> 3 dayIn the box was… 1. One, mechanical keyboard 2. One, set of instructions 3. One, charging cable (USB C to USB A) with usb dongle and holder for the 2.4GHz connection option The packaging is like way nice. The keyboard has a good heft to it. I like the fact it has so many connection options. You can use the dongle over 2.4GHz, Bluetooth, or wired. The keys are comfortable in design. It also has a great No-Conflict design in which you push the FN + Win key and the Win key will be locked out from use so you are not disrupted during gaming. It offers a convenient volume slider on the side. It is very slim as well making this easy to pack. It utilizes red switches which sport a 50 million keystroke lifespan and the keys are solid, they do not feel loose or move when being pressed. It also has RBG light modes with a ton of options! Plus, it is all controlled via the keyboard, so no software needed or extra switches etc. The battery life claims 26hr with lights on in Bluetooth mode and 18 days with lights off. Using 2.4GHz you should see 30hr with lights on and 36 days with lights off. I have not tested this yet but regardless if you carry around a power brick or plug for the wall you will be good to go for much longer. I like this keyboard. It looks awesome, has great options and features, and most importantly is small enough for me to bring with when traveling. I plan on using this with my Samsung tablet and Steam Deck.

> 3 dayThis is a good, solid keyboard. It has a great sound and feel to it, which is very impressive. I like the little volume control sliders, which was a neat little surprise. It connects easily and the battery seems to last a decent amount of time, even though its running lights. I like the cable it comes with, too--it is just as solid as the keyboard instead of feeling flimsy and weak. Overall, a good find!

> 3 dayClickity clackity sounds that are satisfying. Responsive keys, multiple ways to connect to devices, quick switches to move from one OS to another, RGB, small but functional and comfortable form factor... what more can you ask for? Such a wonderful compact keyboard. Though I do prefer my keyboards to have the number pad included off to the right, I gave this a chance and its impressive. What I really like is that you can pack this up and take it anywhere if you are someone thats on the road a lot and want more flexibility for typing rather than having a hot box on your lap. Great keyboard overall.

> 3 dayThis keyboard is so near to being perfect for productivity. I have all the dedicated keys I need to be able to work optimally. I also have access to all the standard Fn Keys on the number row and plenty of other secondary functions throughout the keyboard. You can connect wirelessly via 2.4Ghz with included USB dongle, Wirelessly via BT, or wired via USB-C. You can select between Windows or Mac configurations via a switch on the right side. This is also where you will find the mode switch for Wired/Wireless. Bluetooth allows connection to up to 3 selectable devices and setup is a breeze. The left side of the keyboard has a slider that controls your volume seamlessly. It really works well and is a fantastic place to put it as it is out of the way, yet easily accessible when I need it. I personally like the look of this keyboard with the Orange and Dark Gray color scheme and the RGB mode is pretty full-featured. There are plenty of Color options to choose from so Im sure youll be able to find one you like. The footprint is small, the features are large and the switches are smooth. The Keycaps are rather low profile and are comfortable coming from laptops and other low-profile keyboards. I would recommend this keyboard for anyone who is looking for something rather slim to travel with or for a good option for a full-featured mechanical board for a great price!

> 3 dayThis thing is bomb! I have a few mechanical keyboards. A few I built, a few i modified, and a few are stock. This one included (for now). But out da box its beautifully made! Better than expected for sure. There is virtually no rattle which I like. Super solid frame. The slider on the side I thought was gimmicky as first but It is now my favorite feature of the board! It looks nice and glides buttery smooth with a nice resistance to it. The RGB is intense, Im not sure if you can turn off a certain part from the board or not yet, but I havent cared or needed to at least yet. The keycaps are nice and thocky for how low profile they are. I think this is achieved through a combination of a solid frame, backboard, good linear gateron reds, nice stock stabilizers, and excellent flipper rubber adjustable feet. The battery life has been more than Ive ever found myself needing. Once in a while I go to starbucks or the library to get out of the house and work so battery is never an issue even with rgb on all day wirelessly connected. At home I run a custom coiled cable but otherwise its stock. I think the price point is so right for this board. It can be customized quite a bit with the on board controls with are actually pretty clear and easy to learn and understand versus some of the boards on board menus yeeeuuughhhhh iykwim,ykwim. Lets wrap this up- Basically, this to me is a cooler and WAY better version of the Logitech G915 with similar build quality but definitely better sound and better switches.

> 3 dayThe only thing I dislike about the keyboard is the volume rocker. It is really sensitive and have to change very softly to adjust volume. Everything else is fantastic. I can go from my Mac to Ipad in seconds. Beautiful sound when you type, and Slim design perfect to take on the go.

