I’ve talked about this keyboard so much already that one of my friends will be getting one, also. I purchased it to use with the Microsoft Surface Pro 9, but I’ve also tested it with a Mac Mini, an iPhone 15 and an iPad Mini. It will pair with a much older iPad Pro but a warning appeared that said it could interfere with Bluetooth and USB connectivity, so I did unpair it from that device. First of all, it’s a super solid build that comes packaged impressively. The feel of it is like a vintage electric typewriter from the 1970s. It is easy to type on, and the size and cupped nature of the keys are perfect. They’ve even brought back a tiny notch on the F and J so I know I’m oriented properly. It came charged up enough to be able to use it right away. The price was about half what I expected. So far, I have never run out of battery life because I use it wired to a laptop part of the time, so it always recharges for when I want to use it wirelessly with Bluetooth. One of the other reviewers mentioned that they could do without the lights. The lights do add something. I am usually distracted by this sort of thing, but these don’t bother me, maybe because I am a touch typist and I’m not looking down while I type. Still, if I knew how to turn them off, I might do that on occasion. For one thing, they made it hard to see when the keyboard was in pairing mode. But that is a minor point. I was concerned at first by one review that said theirs quit working after several months, but the manufacturer’s sticker states that the keyboard has a full two-year warranty, so they stand behind their product. Even my son, who has worked in IT said “mechanical is the way to go.” I should mention the clicking…it is satisfying but not by any means stealthy, especially if you are a very fast typist. I’m not too worried about the sound since I’m in my own space most of the time.

There is a lot to like about this keyboard. The key layout is good. The weight is good. I did not need wireless 2.4ghz or bluetooth, but they may come in useful at some point in the future. Key remapping stored in firmware. This is a major plus. You need a Windows or Mac system to use the software but the changes are stored in the keyboard itself, so once you set them they continue to work on systems that do not have the software. I keep a Windows system around for just such things. I could do without the unicorn vomit but at least it's easy to turn off.This keyboard comes with gateron yellow switches. I did not quite know what to expect. They are smooth and comfortable but weighty. Comparing it to a cheap rubber dome keyboard, this one feels much more refined. However, it's not any faster. The yellows are more.. relaxing than quick.I swapped the switches with gateron clear. The clears are much faster for typing but noisy. Perhaps I needed a middle ground. I'll keep them for about a month before I decide if I want to try something else. When I swapped the switches the win key stopped working. However, using the reset option with the software it came back. Not sure why.This keyboard lacks an End key. Not a big deal. I never use scroll lock, so I just reassigned that to end.

I've had this keyboard for over a year now and I absolutely love it! I run linux and appreciate not needing a driver to be able to change the light functions as it's all done onboard. The switches all feel lovely, the lights look great, and the keys are smooth and well made.

I like this keyboard a lot, It's the only keyboard I have been using since I purchased it and it still performs very well.The RGB is bright however for this colorway of keyboard RGB doesn't look good on it however I use it whenever I'm typing in the dark and need to see my keys. I wish the keycaps it came with were see through or clear on the letters/symbols so the RGB would make it easier to tell what keys you're pressing in the dark. The keyboards clickiness sound is considered "thocky" this keyboard is hot-swappable so you can switch the switches to get whatever desired click sound you want. Durable and not bad for the price. I'd recommend for beginner keyboard enthusiasts.

Great replacement for my old Redragon keyboard. I love the design of it, I get a smaller type keyboard that still has a 10-key pad. That is the main reason I wanted a new keyboard, my old mechanical one does not have the 10-key pad and being in college, having to take mathematics courses sucked with no number key pad. They keycaps are looking sick af and have a good heft to them, they feel heavy and quality but not so heavy they are detrimental. The casing is plastic but a good quality plastic, thick. Keycap colors are lovely. The switches are not what I am used to, I had browns before this that had a clicky sound, these yellows are quieter and feel just a tad mushy. I didn't think I would like them but after a few days I am used to it and like them. Backlighting is awesome as well.Overall I would highly recommend this keyboard to anyone looking for a new mechanical keyboard with a satisfying typing experience and quality build. This will last you for years to come, plus it is hotswappable so you can fully customize this bad boy.
