EXCEPTIONAL REACTIVITY
When it comes to wireless peripherals, the main concern is often about having a longer response time and lower reactivity. With the KLIM Light V2 you will quickly forget it is a wireless keyboard as you will be surprised by its execution speed, comparable to a wired keyboard. With a very low response time, it is one of the best-performing keyboard in its category!

MULTICOLOURED BACKLIGHTINGThe KLIM Light V2 features multi-coloured backlighting with a fixed pattern. It is perfect in the dark, with each key glowing intensely so you can see them clearly. You can also notice the backlighting during the day: the keyboard will shine on your desktop. If you prefer a more serious setting, you can reduce its brightness or simply switch off the backlighting with the press of a button. The keyboard’s energy-saving mode will temporarily turn off the backlighting after 2 minutes of idle time in order to extend its battery life. Note: the colour pattern cannot be modified. | ACCURATE AND FAST TYPINGThe KLIM Light V2 features thin keys that reduce activation distance and therefore incraese your typing speed. Its fast wireless receiver ensure that all your keystrokes are registered quickly and accurately. This speed increase is a considerable time-saver in the long run! | ULTRA DURABLEMade with ABS, a particularly resistant thermoplastic, the KLIM Light V2 is a very robust keyboard! Truly built to last, you won’t have to worry about accidental drops or even water splashes. With a life expectancy of 10 000 000 keystrokes, it will be with you for at least a decade. |

The lighting intensity is great, I wanted it mainly for the night time but even during the day it looks great. I love that it is wireless. I think the battery lasts like 3 days – I am a designer – without turning it off at all. The space bar started doing a strange sound from day one… but it actually doesn’t annoy me as I usually wear a headset, the rest of the keys are very silent, which I wanted for those times I am at a meeting and I don’t want people to hear my keyboard – if I can’t mute myself. I really like the feeling of the keys which is something I was concerned about, I wanted something strong but soft.
Unlike most people reviews here mine was sealed and work right out the box with no issues.
Purchased this product as I needed something sturdy with back-lit lighting. After a few products I stumbled upon this. Perfect and does the job. Highly recommended
Bought this for my grandson for his gaming and he loves it can’t see him go back to wired keyboard
Prefect. I mean not much more needs to be said.
Buttons too thick and loud.
The charge lasts a good time.
Nice colours
All ok as expected! Great quality, lasts few days on a single charge, USB-C charging makes it even better!
I love the look of this keyboard and that you can adjust the brightness or turn it off entirely.
I really like that it’s wireless except when it needs to charge (battery lasts well)
One of the feet broke (completely my fault) and I emailed asking for a replacement and they sent me out a replacement. Fantastic customer service, very polite and quick responses. I’m not a computer person but I will buy all my accessories from KLIM from now on.
Very easy to set up and the keys feel really comfortable to use.
Been using it for 2 weeks now.. Much sturdier than you expect,, For the price, this is excellent.
Haven’t experienced any lags while using this keyboard,, Battery life is good and lasts for a week inspite constant use of 9 hours everyday… Backlight exceptionally good and has added a touch of bling to my home office:)
Really happy with the purchase and will stick to KLIM for future use 🙂
Amazing product no complaints whatsoever with a battery time that lasts over 24hours, plug in the reciver and you’re ready to go. Had an issue that klim resolved immediately, would recommend the product/company to anyone.
It’s great. Keys are quiet but responsive. I like the colours and how if you don’t use it for a bit the lights go out. I like that is wireless. The keys are all in the conventional arrangement . Its bad points are that it’s keys attract dust and fingerprints and the charging light doesn’t appear to go out when fully charged.
Brilliant and responsive. Bought as a birthday present for someone to use with their Xbox and it’s been fantastic! 100% recommend!
I am very hard on keyboards and needed to replace my old Microsoft 850 wireless keyboard (many of the key decals had worn away in under a year). I bought both the standalone KLIM Light V2 keyboard and the KLIM Tandem wireless keyboard and mouse set (I believe it is the same keyboard). One of the things that persuaded me to try this keyboard was how quickly the KLIM team responded to some queries I had – customer service seems to be very important to them.
