Excellent Gaming Keyboard
The Koorui mechanical gaming keyboard was easy to set up and use. The mixed colours LED backlit keys are vibrant, and the compact design is perfect for a gaming setup. The blue switches provide a satisfying tactile feel. Overall, it’s an excellent keyboard for gaming and general use.
Price to performance
I love this brand, it’s so reliable. For 30 a keyboard of this quality should be higher priced. In addition, the shipping is great, next day delivery for FREE!!
Please buy this keyboard if your a gamer.
good budget keyboard
I have received this Koorui 60% mechanical keyboard, to review on behalf of Amazon. It arrived promptly and well packaged.
This is a well built keyboard, especially at its price of 29.99 at time of writing. The keys feel nice and snappy to press. The lighting is nicely done, with the ability to change how bright they are. Personally, I’m not a great fan of 60% keyboards, but my Autistic son prefers them. They keyboard feels responsive to use, and I haven’t had any issues with lag, thus far.
Nice and "clicky".
This is a nice feeling, surprisingly solid, clicky keyboard. I think it would be good for gaming use, although I mainly used it for emails and web browsing. The form factor is nice too. I’m not really a fan of RGB stuff, but as RGB goes, it looks pretty good, I guess.
Solid keyboard with useful gaming features
This is a very solid feeling keyboard with excellent, positive movement on every key. A phalanx of function keys and backlighting mark it out as a gaming keyboard, though the lights don’t add anything in terms of functionality. Connecting it to a PC is a breeze through the supplied cable. Just remember to select your operating environment: Windows or Apple.
Instructions are clear, though printed in the smallest font imaginable. My only caveat would be the way the keyboard doesn’t retain its last light settings, meaning the backlighting can’t be switched off permanently. You have to do that every time the keyboard is reconnected.
Solid budget mechanical keyboard
KOORUI 60% Mechanical Gaming Keyboard Black with Red Switch – Review
As someone who is quite a keyboard enthusiast, I was excited to try out this budget 60% mechanical keyboard from Koorui. I’ve heard good things about this brand, especially regarding their monitors. This keyboard features a compact 60% layout that is great for maximising mouse space. The keyboard feels solid for its price. It is made from plastic but feels fairly rigid. The red switches are not the smoothest but they are linear and have a medium actuation force. Good for gaming and typing use. Stabilisers are poor for the larger keys but this is to be expected on a budget board. The RGB lighting looks nice and the keycaps are double shot so the light shines through the legends. A big feature of this board is the layout. Being a UK layout is quite rare, so for the UK market this is great to see.
Overall, for 26.00, at the time of review, this keyboard offers a good baseline for a mechanical keyboard. While the stabilisers for large keys rattle a lot and aren’t great the switches feel alright and the general build quality is fine too. For this price, it is hard to complain. I’d recommend this to anyone looking for a budget board to get into mechanical keyboards.
Really nice budget keyboard!
So, knocked off a star mostly because the description said there would be extra switches for you to try hot-swapping to see which you like, I got very excited at the opportunity to try out brown switches specifically as I’ve never managed to test a keyboard with those. Other than that bit of disappointment, the keyboard is really nice. Feels quality and performs well, used it to play a couple of days of counter strike and played just as well as on my keyboard, only having to swap back because I found it a little tedious to access the F keys which I use in a variety of situations. If you’re not an avid user of the f-keys this form factor is perfect for you and the keyboard will be brilliant.
Definitely good value for money, will update this review if I ever get myself key switches to test out the hot-swappable feature with!
Compact space saving classic keyboard
Good petite keyboard with RGB colours.
Responsive keys, and loving the classic clicking sound.
The addition led lit up keys also added more fun to the gaming.
Lovely the compact and retro feel, mixing with the modern look.
The built quality is decent with replaceable keys.
Reasonable at 30.
RGB Mechanical Keyboard
This keyboard has a nice mechanical click feel to it over the cheaper tactile keyboards that are mostly around today. One advantage of a mechanical keyboard over a tactile one is the response time when gaming is slightly quicker to register and thus giving you a fractional advantage over your opponents.
The keyboard is plugged in via USB C cable. They keys have good RGB backlighting which have 26 different modes dependent on the user.
The keyboard also comes with 6 additional coloured codes keys than you can switch out depending on what game / configuration you have so you can easily identify said keys.
Decent gaming keyboard at a decent price.
4 stars.
Compact & accurate keyboard
This 68 key mechanical keyboard from Koorui, as the description says is about 60% of the size of a traditional keyboard, The space saving mostly comes from the omission of a number keypad on the right hand side and the top row of number keys doubling up as function keys.
The keys are of a nice size with just the right amount of travel, and typing accuracy is good. The size reduction means that many keys have multiple functions that are accessed using various modifier keys (alt, fn, ctrl, etc). These a little fiddly at first, but once you get used to them are perfectly adequate.
All the keys are backlit with four coloured zones across the width of the keyboard. As far as I can tell, it’s not possible to change the colour scheme. There is certainly no mention of this in the included instruction leaflet.
I was a little surprised at the depth of the keyboard base. When placed flat on my desk, I found the typing position to be uncomfortable. But, with the foldable feet extended, the typing position was much better.
