> 3 dayThis compact keyboard is amazing. The light show is soothing and really cool to watch when you arent using the computer. The keys respond beautifully to just the right amount of pressure. The only thing to keep in mind is that this keyboard is really loud. I wouldnt consider using this in a cubicle or if your spouse is planning sleeping while you work. Other than that, its perfect if you want a keyboard with very little desk real estate taken. Just remember there is no numeric pad to the side, so its not for everyone.

> 3 dayI used this keyboard for gaming. Its great especially at the price I bought it at. The black switches are pretty much silent, but very heavy to push down. So just assure you are buying this for a heavy handed gamer or maybe a new person to keyboard and mice.

> 3 dayNice little keyboard, especially considering the price. I like the switches more than I thought I would - theyre a little on the heavier side and the actuation point is pretty shallow, so you can sort of bounce your fingers off the keys, which is nice for typing. Havent tried playing any games. Couple of downsides - mine came without a USB-C/A cable, and the plastic housing is pretty tight around the port, so it took some looking to find a cable that would fit. The layout is fantastically compact, but its apparently also non-standard, so finding replacement keycaps will probably be a chore if I ever decide to do that.

> 3 dayStandard keyboard is too big for my needs (artist) so I looked into TKL ones; this price is definitely on the lower end of this type but works just as expected. First mechanical keyboard so I had to get used to the feel of it, but now that I have I love it and super recommend at least trying it out. The business followed up on their product directly as well, which to me shows they care about the quality of their product and customer satisfaction, which is always a huge plus :D

> 3 dayThe Ajazz AK33 is a 75% form factor mechanical keyboard with addressable RGB Zorro Black key switches, plastic case and aluminum top plate. For having a plastic housing there is very little flex which i attribute to the fairly thick aluminum top plate. This case is a low rise case so switches and lighting are visible from the side. Despite being a very light construction large rubber pads make this keeb very hard to slide on your desk surface. However due to being a lightweight construction where the only mass is in the top plate, this keyboard does sing quite a bit. Keystrokes will ring through the toplate. I o-ringed my alpha keys and that helped mildly. The key switches are Zorro Blacks but do not think these are Cherry Black clones. They remind me of Gateron optical yellows, slightly lighter in actuation weight than a Cherry Red, but also a higher actuation. If you are used to heavier or tactile switch this will result in accidental key presses initially. These switches are not the smoothest but are comparable to stock gaterons or outemu switches in smoothness. The lightness of the switches make this board a delight for gaming but not so much for long typing sessions. The big pitfall of this keyboard in my opinion are the keycaps. They appear to ABS and are VERY thin, they are slippery, and the legend is subpar at best. A new set of key caps would really make this board delightful to type on however the esc and delete key are 1.5u, and the end key is 1.25u rather than standard 1u which makes shopping for a set very unenjoyable. The non standard layout takes minimal time to adjust to in typing. Lastly the part this board does right, lighting. Colors are vibrant, distinct, but not harsh or distracting even when shoved up under my monitor on my small work space. The patterns are fun and you can individually address each key, however the software to do so is VERY clunky and poorly optimized. For the price and the feature set I do really like this keyboard and would recommend it to someone if they are in the market for a compact layout keyboard with RGB and are not looking for hotswap switches.

Greater than one weekI dont game with this keyboard, but it is similar to the keyboard I use on my gaming computer. I use this keyboard for writing. I write books as well as short stories online. I have arthritis in my hands and find mechanical keyboards more comfortable to use. I am very satisfied with the feel of the keyboard. It is a great price, has a small footprint, and if you dont need the keypad I highly recommend it.

> 3 dayAjazz has brought it with this keyboard, a full RGB keyboard that rocks solid switches that rival cherrys. This board isnt the best when it comes to keycap quality, but what is lacks in that department it makes up for in overall build quaility. This thing is a beauty. Minus that glossy backing which I will be sanding down very shortly and adding a fresh coat of mate paint Overall its worth the buy for anyone who wants a compact and pretty keyboard that is also is a great template for keyboard moders who wants to customize the board to their own liking

> 3 dayThe RGB version of this keyboard is first and foremost beautiful. Its the best looking keyboard there is, except for the cheap glossy plastic bottom casing that is. Why do I say this keyboard is just okay? Well the typing experience is unfortunately very mushy, with key activation long before you fully depress the key and uneven resistance for different keys. I would have preferred greatly this keyboard with a switch that gave some physical and audible response when the key registered a press like my comparable Zhuque mechanical keyboard that is in the same price and size class as the AK33 and has much better build quality. But the truth is, I dont want to use the Zhuque over the Ajazz, the problem is I feel I have too because its simply a better keyboard, though unfortunately its not nearly as fun or attractive. The AK33 has the most beautiful LED implementation of any keyboard Ive ever seen. This kind of RGB spectrum is not something you get at this price range and is certainly not what I get with the Zhuque. Comparable keyboards have fixed LED lighting schemes per key or row of keys while the AK33 is a beautiful lighting display of animated colors. What would make this the ultimate keyboard for me? First the switches. Zorro switches are mushy and unresponsive, whereas the blue switches in my Zhuque are clicky and springy. Second the quality of the keycaps and the casing. Ditch the cheap plastic in favor of brushed aluminum and more textured, heavier keys. When my board arrived, I found loose keys in the box and that is because these are very loosely fitted to the switches and can be pulled off with ease, could be improved. Last the right shift button is awkwardly small, leaving you prone to miss pressing when typing. If these issues were fixed Id give it a 5 out of 5. As it stands Im going to use my Zhuque and mod the AK33 into light display art for my desk. **EDIT** After some time Ive switched from the Zhuque to using the Ajazz. As you can see in the photos, Ive gone through the modding process, spending 20 hours meticulously sanding the top layer of paint off of each key on the keyboard allowing the light to come through the tops. Its beautiful and its more than just a keyboard, it is a centerpiece, its an art display. Yes this does make typing harder, because I assume like most I have memorized typing through muscle memory but would struggle to point at each key and tell you the key its for. What makes this keyboard hardest to type on is the tiny right hand shift key and I find myself pressing all the wrong keys trying to use it for symbols such as (:?}{><) That is not to say I cannot type on it, I consistently got over 100 wpm on type racer today and a high of 128 wpm. I think if you want a cool keyboard that isnt the most practical keyboard, buy the Ajazz and mod it to make the most of its RGB lighting because it is hands down the best you can find anywhere.

> 3 dayIve been using this every day for two years. My keyboard gets a LOT of use, both typing and gaming. I havent run into a single problem with this keyboard, the keys feel as fresh as they did when I first bought it. The RGB effects are very good with all sorts of different effects, if thats your thing. The compact design is great and saves space on your desk without feeling cramped in the actual keyboard. Seriously, at $50 I find it hard to be able to do much better at this price.
