What a pleasant surprise. The keyboard I’ve always had a fancy for is about the same size as this one but has never been officially available in the UK and would cost considerably more money with less features.
This keyboard exceeds my expectations for it’s nice weight, size, weird customisable lighting, and feel when hacking at it, as well as it’s modern USB connection and ability to use it with either Windows or Mac key layout. Needless to say I am happily hacking away on my KOORUI. Thank you.
Comes with extra keys so you can check the clickiness of the others. This was bought for my daughter and originally I bought her the wrong one. We were a little confused as ti why it was still quite loud, then we realised my mistake. Returned with no problems, bought the right one and she hasn’t complained so I presume it’s all good! I can’t hear it from outside her bedroom door either, bonus!
The RGB effects are great and provide plenty of options for solid colours and effects.
The keyboard is quite heavy and clearly well built. The volume control is a really useful addition and something I overlooked until I started using the keyboard!
The keyboard was also really well packaged and protected.
For the price, this keyboard is a STEEl and is a MUST BUY for anyone looking for a mechanical keyboard on a budget!
This keyboard is very quiet, despite having mechanical switches.
The details of design are fantastic. If you are using it as a Bluetooth or wired keyboard, there’s a little storage slot for the dongle. The feet that control the rake of the keyboard seem to have metal springs, not the plastic clips that we often see nowadays.
When you switch it on, it does distracting colourful patterns on the keyboard. And pressing Fn and together will get you a range of other patterns. Fn and is supposed to give you a selection of solid colours, but sometimes fails on my keyboard, even though the relevant keys work independently. The backlighting only illuminates the main symbols on the keyboard and not any secondary ones, such as punctuation or function combinations. The ,printing on the grey keys is illegible without the back-lighting.
The volume control works directly for my Windows 11 Pro laptop, but doesn’t mute it. There are other volume control an mute options using the Fn key in combination with others.
If you stop actively using the keyboard for a couple of minutes, it shuts off the lighting. Also, there is no on-off switch as such, you can only actively power it off, other than switching to the “USB” wired mode, when it’s not wired to a computer.
Bought a few 60% rgb keyboards on here and been happy with them in general but having now bought this I aint going back to a 60%. This is the best I’ve had so far. Great quality from the box to the keyboard itself, rgb is good, volume knob is a great edition, no fiddly connection or downloading anything just works off the bat. Dongle for Bluetooth and switches on the bottom to toggle different connection modes is a blessing too. Seems all bases are covered with this and I couldn’t be happier. Cheap as chips too
Really great value, I went for brown switches, really nice. As the headline there is no key for right click. Useful when typing in paragraphs and you see some typos, I used to ctrl+left to the word then select the right click then select the correct spelling.
A nice and heavy keyboard. I opted for the blue switches because I am a fast touch typist. Hitting 120 words per min + on this fantastic keyboard. A great selection of RGB colours and effects. The round volume button makes life much easier. This keyboard does not bend or twist, like some do. The added bonus of two red and 2 brown switches is a plus. Can use this wired or wireless. I use wired whilst it is charging. The battery is very long lasting, unlike others on Amazon. It is easy to clean and keep clean. I cannot find a single fault with this keyboard. It is the perfect keyboard. The very long lasting battery (For Me) is perhaps the most important part of this keyboard. It’s a MUST BUY KEYBOARD, for sure!!!
Very nicely made – solid build with some good weight to it. Certainly feels sturdy. I opted for brown switches – nice feedback, some click, pretty quiet. The volume dial also presses for pause / play and that works nicely with the app that’s currently playing music (eg iTunes and a browser – presuming that YouTube is active).
Overall, very happy with it but I had to return it as it doesn’t place nicely with the s/w I’m using on my Mac (I need both a Return and an Enter key and I was hoping that Function + Enter would provide that functionality but it doesn’t.) Shame as I really liked it. Happy to recommend if you don’t have the specific need that I do.
My son bought this keyboard for himself, when I had a go on it I bought one for myself. Lovely keyboard to game (or type) with. I have only had it a couple of weeks and only used it in Bluetooth mode but so far no issues
For an entry level wireless mechanical keyboard, there is little more you can get for the money. Any more than 50 then it maybe would be a lower rating.
