    I have a problem with having to buy smaller gadgets to be able to fit everything on my desk. This is very good quality. Wonderful sounding blue switches. Tons of options for the light patterns and plenty of easy shortcuts to use for it having less physical keys. I was hesitant to use the Bluetooth at first thinking it would have a little more lag than the USB key but I cant feel a difference between the two. Absolutely love this little keyboard.

    This keyboard isnt the best there is. It isnt the greatest thing you will touch. However it is one of the best keyboards in this price range. I dont like playing video games, and am not a fan of rgb, so I turned down the brightness of the lights on the keyboard and it works great. I like the feel of the red switches, but it is a little louder than I expected. The function commands are a little confusing and understanding the User Manual is a chore, but once you get past it, the experience of using the keyboard is phenomenal. The Bluetooth feature is extremely useful especially for people who dont like clutter. I personally didnt find any problems with Bluetooth connection

    I’m typing my review on this keyboard. I got the white one with the blue switches (I think they are Kailh Blues) and I’m pretty impressed with this keyboard for the price. Many of the reviews on this products complain about the weird placement of the arrow keys and combined functions of other keys, but in reality that the nature of most 60% keyboards. The wireless connection is solid, although using it without a cord for gaming introduces a good amount of input lag (blues are crap for gaming anyway). There seems to be an older version and an updated one, the updated one has some more ergonomic key combos to activate certain functions, and also have a USB-C cable, which is much preferable to a micro USB. Make sure you guys look at the manual and keep it in case you cant remember some of the unmarked key presses, such as ctrl + enter to disable the arrow keys. Typing on this keyboard is very satisfying, with a nice click and feedback every time you press a key. The keys are well spaced, and they each have enough heft so they can’t be pressed by accident. Someone with larger hands shouldn’t have much trouble using this to type. Also due to its size it is pretty easy to carry around in bag if you are trying to use it as a portable keyboard. I also like the fact that you can pair it to 3 separate devices at once and switch between them very easily. The backlighting is pretty great, especially when typing in the dark. All the other lighting mode other than the standard one are a little too flashy though. I usually just turn it off to save battery, which has been pretty good so far. I’m also using this on a iPad and it paired really easily and has had 0 problems with it so far. Make sure to switch to Mac mode from the Windows mode or vice versa. (Ctrl + A or ctrl + S) The downsides of this keyboard are the key legend which is a little cheesy, as well as how loud it is (that’s the nature of all blue switches though). Also if you listen closely beyond the loud clicking of the keys, there is some metallic pinging that can be heard. It isnt the greatest sounding thing in the world, but is mostly drowned out by the clickiness of the keys. Overall this is a great and rather discrete looking keyboard that is great value. Hopefully reliability is good, will update if anything happens to it. Buy this if you are considering it. EDIT: They are Outemu blues

    Keyboard arrived within 24 hrs! I bought this for my teen’s online schooling & as a wireless keyboard for the M1 Mac Mini. The key board is noisy (reminds me of the old key boards in the 1990s) but my teen actually loves the clicking noises as they type and use the keyboard. They also like how you can easily customize the LED light features of keyboard. With teens using the keyboard, I expect a lot of pounding and wear & tear, which is why the allure of a gaming keyboard appealed to me. I figured if it was good enough for gaming it should hold up under the use of high school students :) Battery charge has held up with daily online school use (it has been about a week so far w/o needing to charge it)... Awesome value! Would definitely purchase again.

    PRO * Very affordable 60% Mechanical Keyboard, especially given the Bluetooth connectivity. * OEM Keycaps are actually fairly thick in comparison to other mechanical keyboards in this price point. When measured with digital calipers the factory OEM keycaps were around 1.3mm. (EnjoyPBT or GMK keycaps are 1.4 and 1.5mm respectively). * Keyboard has fairly standard keycap sizes which makes switching to an aftermarket keyset easy and painless. * Surprisingly sturdy build especially given the price point. * On/Off toggle switch for the Bluetooth radio on the bottom of the keyboard. * LED indicator under spacebar for when keyboard is charging. CON * Bluetooth is Bluetooth version 3. However, for general typing use this shouldnt be an issue and wasnt an issue in any of my experience. However, if used for gaming you might want to play plugged in via USB to avoid any latency. * As I generally use fully programmable keyboards or keyboards such as the HHKB Professional BT where the Control key is where the Caps Lock key is placed, Id really like to be able to reprogram the keyboard layout via a desktop application or perhaps via an Android/iOS application such as what is present on the Anne Pro from Obins. This is also true of the arrow key placement as Id prefer to use HHKB style arrow clusters or at least vim arrow keys (hjkl). IMPROVEMENTS * Would like to see different switches offered such as Gateron Silents. * Perhaps switch to white LEDs as this would be more pleasing and would match with aftermarket keysets better. * See misc improvements or changes Id personally prefer to see throughout the review. MISC FEEDBACK * The model I am reviewing had a generic Cherry MX Blue switch in it. Normally, Im not one to use a clicky MX switch as I tend to prefer Cherry MX Silent Blacks (Linears) or Zealios (67g Tactile) or Topre style switches. * Personally, Id prefer to have paid $5 more to obtain this board with a different selection of switches (Gateron Silent Blacks for linears, maybe Silent Gateron Browns for Tactiles?) over the switches included. * When utilizing the LEDs the Caps Lock key is not turned on by default, unless caps lock is active. Id prefer to have all keys lit if LEDs are activated and when caps lock is turned ON to have the LED shine a different color via an RGB LED in this switch.

