> 24 hourI use this keyboard for both work and gaming. The feet on the keyboard allow it to be slanted upwards which is very good for someone who works at a desk for long hours. Very good at helping with wrist comfort. The RGB lights are pretty great while also not messing with the retro aesthetic of the keyboard itself. Lastly, the keys are very responsive and of course sound great while typing.

> 24 hourI have some favorite keyboard makers. Im not big into building from scratch so, like most consumers, am at the mercy of what manufacturers want to manufacture. My shortlist of favorite keyboards is probably familiar, Royal Kludge, Razor, and Durgod sit at the top. All popular brands. And then there is this lurker...AJAZZ. My first AJAZZ keyboard was the 82-key AJAZZ GEEK. Although I love my 60% keyboards for customization, small size, and gaming they lack the quick key access for programming and daily work. I upped my game to the GEEK with blue switches and found a sense of happiness. I would have left well enough alone if not for the 1.5u sized Right shift... Enter the AK510. I dig older computers and have always wanted to go for something with that retro feel. Not wanting to shell out $100+ for Durgods latest release and get another 60% I went for this instead. Its a grown-ups keyboard. Has all keys. Has all the lights too! You can customize this keyboard so that each and every key has its own color...and then save it! The built-in light functions are the typical ones so your favorite (breath is mine) is there. I got the browns for this one and I dont regret it. I love tactile and I love clicky, but the Browns are what I need for hours of typing and working. The feel is there to satisfy but not loud enough to annoy. Stabs are OK, have not put the miles on to really know. They are not lubbed like Durgod but not cheap feeling either. Well... thats it. Ive got a spread sheet to zoom around! YAY!

> 24 hourI have been using this keyboard for over three months now. I mainly bought this as a replacement to my old keyboard (and maybe for the retro IBM model M styling). As Ive used it, I have learned that the SA keycaps are very comfortable for typing. However, there is a small amount of adapting to playing video games with the height of the keyboard (although, it is not too hard). The sound the AK510 makes is great with the combination of blue switches and PBT keycaps. The AK510 works flawlessly since I have bought it, and I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a durable mechanical keyboard that has that IBM Model M styling.

> 24 hourThis keyboard is perfect for work and gaming. My hand was hurting from my old keyboard being so stiff but these keys are a big night and day to my previous board. Definitely recommend it!

> 24 hourI was super excited to see this product, its everything I wanted between a retro keyboard, and full RGB backlight (didnt know thats what I wanted until I found this!) You can tell that its definitely not the best quality product, there is a springy sort of echo when typing in silence, but other than that it feels great, Im very happy with the key design! If there is one thing that I would actually complain about, is that while the function keys can be used for volume control, they dont have the symbols on them like advertised in some photos, so you just gotta figure out which key does what. I also think the software and instruction manual could be made more thorough, as opposed to the tiny piece of paper you get and the control software you download from a sketchy site. All those things aside, Im very happy with this keyboard, the RGB looks great, and it even comes with a red key replacement for Esc, Enter, and SpaceBar, which gives you a very small option for customizing out of the box which is nice. But by far the thing Im happiest about is that it totally works on Linux! Yes, even the function keys! It is advertised as only working for Windows, and while its true the software is only available on Windows, any RGB settings you make on it will be saved to the keyboards memory, and be the same if you plug it in on a Linux machine! Now depending on what flavor of Linux you use, you may have more problems with drivers and such, but for me it has not presented a problem at all. Do be careful though, Im not guaranteeing that it will work for other people on Linux, just saying it worked for the two Linux machines I truied it on. In short, Id give this a 5 star if the function keys were fully described on the keyboard, and if the RCB control software was a bit more polished. Right now you could be downloading any sort of malware and not be aware of it.

> 24 hourIm in LOVE with this keyboard! This is my first time owning a mechanical keyboard and I really love the retro look. After watching a few video reviews on it, I caved and bought it. I dont regret it in the slightest. It feels great, sturdy, and actually kinda heavy. Does NOT feel like a cheap keyboard! Im not much of a PC gamer, but I gave DUSK a try with this keyboard and it works well. Though gave it a 4 star since it can be loud and annoy others, but it blue switches so what do you expect? Didnt bother me but I was also wearing headphones. I wasnt sure what switches I should get as my first mechanical keyboard. But I wanted a heavy clicky one, kinda old school. This fit the bill! Lights up nice but I highly recommend downloading the software...which weirdly doesnt come with. Though it does come with a key puller and extra keycaps which are cool but I dont care for em since I already love the look of this keyboard. The lighting is really bright but I mainly keep it off because Im not much a RGB light guy. But if you are, then youre in for a treat. Multiple ways to set up lighting with the software. Overall its a good keyboard. Does the job, just hope it doesnt annoy your loves ones like it annoys my wife haha.

> 24 hourIf you spend most of your day typing, you might as well have a keyboard you like. I got this one for work and it’s great, no on-board software that will throw your IT/Cyber departments into a tizzy, you can shut off all the lights, and no more ghost strikes with the garbage keyboard they supply.

> 24 hourLooks great out of the box and also comes with a few alternate red/orange keys that you can pop in. Lots of customization available for the lights. I bought a red switch keyboard from ajazz over a year ago which was also nice buy I prefer the brown switches they have in this one. Very good for people that are a bit sloppy with their typing and have longer/larger fingers. The red switches led to more typos due to those reasons. I was expecting it to be much louder but dont think its any louder than the red switch keyboard I use of theirs.
