> 3 dayThis little keyboard is AMAZING! I purchased this to replace an 8+ year old Logitech G15 gaming keyboard. The G15 was big, bulky, and took up way too much desk space. Using my Wacom tablet over the years and having to move that bulky G15 was a pain. The Ajazz AK33 RGB is incredibly compact. I believe it is a 75% layout, because its a bit smaller than a tenkeyless which are 80%. I knew it would be small, but I am surprised at how little space this takes up. Its perfect. It is just the right size to still be comfortable typing on without feeling cramped. I got the blue switches version, and coming to actual mechanical switches from the membrane style switches on the G15 is just...wow. The difference is incredible. I absolutely love the clicky sound of the blue switches. I had heard blue switches were a bit loud, and while theyre definitely not silent, its not too loud for me at all. Ive tested it a bit with some games, and I must say, I prefer having both an audible click and the tactile feel to the switch being activating. My second choice would have been red switches, but after listening to a lot of sound demos for all the different switch types, I decided Im just the type that loves that click. Its so satisfying to type on. I also noticed how much more responsive movement in games is with this compared to the membrane keyboard. Its night and day difference. I honestly dont know how I used that old keyboard for so long. If you are currently using a membrane keyboard, get yourself a mechanical keyboard ASAP. If youre on the fence about the AK33 and deciding between this and maybe the Red Dragon or some of the other compact mechanical keyboards with similar specs, go with this one. Pros: 1. Size. Compact, frees up your desk space, portable. 2. Price. Very affordable compared to the big brands like Corsair with their $100+ offerings 3. Detachable cord, makes it portable and easy to put in a backpack or storage. 4. Incredible build quality. I dont understand how this is so cheap for the quality! 5. Software driver for changing color modes, setting profiles, and macros. 6. At 1.34 lb, its light and very easy to move around on your desk. Cons: I didnt buy it sooner. No English instruction papers included in the box

Greater than one weekThe keyboard AK33 is a very nice product! I think you have one of the best keyboard key layouts of most of the 82 key keyboards. I have searched for this specific layout for a while until I found yours. It is an excellent programmers keyboard. The RGB lighting is great too. I am enjoying the keyboard. Thank you! MikeG

> 3 dayProbably one of the best keyboards you’ll find for this price especially with all the things it offered. It had the nice blue switch sound and typing on it was very nice. One issue I had was that when I was trying to hold the R button, it wouldn’t let me hit the numbers 1-9 at the top of the keyboard. Still, a great keyboard for the price and if you need a cheap but still nice keyboard- here’s the keyboard for you.

20-11-2024Ive been gaming on this keyboard for three years. The size and layout were exactly what I was looking for. The default lighting can be cool, but being to edit the lighting through its software is much better. The issue is that the software is very hard to find and seems to stop being able to run after a few weeks. You either download it from a third-party or navigate the Chinese website. Worse yet, the A key has recently begun to give me problems, sometimes not registering input. This is a massive issue when gaming, and I seem not to be the only one with this issue. Possibly a manufacturing oversight. Ive changed my previous review from four to three stars because it served me well for these three years, but sadly these issues could not be ignored.

> 3 dayLove this keyboard!! I got it to replace another keyboard that was fairly new and there was nothing wrong with it, except that I dont like that my hands are so far apart and my keyboard is always kind of sitting to the left of me since I need to leave enough room to move my mouse. Part of the reason was the number pad taking up a lot of space and some macro keys on the side that I never use. Well, since I rarely use the number pad, I figured a smaller keyboard would fix the issue I have and it did! Not only is this keyboard good quality and has an amazing light show, it has very nice smooth and clicky keys. I got the black switches as I prefer a more quiet keyboard and dont do a ton of typing. Very happy with this keyboard.

> 3 dayI really like this keyboard but I think if this keyboard came in brown and red outemu switches it could easily become a best seller. The black switches are linear switches which are heavier than the outemu red switches. My fingers got used to them after a week, but for rapid edits in fortnite I can feel the higher actuation force. I also am not a big fan of the small shift key on the left side of the keyboard. I still enjoy this keyboard and hopefully they will continue to update the design.

> 3 dayGood quality! The escape key and right shift key are abnormal sizes but Im getting used to it. Really great compact keyboard which is what I was looking for. Super slick.

> 3 dayIt lasted almost 3 years. But it fell off the desk and jerked the cable. And the cable connection bent. And bent back, sort of. Cable, not the keyboard itself. But specialty cable given that its not micro or other standard cable. It doesnt type anymore, at least input to computer. Although bought 2020 (May), so it lasted an okay amount of time, relative to spills and other keyboard killers. 2023 (January) for DOA.

> 3 dayPros/Cons and TL:DR at the bottom. I got this for my boyfriend since he prefers keyboards where the F keys and number keys are close together or lined up, easier on his hands for long gaming sessions. Shiny lights, black switches he likes, seems like a nice price... Awesome, right? Until we plugged it in and tried to use the software suggested by the company in the Q&A right here on Amazon (Since nothing came with it except a two page poorly translated list of key commands to change the design of the lights). The program wouldnt recognize the keyboard, so we decided to try and restart to see if that would help. The PC got laggy, very slow startup only to not boot windows. Okay. Not panicking. turned it off, let it sit a bit, got it started up properly the second try. Still slow. Ran a virus scan, all clear. Checked the software again, still not recognizing the keyboard. **After a few hours of googling and searching, we came across a reddit post saying that some of these keyboards are NOT COMPATIBLE with the software. The way to tell which keyboards are compatible is to check under the spacebar (checking the color of the PCB) if it is BLACK, it is compatible. If it is orange or another color, it is NOT COMPATIBLE with the lighting software and uses a different firmware. We got a keyboard with a orange PCB. This is why you buy Razor or another name-brand option.. You get what you pay for, so to speak. Why are these keyboards being sold when they arent even compatible with the software to customize them?** I have nothing against foreign made products, but this software problem is garbage. This keyboard has the logo to the RIGHT on the space bar, NOT directly under the middle mark, so it could be a knockoff like other reviews were warning of, but I cant really confirm that as this is the only one weve purchased. The keyboard itself feels solid, the keys feel like proper black switch keys, I like the compact design. Its a good keyboard without the light problem. Pros: -The keys feel good to click, exactly what Black switches should feel like. -The weight of the keyboard is nice. Solid enough for consistent desktop use, also light enough with a compact size to travel with for infrequent traveling. -The design is nice for smaller hands/not getting fatigue during long sessions on games. -The keyboard appears brightly lit with the basic green color it came with. -It came with a brush to clean the keyboard with and a little keycap remover. Cons: -The software suggested for use to change the colors on the keyboard is not compatible with the keyboard sent to us.. Kind of defeats the purpose. -You can only filter through 8 basic colors and a handful of styles like breathing lights or flickering etc without the use of an external software downloaded, and it still may not be compatible. -No instructions other than a poorly translated 2 page booklet on how to cycle through the pre-loaded colors. TL:DR The keyboard is a solid keyboard for the price point if you dont want the custom lights. If you are fine with basic blue, red, green etc and dont plan on using the software to customize the lights, buy this and give it a shot. Good keys, sturdy feel, but the keyboard not being compatible with the lights software is a deal breaker for us and we will be returning it.

21-11-2024This is a really great keyboard. I use it mainly for my laptop, but also have used it on my desktop, now and then. Overall, I have no issues with the quality of the keyboard, but my other half likes the feel and look of it also. That means she wants it. So I guess I might be in the marketr purchase soon.