Keys feel nice, not too wobbly with nice stability and feels quite weighty. Keys feel fairly smooth. There is a lot of flex in the board too, but does not sound hollow! Compared to my stock Keychron C1, which is incredibly hollow.
USB decent for wireless connectivity, but the Bluetooth can be a little unreliable. Battery life is very fair for the price, supplied USB to USB C cable is adequately length. Switch puller included. Customisable and would do someone who isn’t an enthusiast, but could be a gateway drug to custom keyboards.
Took a gamble and don’t regret it. Reliable when in constant use for more than a month for typing and heavy gaming sessions. I was feeling anxious about the brand, Koorui who also make monitors, with this I believe being their first keyboard. But it’s great for the money. Again, for an 80% wireless mechanical, you’ll struggle to find the same quality at this price.
Has a really nice knob btw.
I purchased this keyboard around two months ago, and I am thoroughly impressed with its features and performance!
I opted for the brown switches, which provide a satisfying tactile feedback akin to the blue switches but without the loud click. Typing on this keyboard is an absolute joy. While the keyboard itself is constructed from plastic, it exudes a solid and high-quality feel. What truly stands out is the incredible value this keyboard offers for its price point.
Here are some of the remarkable features:
Swappable Switches: The ability to switch out the switches is a fantastic feature, allowing you to customize your typing experience.
RGB Lighting: Although it’s not customizable through software, the keyboard boasts numerous lighting modes and presets that are likely to cater to your preferences. You can even individually illuminate specific keys according to your liking. I recommend experimenting with it; it offers many of the standard RGB profiles found in most programmable keyboards, all conveniently preinstalled.
Battery Life: The battery life is, without a doubt, exceptional. your range may very depending on rgb settings and daily use.
Build Quality: its made out of plastic but feels very sturdy and well build. no squeaks when the keyboard is bent.
Cons:
The most significant drawback has to be the connection type switch on the back. Unfortunately, there is no feedback when switching between the modes (USB, Bluetooth, and wireless dongle). This makes it feel somewhat cheap, flimsy and hard to click into usb mode.
The 2.4 dongle also needs line of sight and should be kept relatively close to the keyboard.
In summary, this keyboard has exceeded my expectations in terms of performance, features, and value for money. While it does have a minor drawback in the mode-switching mechanism, it’s a solid choice for anyone looking for a versatile and high-quality keyboard.
I cannot afford to spend 150+ on an expensive Logitech keyboard with Cherry switches/keycaps so was forced to look at the cheaper end (much cheaper)
My requirements were Bluetooth 5, WIFI (just in case BT is a bit flaky) clicky switches, arrow keys, RGB (mainly just for backlighting) and then i figured a volume control knob (having a master volume is a big bonus for me)
What I like:
Good uniform RGB Luminance under the keys (apart from either side of the space bar where its a bit dimmer) and good luminance shining through ‘all’ the keycaps (which are Double-shot injection which is supposed to be more durable than ABS)
Nice aluminium volume control knob (unfortunately not hot swappable) that also allows you to pause YouTube videos by pushing it down.
Nice weight, key spacing and layout with the essential caps lock light (as well as battery and WIFI connection)
Separate arrow keys with quite a good gap away from the other keys.
Stable Bluetooth, easy pairing (windows 11) with imperceivable amount of typing lag (I have not tried gaming or the WIFI or USB-C connection)
2 height stands to bring the keyboard up at the back.
What I don’t like:
The keyboard FONTS look weird but the worst is the number keys (I guess they were trying to make it look different to other keycaps)
Limited cycling RGB effects (not programmable) with very limited static backlighting colours (although the LEDS are capable of displaying white it cannot be selected as a static backlight.
