Greater than one weekI have recently gotten into keyboard modding. What I wanted was a basic prebuilt keyboard that I could then mod. This one fit that need perfectly. Right out of the box it actually didnt sound too bad! I mean there is no thock here but they switches do not sound pingy or cheap. This means Ill be able to lube the switches, or change them out all together since this is a hot swap keyboard, throw on some nice keycaps and most important for that great sound is some sound dampening inside to get that deep thick sound everything is searching for. The RGB combined with the semi transparent case really makes this keyboard shine, literally! If you are looking for a good starter keyboard to start your adventure into keyboard modding, I think this one is a fantastic choice on a budget!

> 3 day60% Percent Keyboard - Womier WK61 Keyboard, Hot-Swappable Ultra-Compact RGB Gaming Keyboard w/Pudding Keycaps, Linear Red Switch, Pro Driver/Software Supported - Phantom Black After watching with bemusement the Womier WK61 build competition held by a group of popular Youtubers, I was quite interested in trying out the Bakeneko-style mod featured by Keybored in that particular competition. That meant buying a silicone O-ring gasket for the mount for a minimal fee. After putting everything together, along with JWICK Black switches, I have to say that the O-ring gasket mounting provides for a nice soft typing feel with some minimal flex, but more importantly it does provide for a uniform sound profile across the board. The board itself is surprisingly well built for the price point, utilizing a daughter board USB-C connector that lends itself favorably for trying out unique mods such as the above. The keyboard layout is wonky and forces you to toggle arrow navigation keys with a Fn-I press, and again another Fn-I to toggle off the arrows. This is not the best implementation of embedding nav keys. The better way would be what a lot of other 60% keyboards do: embed them into the bottom row of modifiers (i.e. the Alt - WIn - Ctrl + / keys). For me ultimately the subpar layout is a nail in the coffin, I dont find myself using this one in my usual rotation. When there are dedicated kits out there that do a proper gasket mount, come with a polycarbonate plate, with screw-in PCB mount stabilizers, at a budget price point i.e. the CIY GAS 67, there is not a lot this offers to recommend it.

> 3 dayThis is a fine keyboard and I love that its hot-swappable but the USB Type-C port on the keyboard is loose. It still works just fine but it doesnt give me 100% confidence in its quality or longevity. Only time will tell though, right? Other than the loose Type-C port the rest of the keyboard seems fine. I love the color scheme (I got the Glacier Blue one) and I like that it comes with another color of keycaps to swap it out with right out of the box. I immediately swapped the keys out for the dark blue color as I like the contrast between the dark and light keys. Typing on it seems fine and works just like it should. I havent used it for gaming and have only used it for office-type work. Overall satisfied with purchase but would probably not buy again. I have other wired keyboards I like and prefer to use far better than this one. Id probably just switch to this one if I needed a change of scenery or something.

Greater than one weekStraight to the point: This is a great hotswap 60% option for getting into the hobby of mechanical keyboards. Ive been modding mine heavily and it looks, feels and sounds exactly as I had imagined my 60% keyboard when I first decided I wanted one. The lighting effects are superb. Definitely invest in some switches with transparent top housings to let that beautiful light shine through. It comes with Outemu Reds which are pretty good if you like linear switches and they do have transparent top housings.

Greater than one weekI use this keyboard for fortnite arena and Call of duty and this keyboard is great for the price. The rgb gets very bright and lights the whole keyboard. There is a video of this keyboard go watch it for more details but I have nothing bad to say about this keyboard.

> 3 dayMine came with the spacebar retention mechanism broken, so I had to use super glue to get the spacebar to work properly.

> 3 dayThis is a great keyboard. The red switches are quiet but still have a satisfying feel when you type. The LED lighting is 100% customizable with the app, or you can use the function key commands and change the presets without using the app. The 60% form factor is a major space saver for your desk. For gaming, more real estate for your mouse movement is a definite plus.

Greater than one weekWhat an adorable little keyboard! I love the pudding caps and they were a major buying factor for me personally since I love the look of the RGB. Great for starters on customs and most of the starter supplies can also be bought on amazon! If you are unfamiliar with a 60% keyboard it is worth looking into first since it is quite a bit different if you come from a bigger keyboard. This for me is perfect as I dont have a lot of desk room and like drawing on the same table! Great cute spacesaver! can be modded to sound pretty nice! I love how quiet mine is! Will for sure look for more good stuff from this company in the future!
