I went with the Ice Vein varient considering I was seeking out a more creamy/thoccy tone as opposed to something that’s a little more clicky. I’ve got a slight sensitivity to higher pitched noise and despite the price being lower, it has performed remarkably well against my Razer Huntsman keyboard that has been serving me for the past year now.
Compared to my Huntsman, this keyboard is actually satisfying to type on, the actuation is consistent and it doesn’t take too much strength to fully register a keystroke. This important for someone like myself as I routinely do lots of writing. I also enjoy the feature to angle my keyboard with the built in stand, plus it has two separate modes depending on if you have a wristrest or not.
Considering the price, I am thoroughly impressed with the build quality of this keyboard. There’s a difference between cheap plastic that can easily cut your fingers as well as the more refined type and this is certainly that more refined type. Compared to my Huntsman, I am pleasantly surprised that the keycaps feel more premium considering I paid over half the price for this. Furthermore, this keyboard has some heft in it thanks to the gasket design, giving me lots of peace of mind regarding the durability of it!
The top feature for me for this keyboard is the flexibility. From a 2.4GHz universally compatible USB dongle that slots away into the keyboard itself, Bluetooth functionality or being able to simply plug and play with pretty much any hardware, the fact that I can simply unplug it from my desk and take it with me to college for my studies brings me an endless amount of joy. That and also its 75% profile ensures that the keyboard retains all important functionality without needing to sacrifice the convenience of shortcuts for a smaller profile. The volume knob and the mute feature that comes from it has also been vastly helpful and is even reprogrammable!
The RGB is a little underwhelming considering it doesn’t glow through the keycaps and can’t be customised with software to a signficiant degree, but I’m not really the type to care about RGB all too much; if you’re big into that then please bear this in mind!
I honestly don’t see why people spend an extortionate amount of money on “gaming” keyboards when this exists and harbours the most satisfying typing experience out of all the keyboards I’ve owned in the past, plus there isn’t any visible latency from what I can tell between gaming alongside writing with this thing. It’s mechanical, it’s satisfying, it’s built well and even includes some basic RGB, that’s all most people could ask for in a keyboard nowadays and it’s enough to satify my needs!
This keyboard is unbeatable for the price. Unbelievable. Feels incredible to use with the switches I have. I’ve tried all sorts of keyboards here on amazon and this feels the best to me. The size is perfect for my use case and you can tell the keyboard has high build quality just by touching it.
For gaming, I love to use it. The keys are incredibly responsive and feels great to use. You can also tilt the keyboard more towards you to give more options for each separate individual.
For general use like browsing the internet, you couldn’t get a better keyboard for the price. i have tried keyboards nearly double the price and they weren’t as good as this. They switches are clearly pre lubed and it’s easy to type fast without any strain.
The software isn’t even a must, for the RGB part, it has shortcuts to change the RGB. But with the software it makes it even easier.
Overall, if you want a keyboard that does everything for under 80. Try this one. Looks cool, feels amazing, and it’s relatively cheap. Not much more you could ask.
Overall
Bought this on a whim but I’m amazed how great this keyboard sounds. Very thocky and comfortable to type with, battery lasts what seems to be forever (without rgb). Keycaps could be better but overall great feeling.
The keyboard is absolutely fantastic. It feels very premium and nice to touch, I really love the colour scheme and the typing experience is amazing – the individual key sounds are really satisfying. However, the keyboard lacks Linux support for the wireless connection (2.4GHz), but it is still possible to use in Bluetooth mode, hence the 4-star.
Still, it is well worth the money and I doubt you can find a better keyboard without spending at least twice as much.
Felt compelled to point out the comments from people related to the battery light flashing. If you hold the FN key and press LEFT SHIFT, you can cycle through the battery light / status indicator to flash, stay lit, or completely off. It’s in the manual but easily missed. I have x3 of these keyboards with different switches and keycaps for different moods. It’s that good! Enjoy
+ smooth switches and good sound dampening. great overall sound
+ bright rgb
+ multi-use media dial
+ bluetooth is low latency
+ sturdy build
+ extra switches included
+ moddable
– key caps are not see through on the letters
– vague instructions
– battery light does not stop flashing
This is my first mechanical keyboard and I couldn’t be happier. The keys are so smooth, the Reaper switches are very responsive, and I could feel the quality of the build straight out of the box. It has a poppy creamy sound which is what I wanted. Loved all the colour options as well. For the price, I think what you’re getting is incredible and akin to some really expensive keyboards I’ve played around with.
First time to buy a mechanical keyboard and this product did not disappoint. The overall feel of the keyboard is amazing. I have small hands so the size is just perfect. So happy with my purchase!
