> 3 dayhave a corsair k56 which is insane keyboard. its almost too responsive.. this keyboard has a longer travel and more mechanical feel than the fast linear silver corair keyboard I bring up the corsair because this keyboard has almost the exact weight and design to it... insane for the price. I hope the switches are swappable. that would just be insane.

> 3 dayThe keyboard has a nice hefty weight and feels sturdy. Its the width of a portable/compact keyboard, but its much thicker and heavier. The clicks on this model produce a soothing sound while typing, reminiscent of old electronic typewriters. A USB-C cable is included to connect to your computer, and it has a single-color backlight with adjustable brightness. The key caps come off, but the switches can not be replaced as in some mechanical keyboard models. All in all, this is a great compact mechanical keyboard for the price.

> 3 dayI wanted a mechanical keyboard that did not include a number pad. This fits the bill perfectly. The cord is a USB-C cable so if you need a longer cord it is easy to replace.

Greater than one weekI am a PC guy, and I am rather picky about the keyboard I use. This is the first TKL keyboard I have owned, and even though I was highly skeptical, it instantly became my main keyboard. Im not even a fan of white peripherals myself, but I would totally buy this keyboard again without hesitating. Construction does seem to be mostly plastic, but it doesnt at all feel like a cheap keyboard. The one thing I wish is that it had a longer cable, but it is a standard USB C, so its not hard to get longer cables or even extensions if your setup is kind of spread out like mine is. Spectacular keyboard for the price.

> 3 dayI like compact keyboards but I dont care for 60% keyboards because they do not have an F key row and the arrow keys are smashed into each other. That said - this keyboard feels very good to type on. The blue style switches are great and I dont know who makes them but they feel almost as good as cherry blues, better than razer greens. Dont expect to find macro keys or other gaming features but the backlighting is nice and strong and uniform. Keycaps can be swapped out easily if youre into that sort of thing. The included usb C to USB A cable is handy but I assume we all have our own cables these days. Very good overall.

Greater than one weekThe keyboard I had prior to this one was a 60% and very clacky, but very good, my main issue was that it didnt have dedicated arrow keys. When I saw this (I would say, 62%) keyboard with arrows and quieter red switches, I thought what the heck, lets give it a shot. I have to say Im pleasantly surprised. Im not a huge lighting effects guy, but these are subtle enough and easily controllable that it doesnt bother me, and having it backlit is nice. Comes with a little instruction page and a keycap remover tool so you can swap keycaps or clean the keyboard.

> 3 dayI tested a handful of cheap gaming keyboards. I can recommend this one without any caveats. Its not particularly fancy, I found it pretty easy and enjoyable to use. I think its great for the price. As far as the look of this keyboard, I like the simple all white keycaps with. It is backlit, but only in a blue-ish white color. I like the aesthetic because its not trying to look like an *xtreme gamer* keyboard. I could take this into my office and use it without feeling silly. In fact, this would totally work for the cozy gamer aesthetic. I found the keyboard to be a pleasure to use. I like that it has dedicated arrow keys (the other 60% keyboard that I tested did not). The red switches feel responsive, and arent noisy like blue switches. It actually felt as good to type on as another keyboard I tested that was 3 times the price. I was impressed. This, of course, is the most important feature of the keyboard: typing. It connects via a USB-C cable that is included. Its not a coiled aviator-style cable, which is a little bit of a bummer. However, it should be compatible with any USB cable to fit whatever look youre going for. I think its a fine trade-off if this is how they keep the price low... as opposed to cutting corners on the keyboard itself. The question with budget gear almost always ends up being the longevity of the tech. As always, Ill update this review if the keyboard fails over time.
