> 3 dayI searched for a 60% keyboard because I would keep smacking my mouse into my larger one while gaming on low sensitivity, and this one was at least $20 cheaper than the competition while having the same features if not more. REVIEW It does not have dedicated arrow keys (function keys needed) or kick out feet, which I knew before buying so no problem there. The included Bluetooth was not something I personally used, but the option being there at this price point is pretty nice. The case is plastic but I had no issue with the build quality, it feels solid. After a full year of use, it is just as solid and reliable. Ive used Brown Cherry MX switches before and the Gateron Brown switches are great in my opinion. Tactile and pretty quiet. Oh, and the keyboard lights up with pretty colors! Overall this keyboard met all my expectations and then some. The cherry on top was the aesthetic it gave my setup, the only things on my desk were my 3XL mousepad, mouse, and 60% keyboard. Initially it didnt seem like too much changed swapping from my TKL keyboard, but when I put it next to the 60% it looked bulky and extra in caparison. PROS -Relatively affordable -Space Saving -ACTUAL RGB with different color modes - Bluetooth if youre into that -Minimal aesthetic -Good switches CONS -No dedicated arrow keys -No kickout feet TL;DR: Its small, aesthetic, feature packed, and affordable. If you use arrow keys a lot, it may not be worth. If space is the priority, it is definitely worth.

> 3 dayPros: Small, light, compact Hot swappable and 5 pin switch support Wireless dongle and bluetooth Cheap Cons: Stock keycaps feel chalky Slightly harder to get used to 60% layout compared to full layout. Overall, 9/10 budget keyboard, would recommend if you need to save money on a cheap keyboard you wanna mod. If you don’t want to mod, you should consider buying a more expensive keyboard.

> 3 dayIm fairly new to the whole custom keyboard life. But this was a good starting point for me. The battery life is meh but beyond that everything else is easily changeable with a few youtube tutorials. And even with the stock linear switches and some better keycaps its a great value. The ergos are a slight bit uncomfortable for my taste but a decent wrist rest fixed that immediately.

> 3 dayThis keyboard was great for a long time. I bought a little over 6 months ago and have since lubed the switches (Gateron Browns) and even swapped out the keycaps to a sweet vintage looking pbt set. Now right off the bat the performance of this keyboard is great while plugged in, no issues at all. I dont mind really having to use the function keys to use the arrow keys at all. The problem was when i try to use bluetooth. I really imagined this as the perfect keyboard for me to take on the go to do some programming for games at coffee shops to switch between my ipad pro and my laptop seamlessly. And it was that for some time (though never at an actual coffee shop for obvious reasons). Bluetooth would connect easily enough and switching between devices was a breeze. And then one day, it didnt. Just out of the blue one day it stopped connecting to bluetooth. I cant even get into bluetooth settings where the keyboard flashed red to signal that you are switching between different bluetooth devices. Every once in a while it would magically work again, which would make me think that I did something wrong and accidentally hit a combo of keys that disabled it. However after using software that (i had to hunt down on the internet for by the way) it not work. Now the bluetooth is completely shot and unusable. This is really dissappointing because I loved this keyboard and I want to love it again but I just doesnt do what I need to do. I cannot recommend this keyboard, I would just get the purely wired one for less money. unfortunately I now have to shell out money to pay for a more expensive keyboard that works. Royal Kludge if youre hearing this, please fix this and Ill update the review.

> 3 dayOverall for the price I have really enjoyed this keyboard. There is however one thing I am not particularly fond of. That’s the keys not functioning/working when the board is low on charge. If you keep it plugged in this is no problem, but why plug in a technically wireless keyboard.

> 3 dayThe keyboard is very nice and Ive had it for about 2-3 months now. Ive been able to switch between my laptop and my ipad when Im typing notes for class easily and it doesnt take a lot of desk space as I currently have a small desk so that was a big plus. However, when I play video games with my friends, Ive noticed the keys occasionally get stuck. For example, when I go on minecraft, I will press on the A key to go to the left and then i remove my finger but Im still moving to the left. It will only stop, once I press on the key again. I also have tried to download the software for this keyboard to see if there was a way to fix things through it and upon opening the program, I am given a screen that says no gaming device found and then the program closes. I try again assuming I downloaded the wrong one, but to no avail, it still will not work. I do recall reading reviews warning me that the keyboard isnt great or some other con and that I shouldnt buy it, but I ignored them and now here I am writing my review. If anything, this keyboard is great for typing up notes, but when it comes to gaming, I dont recommend too much unless you dont have the keys getting stuck problem, but even then, it might be a risk if you buy it and end up getting that problem later. Im now looking into other keyboards and will probably just sell this keyboard to a college student in my city who may be more interested in using it only for typing and not gaming as well.

> 3 dayMy 10 yr old is obsessed with key boards. He does his re search and even has some great expensive high quality key boards I have purchased for him. This is by far his favorite. He has changed the keys on it but for preference in color and sound. He loves this keyboard better than his 300 dollar one.

> 3 dayThe price does not reflect how amazing the build quality is of this keeboard. You dont need to replace or mod anything, the switches are so responsive and it feels heavy/good quality. Coming from a 90$ hunstman mini I was not expecting the difference but its something you only feel after trying it. Similar to switching monitor hz for gaming!