    I bought this keyboard for occasional use with my iPad mini. I wanted a Bluetooth mechanical keyboard that’s not too big and at a good price. Build Quality. It’s built much nicer than I expected (especially since I was going for a lower price point). I love the feel of mechanical keyboard, and i can type super fast with it. The weight of it, feels substantial giving it a quality feel. But not too heavy where I wouldn’t want to carry with me in my messenger bag to Starbucks. I’ve only had for 1 day, but I doesn’t seem like the keys will pop out easy and for no reason. Criticisms. The font choice used on the keys. I assume they are trying to appeal the ‘gamer’ market. It’s not ugly. Or that obtrusive. It’s not something I would go for if I had a choice. Definitely not a dealbreaker. Also, to pair the keyboard- you actually have to read the manual. There isn’t a separate tiny button that you would expect. You have hit fn+tab, then fn+p. Not that it’s hard, but i don’t know if it’s something i’d Remember or have the manual on me when i’m on the go. In short, this is probably the best bluetooth keyboard for under $50.

    This is a cool keyboard for this money! Small in size, mechanical and nice look. The complicated part is few things (typing / and ? damn hard) and there are wired configuration change unless you are aware of it. Based on its usage, FN key should have been placed on the left The battery life rating is not useful -- just started to use it. Remember few things -- very important! * There are key sequences that changes keyboard behavior -- so beware when you type wrong * Shift-tab switches wired vs bluetooth mode. Wait for this to fully charge to stop seeing wired behavior. * Fn-P enable bluetooth pairing but only after charged to some extent. * key sequence is important -- not just the simultaneous press. Typing Shift-FN-? will input question mark but FN-RightShift will toggle the FN press mode! Beware what you press first! * Try combo of control, function, shift, alt -- they change the settings. May be user number keys will become function key by default and number key via FN. So if you happen to make this mistake while typing, you will enter wrong thing. * There is no CAPS lock indicator light. * For mac, enable the on-screen keyboard display so that you see what you press. Dont know how to enable the lock button updates: I had been using this keyboard for years now. Compared to a recently purchased one which does not have the /? typing issue and random function key pressed weird reprogramming -- this one is really grrreeaaatt one. No mechanical or connection issue as such.

    I love NEARLY everything about this keyboard. The keys feel so nice and satisfying, the size is perfect, and the lighting features are awesome. The only problem (and it is a BIG one for me) is that the / key and the up arrow key share a single key and you have to use the FN key to toggle between them. As someone who is a writer and does a bit of coding as well, this is just not practical for me. I use both keys all the time and its not just a rare inconvenience, but a constant one, to use the FN key to type out a slash. But this experience has made me realize there is, in fact, a reason gaming keyboards are gaming keyboard. I would imagine, when gaming, the need for a slash key isnt critical. But for my everyday purposes, both those keys are. Ill be returning this keyboard,but Im going definitely check out Royal Kludges other options because apart from that one major quirk, the keyboard is great.

    This worked very well when connected to my XBoxs you can’t use this wireless you can only connect it to the XBoxs this works on many game but some you cannot use this keyboard with is GTA, Over Watch Apex Legends and more some you can use it on Mincarft, Fortnite,Call fo Duty Modern Warefare, Sea of Thieves, the sims 4 bomb crew and more also works on PS4 I don’t use the newest XBoxs I use a XBoxs I bought 6 years ago so any XBoxs works with keyboard and mouse. Hopefully this helps also if you have problems with this connecting to your XBoxs or PS4 you have 30 days to return it so instead of going through a hassle if it doesnt work just return it and buy a different one also the software isn’t working well so get the backlighting color you like before buying and if you want to buy new KeyCaps look for MX Cherry KeyCaps because those are the ones that fit this keyboard.
