Its a stunning keyboard
You feel like you have a lovely piece of engineering at your fingertips
But, on blutooth, every time you wake it with a keystroke, it continually repeats that keystroke until the next keypress … I had to delete 100 accidentally sent msgs on twitter lolz
media knob is great, but, to change between it working for volume to skip track etc … you have to hold down 2 keys at opposite ends of the keyboard … so ok if you are at it 2 handed all the time .. but not easy it u are using 1 hand
Switching between PC tablet and phone on blutooth was absolutely flawless … worked beautifully
Needs double the battery size for me … the radio wireless uses much more power than blutooth too … and if you turn off the lights, its difficult to read the letters on the keycaps … because they are translucent
Finally, the hole for you to plug in the USBC cable is so small that other cables do not fit … maybe thats a safety thing … some cheap cables (received with cheap 30 mech kb) are not designed for charging, they are for data only, and I almost had a fire in my place; charging an xbox controller with a USB cable only designed for data transfer …. people need to be aware … if id left the flat, I would have prob burnt down the whole block, but I smelt the burning … it melted the plastic around the port
And id like to have got clicky blue low-profile keycaps … so research time!
Nice experience owning, just too many annoyances for me … still, an absolute steal at 75 … you could prob do alot worse if trying a premium mechanical for the first time … half price
Very impressed with this keyboard, the action of the keys is great and the keyboard itself is well finished and reassuringly robust and sturdy. The triple option of wired/wireless/Bluetooth is great and I find the volume control knob on the keyboard so so useful that I’m now wondering why all keyboards don’t have one! The only caveat is that the keyboard is really cut down in size – not only is there no numberpad but even functions like “home/end” to go to line start/end or printscreen are only accessible via combo/function key presses. Its not a big issue for many people’s use cases but just make sure you don’t use these often since having to use a keyboard combo to access them prevents quick access and could get annoying if you regularly use those functions.
Comfy keyboard for work day typing. Easy to set up and switch between devices on Bluetooth.
It’s a good board overall, with good feedback when typing. The thock sound is satisfying. However the software is lacking a bit, wish the wheel was more customizable. Also would have been nice if it came when optical switches like the Roccat Vulcan TKL Pro.
I’d give it 9/10. Pros: Solid metal cover with a plastic back gives it premium feel but keeps it weighing nicely. The RGB gets very bright with a full range of colours. The red switches are perfect for typing or gaming a nice solid click not too loud like blues. My favourite part is the colour way of this keyboard, the grey and black looks so clean and modern it makes my old black keyboard look hideous and matches my room well. RGB round the sides is a nice touch.
Cons: No software for the coloursThis keyboard only changes colours and cycles by pressing certain keys, the CK351 has the cooler master software but this CK352 doesn’t? This seems like a simple solution for cooler master to add.
Overall great product just a slight con.
Really great keyboard and I use it on three different devices, my PC, MacBook Pro and Steam deck. All work perfectly and without any issues.
Really great product design and keys fell comfortable and very tactile to use. This is my now daily driver and happy to stay so for the foreseeable future.
Je voulais un clavier mcanique depuis longtemps, je trouve que celui ci est un bon rapport qualit prix, il fonctionne trs bien et les matriaux sont de bonne qualit. Je recommande et petit plus le repose poignet amovible !
Pay une 60aines d’euros, je suis ravi de ce clavier. Il n’est pas le plus silencieux mais ses switchs rouges sont corrects sur ce point l.
Les gens de plaignent de sa hauteur mais je l’utilise sans repose poignets et je n’ai aucun soucis.
Je l’utilise pour travailler et il est vraiment trs agrable.
Son rtro-clairage est trs bien.
Pour son prix, je le recommande vivement.
Ps. I found it quite funny when I pulled off the space lane key to find a do not remove sticker, which I assumed was to stop people making it hotswapable. Either way I had a nice time laughing about it to myself.
I haven’t been in the keyboard game for long, however this has to be one of the most well built keyboards to look and and use. The feel of the keyboard on hand is amazing, the fluency it brings to hand is unbeaten. One of the outshining features would have to be the RGB lights on the keyboard, really crisp colour that brightens up the whole thing effortlessly. Neat design, whats to fault. Only downside is it not being hot swap-able, however they will shortly be releasing change able steel plates and key caps I’ve heard in reviews. 10/10 from me!
Bonjour, mon clavier marche mais les leds ne s’allument plus, mme avec le logiciel Masterplus. J’ai tout essay..
Absolument gnial, les touches ont du rpondant, le produit respire la qualit, la finition aluminium bross est top et la personnalisation des touches rgb est ass pousse. Je recommande
Cela fait un bout de temps que je l’ai et j’en suis pleinement satisfait. Trs beau rgb.
Trs bon clavier.
Le bruit est raisonnable pour un clavier mcanique.
Les couleurs sont agrables et les rglages trs trs nombreux.
Le clavier peux tre totalement verrouill (fn+F9 x2 =>pour viter les jeunes enfants de s’amuser avec ;))
Trs content de mon choix.
Aprs le v1 le v2 est toujours top
Niveau qualit prix impeccable
Superbement surpris par la qualit de ce clavier vu le prix demand ! Je suis trs satisfait je le recommande !
Really like this on the whole. I don’t know if it would be useable without the wrist pad. It’s good one is included but if you lose it, you’re going to suffer.
I like the tactile feedback. Lots of colours…. Not sure how it compares to other gaming keyboards that are mid/high end. Coming from cheapo ones in the past, this is leagues ahead.
Excellent clavier. Bruit agrable, switchs rouge agrables. Trs bon rapport qualit/prix. Belle finition. Logiciel ( tlcharger ) pour personnaliser le clavier trs complet. Parfait.
J’en ai consomm des claviers. Pas de surprise avec celui l, compar toute la camelotes hors de prix qu’on trouve sur le march actuel.
For the price and non-cherry keys this feels extremely nice
Clavier de trs bonne finition. Rapport qualit /prix imbattable pour un clavier mcanique touche rouge.
il y a clapotis des touches mais c’est normale tant donn que c’est un clavier mcanique.
la frappe des touches est trs linaire, idal pour les jeux.
a recommander sans problmes
100 euros un clavier de cette qualit….je suis trs trs trs content. je tape et je geek, et franchement, les touches sont trs agrables. l esthtique , le clavier est lourd, le metal bross sur le dessus est du plus bel effet, le dessous est en plastique noir et dur, les pieds en dessous sont trs slides, le rgb(….que dire). Franchement pour 100 euros, je suis trs trs content et de l aspect du produit et de sa qualit. a vous de voir si vous avez besoin des fonctionnalits de certain claviers plus chers mais si vous avez besoin d un bon et beau clavier….n hsitez plus, le CK550 est top. (j ai hesit avec Keychron qui dlivre de bons clavier pas chers aussi)
* Feels heavy and solid
* Looks fantastic
* Keys are nice to press
Cons
* The RGB for the ‘Caps Lock’ and ‘Screen Lock’ keys is unlit when the keys are off, but I normally have these keys off so I would prefer for the keys to be lit when off so that the whole board is lit the majority of the time. It might be possible to fix this issue using the keyboard software to create a custom RGB profile, but the keyboard software won’t let me change the layout from the US to the UK layout. The software is stuck on the US layout meaning if you want custom RGB profiles or macros some keys are unselectable due to them being in a completely different location on the software.
