Obviously there are better mechanical keyboards out there, but I don't think you'll find one for less than $30 better than this. I went with the blue switches because I am personally a fan of clicky switches. Following are my pros and cons PROS -Affordable as hell, seriously if you have the money to buy a crappy membrane keyboard then you have the money to buy one of these - Ergonomic design. The back rows of keys are slightly higher than the lower rows which make for a very comfortable and easy to type on design. I usually take a few days to adapt to a new keyboard but this one just felt good right off the bat. - Consistent and decent quality switches. I've used cheaper keyboards before and they usually have some QC issues with some switches having a completely different feel from others, but everything is consistent and feels the same on this one. CONS - The switches sound a bit "twangy". There is a higher pitch sound to the switches that other blue's don't suffer from. This was mitigated by sticking a few adhesive foam pads inside the PCB tray, but without the foam the switches were kind of annoying, and I've been using various blues for 10 years now. -Variances in the different colored key caps. The keyboard comes with some red and black keycaps to replace the default grey ones, and they sound difference is STARK. The red caps sound light and metallic, while the blacks sound heavy and thuddy. I replaced the default grey space bar with a red one and it has a very very obvious sound difference from the rest of the keys. -It's not hotswapable, the entire PCB is soldered and doing any kind of customization is nearly impossible.

I got this keyboard for my gaming pc because the other keyboard i had was massive. this is a nice usbc keyboard. the keys are very sensitive. but that actually works out in my favor when game playing. it also came with extra keys off color so i could swap out the awsd keys and a few others. they were easy to swap out and replace. and the lights are decent. there are multiple options on the light effects as well which is a nice touch.

Great keyboard for gaming, It comes with extra light up features and they're definitely above and beyond for a $30 keyboard. It connects through a USB C cable, so no battery life. The keys are loud because it's a mechanical keyboard. Typing feels very comfortable. The color I chose wasn't what I expected; however I'm still very satisfied with my order and would highly recommend as a great budget keyboard.

I wanted a keyboard for travel with a pad. I'm super-fussy about keyboards because I write for a living. I wanted the smallest possible keyboard with a mechanical touch. (I really hate laptop-style keyboards with no "feel".) This is it. The keys are full size, so don't be confused by the "60% size" product description--that just refers to the overall footprint. The space-saving design omits F1 through F12 keys but you can get them by pressing the Fn key with keys 1 through 0 , -, and =. The tab, caps lock, shift keys, and enter keys are normally sized; there is no compromise there. The enter, backslash, and backspace keys are also full size. The cursor keys are well placed. The one compromise is they omitted Home and End keys, but PgUp, PgDn, Ins, and Del are all there. Backlight is activated by pressing Fn with cursor-up or cursor-down. There are four levels of brightness (plus you can switch it off), and you can also activate some entertaining lighting effects which I found unnecessary. My one complaint is that the keyboard is a little bit heavy for traveling. But the size is perfect and the key touch is just perfect. This keyboard has received some negative views which I find confusing. A couple reviewers complain that the keyboard has an auto-off feature, but mine doesn't have that; it stays on. A reviewer complained about poor manufacturing finish, but the finish on my keyboard here is excellent. I hardly ever give 5 stars to anything, but this keyboard deserves it.

It's small, so it's portable. Works well. Nice and clicky! Backlight only comes in one color, but you can adjust the brightness and pattern it appears in. Came with spare key caps. Only complaint is that the kickstands are slightly uneven so it wobbles while I'm typing at times. Overall, it's a nice gaming keyboard for the price.
