LTC NB681 Nimbleback Wired 65% Mechanical Keyboard, RGB Backlit Ultra-Compact 68 Keys Gaming Keyboard with Hot-Swappable Switch and Stand-Alone Arrow/Control Keys (Hot Swappable Red Switch, White)

The nimbleback keyboard is great! The extra 2 usb slots helps a ton for those who use need those extra slots! The RGB lighting also looks wonderful with a fair amount of customisation. Sadly, although the presets are awesome, they don’t have a gradient option (or at least right now), that cycles through certain colours, and only has the rainbow option. Customisation for the keys are also quite nice, allowing you to change the input for keys using the software. As for the actual key caps and switches customisation, it’s easy and simple to swap out seamlessly.

This keyboard has everything I want, and at a cost of only $49! It is hot swappable. As a comparison, even a common hot swappable barebone is above $60, and usually above $80. Its build quality is excellent, very steady. It has good quality PBT key caps. Its software is very easy and use and versatile. The layout is compact and comfortable to use. Its RGB is very beautiful. All these only cost $49! This is incredible, beyond my imagination. I love it!

Best keyboard I’ve ever owned

I liked the hole deal. Would order again Let it ship to the Netherlands. Only downside is no bluetooth.

When booting up my pc, it takes forever for the keyboard to register key inputs. Takes a few minutes after start up to get it to work smooth. The RGB lighting is really dim also. Even with brightness turned all the way up. I expected better with the price point. For these two downfalls I knocked 2 stars off. Enough with the negative.. the quality of the mechanics are good. With gateron brown switches it sounds amazing. Strokes feel good when playing FPS and for just typing. The hot swappable switches are super nice. I havent molded it yet but plan to just because its my first modable keyboard and Im not going to return it for what Ive encountered. I recommend it if you can deal with the RGB not being bright and the delay of operation at boot. Overall, its a nice board. Just not the best out there. Keep looking around before you chose this one.

The generic red switches this came with are okay. I immediately switched them out with Kailh Box Pinks. If you change out your MX mechanicals much this is a nice board to have around.

Love it! Customizability is excellent with the nimbleback, ur able to remove the outside casing which is very handy, since it can give it a more slimmer and minimal look. Quality overall really good! Currently running hippo linear switches and some XDA switches on them. I should mention however, i wish the rear kick stands were a little bit taller. But other than that its amazing!

now this keyboard is not very good stock. rattly stabilizers, not great switches, ok keycaps as well as just a lot of echo in the click of the switch. but it is very good for customizing throw in some better switches (I did aqua kings and speed golds) open up the keyboard replace the stabilizers get some styrofoam in the bottom of the board and replace the keycaps. you have a really good keyboard. so dont buy this if you intending on not spending hours at a time opening up the keyboard and more money to make it better. but if you do want to do that go ahead.

Its like, holy cow! Am I right? Holy cow!

I dont know how you get a much better value than this if you do not need Bluetooth. It is one of the few mech kb 60-70% with TWO USB pass throughs which is super useful if you want to plug/unplug one thing when you want to go mobile. Its small but not tiny, you can go floating keys or keep the bezel on, has three macros, lots of rbg (north facing so be careful with cherry profile keycaps), Mx style Cross caps, hot swappable switches. With a little foam, lube and new stabs (the factory stabs are really bad but cheap to replace with duroks) this kb sounds better than my razer huntsman TE. Im waiting new caps and switches (swapping to tactile) and this will be a completed build until I can afford an endgame board and wait a year for groupbuy lol
