> 24 hourI have gone through a few different keyboards lately and by far this is the best! I love how many devices it can pair to and how easy it is to toggle between them. The clicking isn’t an overly obnoxious noise and you still get that amazing click feeling when you type. The changing lights is a fun bonus not to mention how adorable the brown is. Highly recommend this keyboard!

> 24 hourI was shocked by how great this keyboard is. It is sturdy and the switches and caps are great. The sound created by the combination of the base, switches and keycaps is really fantastic. Its solid and not hollow without any sharpness to the click. The backspace key positioning is taking a little getting used to but other than that, absolutely top notch keyboard.

> 24 hourIve been using mechanical keyboards for quite some time. I generally prefer full-size keyboards, complete with the numeric keypad, but these obviously take up some extra room on my desk. For some tasks (video editing, photoshop work, etc.) I need a bit more desk space for other devices, and so a small keyboard seemed like it might do the trick. Im not a fan of any of the color schemes, but I went with the Lava Brown because I prefer darker keys. The knob on the side looks ridiculous and out of place. Connectivity was fine in any of the modes (at least, on a Windows 11 PC... I didnt try it on a Mac). I used it in wireless as this is a only sometimes keyboard for me and I dont want to play with wires all the time. Key feel and response is excellent. Has a nice sound to it that isnt annoying in the way that some keyboards can be. There is no built-in adjustment to raise the back angle as you might have on other keyboards. The big problem for me is the key arrangement on the right-hand side. I know they had to minimize, but some of the decisions are truly questionable. The biggest issue for me is the Backspace key. It is small and normal-sized, instead of the wider key cap that you would normally find here. I tend to reach for this key a lot, and this throws me off. There are also some shifting around of the keys in the lower-right quadrant for space saving reasons. It just feels like things are in the wrong place. If you look at the larger models, you can see that many of these issues are resolved there, so it is strictly a space minimization trade off.

REMY REVIEWS
> 24 hourA surprising amount of weight to this keyboard considering the compact nature of it. My first time using gateron yellow switches and I am thoroughly enjoying them. Very quiet and a nice smooth action. They include four extra switches in the box which is a nice bonus. They also include the tools to remove keys and switches which, again, is a nice bonus. A rotary switch which allows you to change modes. Those modes being wired, BT 5.0 and 2.4Ghz. Ive tested each and they all seem to work just fine. This nifty switch does not come without its drawbacks as it seems to be the reason for a single key backspace. It doesnt actually seem to be an issue for me as I originally thought it may be, though, as my typing seems to align well with the size and position of the key but I can see that being a problem for a lot of people. RGB lighting. All sorts of lighting effects and colors. Its not really my thing and I just keep it on a single color but going through them all just to test what they do and how well they work, everything seems good. An angle which cannot be adjusted, which I would consider a not-quite-major con, but the angle seems fine for me. All of this being an initial impression, I will continue using this as my daily driver for the next several months and I will come back to update this review if any problems arise or if I find anything I consider worth mentioning.

> 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 hourFirst of all - the color is stunning and a whole vibe. Secondly, I LOVE THIS KEYBOARD. I seldomly get this excited over anything but its totally worth every penny. Its a little heavy compared to my other keyboards but I appreciate that. The keyboard has a Bluetooth function that worked seamlessly! Its rare anything I own with Bluetooth doesnt have some type of issue. The keys on this keyboard click incredibly pleasantly and smoothly - both for feeling and hearing. I had to adjust a bit because its a smaller keyboard but I really enjoy the clicking and the way it feels when I type. Its definitely not a loud mechanical one so if youre looking for that this isnt the one for you. I think if Id order it again Id get the bigger size!

> 24 hourEverything down to the packaging it arrived in was exceptional! The only real gripe i have is with the colour scheme- seeing as it isnt exactly flattering to look at. But other than that, Id give it 5 stars.

> 24 hourIt was heavier than what Im used to, and it felt comfortable to the touch. A definite upgrade compared to what I used to have. Id say that Ill probably buy this again if I were to choose.

> 24 hourI have to say that this is the best keyboard I have ever owned by far. Better than all my friends keyboards as well. Everything about it is awesome except for one thing, and that is that the keys lettering should have been clear so that the rgb would light them up. It is disappointing that they got so much right to the point that I do not want to replace the keycaps, but that leaves me with hard to see symbols at night, hence the 4 stars. If they had keycaps in this color combo with clear lettering I would immediately give this 5 stars. The keyboard feels premium. While not adjustable for incline, I find it to be an extremely comfortable angle. The weight is amazing. Very heavy, and stays put while in use as the rubberized feet are very grippy. The switches and keycaps along with the construction create a typing experience on par with a custom keyboard that would cost twice as much to build by hand. The stabilizers require nothing. It is an extremely quiet keyboard stock. I do like the switches, and was hesitant to replace them as I had originally intended when ordering (facilitated by this being hot swappable), but I did end up buying clicky switches as thats my preference. The switches it came with almost convinced me no to though. Rgb works flawlessly out of the box with no need in my mind for an application on the PC, wireless and wired modes all work great (though Ive had better range via 2.4ghz on other keyboards). The ease of use of the bluetooth shines here, switching between 3 different devices with a simple button press. Battery lasts about one or two computer sessions, so somewhere around 8 hours or more for me.
