> 3 daySo far I love this keyboard. Well have to see if it holds up. Its not just backlit, the back-lighting pulses in different colors. Thats a bonus. What I like is that the touch is perfect for me. I find Im making far fewer typos.

Greater than one weekThe Ajazz AK510 is simply a superb keyboard all around. Some things that stand out to me: DESIGN - The retro grayscale look of this keyboard is really easy on the eyes and brings me back to the days of DOS gaming in the early 90s. The keys themselves are very tall and feel good to press. Each key feels slightly wobbly in place, but for me that isnt an issue and doesnt get in the way of the satisfying tactile feel of typing, but worth noting in case thats a problem for other people. It also comes with an orange version of the ESC, ENTER & SPACE keys, along with a key removing tool. I personally like the full grayscale look, but the option to put in some orange keys is nice. HEFT - This keyboard is much heavier than I thought it would be, and I love it. It feels solidly built and wont slide around on your desk. As with most keyboard, it has 2 foldable flaps on the back you can use to angle the keyboard up more. SOUND - I originally got the model with the Blue switches, and it was very very loud and clicky. I actually really liked the way it sounded and was super satisfying to type on, but I was worried about it being so loud that it would bother my wife in the other room or even my neighbors. I eventually returned it and swapped it out for the quieter Brown switch model, which is a perfect compromise of still providing a tactile feedback without the extra click you get from the Blue switches. COLORS - I bought the keyboard mostly for the retro grayscale look, but I was pleasantly surprised how fantastic the RGB color options are. Maybe its something about the fact that its a grey keyboard and not dark black, but the colors are super bright and vibrant and really amazing looking. There are 10 or so different preset modes, and you can tweak the speed & brightness to fit your needs. There are also 5 completely customizable gaming slots you can use to customize the RGB layout for different games. You can also opt to not use any RGB colors at all, but in my opinion this keyboard really shines with color options enabled. FINAL THOUGHTS - I dont usually write product reviews, but Ive been so fired up about this thing in the week since I got it that I just had to share my thoughts on it. If you like the look of this keyboard, you cant go wrong with this thing. Just make sure to look into the difference between the Blue Switch (LOUD) and Brown Switch (quieter) version because they are significantly different. The RGB color modes are amazing looking and Im actually excited to type on this thing any chance I get. Maybe I need to become a writer...

> 3 dayI ordered this keyboard with brown switches to get a more clicky sound and I love it. It really suits my set up which is lots of neutral colors and white. There are no issues with the keys and it types perfectly. It feels sturdy and it looks beautiful. The lights are super customizable which I adore. The key caps are removable so you can put accent ones or completely new ones in, but I like mine the way it came. I 100% recommend this to anyone who is interested in buying it because it is SO worth it.

> 3 dayThis keyboard is so good that it made me want to do a review! I tend to over think keyboards, there so many options out there and Ive tried every switch there is. I was feeling like stepping away from the RGB game and going for something retro and ordered this just for a temporary theme and accidentally found my new favorite keyboard. The Ajazz AK510 is by far the best keyboard for typing out off all the regretful keyboards Ive bought. The keycaps feel amazing just to rest your fingers on. The retro look makes it stand out too so you dont look like you have a generic RGB keyboard like everyone else has. I went with brown switches and dont regret it. Blue switches are too clicky. These switches sounds so silent and sound so nice to hear that sometimes I just take off my headphones just to listen. The price is the lowest Ive spent on a keyboard too and it happens to be the best keyboard I got.... funny how life is like that way. More money doesnt always mean better. If youre thinking about getting yourself this keyboard, dont hesitate. I feel like its going to be hard coming across a keyboard of this quality down the road. Im a fan of Ajazz products now!

Greater than one weekOMG - this keyboard is off the charts crazy! It doesnt just LOOK like a keyboard out of the 70s, but it actually types like one! I was taken all the way back to my typing class in 1979. And ... if you use this thing at work, it cant escape the notice of other people. Great conversation piece ... and full up click-clack LOUD. Its a FULL STROKE to pound these keys. I have big hands and this keyboard is huge. I really feel like my hands are getting a workout while I pound away at it. One of the best purchases Ive ever made, and you dont have to install software to change the backlighting of the keyboard - though Ive been keeping the lighting off for now, just to groove more into the 70s vibe of this thing. I dont really see this thing as a gaming keyboard. This keyboard is ideally suited to programming and general administrative tasks. The sound may annoy people nearby, which is AWESOME. Though ... no one at work has complained about it ... in fact, quite the opposite! One guy thought I got it from GOODWILL. LOL!! Too awesome, I love this thing!!

> 3 dayAt this price, you get a LOT for your money. It comes with a full set of PBT keycaps and Zorro switches that are a decent Cherry MX clone. Not sure if they are lubed, but they feel smooth without any sandiness/graininess. Key consistency is also very acceptable. The board itself is solid - feels reasonably heavy and does not flex. The stabilizers, while maybe not on the level of custom-built, are far better than most branded gamer keyboards, such as Corsair. There is no spacebar rattle. Also, due to the uncommon keycap form factor, the sound of the keys is actually quite distinct. It sounds noticeably different from your standard Cherry MX keys. Oh, and theres even RGB, if youre into that. It does not fit at all with the theme of this keyboard, so I just leave it off. Overall I am very satisfied. I bought this to fit the theme of my most recent retro PC build, and ended up receiving a keyboard that almost gives my custom-builts a run for their money.