The keyboard claims to be “waterproof, with a design that quickly drains accidental spills” I didn’t put this to the test. The instruction book also claims that the keyboard is “quiet” in use. Now I know this is entirely subjective, but I would not class this as a quiet keyboard, I don’t think many mechanical keyboards can be classed as quiet, certainly not when compared to a membrane-based keyboard on a laptop, for example.
Connectivity is simple. The supplied cable has a USB A plug on the PC end, and a USB C connector at the keyboard end. On my Windows 11 PC, the keyboard was detected immediately, with no obvious sign of drivers being loaded.
If you need a small footprint, backlit keyboard that won’t take up much space in you bag. This will do nicely. This review was typed on the keyboard in question.
A great compact keyboard
A great little keyboard that solves a common problem. Laptops are great and compact, ideal for the mobile worker, but when I need to do a lot of typing, the laptop keyboard can be tiresome to use. Taking this keyboard gives a full keyboard typing experience, while being compact and small enough to fit in my bag. It also lights up, allowing me to see the keys nicely in dark conditions. If you like lighting effects, this one has many to choose from.
When I tried typing a letter, the keys were nice and firm, giving a comfortable and satisfying typing experience (blue switch). By default, the keyboard light comes on steady and quite bright. The keyboard is quite weighty and has feet to help prevent sliding around. There are two pull-out legs that allow you to tilt the back of the keyboard upwards. I was expecting spare keys to be provided as it says in the description, but they were not in the box.
Other than not having the spare keys as promised, this is a great little keyboard to take around with you, good for gaming and normal use, so I have no trouble recommending it.
nicely designed keyboard, good action to switches, RGB fun. Wired only
PROS
-really nice action to keys
-keycaps very concave, fit my fingers really nicely
-RGB effects fun (and there are very many to choose from)
-properly placed arrow keys (they are full sized, and up/down are centred over each other)
-includes separate page up/down/home/del keys
-love that I can set this keyboard for a Windows or a Mac layout (I use both OSs)
-there are a lot of Function-key functions built in, for both Windows and MacOS
CONS
-wired only (no option for bluetooth)
-RGB is not at key-level (even though effects can e.g. be set to ripple out from individual keys, the red/orange/green/blue/violet LEDs are in fixed positions on the keyboard)
NOTES
-I’m used to the Fn (Function) key being on the left side of any keyboard, the Fn key on this keyboard is on the right hand side (easy to get used to though, so no worries)
-the manual says that the red switches in this keyboard are “quiet”. Usually people don’t order mechanical keyboards so they can be quiet! (while the switches are quiet, the keys, when they bottom out, make quite a noticeable “clack”, which I like, but it’s not suitable for a quiet office)
MY STAR RATINGS:
1* substandard, mostly cons
2** barely acceptable, cons outweigh the pros
3*** meets the basic requirements, cons balance the pros
4**** good product, pros outweigh the cons
5***** exceptional, all (or almost all) pros
Absolutely love this backlit gaming keyboard with mechancial connections, perfect for whole family.
This is a beautiful and so stylish Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, Ultra Compact with 69 keys, and in mixed colours with an LED back light. Uses a type C cable, and features 26 back lighting modes even with RGB effects, and then 6 extra switches, 2 each of red /brown /blue.
It is available at time of writing in Black or White, I chose the white, it looks so stylish, and I already have ordinary black keyboards from every era, so this is such a change.
The keys are mechanical, so that means they make a full keystroke connection or registration, even when multiple keys are pressed, whereas old keyboards are, generally, a small rubber to circuit board connection, which although quieter, can lead to missed characters in text or for gaming could be a great loss to score.
This keyboard’s super-responsive speed keeps up with the best game moves, for a seamless gaming experience on your laptop or PC.
There are also 12 multi-function keys for multimedia use, including volume adjustment and media playback.
One of the makers (KOORUI) images shows the many Backlit combinations which can be created with the keyboards function key (‘Fn’), the main ones being Fn+X = Light Switch,
Fn+UpArrow OR Fn+DownArrow = Backlight Intensity,
Fn+Shift = Light Mode Switch, and Fn+[{ OR Fn+]} = Light Flow Speed.
As soon as I plugged the USB-C cable into the keyboard and then into my laptop, the keyboard came to life instantly, with a lovely, but gentle backlighting RGB mode, and as mentioned there are many backlighting modes, which not only bring so much joy to our young children, but even when I am typing text later at night, I can actually SEE the keyboard and letters/numbers.
I have included 15 images of the keyboard in and out the packing, and also myself using the keyboard on one of my many own games, being an older dad, my games are somewhat ‘calmer’ but still great fun for the odd hour to unwind.
Thank you for such a great product, truly, it is another item that deserves more than 5 stars.
The 6 extra switches weren't in the box
This is a well built mechanical keyboard. The blue switch keys are clicky and responsive to key presses. The lights can be dimmed or turned off completely, unfortunately it defaults to on when plugged in.
I prefer red switches, but the blue switches didn’t mess with my speed much and performed well. The bottom of the keyboard has rubber feet to keep it in place, there are also rubber feet on the risers to.
Being a mini keyboard means it was a little less comfortable as there is no palm rest location. A key remover is included.
That you can get a well built keyboard that has all these features for only 29.99 is great value for money.
Note: the listing says it includes 6 switches (2 red, 2 blue and 2 brown), however they were not included in my packaging.
