> 24 hourGreat little 65% wireless keyboard. I was hoping for more battery life but chargi g every other day isnt the worst considering the price. The rgb is over the top but easy to turn off (that is probably the fastest battery killer). Awesome little gaming keyboard for the money with little to no lag on the 2.4 receiver. BT had some lag but that is part of BT, it works with my phone for responding to emails/texts.

> 24 hourHonestly great value. I have been building keyboards for about 2 years now, spent around $1500 just this year and here is my review: 1. Great value: I have been looking for a keyboard to mess around with and to make a switch tester out of. This is the best value Keyboard I found recently. Nothing under $39 can get you all this 2. Under $40 with specs: 3-5pin hotswap, mult mode connection, magnetic top housing. 3. Cons: stock keycaps/switches - not so great, even though they give you 2 sets of black and white, I prefer 1 decent keycaps rather than 2 I won’t be using. 4. Mod: I tried tape modding, didn’t work cause if you put tape under the pcb, the board will be too thick = can’t access the mode button underneath. Spent about 30 min before taking everything out. 5.Overall: I still think it is a great value for those who want to start mech keyboards, or whoever wants to have fun with modding affordable keyboard. I customized 2 to give out as Christmas presents

> 24 hourThe positives: This keyboard has a nice package experience, featuring well-written instructions and . It comes with key pullers, a whole extra set of white keycaps to replace the black, and even a magnetically detachable frame, which ostensibly lets you choose between a black keyboard (with the frame) or a white keyboard (with the frame removed). Although personally I think Id prefer to just buy either a white or black keyboard. The 65% layout is nice and compact, without sacrificing the arrow keys. You can press Fn+Z to switch into macOS mode, which swaps the position of the Alt and Windows/Cmd keys, a layout I prefer. Be warned if you choose to replace the keycaps, that you will need non-standard caps for PgUp, PgDn, and Esc (these are in different rows compared to the standard 100% layout), and right-Win, Fn, and right-Ctrl, as these are all 1U width compared to the typical 1.25U. The set I bought used the XDA profile (all rows the same height), and included plenty of variants of the modifier keys, so I had no issue here. The negatives: This keyboard uses Jixian Brown switches, the most bargain-bin cheap tactile switches Ive ever had the displeasure of typing on. They feel mushy, scratchy, not to mention incredibly pingy. Each keypress produces very noticeable resonance within the case. To a first-time mechanical keyboard owner, this might turn them off the hobby. I suppose you could mitigate this by lubricating the switches and adding noise absorbing foam to the case, but (as the keyboard is hot-swappable) I plan to just replace them. The switch stems are *incredibly* tight, such that removing the keycaps requires an unusual amount of force. Multiple times, I accidentally dismounted the switches instead, especially trying to remove the backspace and enter keys. Another flaw I noted is the USB-C port, which has a very deep and narrow shroud around it. Out of all the other USB-C cables I tried (which all have slightly thicker housing around the connector), I could only make it work with the included one. This is particularly annoying for a wireless keyboard, which youd generally leave unplugged, then attach to any old USB-C charger when the battery runs out. For $59, I wouldnt recommend buying this keyboard, except as a cheap starter for someone looking to

> 24 hourIve been building keyboards for a few years now, and Ive found its often very economical to buy a cheap mechanical keyboard, take it apart, install my own switches and keycaps, and sometimes even my own 3d printed case, or a case meant for a more expensive setup. Anyway, I had the same plans for this board when I purchased it. after taking it out of the box, I could tell the switches were the typical cheap switches that normally come with these boards, so I immediately removed them and through them in the trash. I put in some of my own lubed linear switches, and it totally transformed the feel and most importantly, the SOUND of this board. the board uses plate mounted stabilizers, but they are actually very good to my surprise! I added a little dielectric grease to them, and they now sound like some of my premium screw-in stabs I have in more expensive keyboards. I mean, there is no rattle at all! So I decided to keep this one the way it is for now. The case does sound a little hollow, but I think I can put some sound damping material in the bottom to improve that. but as it sits, this is a great keyboard in its price range.

