FIRSTBLOOD ONLY GAME. AK33 Geek Wired Mechanical Keyboard, 82 Keys Layout, Blue Switch, White LED Backlit, Aluminum Portable Gaming Keyboard, Pluggable Cable, for Games Work and Daily Use, Pink

A fantastic keyboard if you want a compact mechanical board without having to pay the exorbant fees of a custom board, the lighting effects are also rather nice, if not slightly dim when compared to my last board, but that barely matters when I paid 3 times less for this one!

I previously bought a keyboard from AJAZZ about three or four years ago, and they sent me the keyboard on the left side, which worked great. I had no problems with it during my four years of use. It did everything it should do and it was responsive and crisp. Overall it is a steal of a keyboard for the price. However, I had to buy a replacement after I spilled water on it, and some keys stopped working. I went to buy another keyboard from AJAZZ, because I thought I would get the exact same keyboard as I had gotten 4 years ago. Instead I received the keyboard on the right. It had black switches instead of the blue switches advertised, and the keycaps are different than the image. If you can get the keyboard advertised on the website, then it is a great keyboard. But I am taking stars off due to the lack of updating the product page when it is a drastically different keyboard than advertised.

10/5/17 update: Im returning this. Today, the caps lock started getting triggered randomly despite my active avoidance of the caps lock key. And when it happens, the caps lock LED doesnt even turn on. As I use vim every day, this is very annoying and a hindrance to productivity. I regret cheaping out and will be purchasing a keyboard made by a reputable manufacturer. I bought this on a last-minute whim. Ive been eyeing the Razer BlackWidowTournament Edition for some time, after purchasing the Razer Mecha-Membrane keyboard not too long ago. I like the Mecha-Membrane, but it is a little too large to carry around on an everyday basis, plus I dont need a number pad for everyday usage. Pros: + The price point is good. For $50, you get a really nice-looking keyboard. Ive looked for other RGB compact mechanical keyboards but the ones I saw were either flooded with fake reviews or were poorly reviewed, which didnt inspire a lot of confidence. + The lighting effects are almost as nice as the Razer I have, but with the advantage of being able to change the effect without installing additional crapware. No offense to Razer or its fans, but I hate that you cant even (to my knowledge) cycle through the lighting effects without installing Synapse. For more complex and custom effects, I totally understand why Synapse would be required. + A keycap puller and brush are included. Cons - The keycaps are terrible! The ones on the end especially will fall off if you even look at them funny. Whenever I put this into my bag, I almost always have to scoop up the keys that got knocked out of place and put them back where they belong. The keycap puller is basically unnecessary because the keys are so loose. If theres any potential dealbreaker with this item, it would be the keys (more on that below). - The instructions are all in Chinese. I didnt have much trouble figuring out how to cycle through the lighting effects, control audio on my work machine (a MacBook Air), or adjust the brightness on the keyboard. But it still would have been nice to have instructions with more English than just the name of the product. - Very little pressure is required to actuate each key. Admittedly, this could be either a pro or a con, depending on what youre looking for. But so far for me its been a significant con. Overall, based on my initial impressions, Id give this 2.5 stars, but I rounded up. Between the softness/squishiness of the keys and the loose keycaps, Im on the fence about whether to return this. I will give it a chance because there are quite a few things I like about it and Ive not even had it a full day. I may try getting some different keycaps, but from reading the answers to questions about replacing them, it seems that would only be a partial fix because not all of them are standard-sized. The worst offenders (the esc and delete keys) are not standard-sized and therefore would not be possible to replace (see: https://www.amazon.com/forum/-/Tx38PWXL2JXJRXF/ref=ask_ql_ql_al_hza?asin=B01JG37496).

I set this up for my kids Christmas Eve so that it would be glowing in multicolor when they wondered down stairs. The lights were off and all you could see is the glowing hue of colors from the game desk. They screamed when they saw it....really Bad A--. They they used to use game controller to play, but now they use Keyboard and mouse for PS4 gaming. No complaints from them and you should see how their fingers just fire away at it.

For the price, it does the job. Built pretty well and feels decent for typing.

The overall presentation and value of the package are outstanding. I own keyboards ranging from the K95 MX Speed to random generic keyboards Ive had for years. Im quite happy I discovered this brand and these keyboards have exceptional build quality. I really enjoy these for both gaming and typing, which I didnt expect I would as much for the cost. This is the best value option Ive encountered in years and great as a primary or spare keyboard. You have everything you need with this package and theres more included than most other brands would offer. The cable is also detachable and the build is very solid, with little to no keyboard flex existing. Im very happy with this purchase and will remember this brand for future purchases.

Im writing this review on this very keyboard. Im very pleased with the product overall. The build quality is solid, and the switches feel high quality. The Zorro Black Switches are a little heavier than the Cherry MX Reds, and they feel a little more springy, but they feel amazing for gaming. The keyboard comes with a very respectable amount of preset lighting modes, with the option of downloading separate drivers and software to customize the RGB lights even further to your liking. Ive done quite a bit of gaming already on this keyboard and it feels superb. What makes it even better is the price tag. Im liking it so much I might buy a second unit with Blue Switches just for typing. In the box youll get another nicer box, in which the keyboard is contained with softfoam to protect while shipping, a plastic ring keycap puller, a softbrush to keep your keyboard clean from dust, and instructions. Before making this purchase I made a lot of research, and out of all my options the AK33 won because of its aesthetics, detachable cable, inclusion of function keys and media functionality, floating key design and its aluminium plating. I absolutely recommend this keyboard. Its small form factor makes any desk a lot less cluttered, and allows gamers more space for using their mouse. If theres anything I really didnt like about it was the glossy plastic used at the bottom, but that is not normally visible so its not a dealbreaker.

The Stabilizer for the space bar is bad, however I am new to gaming and this keyboard is perfect for the price. The color is also vibrant and the keyboard sounds are loud but not obnoxious

So the instructions are in Chinese, and being that I cannot read Chinese, I went ahead and used google translate and will now share with you fine people. Thank you for choosing our AJAZZ AK33 RGB mechanical keyboard, this product not only have the function of commonly used lights, but also added AJAZZ Black Jazz first interactive lighting effects, I hope it can bring you a new operating experience .

My son likes the different lighting options on the keyboard but only giving 4 stars because the directions do NOT come in English. Other than not having directions for the keyboard settings or options, he has no complaints. He figured out how to change some options on his own. Dont know if theres more options than those hes found because it didnt come w/ directions we can read. Also, the keys are loud.
