> 24 hourUPDATE: after a maddening back and forth with the seller, they gave me a simple fix of resetting the keyboad, esc+FN. (Why couldnt they have told me this from the beginning? I had to prove it was happening when they had a fix ready for me.) Anyway, it fixed the issue for about two weeks, then a couple days, and now I have to do it every day now. They said theyd give me a refund and asked me to email them with another picture showing this thing defecting. I did, and crickets. NOTHING. I got a bad keyboard. Ive since replaced it with my old keyboard and I doubt I will ever buy from this company again. Im a writer and wanted a keyboard that had that sound of a typewriter and I absolutely LOVE rainbows, so this was a perfect fit. It works for Mac without issue, and while I found the attached wristguard uncomfortable, you can tuck it under without issue. I have no issues using this keyboard, none really, until I use it in my word processor, which happens to be Microsoft Word. TL;DR it has shortcuts that you cant disable, causing major shocks to my heart when it tries to close my WIP. This keyboard changes the justifications, adds formatting, selects all and continues outputting what Im typing, effectively deleting EVERYTHING Ive written. (thank goodness for undo.) Tries to close documents, minimizes and opens documents, opens a search bar. Im at a lost! Ive gone through all short cuts and tuned off sticky keys and it STILL DOES ALL THIS USELESS JUNK WHILE IM TRYING TO WRITE! This keyboard has caused hundreds of near heart attacks by attempting to close, minimize, select all and replace on my docs, while Im actively writing. It even turned on track changes and screwed with my formatting! I dont understand why it does this. there doesnt seem to be a way to turn off these hidden shortcuts that I am not purposefully executing. (Ive looked everywhere) I know how to use a keyboard, but apparently this and microsoft (On a mac I guess?) are not compatible. Im about to unplug this thing and go back to my $20 logitech keyboard, so at what point is the purpose of this keyboard for me when all I use it for is to write!? Im so sad and disappointed and extremely frustrated.

> 24 hourIf youre looking for a nice quiet keyboard, this isnt the pick for you, but as far as style points go, I personally love this thing. The amount of RGB customizations surprised me, easy programming with no software needed, which was a huge plus for me. The round keys were exactly what I was looking for, and the metal face makes the entire board very sturdy. The response time is definitely a huge improvement from my last keyboard, though I wouldnt say its anywhere near perfect. Tldr; great board for a good price. Highly recommend.

> 24 hourI wish it was brighter, and maybe that it had some shortcut buttons at the top instead of just function keys. Other than that this keyboard is really cool! Its great for gaming, but when youre typing it is just heavenly. It takes a few days of using it to get used to it though.

> 24 hourGreat keyboard, I mean, I fell in love with it! I drank wine near it and whilst playing a scary game, I spilled the wine on it. I disconnected the keyboard, dried it out, and connected it back. It was acting quirky at first but then, boom! It worked normally again. I bought it in June and it is January, the silver lining on the keys started breaking off on the keys I use the most. So, I basically started having black keys. Decided to get clear keys and replace the typewriter-looking ones... Great decision! The keyboard works great, just the keys itself start falling apart.

> 24 hourGreat design, absolutely love the key functions and the retro style !!! Only problem is when restarting my computer, the keyboard doesnt seem to connect rendering it useless.... Not sure if its a compatibility issue or what...I have to unplug and re-plug the keyboard several times before it will finally connect and be used.

> 24 hourI find myself having a real hard time typing on this keyboard due to the round keys. Constantly having to fix my words a lot more. The quality is very nice and colors are great. If you can type with it then you would probably give it 5 stars.

> 24 hourIf what youre going for here is pure aesthetics, its a lovely little mechanical keyboard. Its easy enough to get used to the round typewriter keys, and I admit I had a bit of fun playing with the color options of the keyboard. I was also lucky to not be subject to some of the issues others experienced with the silver rings falling off - my keyboard arrived intact and with no failed parts. My biggest qualm with this keyboard is the space bar, and that one key is what keeps this from being a five star keyboard for me. I have a typing style that tends to smack the space bar on either end - however, given the trigger key for this is only in the middle of the spacebar, that means Ill frequently fail to register a space when I hit that space bar. Its annoying... but not enough so that Ill end up replacing the keyboard. From an ergonomic standpoint, the wrist rest is awesome and all, but long periods of typing means that my wrists will get a bit fatigued from such a straight and closely-packed traditional keyset. If you deal with wrist issues from an ergonomic standpoint, this probably isnt the keyboard for you.

> 24 hourThe lighting on this keyboard is beautiful and there are sooooo many options as well as an option to customize the light pattern you want displayed. Lastly, the typewriter feel to the keys is extremely satisfying

> 24 hourSo I love love love the look of this thing and I happen to be a fan of a clicky keyboard so I like the sound of the keystrokes. The colors are fun and bright and really nice however the letters and numbers could be a bit brighter and it would make it nicer. Now as for the problem. It took around six hours for my hands to map this thing out. Felt like the spacing of a typewriter which should have been expected as it has the look of a cool cross of RGB and typewriter. It was something that I overlooked when I was exited about the appearance. Other than that no worries. I like it!
