> 3 dayPositives: Nice quality keycaps Cheaper LEDs tend to have a flickery look to them if you move your eyes quickly or wave your hand in front. This keyboard barely has that Switches arent name brand Cherry MX Browns of course, but they imitate them fairly well Satisfying to type on Has 19 lighting modes Has Windows Key lock if desired Negatives: No way to raise the keyboard Wired only Review: This is a nice keyboard! I say this having tested quite a few mechanical keyboards now, including name brands and other generics. I dont *love* this keyboard like I have with some others, but given the value its great, and even has less shortcomings than a lot of higher end keyboards Ive tested. Some noteworthy things: * A lot of functions youd expect for a full size keyboard rely on the FN key, such as Home, Print Screen, and the entire F row of keys. * Theres no included way to raise this keyboard up for a better typing angle * Backlight can be disabled if desired Overall this seems like a great keyboard for someone looking for a cheap entry to mechanical keyboards! It compares handily with most $70 mechanical keyboards Ive tried

> 3 dayThis is a really nice, especially for the price, entry-level intro to mechanical keyboards. You cant change the color of the lights which is a bit sad but the keyboard still looks great. the keys all work without issue and they have a really nice feel to them when you type. One thing to mention if you want to play around with replacing the keycaps is that since this is a 60% keyboard, if you get a regular keycap kit it wont have keys that fit a handful of the smaller-sized keys, most will work without issue although you will also lose the shortcut symbols that this keyboard comes with. Overall very happy with this as an intro model to mechanical keyboards.

> 3 dayIm using this keyboard in a dental office clinical setting so its not being used for gaming or constant typing. The white color gives it a clean/sterile appearance appropriate for a medical or dental office. I have no need for the LED lighting so wont be able to comment on that although it appears to have a set pattern & not fully customizable except for 3 levels of brightness. The keyboard is very compact so saves lots of room on the countertop but it is fairly thick so you will definitely need a wrist rest if youre going to be using it for more than an hour or two. Keystroke travel is deep (probably twice as deep as those on a laptop) and the red switches are supposed to be quiet but you can still hear the clicking as you type which may be objectionable in the bedroom for some who are light sleepers. The compactness & removable USB cable makes it convenient for travel but it requires a learning curve since most keys have multiple functions. I wish the labeling on the keys is more legible or at least easier on the eyes. Either make it darker or color code the different functions on each key for easier typing. I believe it will get easier with use and practice.

> 3 dayI ordered the version of this keyboard with brown switches, and right out of the box the board has a good heft to it. The housing is plastic, but it doesnt feel cheap. The keycaps are ok, but it does come with a keycap puller if you want to swap them out. The switches feel decent, and the overall sound isnt bad. The board is slightly high, so I would suggest using a palm rest if you plan on using this keyboard for longer periods of time. The only few gripes I had with this keyboard were that the switches were soldered in (not hot-swappable) and that there are no adjustable legs in the back to adjust the angle. But overall, for the price, this is a great keyboard for someone who wants a mechanical keyboard without the hobbyist pricetag.

> 3 dayI have to say that this is a great keyboard. The keys click similar to the older style IBM clicky keyboards. I did not expect the keys to be illuminated. This is great for people that need to glance at the keyboard in the dark. I also discovered that the keyboard features different light show modes. Most are different wave animations and sort of breathing animations. One of the modes is a keypress light show that light up the keys you press sort of like water waves. Except for the steady light mode, I find most of the light effects a novelty and not particularly utilitarian. Besides a long white USB-A to USB-C cable and manual with Function key actions, it also came with a mysterious white plastic ring or poop object with clips. Nowhere in the manual does it describe the purpose of this plastic ring. Anywho, the keyboard is great. I use it instead of my laptop’s mushy keys for most typing. The illuminated keys make it easy for my fingers to find their way in the dark (I can’t type properly).

> 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 dayOne color, blue, on white keys. Wired only. Works great with my series X for chat. Blue switches are clicky and responsive. I cant complain. Simple wired mechanical keyboard. Good stuff.

> 3 dayFirst of all, I am not a keyboard guru. I mostly use them to type and run a computer functions. I do have years of experience with keyboards of all types and price ranges. On this basis I will not be measuring the key responsiveness by nano seconds but I will be rating it by my own standards. The keys have a good feel and the key presses register well. The size of the keys is good but different enough from my previous keyboard that i fumble some of the keys while touch typing. This will likely correct itself as I get used to the keys. The lighting effects and interesting and can be controlled with certain keypresses and the Fn key. The lights can be turned off and on, sped up and slowed down, brightness can be increased and decreased. The lights can also be alway on and always off. While the lighting effects can be changed it doesnt appear they can be fully customized. There are just the set patterns. The keyboard comes with a detachable cable. The connection on the keyboard side is USB-C the other end of the cable is USB-A. This should work with most of the computers but if your laptop only has USB-C you may want to get another one. At least it is replaceable. I wis there was a way to adjust the angle of the keyboard as it feels a little too flat for me. Others may like this angle as it seems very popular these days. Overall a good keyboard with a very solid feel and easy to use.