I have been using this keyboard now for a couple of weeks now and it hasn’t missed a beat. I have found the keyboard keys (membrane) to be very nicely weighted with a good positive action and reasonably quiet (most of the noise is coming from me being so heavy handed. The chassis (plastic) is very sturdy with no flex. I use the keyboard mostly for work so it gets battered for about 7-10 hours per day and, despite it being 8 days since I last charged it, there is no sign of the low battery light yet (although I have mostly had the backlighting turned off).
I particularly like
– that it has num lock and caps lock lights (missing from my previous keyboard).
– two little legs underneath to raise the back of the keyboard (I might have liked a little bit higher, but that is personal preference)
– vertical full size ‘Return’ key on main keyboard (I make too many typos on keyboards with the horizontal ‘Return’ key)
– backlighting is easy to turn off and on and to set brightness to one of 3 levels)
Suggestions
– make the feet to elevate the back slightly taller
– produce a monochrome version (blue or white light)
Overall I am absolutely delighted with my KLIM keyboards and believe them to be great value for money.
his is the newer model keyboard from klim and it is superior to the older model, my only gripe is that amazon doesnt make it expressly clear which model is newer and so you are left to do a little research, but hey, i guess they have old stock to get rid of or whatever so i cant blame them.
the actual keybord its self is flawless, i use it in an arm chair about 5 meters from my pc and it doesnt miss a stroke.
I am by no means a pro gamer but im pretty good and this keyboard allows me to play from my sofa once i get sick of my gaming chair and the value of that cannot be over stated.
the lights are good, i use it at the lowest setting, which allows me to see each and every key in pitch blackness, honestly i dont know how long the battery lasts because i have never actually needed to charge it, i do of course out of caution every 3-4 days but so far the low battery sinnal has never even flashed.
all the other companies out there want atleast 80 – 150 for a product with similar features and im sure their keyboards are probably a little better, but i very seriously doubt that they are worth a minimum of 3X the price.
if you want a wireless keyboard you are basically a bit dumb if you dont buy this one.
Also the customer service is genuinly excellent, i spoke with adrien when i had a little issue and he had it cleared up within literal hours.
Very easy to get it to work. Nice looking. good quality keyboard. so pleased
Great battery life and very cool – could do with a touch more brightness
I will admit that originally the product turned up and I had an issue charging it. These things happen. What doesn’t normally happy is when you contact customer support and they go above and beyond to sort your problem out as quickly as they can, providing a replacement within a matter of days. Once I got hands on with the working replacement product though, I can say that I am impressed. It does everything you would expect it to. The battery lasts a good while, it charges easily with the cable provided, the wireless works with no noticeable delay and no drop-outs. I can really impressed with this purchase and I’m glad I could find such a reasonably priced rechargeable wire-less keyboard in the UK format. Would definitely recommend.
I’ve been looking for one like this long time
I’m so so happy very good keyboard
And fast delivery
Now my wife can sleep in the dark when I’m playing game lol
The feel to the key is amazing to start off with. Right out of the box it has been amazing. The keyboard is waterproof (not like I’ve tried it…) & Customer support is super fast.
it’s great. thought it would be brighter tho if I’m being really picky
Love this keyboard, it’s a keyboard, what else can I say about a keyboard apart from “I love it”
Fantastic product, brilliant customer services and premium product! Sturdy, responsive and has a really premium feel!
Clavier fidle la description. Jolie couleur. La finition des touches n’est pas super et les touches sont un peu dur, un peu dommage.
0our le pris le clavier est bien surtout pour un QWERTY en livr en France.
Very pretty keyboard! Nice colours and it is quiet, I wouldn’t say silent but it’s quieter than the one it’s replacing.
It’s easy to use, i haven’t had any wireless issues at all.
All buttons seem to work well and respond well too.
Great keyboard
This keyboard is lightweight but sturdy, has compact robust feet and feedback from the keys is good, whilst the surface of the keysfield ever so slightly textured again improving the user experience. The key mechanism feels robust and the coloured lights of the keys and just the right level to make the keys stand out clearly but not excessively drain the battery.
