> 3 dayFirst of all - the color is stunning and a whole vibe. Secondly, I LOVE THIS KEYBOARD. I seldomly get this excited over anything but its totally worth every penny. Its a little heavy compared to my other keyboards but I appreciate that. The keyboard has a Bluetooth function that worked seamlessly! Its rare anything I own with Bluetooth doesnt have some type of issue. The keys on this keyboard click incredibly pleasantly and smoothly - both for feeling and hearing. I had to adjust a bit because its a smaller keyboard but I really enjoy the clicking and the way it feels when I type. Its definitely not a loud mechanical one so if youre looking for that this isnt the one for you. I think if Id order it again Id get the bigger size!

> 3 dayWith the advent of hot-swappable switches, I normally order keyboards like this with the goal of stripping it down and adding my own. However, this keyboard has given me second thoughts about my process. The Gateron G Yellow Pro switches came as a shock. While I ended up lubing them myself, anyone who isnt a keyboard enthusiast/addict will be satisfied with the quality of these switches. If you do end up wanting to put your own in, cherry switches are NOT compatible - so be warned. Additionally, the stabilizers (for big buttons like spacebar, enter key, etc.) are REMARKABLE. One of the biggest pains is opening up the entire keyboard, PCB board and all, to determine whether or not its even possible to lube the stabilizers. Thankfully, they were well-coated with Krytox 205g. Ive always been a Royal-Kludge stan when it came to modifying keyboards, but their name-brand switches cannot compare with the likes of these. All in all, Id recommend this keyboard to those who arent sure what switch is best. Just because this one isnt clicky doesnt devalue the quality thock it provides.

> 3 dayIve been using mechanical keyboards for quite some time. I generally prefer full-size keyboards, complete with the numeric keypad, but these obviously take up some extra room on my desk. For some tasks (video editing, photoshop work, etc.) I need a bit more desk space for other devices, and so a small keyboard seemed like it might do the trick. Im not a fan of any of the color schemes, but I went with the Lava Brown because I prefer darker keys. The knob on the side looks ridiculous and out of place. Connectivity was fine in any of the modes (at least, on a Windows 11 PC... I didnt try it on a Mac). I used it in wireless as this is a only sometimes keyboard for me and I dont want to play with wires all the time. Key feel and response is excellent. Has a nice sound to it that isnt annoying in the way that some keyboards can be. There is no built-in adjustment to raise the back angle as you might have on other keyboards. The big problem for me is the key arrangement on the right-hand side. I know they had to minimize, but some of the decisions are truly questionable. The biggest issue for me is the Backspace key. It is small and normal-sized, instead of the wider key cap that you would normally find here. I tend to reach for this key a lot, and this throws me off. There are also some shifting around of the keys in the lower-right quadrant for space saving reasons. It just feels like things are in the wrong place. If you look at the larger models, you can see that many of these issues are resolved there, so it is strictly a space minimization trade off.

> 3 dayI am writing this review with this keyboard specifically. Things of note - The backspace key is 1U. This took me surprisingly little time to get used to. I think it helps that the controls for the keyboard are next to it so that even if you miss the key, you wont accidentally hit something else. They could have squeezed another U in there if they had made the controls smaller. There is no adjustment for tilt, it is pretty aggressive out of the box, but I find that this is very comfortable to type on. Ive been using this keyboard for work for the past two days and have had no issues. Bluetooth, 2.4Ghz, and wired connectivity work just as you expect them to work. NKRO in wired and wireless modes. North facing LEDs Some XDA like profile, very easy to type on. Double-shot keycaps. These are Gateron yellow switches, but they have been pre lubed. The stabs have been lubed as well. This is the nicest sounding sub 70 dollar keyboard I have used in a long time. The case is plastic, but it is a thicc plastic. Has a good thocc. They include a plastic keyboard cover, which I think was more for shipping than for use afterwards, but it works when you want to have a snack at the desk without worrying about crumbs. Also included is a purple color matching USB C cable. I wish it had a better battery indicator. With my machine (Windows 11) it seems to report battery levels, but they are a bit erratic when lower than 10%. The only physical level indicator on the keyboard itself is a low battery indicator on the keyboard. The rotating selector switch is nice, but it is a bit crunchy. It almost has extra detents that are close to the selections that you would make. I found that if you are close to your selection, it still works. There is a small slot on the keyboard for storing the 2.4Ghz dongle, which I LOVE. The software for this machine, which can be found on the mfg website, has all of the features I would want. You can adjust the 2.4 and BT sleep settings independently from each other (LED sleep, and keyboard sleep) You can be more specific on the LED colors within the software as well. It does request a firewall exception, however I have not looked into it. It does offer update capabilities for keyboard firmware and software (neither available at the time of this review) Most keyboard that I get that are sub 80 dollars usually make me want to open them up within a few hours of receiving them to mod and tinker. I havent gotten the urge to open this one at all. If there were a better device level battery indicator, a bit more room for adjustment for tilt, and better windows reporting of battery, I would give 5 stars.

Greater than one weekSo, out of the box I was in love. This keyboard looks awesome, it has a wonderful weight to it (wonderful if you never take it anywhere, anyways) and I love the color and the layout. I wish the keys were double shot and transparent as RGB is a bit of a waste without them... If you are not used to a full sized board definitely make sure you have a wrist rest or you will get fatigued super quick, as its pretty high profile. the main thing I dont like about this keyboard are the switches... I just dont prefer yellows. I find them a bit sluggish on the return especially. I dont have other yellows to compare to to say if its THESE yellows or ALL yellows but they are definitely not my preference I honestly really like it other than that though and will probably just customize it from here, not scrap it entirely.

Greater than one weekThis is a review of the 109 key version in starry cyan. Its a full-sized keyboard, significantly larger than the 67 key version, which might have been something of an inconvenience for me should I have gotten it (long fingers, large hands). The design of this keyboard is both functional and versatile. It includes 22 RGB light modes with adjustable brightness, which allows you to adjust the gaming ambient light. It also features a Mac keyboard that adds compatibility with both Windows and Mac systems. You accomplish this by turning the key on the top right corner of the keyboard to switch between the two different systems. I tried both and had no difficulty: both systems operated smoothly once I got the hang of it. Two significant features struck me as very helpful: the key legends are separately molded into the keycaps, so the legends should stay legible and apparently wont fade even after heavy use. Itll take some time to verify that. Also, the use of high-grade oil-resistant ABS keycaps on this keyboard are advertised by the manufacturer as being less prone to long-term grime buildup. Thats great if it works and only time will verify that claim as well. The keyboard features three Bluetooth channels, a wireless 2.4GHz channel and a USB Type-C wired mode. All three worked well when I tried them, though it took me a while to establish a Bluetooth connection with my tablet and one of my laptops. This keyboard allows a connection to five devices by turning the knob on the top right corner to switch between them, but I wonder how frequently Ill use that feature. All-in-all, this is an interesting, multi-functional keyboard with a lot of possibilities. It will take me a while to learn just how useful those possibilities really are, but it should be a lot of fun trying them out and learning what this keyboard can do.

> 3 dayI absolutely love this keyboard. Its got matte like finishing. The keys are soft and have a perfect sound. Low pitch key hits. The keys are customizable online with the software including lighting colors. It can be wired or wireless. I cant wait to change out the key caps down the line!
