bluetooth keyboards Ive used in the past, but while playing games like World of Warcraft and others, I didnt notice any disconnections or delays at all. I also want to mention the build quality of this keyboard. It is sturdy. The RGB look good with many RGB options to choose from. Finding the website to download the RoyalAxe driver was the only issue Ive had with the keyboard. I tried multiple color combinations, my favorites are Light Shadow and Flowers Blooming. The keyboard comes with tools to remove the key caps and also comes with three replacement switches that can be swapped out if needed. I will continue to use this product for years to come because of the ease of use and functionality.

> 24 hourThis keyboard is decent. Gateron yellow switches are not bad. As for the typing experience, the keycaps they have make the typing on it terrible. I like that it’s wireless and the rgb pops but the keycaps ruin it. For the price there are better alternatives. Also color scheme isn’t a favorite but that’s personal preference

> 24 hourRight from the unboxing, you get the feeling of a premium product without the pricetag to match. Beautiful construction and high quality printing. Just a gorgeous little keyboard. I work from home and I have a Mac, PC, and Chromebook side by side. I also like to play PC games, so I was intrigued to try using one keyboard across my 3 operating systems. The wireless USB receiver went into the Mac, the USB cable went into the PC, and I set up the keyboard via Bluetooth on the Chromebook. Needless to say, it worked flawlessly. The biggest issue was remembering which hotkey connected to the correct platform. I started to miss my F key row after awhile simply from using them so much every day, so I dont think this setup is ideal for me but hey, its possible if thats what youre looking to do. As for gaming, its very responsive and I didnt enter any ghosting or missed inputs. The thock of each keystroke was satisfying to the ears and I swear I was typing faster at the end of the day. I hadnt tried any of the mechanical keyboards from Royalaxe, but Im definitely looking forward to seeing what else they put out.

> 24 hourThis is a sturdy keyboard thats really cool. You can sync it to your phone, Bluetooth devices, and use it as a wired or wireless keyboard. Its rechargeable and you can program the lights to do whatever you wish. The keys are more mechanical than others so you get that nice satisfying click when using it.

> 24 hourThis keyboard was snapped up because it reminiscent of the old Commodore keyboard. And it feels like the old Mac keyboards from back in the day. It has a light pressure touch but with significant pressure behind it. I am working with my iMac - so Im used to a compact keyboard without the numbers on the right. I had issues with connectivity via bluetooth with my Mac. I had to connect via the 2.4ghz and key and take up a USB spot in my hub, which was frustrating. I will try again after doing a bit of research. I do like the design and I like typing on it, only dropping it a star because of the bluetooth.

> 24 hourI am not one to write reviews, but this keyboard is amazing! I work from home and have gone through at least 3 high end keyboards that all stop working after a few weeks. I have only had this keyboard for about a month, but as soon as I took it out of the box I could tell it was great quality. Its a very well made and sturdy keyboard I enjoy using from my 9-5