Pleased with the overall construction and quality and had no issues setting this up with Bluetooth it was plug and play without any problems
Top keyboard, good feedback on the keys. It would be better if you got more of a heads up with the battery and if there was a push button on top to conserve battery rather than the switch on the back.
Have been using this for the last week and it’s very good. I’ve tried a few cheap keyboards, and this is one of the better ones. Medium height keys and travel, not too noisy, good battery life so far when the RGB is on a low brightness. We really don’t have any complaints!
KLIM Light V2 Wireless Keyboard UK Layout + Slim, Durable, Ergonomic, Silent Keys + Backlit Wireless Gaming Keyboard For Laptop PC Mac PS4 Xbox One+ Long-lasting Built-In Battery + NEW 2020
In the box.
The keyboard with fixed USB cable and simple instructions.
Features.
Programmable keys for Office and game use, you can change the backlight colour and it has a non-slip base.
Set up.
It is plug and play so nothing to do as Windows 10 finds it automatically.
In use.
It is marketed as a gaming keyboard but can also be used for internet surfing and Office tasks. The keys have some travel but feel a bit dead. This is a membrane keyboard rather than a switched keyboard like more expensive gaming ones. However, it does feel much better to use than the general entry level keyboard you get with a new machine. The keyboard makes little noise when typing and this may be important if you are using it late at night. The backlight is very helpful and looks very nice. It draws its power from the USB socket so no batteries required for this feature. You can also switch it off. I find it nice to use and its very quiet so you can use it at night without making too much noise. It is ok for games but only for occasional use. If you are a hardened gamer you will need a more robust keyboard and one with mechanical switches according to my son.
Overall.
A decent all-round keyboard from KLIM which can be used for gaming. It is nice to type on and the backlight is useful. The build quality is excellent too. Overall a much better keyboard than the entry level ones.
This keyboard is lightweight and really isn’t the loudest. The only negative point, which has therefore lost one of the five stars, is because it is not possible to change colours. It comes with some colours by default that you can see from my photos and the most you can do is to increase or decrease the brightness.
A very cool keyboard! The build quality is great, and it looks and feels both solid and decent. Comes in well-presented packaging with thoughtful messages from the manufacturing company which is a nice touch.
Pros:
– very responsive wireless keyboard — no lags so far playing games or using it for work.
– premium feel and construction quality. Slightly textured offering great grip.
– Aesthetically very pleasing
– LED light colour backing is pretty cool — brightness can be adjusted or dimmed according to needs.
– battery life is phenomenal. I have been using mine daily for nearly a month (about 8 hours daily) and did not recharge it yet.
– has a built-in battery that only needs charging so very economical to run as opposed to disposable batteries.
– USB-C charging cable — very convenient.
– very lightweight and compact.
– keystrokes are much quieter than other gaming keyboards. Typing is also a smooth experience.
– has a tiny slip at each end at the bottom of the keyboard to prop it up for comfort.
Cons:
None so far at all. But you can’t change the colour of the LED lighting to a single solid one, and that doesn’t matter to me at all.
I would be very happy to recommend — this is an excellent wireless gaming keyboard that looks and feels great and its performance exceeds expectations. Functional and delivers everything stated in the description and more. Well done!
If this review helped, please click on the ‘helpful’ button to let others know! Thanks
This keyboard is beautiful and very comfortable. Its size and weight are good if you like to carry it around.
It has some nice lighting options. When not being used, you can store the usb dongle inside the back of the keyboard. The only thing I didn’t like about it was it doesn’t clip into its slot . I had to use the little sticker that came with it to keep it from falling.
I use it for everyday typing and for gaming, not disappointed.
It may not be a mechanical keyboard but has every other characteristic and feature you’d want from a gaming keyboard. I’d consider myself a gamer and I loved using using this keyboard. The RGB on the keyboard is amazing with the ability to change the colours and patterns using the keyboard. I would’ve preferred using an app of some sort to do so but for the price you can’t complain. It’s also wireless with no noticeable latency which makes it great for FPS shooters where you need those quick response reactions. With the LED lights on, the keyboard lasts quite a while on battery however I prefer to just keep it plugged in so I don’t have to have to worry about charging it.
