BOYI TK96 90% RGB Hot Swappable Triple Mode Keyboard,2.4Ghz/BT 5.0/Wired Keyboard N-Key Rollover Compact Gateron Yellow Switch Mechanical Gaming Keyboard(Zoological&Botanical Gardens XDA Keycaps)

The BOYI TK96 90% RGB Hot Swappable Triple Mode Keyboard,2.4Ghz/Bluetooth 5.0/Wired Keyboard N-Key Rollover Custom Compact Gateron Yellow Switch Mechanical Gaming Keyboard(Mars Green OEM Keycap: This is a really nice prebuilt mechanical keyboard. Gateron are among some of my favorite switches and these yellows are very nice linier switches. Also the keycaps feel, sound and look great as well. I prefer shine through caps as I work allot at night, so I will probably change these out for some shine throughs. However these are super nice and feel, sound and look awesome. There is no deck flex and all feels very well made and solid. There is a very, very slight ping at the bottom of the stroke, but otherwise the whole thing feels and sounds great. This leaves a little something for the keyboard moders to do. To be clear this is not really detectable on a solid surface. Overall the sound is very good. The chaise is all ABS on the outside, with a metal plate on the inside. Switches are hot swappable, and the keyboard comes with a keycap and switch puller, as well as 4 extra switches for when you wear out the W,S,A,D. This is a very compelling keyboard for the money, and the software driver is very nice and gives you control over lighting and key sensitivity. You can also control the lighting on the keyboard itself. All the normal lighting modes are present, however even at the slowest speed they move pretty fast. The LEDs are very bright, with very saturated colors and other than the quick speeds they look great. The keyboard base lays flat with no feet for angles. Some will love this, specially those who dont love wrist wrests. For others this will sit a bit low in the back, if you are used to a tall angle. I feel like the base sits at a decent height, however I do prefer a bit more angle, or at least Ive gotten used to more of an angle, but this feels good. Overall I feel like this is a great prebuilt for the money. Great switches, great key caps, a solid deck, and at least some of the normal moding improvements are already done for you. This is a great place to start if you dont want to build from scratch. This comes great right out of the box, and gives you plenty of room to personalize, with different caps and switches should you want. Overall I very much like this prebuilt mechanical keyboard for the money. Well done BOYI, great keyboard.

Edit: The customer service response was very quick. They are taking care of my problem so I highly recommend a company that works hard to make sure its customers are happy. This is a great keyboard with a really solid construction on the foundation. I love how compact it is for having a full keypad. The problem is I had several bad switches out of the box and even though it came with three extra switches I’ve already use those. So I have no margin for error and I’m concerned what happens the next time the switch goes bad. I don’t have any yellows. So if I replace a switch it’s not going to match. I didn’t go lower because I do have a full function keyboard but I no longer have any margin for error. The next switch that dies I will not have a replacement. I don’t know if this is an issue with the yellow switches or not. But perhaps they need to start including a lot larger number of replacement switches. Perhaps even a full set..

if youre just breaking into the world of custom keyboards, this is a mostly excellent choice. At this price, its really hard to find anything better. The PCB is compatible with 3 and 5 pin switches, and while the software is fully featured, There are a lot of issues with it. It is very slow to respond and does not show you what the System Functions are, it just tells you that you cant modify them. And while the process is very slow, you can reprogram all of your keys. So if you want to set the keyboard to function as a macro board or with Colemak/Devorak, you can do that! Just be patient... the software has to update the firmware after EVERY SINGLE CHANGE. It would be great if you could queue up several changes and then commit them all at once, like with ZMK firmware, but this isnt a deal breaker. That said, its also not intuitive. If you want the J key to be an N key (as in the Colemak layout), you click on the J key in the software and are presented with a menu that wants you lick Ctrl, Alt, Shift, or Win and then type a single activation key. Not intuitive, but the solution is to just NOT check a modifier key. You can also set and record macros, but you have to navigate to the Macro tab and record the macro first. Not a big deal, but coming from Razer, Logitech, and SteelSeries keyboards that have far more intuitive setups, this was a bit jarring. The macro editor itself isnt terrible, and I appreciate that you can mix mouse and keyboard button presses, just know you cannot mass-edit the delays between key presses after youve recorded, so make sure you set your delay time before if you want a baseline. Again: Dont lose the cheat sheet that the board comes with or you wont know what the functions are. My baby got a hold of it and destroyed it, so now I cant figure out how to turn on the backlights (once theyre off, the software will not turn them on). While there are manuals available on their website in the Download section, none of them are for this keyboard. The switches themselves are a bit spongy for my personal taste with too much travel, but that is easily remedied with a quick switch replacement. The board is shockingly heavy which makes for a pleasant typing experience with a satisfying sound. This would be a home run 5-star product if the software were more responsive, if the built-in functions were visible within the software, and if there were a downloadable manual available.

