> 3 daySo my mother is losing her vision and she frequently mistypes. Due to this shes become incredible picky about keyboards. I started out with an ergonomic keyboard (curved) and it was fine for a while...then it wasnt - this is a recurring theme in the quest for a good keyboard : ) I then switched to the yellow and black low vision keyboard with the huge font that are sold by basically everyone. It was $20, it had the lowest activation threshold I had ever used (up until that point), and I thought it was great (I use an Apple Magic Keyboard, so no travel and light activation is what I really like). We then tried the Vizio 5 color backlit keyboard, which had an even lighter activation/travel point - basically you could almost blow on the keys and they would register. My moms typing/misspelling got even worse. So, I decided we would go in the complete opposite direction - keys with long travel that need a little more force than membrane keyboards. I checked out all the switch types and ruled out clickies. I also ruled out anything that needed a ton of force, but werent insanely light (like membrane keyboards). Optical black linear switches seemed to be the way to go. Quiet, long travel, and a little bit of force needed to avoid typing errors without stressing out your hands. Ive tried at least 5 different keyboards, and every time I raved about how great each keyboard was...until my mother rejected every one of them. The font on the cheap yellow and black low vision keyboards start to wear out after 2 months, the Vizio was just...the keys are so light anyone would be making errors, the ergonomic keyboard (Microsoft) was...fine...I guess. I personally hate them. The basic Dell keyboards are white on black and really hard to see for people with low vision. Thats where the Dustsilver came in. Its $70. I got the red/white/blue and orange one (check their site, its still available). Its sold out on Amazon, I think because it was the best looking (their designs need some help). The keys have a huge font, the keycaps are black on white so you can see them in low light and theyre PBT. They also are quiet, without being silent, so there is sound feedback, but they arent thonky or clicky and they are VERY smooth. Basically if you need a keyboard for someone with bad vision and weak hands this keyboard is probably the best youre going to do at this price point. This thing is built like a tank...just make sure you get a wrist rest - its kind of tall/thick. Purists will reject this due to the optical switches, but I quite like them. I really like laptop and Apple Magic Keyboards, but for a keyboard with long travel, this thing is great. I just whish they made it in 65% or 75% - Id buy one in a second (I cant stand full size keyboards). Anyway, check out the dustsilver.com if you want one of these that isnt hideous.

> 3 dayI love this thing! It comes extremely well-packaged; surrounded in foam and with a hard plastic cover that you can keep and use to protect your keyboard from dust and grime. It also comes with all the accessories individually packaged. You get a kecap and switch puller combination, a USB-C cable, one each of a black, blue, silver, red, and brown switch to further customize your keyboard, and although it is not pictured, a USB-C to USB-A connector. The keyboard features Gateron switches. I got the red, and along with the PBT keycaps, they make this keyboard feel smooth and pillowy to type on. They are pretty darn quiet but still with a smooth crisp feel. The keyboard features pink plate on the top, and underneath it is the wireless/bluetooth/wired switch, as well as secure storage for the 2.4 Ghz dongle. That is a very clever place to put it. You just slide off the plate and you can change the connection mode and remove or replace the dongle. The sides of the keyboard also slide off, but that is more for cosmetics and maybe for more customization as there are no buttons under the sides. The keyboard has RGB backlighting that does not shine through the keycaps. I guess it is hard to get the cutouts to work with the RGB, so be aware that the lighting is really an effect. They profile of the keys are XDA. The keytops have a nice slope to them that makes touch typing pleasant. You will get all the home cluster keys in addition to all four arrow keys without having to use Fn combinations. You get a booklet that shows you what Fn combinations to press to change the RGB backlighting colors, speed, brightness, and effects. The keyboard is pretty much plug and play, but you can go to the manufacturers website and download drivers to customize the keyboard through software if you like. The keyboard must be wired for that to work. There are both Windows and Mac drivers, although they are shared through Google Drive and are not signed, which is something the company needs to improve. The color and style of the keyboard is really unique. I love the sky blue and pink, and the typeface of the fonts on the keys is more of a gamer font, but still easy to read. This has become one of my favorite keyboards, and I would highly recommend it. It has a distinctive look and feel that will be a welcome customization to any computer setup.

> 3 dayOkay, Im going to be really honest here - I bought this keyboard solely because of the color scheme. Its got those classic Gundam colors, and I couldnt resist. However, the keyboard itself is also perfect. This thing feels great. Im a freelance writer, and I really need a keyboard that I can use for hours. This one fits the bill perfectly. In addition to the keyboard, it comes with a key removal tool and dusting brush, which are a nice touch. It also came with four sample inputs in cyan, black, brown, and red. Honestly, if I were to buy another keyboard, Id probably choose one with cyan (or blue) switches. These red switches are great, and smooth, but the sound from the cyan switches is so satisfying.

> 3 dayThis DUSTSILVER Wireless Mechanical Keyboard measures 14.02 x 5.35 x 1.63 and weighs 3 pounds. This DUSTSILVER Wireless Mechanical Keyboard is about 765% of a standard keyboard and does not include a 10-keypad. In exchange, you get a streamlined experience that looks great with a minimal desktop setup. This DUSTSILVER Wireless Mechanical Keyboard has hot-swappable keys and macros editing software to customize your experience with this keyboard. We used this keyboard for close to 6 months with a standard Windows PC. The typing experience is impeccable and the keyboard is striking, the keys give satisfying feedback, and the RGBs help round out the visual experience. What I liked most about this DUSTSILVER Wireless Mechanical Keyboard was: - Aesthetics - Responsiveness - Typing Experience - Customization Options - RGBs What I liked least about this DUSTSILVER Wireless Mechanical Keyboard was: - I wish it came with keys for the Mac Overall, if you are in the market for a mechanical keyboard that integrates Pink in its colorway then this DUSTSILVER Wireless Mechanical Keyboard is an excellent choice to consider. This DUSTSILVER Wireless Mechanical Keyboard is responsive, the keys have great tactile feedback, and its beautiful. I wish this keyboard shipped with a CMD key so I could customize it for Mac but it works just fine with Windows. 4.5 out of 5.0

22-11-2024This keyboard is so well made and looks so damn dated but stylish. The quality is amazing and typing with it is very precise. It is very heavy, but has a small food print due to the 84-key design. The clicking of the buttons reminds me of the past. Its a good mix of old design and newer tech under the hood. The USB, BT and 2.4GHz connection is a big plus to connect the keyboard to different PCs. The RGB light looks particularly chic in a darker configuration. I love using the keyboard and really hope it lasts a long time. It could also be a good keyboard for the elderly or people with disabilities. All in all a 5 star product without question and you will get what you paid for. Highly recommend.

> 3 dayI bought this keyboard and it came with black switches. It worked great, unfortunately it did start having some issues. I reached out to DustSilver and after doing some troubleshooting with them they were able to expedite getting me a replacement. I was able to choose the same keyboard with blue switches and I am so glad I made the change to the switches. The sharp click is so satisfying. I highly recommend this brand great products and even better customer service. Thank you again to everyone at DustSilver you guys were great to work with.
