CIY X77 Hot-Swappable Mechanical Keyboard/RGB Gaming Keyboard/USB C/Anti Ghosting/N-Key Rollover/Compact Layout 87 Key/Detachable Magnetic Upper Cover/Wired Keyboard for Mac Windows

Got this keyboard while looking for a quality mechanical board with backlight. Im not a gamer (yet, but why should gamers have all the fun and get the cool toys) but like the tactile feel of a good mechanical board. This one does the trick. My first foray into a gaming board I like the feel and length of the throw of the keys, good solid feedback while typing. As a few people have stated the backlight doesnt get as bright as I wish but it does a good job. Lots of options available, feels good to use and the price is right.

Everything is great considering the price. The only thing to look out for is the usb port is recessed and the fit is tight. If youre planning on using a custom cable, or replacement cable, your choice might be limited.

Unbelievable board or the price. After a couple mods, it really shines. This is my first TKL and it has accidently become my daily driver.

The build quality is pretty good for the price, although it does feel a bit cheap compared to higher-end models. The LED backlighting is bright and pretty. One minor issue Ive had is the space bar rattling a bit. Overall, I would recommend this keyboard to someone on a tight budget who is looking for a decent gaming keyboard. It may not have all the bells and whistles of more expensive models, but it gets the job done. You can also change the look of the keyboard easily since its hot swappable!

Have had this keyboard for 2 years now and still doing great! I mainly got it for the looks as I don’t game as much as I used to, but overall better quality than expected. Swapped my keys and switches for low profile otemu browns and low profile keycaps. Haven’t went back ever since. Will update this with pics when I get the chance sometime.

Very nice stabilizers little to no moding. Red switches are good quality. Amasing northfacing LEDs with different modes. I would recommend this to both Gamers and keyboard enthusiasts.

While I was initially disappointed that the only switches available in the black frame were blue, I took it as an opportunity to test the capabilities of the board. With new switches and board in hand, I proceeded to swap everything out. The process was simple (I ended up having to do it twice due to unrelated foam issues) and the construction seems solid in my clue of weeks of use. The only issue I had was getting the website to pull up for downloading the software, but by using http://(website included in the package) and giving the site time, it all worked out and I got the software downloaded in less than an hour. All in all, I highly recommend the board and if the other people in my.lofe were good with TKL designs, Id be ordering more.

Great keyboard if youre looking to mod a TKL, design is nice and the inside gives decent room for stuffing. stuffed mine with cabinet liners you find at walmart, and it seemed todo the job nicely. AKKO Matcha green switches were added and it THOCCS. for the price range this this is a steal. no serious issues so far. PROS: good price, good mod capabilities, sturdy and well built with some type of enthusiast in mind, really budget friendly (coming from someone who never spends more than 70$ on a keyboard) my 4th keyboard ive been able to mod and it has been one of my favorite keebs to this date CONS: lets talk about the bad, Stabilizers, above i mentioned it was builder friendly , but these stabilizers were pre lubed, really heavy and mushy, (ESPECIALLY the space bar) took my multiple tries to get these stabs to not feel really heavy even with unlubed stock reds it came with, adding a decent amount of dielectric grease to stabs made it wayy too mushy so i would recommend replacing them, if you do plan on keeping them then maybe 205g0 lube (lightly lube the stab until you get a good feel ) or lightly apply dielectric grease.(this method is more of a swing and miss, took me a couple tries to feel satisfied with how the stabilizers felt with grease. sometimes was too heavy so i would have to remove them and clean them and reapply the grease) 2. another thing was the closing part of the case, everything went smooth but the wire inside the pcb had to be bent and kept a certain way or the pcb would not close withthe case, make sure you keep an eye on it as it will get caught on the rivets of the case and not fully close, squish down to a C shape under the usb-c dongle and you should be ok 3. the cable, the nose is extra long because the case protrudes a bit from the usb dongle and blocks any other cables from being used other than the original because the other cables are too short. which is an issue for those wanting aviator cables or custom cables , make sure to find the right size first before purchasing custom cables, trust me youll thank me later, the one from my previous keyboard didnt fit this one due to the case issue stated above,

Gaming keyboard is cool to use. Has a nice ergonomic feel. Easy to set up and use.

This is a good keyboard if you are looking for something that that has swappable key switches but not something extremely expensive. This is a smaller keyboard (not as small as those 60% keyboards as it is a bit more spaced out between the directional keys and the main keys). Note that you will not have the number pad on the side so if you are looking for that, this will not work. You do get a smaller keyboard. The default switches are pretty decent gaming keyboard. I have a limited space on my desk at home so this works great for what I need. First thing to note is that the gaming keyboard is NOT wireless. It does utilize a type c cable in order to plug directly into the keyboard which is great. The wire is interchangeable so if you want a longer wire you can change the cable. That being said the wire is already long to begin with. The wire itself is okay material but I am actually worried that overtime it may fray if you happen to be plugging this in and out. It is not made of nylon fiber to keep it from fraying easily. They also could get tangled and twisted pretty easily. That being said, it also does not bend easily but if you do put enough force there will be a more permanent crease where you fold it. This keyboard is a smaller size making it a bit easier to take with you if you need it. It has stands on the side to prop the keyboard up. The grip on the bottom is pretty decent to prevent it it from sliding. This is not what I would consider a 60% keyboard because there is still space between the right of CTRL, Enter, and the direction keys on the right. When I compared it to my other 60% mechanical, they would normally has directional keys on the bottom right with NO space to give it a more compact look. The switches and keys can be removed for cleaning. You can also remove the top frame so you can easily just turn it on the side and spray the debris out. From what I can tell the keys do not look laser on but it does not look like they will rub off very easily even with heavy use. Unfortunately I am sure it will start to rub off over long period of time so be aware of that. I took one of the keys off and it is pretty easy to remove the key switches. It does come with the tools needed to do it. I was able to switch out the switches pretty easily. The default switches are pretty good so far. After a few games and typing, I can say these are okay switches for what I need it for. It may not work for everyone so you can swap it as needed. The back lit default is rainbow color The response if very good and you do not have about any delayed response. I played final fantasy 14 on this and it worked pretty well. It actually made healing a lot easier as I do not have to reach far for the keys. I also tried it with first person shooters and it ran just fine. Overall this is a good keyboard if you are limited on space on your desk or want a keyboard to take on the go. Be aware that this is not 60% keyboard and is slightly bigger. It is less compact but still easy to carry around when needed. The keys did not take too much time to get used to. This is using a type c which is great. The switches are very easy to replace with the tools provided. It also seems compatible which most switches I have tried so far. . The keyboard is pretty well made in terms of sturdiness. It is a good alternative to the more expensive ones.
