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

Cheap, types well with the brown switches, looks cool. One major downside, though, is that the beige keys make the letters hard to see with the backlight on while working in normal lighting conditions. Ive just turned the backlight off entirely unless Im actually working in the dark. I think itd have helped a bit if theyd used a darker shade of beige, or maybe outlined the letters with a thin dark border or something.

Pros: The Cherry MX Brown imitation keys offering a great tactile response while being somewhat quiet. While theyre still noisy (and thats to be expected), theyre responsive without those loud clicks you get with MX Blue keyboards. I actually didnt know about the LEDs when I bought the keyboard. On my model they were not programmable, but you have a couple of different options to cycle through which provide decent backlighting and visual responses. The retro model looks great with the typical off-white and grey key pattern indicative of Model F/M IBM keyboards of the 70s-80s. Neutrals: So, those rounded keys: I cant say that these seemed to make a difference in my typing experience. They certainly arent bad or weird, or anything, just kind of there. Cons: No real cons. The retro-style feels like a steep jump from the all-black bargain bin looking keyboard, which given that it has no unique features or switches feels a little weird. The other thing is that you might end up struggling to find replacement keys, others have mentioned thats an issue. These rounded keys are unique to the keyboard, so keep that in mind if youre oaf that smashes keyboards or something, or if youre into custom key caps. Youre basically only going to get those caps from them. Its comfortable, relatively cheap, and the retro one looks great. Caps are probably not easily replaceable.

I see other people say its too loud, and too heavy. Yes the keyboard is loud did you not read about what you were buying. That is what you get from most mechanical keys. Its a selling point for me. I want the clicking, it reminds me of the keyboards I used in the late 80s and early 90s So if you are looking for a modern keyboard that looks like and sounds like an old 8088 keyboard this is pretty close. It isnt as heavy as those old 8088 keyboards were like 7 lbs or more. But this one goes click click click very nicely and has a good selection of back lighting. I use mine to clack out code and it is very satisfying. The board also includes redish orange key caps for your space, enter, and esc keys. In short I love the look, I love the feel, and I love the weight. Its not a light piece of junk. I purchased this as a replacement for my very old Logitec G15. If I could say one improvement Id like to see is a wireless version with a good size battery that lasts for days of constant use. I dont mind the extra weight, and I would like to not have to worry about cable management as I type with the keyboard on my lap.

Im satisfied with this purchase overall. It was my first time purchasing a keyboard and thought it was a bit pricey but it was worth it. I got the white/blue one, it looks cute and like the lighting options. Just one small thing is, wish it was a bit quieter...BUT I know some people like this type of sound/feel!

I love my new keyboard so much. I play video games everyday, and with this new keyboard, it has everything I want and need. I love how it sounds, feels, and looks. It is quite cheap for a gaming keyboard, but the quality is phenomenal.

I love this keyboard. The keys are really nice. It reminds me a lot of the mechanical keyboard I grew up using in the 80s, but maybe even a bit nicer than that one. The only improvement would be to have a removable usb cable. But other than that, this keyboard is perfect.

I love this keyboard. The build quality is unlike any modern keyboard I have interacted with. its just an absolute brick sh*thouse! It comes with a good-quality key-puller, and neat little red/orange special keycaps. The brown switches that Ajazz made are really satisfying. The stabilizers on bigger keys are a bit loud and could use lubing, but that doesnt bother me. I also cant overstate how much i love the tall spherical keycaps. The RGB customization is also relatively robust if youre into that sort of thing! My only critique would be for Ajazz to re-design or even remove the designs on either side of the keyboard. I just feel like they arent needed (you can disable the rgb that shines through them, which is awesome). Great for gaming, great for typing. As a guy who spends most of his time at a desk, I would wholeheartedly recommend it!

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.

The minus key (-) on the keypad quit working after just a few months of very light use - maybe 100 keypresses total on that partiuclar key. The return window through Amazon is only a month. Spend your 75 dollars on some other generic keyboard. Update: They reached out to me and replaced the Keyboard, I’ve updated my rating accordingly.

I bought one of these with blue switches and liked it so much that I bought another one (with brown switched) within a week for work. Definitely worth it. Have had both of them for about 6 months now and have no complaints about either.