Overall, if you’re looking for a keyboard for console or PC and you’re on a right budget, or if you’re looking for something portable, I’d highly recommend this keyboard. This keyboard is a no brainier especially for the price and the stunning RGB!
This is replacing an old keyboard that I have had for sometime so i am very happy to have been given the chance to try this.
It has so many great features from the multi coloured backlighting that can be seen in both daylight and night, and also like how the backlight can be adjusted.
I was worried about it being wireless, i worried about there being a lag, and slow response but that is not the case at all it’s perfect and the quality and reactivity is superb.
The keyboard is also very silent to use so doesn’t bother others, and have actually found this keyboard has helped me to type even faster.
The quality of the keyboard is great its strong and robust and has clearly been made to last.
Overall i love this keyboard and now I couldn’t be without it.
Despite being compact, this is a full keyboard with all function buttons and a numeric keyboard on the side.
Is this a gaming keyboard? Depends on the game I guess, it seems a bit too delicate for rough games where often frustration is being taken on innocent items like mouse, gaming pad or keyboard (awww the good old gaming days!).
What I like is that the keys are low profile so they’re great for fast typing, also quite silent when pressed. The function keys have double use, but it’s great to see that I don’t have to press a button to enable the primary use of these keys, like it is with some keyboards.
It’s a wireless rechargeable keyboard with a USB-C output – you still don’t see them enough in new electronics these days. It has a charging cable attached. The wireless adapter is small and won’t stand in a way of other devices. In terms of battery life it’s hard to say as mine hasn’t gone off yet – I’m assuming it lasts a good time. You can also charge and use simultaneously. It has a battery indicator that goes red when the battery level is low.
Now the lights. I like them even though you cannot change the colour pattern (lovely rainbow effect), or enable flickering effects. You can adjust the brightness or switch the lights off completely to save batteries. It is good enough for me.
Overall the strong points of this keyboard for me are the compact size, the quiet operation, the full range of keys and of course – the lights. The price is set at a very good level for the build and all features offered. I am recommending this keyboard for both gamers and non-gamers.
It’s a cool cheap spare for me now, it must be mentioned it is only a backlit keyboard stuck in this rainbow layout with no changes, I personally wouldn’t have minded it being a solid colour!
I must admit I am having to be careful with how hard I press or rest my hand on it, as I’ve noticed when pressing space on the lower left side it can cause the lights to stop working on the left hand side of the keyboard.
But for the price, low latency and looks good and sleek! Just needs a good wrist res
Amazing keyboard with backlights.
Comfortable to use and not cheaply made.
Easy to install on your computer and I love the fact it is wireless.
Im very happy I got this keyboard.
Its have great design and working well.
I like the buttons on keyboard, they are very comfortable.
Lights on keyboard is great is well, now I can see the buttons when its dark in room.
Overall, amaizing quality for that price and surely I do recommend it to all.
This is a slim membrane wireless multicoloured illuminated keyboard. The keys seem to work fine. Highly responsive too. The quick keys are well labelled and easy to reach. The RGB lighting looks nice but it’s a static RGB pattern, you can’t change it. I would recommend it.
This is a really nice keyboard in a lot of ways.
The size is fantastic for cluttered or small desks. It’s nice and compact, but maintains full layout/functionality.
The build quality is good. The keys are nice and responsive and the backlighting is cool.
Battery life was excellent – charging is easy.
My only criticism is that you can’t seem to change the colour of the backlighting. Maybe I’m just missing something though.
Anyway, it’s a nice keyboard.
I bought this keyboard for my boyfriend’s birthday. He tried to play with it today and found that the Enter key is very very sensitive and works without pressing it. This can be an issue as it can press by accident when you don’t want it. Overall the keyboard feels and looks nice
This immediately came across as a high-quality product, much more so than I was expecting for the price point.
The packaging is upmarket, and looks great. The whole thing is well-presented.
This is a rechargeable keyboard, and connects to a normal USB socket via a USB Type-C cable supplied with the package, which is a much better idea than using replaceable batteries, and is a more sophisticated system than I was expecting at the price.