I assume they have adapted a US-ISO keyboard as there are two backslash keys (one above the enter and another above the Windows key)
What I’m on the fence about:
This keyboard uses Jixian 3 pin switches (hot swappable in this board & compatible with 5 pin) which ‘according to the internet’ are pretty much the cheapest and worst sounding/feeling switches you can buy (no wonder the listing didn`t specify which switches it used). Personally though (& this is very subjective) I quite like them, but they are quite loud and while I`m using this keyboard in public I’ve swapped out my most used keys with some far better AKKO V3 Cream blues (like the switches fitted but no click and a better sound and feel)
In conclusion:
I haven’t used a mechanical keyboard for over 25 years but as someone that has been around PCs and electronics for 40+ years this KOORI keyboard seems like a bit of a bargain. Yes it’s switches aren’t Cherry quality and the keycaps have a weird font but you might be happy with it straight out of the box (& then it really is a bargain ‘especially’ if it has a discount)
Personally I think this is a great starter mechanical keyboard (even identical layout DIY boards where you have to buy your own switches and keycaps are a lot more) with the potential to be great. Yes you can buy an EPOMAKER or Keychron for double the price, that has slightly better switches, keycaps and programmable RGB but for the same price you could customise this keyboard so it is totally personal to you (& you still might find you want to change the switches on the more expensive EPOMAKER or Keychron as they are very personal)
Lastly if you do not want a loud audible click – but like the feel of resistance – get the brown switch version.
It’s not a bad keyboard, worth the price (42) but no more in my opinion.
Someone remarked that the Return button wasn’t large enough and I agree. Typing is fine but I still prefer an old Dell keyboard that I use on a different PC.
It is very solid.
I’m not an expert gamer but I can say this is a great quality keyboard. The keys are nice to press and very responsive. It doesn’t have the numeric keys but it didn’t make any difference when playing games. It has a wheel to control the sound volume which is great. And, obviously, the LED lights make it look even cooler.
Solidly built, nice keys, just as clicky as blue switches ought to be imho. Couple issues though. First being that despite there being about fifteen different colour settings, none of them are solid colour except for pink which slowly changes to red as you type. No blue, no green, no yellow, just pink/red and other varying flashing/strobing colours. It’s not exactly a deralbreaker, but it is a noticeable lack that you would think was standard on these things. Also it is US layout not UK, as others have said.
This Gaming Keyboard is a compact and reliable one that delivers impressive performance for gamers. The mechanical switches provides a satisfying and precise typing experience, with a solid and responsive feel. The keyboard features customizable RGB lighting, allowing us to personalize the aesthetics to match our gaming setup. The compact design is great for saving desk space and ensures a comfortable hand position during gameplay. The detachable cable is a nice touch, making it easier to transport or store the keyboard. However, the lack of dedicated media keys and macro programming might be a drawback for some users who rely heavily on these features. Overall, the Logitech G Pro is a well-built gaming keyboard that strikes a good balance between performance, portability, and affordability.
– I previously owned the wired version of the KOORUI gaming keyboard and had a positive experience with it.
– The wireless version of this keyboard offers the same great functionality along with the added flexibility of wireless connectivity.
– The keyboard seamlessly switches between wired and wireless modes, allowing for convenient usage in different setups.
– The connectivity is reliable, ensuring a stable and uninterrupted gaming experience.
– The 26 RGB backlit keys add a visually appealing element to the keyboard, enhancing the gaming atmosphere.
– The UK layout is well-suited for users accustomed to that configuration.
– The keyboard features a rechargeable 4000mAh battery, providing long-lasting usage without the need for frequent recharging.
KOORUI gaming keyboard offers a seamless and versatile gaming experience, combining the convenience of wireless connectivity with the reliability of a wired keyboard.
PS: I am using it with a Mac Studio and experience no problems in getting connected at the boot(which was a problem with most non-apple keyboards for me)
The blue keys are very clicky, which I like, and it is supplied with easily interchangeable switches plus a key cap and switch pulling tool.
I have swapped the spacebar, enter and shift keys with the brown and red switches so that I have audible differences in sound when pressing these. I find this useful when typing as I know I’ve hit the right key for what I need.
The lighting is very straightforward to adjust and is handy for lower light conditions but can also be switched off if needed.
It comes with a decent length usb-c to usb-a cable with a Velcro cable tie attached. The ‘win’ key can be locked out as can be seen highlighted in white on my photos. The key caps feel pleasant to use and seem to be of good quality.
When I first received the keyboard I thought that it was US layout but was happy to find that it is actually a type of combo which can be used either way and has the ” and @ keys shown in both formats.
The photos show the light and size comparison to a full sized keyboard.