> 3 dayEksa EK3000 keyboard review Beautiful, compact, solid, & connectivity galore! Nicely boxed with user manual, in English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, and Chinese. Comes with a nice quality braided USB type-C to type-A cable, with an attached storage holder (see picture) for the nano receiver, as well as a Velcro cable tie. Unfortunately, the nano-receiver storage holder does not hold the receiver very tightly. Mine kept falling out, so I used a short piece of black electrical tape so as not to lose the receiver when not in use. Bottom of keyboard is black plastic, with rubber (very non-skid) feet, height elevator feet (see picture), and has a thick aluminum deck under the keys, and a translucent LED-lit front band under the deck with separate settings for LED lighting colors/patterns. Keys are a beautiful black, grey, and orange color scheme. There are numerous backlight settings. Some are color cycling, some have blink patterns of backlighting, and others are solid, always on colors. All are controlled with function key plus arrow keys, insert, delete, PgUp and PgDn keys. The sellers description page includes a video of the numerous backlight options. You should watch it!! (In my opinion, the backlight control instructions in the user manual are easy enough to follow.) On the right edge, there are 2 switches. One lets you switch between Mac and Windows (Win) compatibility, and the second switch lets you change between USB (corded) and wireless modes. On the left edge, there is a volume slider allowing easy volume control, which worked flawlessly in Windows 11, MacOS Monterey, and Raspberry Pi OS. Noise: This is a clicky sounding keyboard, so if you really *need* silent operation, you will not like it. It is OK for me because I dont have any reason to be stealthy. Amazing connectivity- 3 ways to connect: Keyboard comes with a USB type-C to USB type-A cable, with a clever rubber attached holder for the nano-receiver for 2.4 GHZ wireless connection. Can be connected with USB cable, 2.4 GHZ nano-receiver, or bluetooth. Can connect up to 3 different bluetooth devices, and easily switch between devices with function key + q, w, or e for bluetooth, and function + r for nano-receiver. The q, w, e, and r keys are faintly labeled BT1, BT2, BT3, and 2.4G respectively. This is convenient in case you forget which keys are for wireless control. Compatibility Mac: I connected to my MacBook Pro using the USB cable (wired mode) and the side switch set to Mac, and other side switch set to the USB symbol. I was able to not only type, but even do the PRAM reset key sequence as the MacBook started. The keyboard has the Alt key also labeled (faintly) Command, the Win key labeled as Option, and the Ctrl key labeled as Control (just as on a Mac keyboard). The volume slider works perfectly with the Mac. Next I disconnected the USB cable, switched the side switch to the wireless symbol, and went into the Macs bluetooth settings, and held down the Function key simultaneously with the q key and the MacBook saw it as EKSA EK3000 and I was able to easily connect with bluetooth. Next I plugged the nano-receiver in, disconnected bluetooth, and used the Function + r key combination, and immediately could use the keyboard that way. Compatibility Windows: Windows 11 laptop (ToughBook 55) worked just as well (set edge switch to Win), using the USB cable, the nano-receiver, and bluetooth (connected with Function + w key combination). Compatibility Raspberry Pi 4B: Corded keyboard worked as expected when I started the Pi. With wireless/USB switch set to USB, I tried the Mac setting and the Win setting. Win is the one that worked. Nano receiver did not work until I rebooted, but after reboot (and function + r) worked just fine. Bluetooth (function + e key) did not work until a reboot. Then I had to try 3 times, but it did finally work (Raspberry Pi can be a little finicky with bluetooth). Volume slider worked with all three modes. One thing that you have to remember is that because there are so many connectivity, and OS options available, you need to use the function key combinations, along with the side switches to switch between OSs and computers. Dont get frustrated by needing to use those switches!! This makes this keyboard so extremely versatile!! I have to say that I really love this keyboard!!

> 3 dayKeyboard preferences are very personal. Theres key travel, key resistance, key spacing, keyboard angle, key size and so many more factors that can keep one person happy and another ready to move on. Telling you this keyboard is just for you is like telling you the temperature of my shower water is ideally suited for you too. Youre going to have to decide. Ive used the same gaming keyboard(s) as my everyday keyboard for about 20 years. Its a classic Deck (The red one in the attached photos ). Im not a gamer; I just like the size and feel of a good gaming keyboard for everyday use. The Deck is my standard. I evaluated another gaming keyboard about a month ago and came to like it very much. I like its angle, and key travel and that-difficult-to-describe feel. Its the green/black one in my photos. The only thing I didnt like was its slightly reduced key spacing. This Eksa keyboard (the orange/black one in my photos), like the other two, is very solidly built. Theres nothing flimsy about it. Its got good heft. It stays still on my desk. Its key spacing and key size are full size, like the Decks. I like that. The keys have a positive click associated with contact. The one thing Im not sure if I like yet is the very short key travel. My Decks got Cherry reds and their travel is deeper. I can understand a serious gamer wanting minimal travel. For me it will take some getting used to (not to say I wouldnt). Features on the keyboard include all sorts of lighting effects, a very well placed volume control, and provisions for USB connectivity, or wireless/Bluetooth. For the detached options it has a rechargeable battery onboard. This is all good design. I like the versatility. I agree with the product description that this keyboard is so low profile that no wrist rest is needed. Its quite comfortable to use. Also, there are two angle settings (up, and down). Two of my photos show these two settings, and in contrast with the other two keyboards I like. Bottom line: its well built, and it has some very useful features. Will it suit you? I dont know. Youll have to try it yourself. I do recommend you try if you like the feel and utility of a well designed gamer keyboard.
