FIRSTBLOOD ONLY GAME. AK510 Retro Mechanical Gaming Keyboard - PBT SP Spherical Keycaps - Classic Grey-White Matching - RGB Backlight - Black Switches

Absolutely in LOVE with this keyboard. I am not a gamer ... just a worker ... but this is a dream. It is very well made and feels every bit the retro keyboard. I got the blue switches and love the sound. I am not a huge fan of the lighting and had planned to turn it off but there are TONS of lighting options and I ended up choosing to have the key light up blue only when hit. AND... but wait .. theres MORE! I was not expecting the extra orange keys so it was a TREAT! I LOVED the geek humor on the space bar. The first thing I did was to replace the tan/ivory with the orange!! Very SOLID keyboard, every bit retro with a slight modern edge, and a good price for what it is. Excellent buy!

When I think of a 5 star keyboard the bar is already at a high level set by RedDragon, for $40-$50 you get a solid keyboard with perfect size and heavy weight, great keys and Cherry mx blue caps for that clickity clack satisfaction. That being said this keyboard is no slouch either but for the price $80 + taxes and fees etc.... I find it difficult to understand why you cant afford to throw in some MX Cherry Blues or at least offer another keyboard at a higher cost for this. The imitation blues arent bad, but comparing them side by side - its just isnt the same, not even close. They do offer a bit of a clickity clack but if youve been typing on Cherrys for a moderate amount of time you will know exactly what I mean. Other than that I am really happy with this keyboard, its retro just the way I remember my first PC being back in 1995 watching the movie hackers and pausing the scene were Angelina Jolie show tiddies. The LED lights are awesome, giving it a modern twist and allowing me to see shit in the dark because we are nerds and the lights above burn our eyes. Its definitely a solid keyboard and built well but I cant help but think of all the ways it could be better. Like the keycaps are really just a disappointment because that right there would make this a 5 star keyboard. What would really put it over the top is having a pewter base/center with a painted steel/aluminum or metal frame. Something to think about guys. If you are looking for a retro keyboard this one will satisfy, it is still really good.

Mind that the keys are smaller than a traditional keyboard, so I (and my friends who tried it) get around 1 in every 5 words wrong. The base of the key is the normal size, but it gets smaller at the end. I would return it, but my wife loved it and she asked to keep it, so this rating is out average note.

This keyboard is amazing looks and feels like my old school keyboard i had back when i was playing ultima and ultima online. Feels great looks amazing and is a solid keyboard i would recommend Firstblood keyboards to anyone

If 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.

I mean come on, if youre looking at this theres a reason youre not going with corsair or Logitech, but youre still hoping this is a decent mechanical keyboard right? Well it is, functionally it works well, this is my first blue switch board, but it feels nice. I havent personally tried the software but keyboard commands for switching the rgb works well, decent amount of options, but again if youre buying this board for rainbow effects, well I guess you can do what you want, I just set it to solid green, looks good with the retro style. It feels good, pretty decent build quality. Honestly no major issues I can see after a month of using it. It looks great, would be an awesome addition to a sleeper build or just for something different than your typical gamer aesthetic.

I have to admit I was worried to buy this keyboard, since I had bought some previously by other vendors and was disappointed. First the quality is excellent. It is well crafted, sturdy, firm and heavy (this is optimal for better control of keyboard) Second the retro vibe is amazing! Love it! I worked in the airline industry many years and us agents would fight to use the metal loud mechanical keyboards. This reminds me of those keyboards! I got the blue switches, somebody responded to my request/question and said the blue switches where (loud,noisy) if that was what i was looking for. Sure enough it is loud! Love it! Love typing on this keyboard :-) Im not a gamer so I am not using it for games. It comes with a nice light color lights in the keyboard. It has the option to turn them off and on. I can see why a gamer would enjoy these keyboards. I love them for work! I got three! one for home, one at work and got one for a coworker!

I was looking for a 90s aesthetic keyboard to bring together a vaporwave theme in my room. This thing is great! Its a good mechanical keyboard that looks retro until you turn it on. Love this thing

So, this thing is pretty nice. But STUPID thick. I have to keep my wrists elevated the entire time Im typing which not only lowers my WPM, but also is an non-optimal position and will cause repetitive stress injuries. Its just plain uncomfortable. Going to have to get a wrist elevator to go with it. The software is super hard to find, but works well. Not many options, which is fine. I dont really care about RGB. I just wanted to setup macros. Overall this thing is about a 7/10. Ive used way better. But Ive also used way worse. $80 is expensive for what you get.

I can say for certain that this keyboard was made for me. It has every feature I could think of, without the hefty price-tag that professional gaming mechanical keyboards come with. Im not a professional gamer, rather Im a casual gamer with my time becoming limited with my career taking off. To come home to this and use it is a dream for my fingers and mind. Thank you for providing such an amazing product. A+ P.S. Full disclosure, buying a keyboard without knowing the different types of key switches is like buying a pair of headphones without listening to them first. With that said, This still landed very well with me and my use, spanning from emails, browsing the web, gaming in first-person shooters and just about anything sans professional gaming, so I cannot speak on that. So a neutral point would be the action when pressing the keys, I was thinking that brown switches would have a bit more resistance on the attack of the key, and I was incorrect. I would go with something like one step stiffer to be 100%. Thats just me and this is my $.02! :bows:
