> 24 hourI love this keyboard. There is just enough resistance to the keys, and the sounds it makes are very satisfying. Ive had it over a year now and it has held up very well. There is one weird thing about it to know, but its not a deal breaker: The keyboard comes with a USB-A cord, which is fine. But the other end of the cord that connects to the keyboard technically comes out and *looks* like a USB-C port. However, the keyboard does NOT have a real USB-C port on it, so dont try to use your own USB-C cable with it. Just use the cord that comes with it and youll be fine.

> 24 hourThe outemu red switches on this keyboard are suprisingly very quiet and smooth even though they might be a little scratchy, I dont mind the scratchiness. Happy to see that the stabilizers on here are pre-lubed so no rattly stabilizers. I love the feature of routing the cable, you can route it to the side or in front, and the cable is detachable and you can easily replace if you wanted. The keyboard comes with 5 extra switches if one of the keys are broken. The default keycaps are perfectly fine but I wanted to replace them with the HyperX keycaps. The RGB on this keyboard are very nice, very smooth and better than some RGB presets from other expensive keyboard companies. My keyboard came a little bented so it would wobble a bit but I easily fixed it by adding a thick rubber piece on the bottom of the keyboard and it wont wobble anymore but if you are wanting to buy this then there is a really low chance of this happening. Theres not that much downsides to this other than the bented board but that was easily fixable. Overall 10/10 keyboard would recommend to a friend.

> 24 hourReally needed a white keyboard to go with my new set-up while also wanteing to downsize, and boy this thing is great. Love the routing channels for the cord, love the feel of it, and the lighting looks wonderful. Only have a few dislikes. First, I cant seem to find a mode to just set a solid color. Second, the keys seem just a little loud (I went with the brown switches), but they still arent quite as loud as blues I suppose. Ill probably just spend a few bucks on some o-rings to fix this. ALSO, BIG PLUS is the lack of branding on the keyboard. They avoided slapping logos all over it in gaps or on the top. The only logo is a small one on the space bar that is actually kind of cool.

> 24 hourGreat lighting, kinda confusing controls, doesnt transfer lighting to PC to PC so if you want a certain animation you have to cycle through the options again. Keys feel very nice and satisfying, and the build quality is perfect. The nice big and thicccccccccc font is easily readable and the lighting is perfect. Very compact, making it easy to bring to tournaments. The cable isnt braided or USB-C which is a bit disappointing, because the cable routing will ruin the cable if moved

> 24 hourAlthough it isnt one of the $150 gaming mechanical keyboards it is a great keyboard. The blue switch version, which I got sounds just like the real cherry mx blues. Only thing that would lower my rating would be the space bar ping. Very noticable. RGB is great with many lighting effects. For instance, the rainbow one is great. There are even some RGB color switching that isnt included in the manual. Overall a great keyboard and perfect if you are going with an all white peripheral setup.

> 24 hourDidnt know what to expect ordering this keyboard, after seeing the large variety of 60%/ similar looking keyboards for sale. But this one truly, truly feels worth the price. Absolutely beautiful RGB LED backlighting, small size and lightweight, and tested 100% compatible with our extra Cherry MX style replacement keycaps. Lighting effects are fun and all the main effects are there, FN hot keys work and its easy to remember the important ones you use often. Unlike most of the other small 60% size boards missing the F keys, having them with this board is really great, and doesnt add much to the overall size whatsoever! Great keyboard, and if it stays around this price I might purchase another for work!

> 24 hourIf you are buying this keyboard for cheap 75% clicky-key action and some nice RGB, this is a good choice--4/5 stars. Solid plate, small form factor, thin bezel--just a nice board. Be warned, youre buying into some serious click here; of clicky switches, outemu blues are considered louder than their Cherry or Gateron counterparts. Some may be disappointed by the lack of so-many-million color shades, or such-and-such color option, but for half the price of a typical 75% keyboard this seems alright. However, I bought this to change out the switches--like it advertised. Since this is a DIY board with no soldering, my ergo clears should plug in, right? Ah, no. Not quite. Two big issues: First, about 15 of the original outemu blue switches were solidly stuck into the board. No soldering, but there was a weak glue holding some of them in. After breaking through the switches housings from pulling so hard, I opened up the case. Careful prying with a tiny screwdriver managed to bust them out of the pcb. Second: the copper posts on the Cherry switches are too big for the holes on the pcb. Outemu switches should be fine--just plug in with no problem. To get my Cherry switches to fit, I grabbed a nail file and filed every.single.switch. After 4 hours filing all the copper posts to skinner versions of themselves, the Cherry switches could fit. But after all that, I managed to get my 75% keyboard with ergo clears and the neat semiotic standard keycaps from SP. To recap: if you want a very clicky and affordable keyboard, this is a strong contender. If you want to change out switches, you are in for some extra work.

> 24 hourRecently my Corsair K70 met an unfortunate fate at the hands of my younger family members. So unfortunately I was in the market for another mechanical keyboard without breaking the bank, because we all know nothing breaks until you cant afford to fix it. I came across this keyboard, but was very skeptical because of the price point. This keyboard was literally half the price of my previous keyboard, so I expected it to preform how one would imagine. Surprisingly this keyboard had the same tactile feel, reassuring sound and similar quality of my previous keyboard. All the switches were working, and werent as loud as traditional blue switches which I found very attractive. Gives you the right amount of clack if you know what I mean. The back plate being metal Is a very nice touch. I love how sturdy the build feels, although Im sure youll need to clean this more than your average black plated keyboard. Im not big on the whole RGB thing, but it seems you cant escape that trend when it comes to purchasing modern computer parts and accessories lol. So if youre looking for some cool light functions, youll find it here. I never owned an 81 key compact keyboard, but I gotta say Im really enjoying the space it allows me to have. I was worried about things like multimedia keys and such because of how available they are on Corsair keyboards, but all my worries were thwarted once I got used to the FN+Multimedia keys. All in all Im not sure if I just happened to get the blessed keyboard in my time of need, but I can definitely see myself buying this keyboard again or recommending it to a friend or whoever is reading this.

> 24 houri love this keyboard. it sounds great but if someone in your household has a problem with noise, then i would not get this. its small and heavier than a normal keyboard. i like that it is heavier because it wont slide as easy. they keys are all super responsive and you dont have to press down hard on them at all. the colors are great. i just wish it came with some kind of case that i could store it in while im on trips to keep the dust off, but other than that, its a great keyboard. i would definitely recommend this to a friend