> 24 hourThe Unboxing experience is like no other keyboard thus far in my personal experience. Everything was so nicely boxed and it came with so much. You get the keyboard with stock black keycaps, and Jixian Brown Tactile switches. An EXTRA set of white keycaps. A switch, and keycap puller. A non braided USB A to USB C cable. Back up Jixian Brown switches. A user guide for keyboard shortcuts depending on Mac/PC and Which country/Language. The instruction manual in general which is nice and thick. A little envelope with Klim branded stickers and a little flyer about the little 10 person team that makes these boards and how to contact them. I was pleasantly surprised by the keycaps, never seen a keyboard come with an entire set of extra keycaps. It is a 65% with tri mode connection (BT, Wireless with dongle, and USB) Honestly, stock right out of the box the keyboard isnt bad. The keycaps are ABS but they look and feel nice IMO. The white ones look better and have better shine through with the RGB. The RGB also bounces off the white metal plate super nicely. The Jixian Brown switches are pretty tactile, definitely better than MX and Gateron Browns. The stabs were flush, and prelubed. There was a tiny bit of foam in the case and nothing between the PCB and plate. There are a total of 8 screws, 4 on top 4 on bottom holding this keyboard together to the case. There a daughter board so the USB C port is inside the case and not on the PCB. The 2.4ghz Wireless Dongle sits flush on the outside rim of the magnetic shroud. The button to change modes on the bottom is a toggle rubber dome like button and each mode has a designated color. 3-5 Pin Hot Swap. North Facing LEDs The keyboard didnt sound bad for the price stock but I knew it could use some love so: 3 layers of tape on the back of the PCB two layers of foam between the plate and PCB Unlubed clear top Gateron Yellows stabs were flush so no need to clip, dielectric grease on the wires. Contact Zip N Fit perforated shelf liner in the case I might go back and redo the stabs totally with band aids on the PCB to help but honestly for my cousin its more than fine. This is in my opinion the best value budget keybord in my opinion for what you get, and the potential of what the board can be.

> 24 hourI like this keyboard a lot but I feel like it’s not really bright. Not sure if the pictures may it look a lot brighter but in person, doesn’t feel so bright. Nonetheless still love it! PS: the key cap set up is one of their ideas!

> 24 hourBought this on a whim to use with my Steam Deck in a setup. Its quickly become my go to keyboard for all my devices. Its solid, feels good, has good key travel and sound, good battery, and good RGB. The frame is magnetic, it comes with a second set of keycaps in white, and comes with a magnetic slot for the 2.4 Ghz receiver. I could not be happier with this keyboard. Im adding KLIM to my list of KB companies to watch.

> 24 hourIf this was just the keyboard I might be a little leary of the price. However this keyboard comes with an entire second set of white keycaps! In my opinion it makes this a pretty good value. In additional you can remove the top rim of the keyboard so you can have a bit of a lower profile look to it. I like that it attaches with magnets instead of some kind of plastic clips. The linear switches have a bit more of a bump that I was used too. Say a bit more than your typical Brown switch so if thats a feature you like then this keyboard might be a good choice for you. The keyboard is a bit more hollow sounding that I would expect for a keyboard at this price point but again you have to keep in mind you are getting the removable top plate and a whole nother set of keycaps. This keyboard is 3 and 5 pin compatible so there is a lot of growth here if you decide you want to mod the keyboard.

> 24 hourI have a gaming rig which needs a small gaming keyboard that I can disconnect the cord and use wirelessly when needed. This keyboard fits the bill and has a lot of versatile features. I can use bluetooth or wireless connectivity depending if I am gaming or just surfing without the cord. The bluetooth feature allows a memory of 3 devices so I can quickly connect to other devices such as my iPad or iPhone. The keys are smooth and responsive to my inputs. The keyboard itself has a small footprint but it has some heft to it. Ive used other compact keyboards which feel like toy plastics. This feels like a quality build. This keyboard also includes the dedicated arrow keys (as well as delete, page up, page down). Some other compact keyboards require a modifier key to use the directional keys which can slow you down. You can use a customizable app to program macros on your keyboard. It also comes with a second set of (white) keys to use as replacements or just change the look of your keyboard. All in all, I really like this wired/wireless compact keyboard.
