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)

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

Was scared at first after I opened the box to see keycaps flying around/jammed into other ones. Thought it came broken. Besides that, after using the keyboard for a few days….definitely worth the money. Excited to customize and mode it some more

Let me start off by saying that this is a PHENOMENAL BUDGET KEYBOARD! The RGB is really bright and colorful (in day and night time), it is compact, and I love that the board is fully hot-swappable! I will be modding this keyboard because the red switches provided are a bit too ✨clicky✨ for my taste, but this is overall a very solid board. I did change out the stock keycaps to LTC pink pudding caps, and you can check out my Amazon review on those if you were considering purchasing them (because I do have a few grievances). If you’re looking for a nice budget board, THIS IS THE ONE TO GO FOR!

I haven’t swapped out the keys yet as I’m waiting for a new set to arrive, but so far I’m incredibly impressed with the keyboard. It has hot swappable switches , RGB, recordable macros, and has decent key caps. It’s basically the Magicforce/Varmilo layout but with hot swappable switches. There were no reviews and thought I’d give it a shot. Completely worth it and I have no regrets. The next model just needs to add RF connectivity (and because some people seem to be ok with unreliable and laggy wireless connectivity - Bluetooth).

The rgb colors are very pretty & come in a great variety of colors & patterns. The brown switches that come with the keyboard are pretty good although a bit to hard(heavy?) for my liking (I replaced them with Gateron brown switches). The design of the keyboard is very simple but very nice to look at. Its very easy to disassemble for any kinds of mods. Just be careful when removing the keycaps as it can pullout the switch by accident. Also be careful switching switches as you can accidentally bend the metal pins. Will have to write an update a few months later.

Great mechanical keyboard with necessary functions at a good price

It came with some odd Jerzi red switch clones. These switches sound good/similar to my ducky one two mini Gateron Reds. They have a very light actuation force though, I noticed myself pressing space bar without intending. I purchased some AKKO Rose Reds but preferred these. Im currently trying KTT Mint Liners that sound amazing in this keyboard. Hot swap is easy, and the board had some foam inside the case! I added a bit extra as it isnt too thick but Im surprised to see it included in the board. The stabilizer are also pre lubed, havent checked to see if they are clipped though. They also seem to have some foam between the pcb and plate. The keycaps arent great like every other keyboard but I swapped them out with some XDAs and they add to the sound and experience. Id suggest to move the logo on the side or back as its a bit obnoxious sitting on the front and slightly better keycaps. With included foam, hot swap, and pre lubed stabilizers I find this hard to beat. Will update if I have longevity issues.

Punches above its weight. If you dont need wireless, this is the one. Solid build, strong backlight.

Was a gift for son. He loves it!!!

I purchased this to be one of my work keyboards. Within two weeks I managed to somehow put my keyboard in a setting that didn’t allow me to use the number/f row. I sent an email to the company and within a day they got back to me and the fix was super easy (space bar + fnc). I really enjoy this keyboard.
