Good:
Feels great, looks great
Bad:
2.4ghz dongle came apart inside my usb port on first try, see picture
Can’t do “cntrl+alt+delete” without having to reset keyboard afterwards (fn+spacebar to reset). “Left control+alt+Fn+backspace” does nothing, “right control+alt+fn+backspace” gets the desired result but firstly that is awkward and secondly it changes the keyboard settings so you can’t use the numbers unless you do a reset (fn+spacebar).
Update: After leaving this review RK contacted me and gave me a 50% refund for the damaged dongle. They also offered a full refund if I returned it or an exchange. I have now raised my review to reflect this.
As the other reviews stated, the fact that the bottom right area was always set to arrow keys by default was a dealbreaker for me. But it turns out that with FN + Enter, you can permanently toggle between the modes for that particular section, fixing the problem entirely. Though there is a really irritating bind that’s not mentioned anywhere: FN + LeftCtrl will toggle layers across the entire board. This has makes it impossible to make any kind of Ctrl + Arrow hotkey without first flipping the arrow mode as described above. I’ve forgotten several times and had to waste time cycling layers again until they’re back to default.
Past that, this is a great board. No rattle on any of the stabilisers, nice deep sound on all keys.
The RGB lighting could be brighter, and the Orange tone looks like an awful yellow rather than actual Orange, but with the software you can set your own custom RGB values and they’re saved directly to the board, so I was able to sort that quickly too.
All in all, really happy with my purchase! Perfect budget board for anyone who wants to get into Mechanical keyboards, with the potential to swap in newer switches without any soldering if you want to experiment.
This is my first ever wireless 60% keyboard. I was looking at a mechanical keyboard and due to the high praise on this I thought to try it out.
My God is the price so worth it.
Mine is full rib and its soooooo customisable but if you don’t need the light you can turn it off for a more subtle keyboard. Feels great pairs both with my windows and MacBook laptops through Bluetooth and the latency is low.
I don’t use it for gaming so cannot comment on that but the look feel and features it’s a steal at this price point. Highly recommended
Looks good, sounds good, small in size, decent price, overall would buy agai
Keyboard is brilliant and just what I wanted. It seems well built (surprisingly heavy), connects via bluetooth perfectly, and is really nice to use (bought the brown switch). The colour changing looks awesome – I keep it on the mode that cycles through the colours constantly but it has plenty of modes to choose from. After spending a long time browsing keyboards I’m definitely happy I picked this one.
Keyboard is great overall. Good weight, nothing feels cheap about it, very nice.
A few things to point out though. The keyboard does not come with a dongle so make sure your motherboard has bluetooth or you already have a multi use bluetooth dongle.
I went for the tactile brown switches and they feel and sound good without being too loud. The only problem I have with any of the keys is that the space bar makes more of a hollow ‘clunk’ sound than a click which isn’t nice sounding or ideal… Not sure if this is down to build quality or the brown switches. This in no way puts me off the keyboard, I’m still delighted, just something to keep in mind.
Awesome keyboard all around. Mechanical switches are quick af, lighting options look great. Battery life is good and the build feels very high quality.
Only caveat? Even with brown -silent- switches, it is loud. My office mates definitely know when I’m typing and when I’m no
Nothing present for grandson birthday he loved it great value and true to picture
Great quality feeling, and much heavier than anticipated. I bought the gateron brown switches and the feel and sound are great. Usb c charging and connection is good, and much more convenient than micro usb. The Bluetooth connection has been very fast and reliable thus far. Very happy with the purchase
The clicking of the keys is very satisfying, I use it for work and it was easy to adjust to the layout as it’s so similar to a full size keyboard but occupying a fraction of the space. Easy to pair to my Surface, and no cables is a dream.