It’s simple to connect. There’s a USB receiver stored in a socket on the underside of the keyboard. When this is plugged into the PC, the keyboard is recognised straight away, and lights up in a rainbow colour effect – the brightness of this can be changed via keyboard shortcuts, but the colour pattern is fixed. This is a pity, as I suspect many potential buyers would like the option to alter the colour layout. This wasn’t really a big deal for me though.
In use, the keys have a pleasingly tactile feel and a positive response when pressed. The keys aren’t silent in use, as is claimed, but they are not noisy either. Unusually, the keys have rounded edges; they also have a reasonably concavity on their top surfaces. It’s easy to touch type on this, and it feels nice and solid. The keyboard has a numeric keypad, too, which gives it an advantage over many laptop keyboards. The wireless rang appears good, and it can easily be used from more than one room away.
Surprisingly, there appears to be very little latency between keypresses and their recognition by the PC, which is a big plus. It’s advertised as a membrane actuator keyboard, but anyone expecting something akin to the keyboards found on the Sinclair Spectrum or QL is in for a pleasant surprise!
Overall, this is a really good keyboard for the money.
First up, I noticed this was more like a chiclet keyboard than a normal or mechanical one. It’s almost a hybrid with chiclet shape keys that work more like “normal” membrane keyboard keys. It’s not mechanical.
The keys seem to work fine, no issues there. Maybe a bit stiff I guess.
The RGB lighting looks nice enough but you should know that it’s a static RGB pattern, you can’t change it, it’s the exact same as all the photos. Most RGB keyboards you press fn+a key combination and you get a few choices, but not this one. So it’s sorta not RGB, it’s just coloured lights.
No issues with responsiveness or reliability or range.
Useful that it doesn’t need batteries – it has its own internal battery.
This gaming keyboard has awesome colours underneath and on top of that it’s rechargeable so there is no need for batteries or wire. The keyboards stop shining after a while if you stop using the keyboard itself which is good as it will not be draining the battery out.
This is a pretty good keyboard, but not perfect.
The battery life for instance, is fine, but as it has to be plugged in, you almost may as well have a wired keyboard. Overall, though, I like it; the quick keys are well labelled and easy to reach, the keys appear larger than on other keyboards and the backlight wasn’t too annoying for me. I game, but I don’t *game*, if you know what I mean. It would have been preferable to be able to turn that off. If it’s possible, I’ve failed to that setting. However, it can be made less intense, which is fine.
Most importantly, it was comfortable to use and doesn’t seem overpriced.
This is a fairly compact keyboard which does not compromise on the range of keys or functions, there are more compact keyboards out there, but they can be limited in what they offer. Set up is very easy, just that USB cable to connect, and the USB receiver to plug into to the computer, and you’re up and running. You can of course run it without the USB cable having previously charged the keyboard’s battery using that same cable.
The key operation is on the soft side, and there is relatively a lot of travel in them, if you are used to a keyboard with very little travel you might find some keystrokes not registering, I notice this especially on the extremities of the keyboard, namely with the “shift” key. The keys themselves are quite large, which means they are also close together, I frequently catch the “caps lock” when typing “a”.
The keyboard is illuminated, and this option can be turned on or off. Even when turned on if automatically goes off after sixty seconds of idle time, to come back on the instant you start typing again. This makes sense if you are running off the battery, but when permanently connect via the USB cable there really is no need for this, especially as the key designations are very hard to see when not illuminated (they are a not very light grey on the black keys). If you are used to working in an otherwise unlit room the key designations are virtually invisible when the backlighting is off, I have not yet found a way to override this auto off. The illumination graduates rainbow-wise from green to indigo left to right across the keyboard, which results in some parts appearing brighter than others, an option for setting just a single colour would be welcome.
The Keyboard can be set at a slight angle by means of two drop don legs
In conclusion, this is a well appointed keyboard, and it fells well-made, (KLIM makes big claims about its durability), but I would like a more solid feel to the action. Its just possible some of my niggles are resolvable, but the instructions accompanying the keyboard are minimal, and printed so small as to be almost unreadable, (and checking the manufacture’s website seems to offer little hope). However, I would be prepared to suffer some of these if the keyboard otherwise lives up to its claims.