Overall I’m very happy with this.
Delivery was also very quick which is always nice.
A nicely solid little keyboard for gaming. Lights up well with built in LEDs that really adds to the gamer feel. Only comment is it does seems bit pricy for what it is. The printing on the keys does look a little washed out and the keys themselves don’t have quite the click to them that you get with the really expensive gaming keyboards.
That said, if you want something that does look nice and feels okay to use, it does the job fine.
It’s a fully backlit RGB keyboard so it should be able to match up with any TV you may have on your PC build if that’s your kind of thing as well as being a mechanical keyboard which basically means that it is full of a lot of reasonably expensive keys that are all individually replaceable if you have any issues with one offs so these are more long term keyboards rather than something that you would have temporarily and easily replace it’s something that you hold onto and fix instead.
Design wise it’s your standard keyboard layout as most QWERTY keyboards are as well as all of your function buttons straight across the top and an additional volume control dial as well as a couple of shortcuts.
Battery duration is as per most keyboards they all seem to be reasonably similar as long as they’re quite high spec and this one doesn’t disappoint I can take it for sometimes one week and sometimes a few weeks before having to recharge it it all depends on the putting it through each time and also whether I have the RGB lights on or not as you can switch them on and off through a very simple shortcut anyway.
Overall it’s a great keyboard and I would use it for both gaming and work use without question.
Very well compact design, brown mechanical switch acts similar to a blue without the click.
I personally run cherry red at home and Razer greens (similar to blues) at work and these browns are essentially the best of both worlds, where you want the tactile feeling without the click. I personally prefer one or the other but this is a legitimate mechanical keyboard & can vouch for the build quality.
Wireless design gives you the option between bluetooth, and USB dongle (magnetic to underneath the keyboard). Type C to charge and can be used as a wired keyboard too.
RGB options are versatile but honestly at this price (70 at time of review) it feels limited compared to the big branded fully programmable ones. See my video demonstrating the RGB options.
Can recommend if you want the portability to bring this with you to multiple places such as work and home.
But as a designated main keyboard, better investing on a less compact or full sized wired keyboard.
This Koori Gaming Keyboard is compact and robustly built with lots of features including three way connection, Bluetooth, USB cable and via a wireless dongle which is supplied. The unit comes complete with connection leads, key/switch pullers and a user guide which contains support details.
I connected my keyboard to my Windows 10 PC via Bluetooth and it connected first time. The 4000mAh battery should ensure a couple weeks use without a recharge – the only mystery is how do you know when the battery is fully charged?
The unit is nice and compact measuring 13 by 5.5 inches and rests on rubber footings – you can angle the front feet to rake the unit which makes for comfortable use. I also like the fact that its easy to configure the keyboard for Windows or Mac at the flick of a switch and the same applies to the connection choice of USB, Bluetooth or wireless dongle.
The important thing about a gaming keyboard is the keys, the mechanical keys on this water resistant keyboard have a superb action. The travel is relatively short but with a very affirmative action and not too noisy either. I found the keys suitable for gaming (I’m an intermediate level gamer) and adequate for typing too. There are 12 multifunction keys for things like multimedia etc. and the the overall keyboard layout is intuitive. I like the RGB lighting effects which you can vary or turn off if you wish.
Overall, this is a very good keyboard which is fast and responsive plus intuitive to use plus the ergonomics are very good too. At just over 70 (which can currently be reduced to around 58 with a voucher) it’s good value – I like this keyboard a lot.
Good feel on the brown switches from Jixian, quite low actuation force, but enough tactility to make it work for me. The switches are swappable, and you get a switch puller in the box (though no cap puller), as well as 6 spare switches, though these are 2x each option (red, blue, brown). Not a big deal really.
Keycaps are not great to be honest, the grey ones don’t have sharp etching so the characters look a bit blurry. They have a nice texture and curvature to them though.
The base is decent, with pretty low profile, but some awkward spacing of some keys. The volume knob is a nice touch. I do prefer a more tightly packed board, but some will appreciate that little bit of extra space if the smallest possible board is not needed. It does have some flex which makes it feel a bit cheap compared to some other products.
Overall, a good typing experience, good features, and decent looks make this a good value keyboard.