Yo, This Mars keyboard has serious swaggg!!!! Love the backlight, love that it has the OPTION to be wired or bluetooth, as I prefer to use wired always -- because bluetooth is not good for the body. Loving the click-clack with each key press, really gives it that old school typewriter feel. I am happy to have a new keyboard, as I am long overdue and have been using the same one for ten years. Cheers to the next ten years!!

The Boyi TK96 is an excellent compact wired/wireless RGB keyboard, in fact is so good that there are barely any negatives to speak of about this one. Naturally, there are a lot of positives to list about this model and as I mentioned a very few negatives, but before that a few quick words about the packing and presentation. I currently have a lot of different mechanical keyboards, but is my first from Boyi and I am impressed by the retail packaging and contents, this model comes in a box that doesnt outline all the key features and important specifications nor does it have any images of the product inside, but it looks and feels very premium. Inside the box, there is the keyboard, a small user manual in English, metal keycaps removal tool, keys removal tool, extra keys in case you need to replace some, and USB-A to USB-C braided cable that is also housing the USB wireless receiver. Positives: - Compact, portable and easy to carry - The small footprint 100 keys size is great, especially if you are working on a smaller desk or if you are planning on traveling with it, it is perfect. - Functionality - the keyboard can be used wired and wireless with a 2.4G wireless receiver, with Bluetooth connection, and wired as well, it can be connected to any computer that has an available USB port or it has Bluetooth connectivity. Personally I prefer using it wired as the latency is great while gaming and I dont need to worry about the battery life. Speaking of battery life, the built-in battery is rated at 3500mah and it can last a long time, even over a month, depending on the usage. - RGB backlight across the whole keyboard keys - There are a lot of different RGB backlight modes that you can cycle from, you can also increase and decrease the speed and the light intensity, and if you are a fan of single color backlights, there is an option for that too, for those that dont like RGB or any light, it can be completely switched off as well. - Detachable, soft USB cable - the included cable is a high quality one, soft and long enough, its length is about 5 feet, but because its detachable, you can always pick up a longer one and replace it. Being soft is great, as you can rout easily around your desk and worry about knocking small objects over or creating resistance. - Inexpensive - for the functionality and options offered, the price tag of under $100 is great, very competitively priced. - Good sticky rubber feet on the bottom, unfortunately the rear ones are not able to be raised up from the desk, but those included rubber feet are preventing the keyboard from sliding on your desk surface. - Physical switch on the bottom corner to turn off and on the wireless mode. - Yellow key switches - This is the first time I have tried a keyboard with yellow ones, but I have to say that they are pretty close to red switches which are my favorite kind of mechanical switches, they are very close to be as silent or responsive as the red ones and provide enough tactile feedback. - Good quality ABS plastic key caps in several colors. - Four different color combinations and bases - Mars Green, Matcha, Marshmallow, Botanical Gardens. Negatives: - The provided cable is a bit short, but that is more nitpicking than actual negative. - A little on the expensive side, but the keyboard is high quality, so it is kind of understandable. - No braided USB cable, and the USB connector is on the left top side of the keyboard and not being able to be routed on both sides or center, but at least it is detachable and can be replaced. Overall, I love this keyboard, It has plenty of functionality, good backlight option and comfort.

Got the keyboard today! very nice noises and it is pretty! definitely would recommend!

Heavy weight to it. GREAT mechanical keyboard, especially if this is your first one. Typing is super smooth. There are several ways to connect it to your computer too which is a really nice touch! You can connect it via bluetooth, wifi, or with the cord it comes with. The lights are super pretty and this green color is a beautiful peaceful vibe that I am loving! I highly recommend this! it even comes with extra key caps and the key remover tool so if you want to change up the design you totally can. I highly recommend!!

Got this as a gift for Valentines day. Its absolutely beautiful and exactly what I wanted. But unfortunately for me, 50% of the keys dont function and relay. Will sadly have to try for a replacement. It truly is a beautiful and beautiful sounding keyboard however, just sucks that it didnt work on the first go. But it happens.

This keyboard has a great feel on the fingers. The keys sound very pleasing, not too loud. There’s many light modes, and a long battery life. When using the lights, the battery is reduced significantly, but without it, it lasts about a week. The power switch is under the keyboard so you have to flip it over to turn it off. That and the fact that there’s no dedicated volume buttons are my only quips. I give this keyboard an overall 4.5 stars

Looks absolutely stunning in person. The keyboard has such a nice sound to it. It came packaged nicely, and the product itself feels very solid & high quality. It comes with extra key caps, a keycap puller, and some yellow switches. The instruction manual is great and so if the RGB, but I wish it could light up in a solid color and the RGB clashes with the keyboard aesthetic! Overall, I really like it.
