NACODEX AK510 Retro RGB Mechanical Keyboard 104 Keys Anti-Ghosting - PBT SA Spherical Keycap - Customizable RGB Backlit - Programmable Macro Function (RGB Black Switches)

I have really enjoyed using this keyboard. I put together a retro-style setup for my office, and have really enjoyed this keyboard so far! Its as close as Ive ever come to the old IBM keyboard. I love that it can be customized with the orange keycaps too. It is very high quality all around, and I have no performance issues so far. I am not 100% sold on the switches, although they are a nice blue clicky switch, and my only complaint is that its not a hot-swappable board. For the price, though, its still a great value and definitely looks and sounds the part of a retro keyboard!

This keyboard is really neat! I love the nostalgic look of it while having modern switches. I got the brown switches and really like them. Very smooth feel and not overly loud. I really am impressed with this keyboard for the price.

The keyboard is about 10% shorter from back to front, and just a few percent narrower from left to right, than the IBM model M / Unicomp modern classic keyboard. That means that I dont type as well, as the keys are just a little closer together, so I more often mis-type. The keyswitches (brown, I believe) dont have quite the right feel. Its not bad, but its definitely not as good. Lesson learned, Im a classic IBM buckling spring, not brown or whatever other color guy. The backlighting is good (though a less game-y version would be nice; yes, I know, its sold as a gaming keyboard). Overall, for the price, I think its better to go for a slightly higher-end model. (Also, finding documentation and drivers, although I did find it, would be a real put-off for many users; the brand naming Nacodex/AJazz and the poor website design dont make it straightforward, as other comments here have noted). So, not to be a repeat purchase.

I like the little water drip effect when a key is pressed aswell. :)

Love the Beige/Gray/Orange color scheme, like if Nintendo made a mechanical keyboard! The text on the space-bar is unnecessary, Tried to wipe it away with a Mr. Clean magic eraser, but no luck. Otherwise its awesome!

After about 30 days some of my keys stopped working. For example the letter C gets stuck and sometimes doesnt register, and sometimes it registers double. A big shame since the keyboard is otherwise fantastic, but if the keys dont work, it doesnt matter if it feels great

Typing on this now.. Im kind of old school hunt/peck type of developer. Appreciate the click and travel of the keyboard. After my logitech, which was a lot softer, died decided to upgrade to a more quality keyboard. I guess this is promoted as a gaming style keyboard but works great for my non-gaming purposes. I like the retro-look as well. Colors are fun but not a requirement. Would recommend though it is kind of pricey but in between the high end keyboards (which I considered) and the budget keyboards which I use frequently.

I ordered the brown switches on this keyboard as i figured the blue switches would be too loud for my taste. when it arrived it had blue switches. I returned it and was sent a replacement that ALSO had blue switches. I specified in my return request what the issue was. Very frustrated because otherwise the keyboard seemed great. Just upset that they advertised brown switches when those were unavailable.

But I love it.

I have to admit that while I wanted a utilitarian keyboard, I also wanted something for a retro nostalgia trip. This keyboard meets my expectations on both levels. The blue switches and cupped keys totally remind me of the classic spring-switch IBM keyboard I learned on, right down to the auditory feedback. It reminds me of late nights in the computer lab full of students cranking out term papers in college. The beige and gray look is exactly what I wanted. It comes with three orange keys and the tool to pull and swap them out. I think you could go with either look, as theyre both aesthetically pleasing. The function of the keyboard is magnificent. I might be a little overly-impressed since Im switching over from the low-profile Dell stock keyboard that came with my computer. The tactile feedback and bounce off the keys has easily added 20–30 WPM back to my typing. I also have lifelong carpal tunnel syndrome, and this is completely comfortable, even when typing several thousand words a day. The keys are tightly spaced, but that means you dont have to break your wrists when using the CTRL/ALT keys. You might have a different experience, but I think its better than ergonomic keyboards Ive tried. Its actually enjoyable to type again. Im not a gamer, so I didnt think Id care too much about the backlighting, but I actually love it. You dont need a driver to change (just FN+PrtSc / ScrLK). There are several fancy options, but the solid backlight is actually quite useful. I like that you can choose soft LED colors like red and yellow, especially since everyone is suffering eye fatigue working from home. I wouldnt think Id get excited about something as basic as a keyboard, but this company totally gets it. Its all about going back to basics and making a peripheral thats pleasurable to use, and they nailed it. The aesthetics and customization are just the cherry on top. I may buy a second one when I go back to my office later this year.
