> 3 dayi have recently fallen down the youtube rabbit hole of keyboard modding, and mostly i just find it fascinating because i like the sounds and the fact that people have such specific knowledge about things that are mostly inconsequential. however, i wanted a nice keyboard that would incentivize me to type (yk increased productivity and such), so i did some research and decided to get this keyboard, cause i liked the keycaps and it seemed to be good quality with opportunities to upgrade but no need if youre not picky. and i have to say, i am very impressed. all the keyboard people tend to scoff at prebuilt boards, and maybe my hands and ears are untrained, but this board is incredible right out of the box. it sounds and feels amazing to type on, ive never actually wanted to type before this but the experience is wonderful now. it sounds like lightly falling rain. the keycaps have a smooth, solid feel to them without being either too matted or too slick. the gateron yellows are like typing on a cloud, and im surprised i like them, because i usually like clicky keyboards, not smooth ones (i ordered this before i knew what the difference between the kinds of switches was). and the rgb is incredible. like i said, maybe im just inexperienced to the keyboard world, but this feels like a luxury keyboard, and from what ive seen under $100 is considered cheap, so if you want a nice keyboard but dont want to spend an insane amount of money and time deciding on boards and brands and switches and keycaps, i say go with this one. this is my first ever amazon review too, im just that passionate. only two criticisms: the key shortcuts are a little strange on mac. the pause button increases the brightness, but fn + i decreases the brightness. that seems a little arbitrary. also, the bluetooth is hard to get connected. ive only had it for a day so im pretty sure its user error, but i havent been able to figure out how to get the bluetooth to work. not much of a concern though, because the little dongle for the wireless connection works great and theres no lag. but yeah, if that continues to be a problem ill probably call customer support or something. tldr: mostly just typed this whole thing because its really fun to type on, so, do with that what you will.

> 3 dayAfter thoroughly researching for a good beginner mechanical keyboard that was hot-swappable and I would not need to customize through soldering, I finally decided to purchase the Weather theme keyboard with yellow switches. The sound and feel of the keyboard are great, the design is very pretty and has not faded after lots of typing, and I love that it has three inclinations: the default inclination, and two higher inclinations that can be achieved by popping open the feet. My small hands fit perfectly in the keyboard and switching between devices is very quick using Bluetooth. The keycaps have a slight dip for comfortable typing. It all seemed so perfect until it wasn’t. Less then two weeks after purchase, the RGB lighting suddenly dimmed and only a few keys had light coming through. I tried to turn the lighting off and on again, switching the lighting modes, etc. But the lighting was stuck on Blue, with only a few keys lit up. The keyboard was charged at over 75% when it happened, so lack of charging was not the problem. A few days after the lights suddenly started working again, so I thought they perhaps it was a temporary malfunction. But less than a week later, the RGB lighting got stuck on blue with only a few keys lit up. For context, when the RGB lighting stopped working the first time, I had the lights set up on the violet color. The second time, I had it set to yellow. After this second time of RGB not working, I have decided to return the keyboard before the return window closes. It is really too bad. It was great while it lasted, easy in the eyes, and great to travel with.

> 3 dayI don’t recommend this for gaming as it doesn’t have designated F1-F11 buttons, but I use it for work and it’s amazing. The key sounds are just A+. Also the included key caps are adorable

> 3 dayI spent weeks looking for a wireless 65-68% keyboard that is hot swappable, and most of the famous ones like NJ68, KBDLite 67 or Ikki68 got sold out months ago. Keychron and RK are widely available but I didnt want to go with them due to the build quality. I bought this keyboard thinking out of curiosity, thinking a good keyboard with all the features I was looking for cannot be at this price point, or else the build would be quite cheap. Turned out I was very wrong: Ive had a bunch of keyboards from Ducky, Filco, Leopold, HHKB, Realforce, etc and would place this keyboard on the higher end of the spectrum of the build feel. Its very solid and quite heavy although being plastic. It comes with USB Type-C, 2.4Ghz, 5.0 bluetooth; multiple RBG modes; and PBT keycaps. Switches and stabs are prelubed as well, which is very generous. Ive swapped the original Gateron switches with Boba U4, and there was zero issue. The only downside I can think of is that it doesnt support optical switches. But other than that, for $80, this is an amazing deal.

> 3 dayI went ahead and replaced the keycaps because I just wanted to. The originals look really good! Unlike what everyone else said, the switches on this keyboard are NOT switched nor are they filmed, though I will say that the stablizers are lubed which is good! Even if I didnt decide the lube or film the switches, the keyboard sounds amazing. It is a 3-pin hot swap board so you can throw in your own switches. The bluetooth and dongle are fast and responsive and Im really happy with the product, quite the prebuilt keyboard for the price!!

> 3 dayThis is a really good keyboard for the price. The bluetooth is not great, but the wireless dongle works just fine. Its even faster in the response when its wired. I do think having the cable on the left of the keyboard (literally on the left surface side) is rather different, but it doesnt bother me since I mainly use it wireless. Havent tried gaming with it because Im not using this keyboard with my PC. Anyway, I lubbed the switches (I got the yellow ones) and they sound amazing! The seller also responds fast and overall I recommend this keyboard.