This is a great keyboard, it’s responsive, great quality, looks great with my set up and i like how the RGB lights turn themselves off to save battery life if they’ve not been used in a while. It’s fairly compact in size whilst still being big enough to be functional. I love it being wireless, means i can angle it how i want or move it around with no wires getting in the way. After charging up the keyboard and inserting the usb receiver into my PC’s usb port it was ready to go straight away! It’s very well made and battery life must be good because since the initial charge i’ve not yet had to charge it again as of yet.
Wonderful looking, great quality and responsive… love it!
Working from home I’ve been using a very bulky mechanical wired multi-coloured gaming keyboard. It was very bulky, so saw this and thought it was worth a punt.
This is a slim membrane wireless multicoloured keyboard, that measures 43.6 x 13.9 x 2.7cm and weighs 560g which is quite weighty for how slim it is. It must be wearing a girdle! You get 1 x keyboard, 1 x wireless USB dongle and a USB to USB C charge cable. You need a good 6 hours charge to get approx 26hrs use, that is at full brightness, turn down and you’ll get 30 easily. I have this week.
The keyboard is membrane, so the response time isn’t that great compared to the mechanical pro ones, but still comes in at 8ms. It is not like I am playing Cod, I am working on spreadsheets. The keys feel more spongey, and no satisfying click. A great shame that the lights don’t flash n chase, as I am a big fan of both flashing and chasing. It goes to sleep after 2 mins without any keystrokes, saving valuable battery.
You can also fear not, as any spillages should be OK with keyboard, just don’t dunk it in your giant Sports Direct mug by mistake. There is no coming back from that.
Overall for the price it is pretty good, and it has a sign on the number 3. I’d recommend this to anyone for the price.
I needed a keyboard to move between my PC and TV that was wireless and had backlighting to see the keys on the dark. This keyboard ticked all the boxes and who doesn’t love a bit of RGB? I needed something that was fast and had a good range, but most importantly didn’t cost the earth and this keyboard ticked all the boxes.
The keyboard is charged via USB-C and is supplied with a charging cable and cable tie which is a bonus given the price of this. I always have a USB cable on the desk to charge other devices so I can easily plug this in when required. The annual states a 6 hour charge time and 24-hour battery when the RGB’s are on full. This is good battery life and should exceed 24 hours continuous use as the RGB turns off automatically after a while and turns on when I push a key.
The keyboard itself is a textured finish for good grip and each key has a good travel distance. It is rated for 2ms response time and although I’m not a pro gamer I don’t notice any lag. It connects to the PC using a 2.4Ghz USB which is tiny, just make sure to have 2 usb’s spare to charge and connect it. The charging one doesn’t have to connect to the PC to charge it. It also remains connected when I remove the charger without any disconnects.
It is a full QWERTY keyboard with num pad and function keys and the Fn keys also double up for audio control and some shortcuts. I can also enable and disable the lights and adjust the lighting level to 3 different brightness’s. Unfortunately I can’t do anything with the colours, they are just static but it looks good from green on the left through all the colours to blue on the right. The signal works well and I have tested it up to 7m so will be good for TV’s.
The battery indicator is a static low battery symbol so I only know when its low because the icon goes red, the rest of the time it looks like a normal iPhone battery symbol (Nearly Dead) I wish it could show more levels. It probably isn’t a pro gamer keyboard as it isn’t mechanical, but good enough for general use. It would also be nice if I could customise some of the buttons.
Overall for a cheap keyboard, it works really well and feels good to use, it also looks nice, especially when its dark. I had forgotten how much I enjoyed a backlit keyboard. Good value for money.
I had no problems with this keyboard for the first few weeks and then suddenly the majority of the keys stopped working? I’ve updated the driver software and done updates on my computer which hasn’t helped. Can anyone offer advice please? I’m not sure if it’s the actual keyboard.
