> 3 dayI was amazed at this keyboard. The build quality is amazing. Keys are very responsive and the braided cable is a nice touch. If youre looking for a gaming keyboard I highly recommend this one RGB and the programs are easier to use.

> 3 day***This is my first mechanical keyboard*** and I love it. Of course, I may just be in love with the blue switches. The keyboard works perfectly fine. After 48 hours of use my only gripes are that since Im using this on my Mac I cant download the software to edit the keyboard easily. Initially I was a little bummed about that because I wasnt a big fan of the lights, but they arent distracting when Im using it and its a bit nifty that itll highlight the keys with alternate functions when you hit the fn key. The other gripe is something Im not sure whether is an issue stemming from my inability to easily customize the keys or whether this is a problem throughout. Ive found when attempting to use the arrow keys for YouTube controls, scrolling through in-game chats, other various non-traditional menus I cant seem to get them to work properly. Beyond the arrow keys bug and the lack of Mac software, I havent found any issues with the product. P.S. If youre concerned about the size of it, it doesnt take very long to adjust to it if youve ever used the apple keyboard without and numpad.

> 3 dayIve been using this Keyboard since July 2nd 2021, so about six months now. Although its advertised as a gaming keyboard, I will admit i also used it to do school work since it was already plugged in. It was so satisfying using this keyboard thus far and i just thought I would leave my impression of it. First of all, the sounds of it are just amazing, keeps me wanting to play video games and leaves me wanting to type more when I am on it. The keyboard itself is very customizable and you can change the ways the lights function as well as the actual key switches themselves if you want a different sound or feel. I did lose my part to make key changes but thats no big deal. Overall its a great keyboard, has the perfect sizing, and it is very ergonomic. I am happy I have been using it this long with no issues and dont see the need to get a new one anytime soon.

> 3 daySo prior from this purchase i had the ascent one 60% keyboard. to be honest i really didn’t like the asceny one since it gave me many problems like bad response time and occasional lags. So i bought this as a replacement since i didnt want to spend $200 on a keyboard and because i plan on buying a nicer keyboard during the holidays. And let me tell you, straight out of the box you can feel that it has a good weight to it. the keycaps as well is a matte finish. the optical brown switches are way quieter than the gateron brown switches i had with my asceny one keyboard. the th61 also comes with tools that u can use for ur keyboard. overall i give this a solid 10/10 since the price itself is a steal for the quality of the board.

> 3 dayThis keyboard took me by surprise. Packaging was quite simple, a black box with branding and inside, the keyboard in a plastic wrap and a compartment for the pullers. Of course, I plugged it in immediately. I was really happy to see that the LED’s are very bright, maybe too bright, I still haven’t looked into whether or not I can turn the brightness down. I chose the black switches for my keyboard because I wanted something a little quieter than my other keyboard’s blue switches. I am pleased with how they sound, and they’re really nice to keep quiet while the wife is asleep. Switch actuation is tactile and very responsive. It takes more pressure than the blue switches on my other board, something that I like. This keyboard is great for gaming as well as typing things up/working for a bit. Another point, if you have big hands, DO NOT FEAR, the spacing is the same as a regular sized keyboard— I feel this is a common misconception with these 60% boards. Overall, if you have 40 bucks lying around and want an extra keyboard or just want to experience a 60% board, don’t hesitate to get this one. I’m more than happy with my purchase and I was surprised by the quality.

> 3 dayFor only about $30, this is actually a really nice beginner board for those who are either interested in getting a mechanical, or even those who have a interest in modding one. Since these switches are hot swappable, it makes it very easy to pull out the switches and lube them and such. Or, even try aftermarket switches. Ill go over some pros and cons. Pros: -This keyboards RGB is actually pretty bright and vibrant. The colors are way better than other cheap keyboards that Ive tried that also have backlighting. And the software for it is decently fleshed out in terms of customizability. -The small formfactor makes it really easy to put on just about any desk space. -The cable is USB-C and detachable, so if it ever breaks in the future, its easy enough to get a new one. -The red switches are pretty smooth, and sound better when lubed. (I compared one lubed to one stock) Cons: -My biggest gripe is honestly the weight of these Red switches. Ive tested them and they are not light at all to press down. In fact, I tested them and they are actually a little bit heavier than a Gateron Black switch, which is a decently heavy switch in in of itself. Since I prefer lighter switches, this actually causes fatigue in my hands a lot sooner. -The red switch is also not that quiet. The clack sound they make when you bottom out can actually be just as loud as a click of a blue switch. Lubing did help the sound a little bit, but a standard MX Red switch is way quieter. -This is a little nitpicky, but, the stabilizers are factory lubed, but they do still have some rattle to them. They dont sound too bad, though. Ive heard worse stabilizers from big name companies, like Razer for example. Overall, for just $30, I would recommend this board, especially if you want to spend a little extra on new key switches. That would take this board even further and make it a decent little daily driver.

> 3 dayI am super surpised by the build quality and features for the price. I am only a little bummed as I paid 40$ on Prime Day, as it was 60$ list price, now its 35$ with Prime. Regardless, the only thing missing is wireless which I dont really care for anyway - I guess I could use it with my phone and Xcloud, but thatd be few and far between. The plate/case is very solid and well built, looks great, the lighting is bright and hits incredibly. Built in effects are numerous and fun. The switches are swappable without soldering, which is convenient (though I solder regularly) and the Optical Reds used feel great. Its weird coming from the Brown styles I used before, which I wanted linear instead as they felt grindy. These are great, though I actually wish the actuation force was lower but thats something I can change so its all good. I got it for experimentation in that regard anyway. All the leys that need it have the second functions, and the keycaps feel quite nice also. I do wish they had the second functions on the side, but no biggie. The cable for the white one is very pretty silvery white, USB C and braided. Could be a little longer but its not stupid short. Also, the port is on the left side, which I think looks nicer than centered. Right side would be ok too. I havent tried the software yet, but maybe Ill make an update when I do.

> 3 dayI figured Id check this keyboard out since Ive slowly been getting into smaller and smaller keyboards. I had my reservations about the optical switches but figured it was worth the risk at this price point. Now that Ive had some time to check it out, Im more or less sold. I cant tell if their speed is much different from electric switches, but they are quiet and feel great. I ordered the keyboard with black switches, which ended up being linear; I cant comment on the weight, since I dont have any other linear switches on hand to compare it to. As for the rest of the features of this keyboard, Im pretty impressed. Besides the keyboard, the box contains a keycap puller and a switch puller. The removable cable is braided and quite high quality, with connectivity provided by a USB C port. I use Linux daily, so I wasnt able to test the driver software, but I was quite impressed by the number of lighting effects available out of the box. It looks like the customization options are quite numerous, though, which is important for a keyboard this small. The lack of a larger online presence for this company does seem a little concerning, but for the price, it can easily be overlooked.