It’s true to say that the membrane means it’s not so noisy, but there are clear keypress noises as you’re typing, if you’re a 50WPM+ typist you won’t notice much difference at all, if I’m honest.
The positives are the pretty lights (ooh, pretty) and the wireless function – I use it with another branded wireless mouse and the two don’t interfere, which is good. If you’re a slower typist, then there is a reduction in noise, but for true quiet typing, brown switch keyboards (which cost 3-4x what this does) are the answer.
The built in battery and charging function is excellent – you can charge whilst using and it saves AA or AAA batteries being put into landfill; another reason why I chose this.
Overall if it was just a little quieter for the faster typists among us, I would be happy. Stealth typing when on conference calls is still not wholly possible, here!
First things first this is a very solid little keyboard. Straight out of the box you can feel the quality.
The one thing I have always been dubious about with wireless tech is when it comes to gaming. I want something that will respond. I can’t say I’m disappointed. Played a few different games on it with no issues. I know it isn’t a gaming keyboard, but this would work if you’re a casual gamer who wants the option to move unrestricted without wires, and want a smaller keyboard without a mass of macro buttons you’ll probably never use.
The keystrokes are smooth and pretty quiet, and (as mentioned) responsive. It also handles my sleep deprived, clumsy, multiple key hitting typing. The colours are bright and very pretty, and it has a nice battery saving function of turning the lights off after a short while, so even if you leave it on, it won’t drain the battery.
My only “issue” is that it is purely RGB. I know this is probably down to battery saving, however the KLIM chroma is already a wireless RGB keyboard, so I was hoping for the option to choose my own colour. Not really an issue, just a personal preference and something to note if you’re looking for a wireless RGB keyboard that you can have in a specific colour.
It really is a nice keyboard and I would recommend if you wanted to brighten up your office. It’s quiet, small, and pretty, and the price isn’t bad either.
Great keyboard lights make it look so much better than a standard keyboard. Works well
Bought for my son who is very pleased with the keyboard. Loves the way it lights up. Would recommend.
It’s been a nice purchase, the only thing I would like is that the lights stay on a little longe
I was pleasantly surprised when I opened it up to find that not only does it have a built in battery, but that the charging port is a USB-C port (the keyboard comes supplied with a charging cable). That is some nice, forward thinking design and not the kind of thing you tend to see on the lower end of tech items.
After pairing the keyboard with my laptop (about as simple as plugging in the receiver), the RGB back lighting lit up with a pleasant rainbow effect. It comes with an adjustable level of brightness, and looks nice enough without being really distracting. It’s worth pointing out that you cannot adjust the colour layout or anything, the pattern is fixed.
I’ll rattle off the other features that I like about the keyboard:
– The keypad feels nice and firm, and the keys have a nice profile, they don’t sit too far out from the keyboard
– There’s a full right number pad (as you would probably expect)
– There are the standard function bindings, which are toggled using the function key as you would expect. Some keyboards inexplicably have the alternate functions mapped to the default input action, with the actual fn keys mapped when the function button is held down, fortunately this keyboard doesn’t do that.
– You can still use it if it is plugged in, although you’ll still need 2 free USB slots since the charging cable is independent of the receiver.
– The ability to use it as a wireless keyboard if desired is handy.
– It’s reasonably quiet when typing
– The battery life claims on the product specification, if true, sound pretty good. 26 hours of use with the back light on full brightness. I haven’t used the keyboard for long enough to verify this yet.
And now for some of the cons to keep in mind:
– I don’t know if I would consider this a true gaming keyboard, it seems better suited to general office use than heavy gaming. Since I don’t do a lot of PC gaming this isn’t really an issue for me
– The on/off slider on the back of the keyboard feels a little bit loose
– The battery indicator will light up red when the battery level hits 10%, it might be good if it had more levels of indication
– This comes with the plastic stands on the back to raise the keyboard angle, but they can only adjust to one position, it might be nicer if they had more positions than that
Overall I’d say all of my gripes with the keyboard are pretty minor, and all in all it’s pretty solid for the price point. I’d feel comfortable recommending this item to someone looking for a new keyboard who doesn’t want to break the bank.
