The media could not be loaded. As I'm typing this review from this exact keyboard, after searching for weeks reading reviews and watching videos online on the best Bluetooth/2.4GGZ/wired keyboard to buy. A clear victor was chosen and let me just say I am downright shocked how premium this things feels, it is not a budget keyboard. The packaging shows that. An envelope that looks like an invitation with three different versions of a welcome guide to KLIM in three different languages, are you for real? A cardboard reference under the keyboard that shows a layout of suggestions for the white/black keycaps? Get outta town! An included keycap puller and setter neatly tuckered on the side with a few extra brown switch replacements, all the while a large manual is tucked away in well written English that is get this...actually helpful and something I've read cover to cover? Ya'll are absolute incredible at what you do! I don't think I've ever been introduced to a company with a short comic detailing the love and attention that went into just shipping my item. Like are you for real? Genuinely have never seen the red carpet approach rolled out like this for a keyboard that costs half of what Corsair one does and roughly a quarter of what Logitech charges, for the exact same features, while exceeding my expectations/ It's quick, snappy, the RGB is adjustable, the 2.4G dongle is MAGNETIC so it stays in place, swapping out keys is incredibly fun and easy for an absolute novice like myself, it has a 2,0000mah battery, charges quickly, included a roughly 4 foot USB to USB-C cable for charging and connection that has a velcro strap to keep it neat and organized, weighs just enough to make it feel portable enough but heavy enough that I know it won't be sliding around (looking at you Logitech pebble keyboard), and is by far THE ONLY wireless mechanical keyboard you should buy. Make the right choice and support this company who is comprised of experts who care about their product and care about YOU. I am blown away this keyboard is not skipping a beat as I type this. It's fast, it's charming, and I am quite simply in awe I didn't discover this keyboard sooner with how much garbage is on the market. I'd have been overjoyed spending $120 on this thing. Selling things online as a side hustle, almost exclusively from my phone means my hands get cramped always tapping my phone in the same position, moving my phone so I can take a picture, then losing my train of thought when I am writing the description of an item or researching what is a fair price. This keyboard is a game changer to maximize my workflow and focus on keeping me productive. All the while can be a incredible keyboard I can put in my bag and pair to my Steam Deck while I'm travelling. TLDR with it's solid battery life, stable connection, portability, build quality, magnetic 2.4G dongle, premium RGB, easy to swap keys, a full set of extra keycaps, premium and lovable packaging, lightning fast response time, multiple ways to connect etc. Buying this is an absolute no brainer! You all at KLIM are amazing, your packaging is bar none incredible, your product is INCREDIBLE, and you have an absolute super fan on your side from here on out. This has been one of my longest written reviews for a reason, buy this keyboard! Read more
4.75 stars out of 5 Pros-- Wired or wireless connection via USB-C (Yay!), Bluetooth, 2.4GHz (don't know if this is Wi-Fi or not since didn't try it). Wireless connection (BT & 2.4GHz) is provided by a USB dongle on back of keyboard, and can likely be replaced with a different dongle unit if needed (did not test this though). You will still need to plug in the USB-C cable from time to time in order to charge the battery for wireless mode. Seems like a supercool feature, since can use it wired while in desktop usage, but then can use wireless temporarily for mobile applications, like giving a presentation in a conference room, etc. Silent mechanical keyswitches (low force, non-clicky, linear non-tactile). I would say like Cherry MX Red switches. Can replace black keycaps with white keycaps, removal tool included. Full tray of white keycaps included. LED patterns and colors for just about everyone's taste, though no solid white color, :( -- see pics. Very clear English instructions in manual, that work. USB cable included is long enough to reach PC on ground behind desk, however, if you need longer then you can use/buy a 6ft+ USB-C cable and it works fine. Yes, tested this with a 6ft Hannord USB-C cable. Lighted characters on keycaps, i.e. the actual character on each keytop lights up instead of just being painted on. Does NOT have the ridiculous numpad sticking off to the right side. Seriously people, only about 0.5% of the population still uses those, such as accountants and bookkeepers, for everyone else it's just a nuisance. Cons-- Wish every keyboard manufacturer would make the character shapes on all keycaps much larger. In other words, make the letters nearly the size of the XY dimensions of the keycap top. E-Yooso Z-88 was better than most for this but is no longer available --> https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CMNZRKP Some odd choices for key placement, such as the Delete key is not in the upper right corner, but one position down. The above mentioned Z-88 had a seperate row of Function keys, whereas this KLIM keyboard requires use of Fn key in order to access Function keys. This may be a problem in certain game situations, depending on the game input keymapping. Wish every LED keyboard include white or near-white color, though a bright yellow can be acceptable as well, though not quite as good. This keyboard only has a bright yellow, no white color for LEDs. See pictures. Misc-- Did not test the wireless functionality in either BT mode or 2.GHz mode since I use the keyboard for gaming and don't want to deal with wireless input latency lag that typically accompanies wireless input devices (though there are some wireless input devices designed especially for gaming with minimal input lag; don't know if that is the case or not with this keyboard). Summary-- Very compact using minimal desktop space. Wired or wireless (BT, 2.4GHz). Full tray of both black and white keycaps. Delete key in odd place. No white-color mode for LEDs. Character size on keycaps could/should be larger. No seperate row for Function keys. Read more
This is my 2nd KLIM keyboard. I bought the 'Chroma Wireless' years ago but unfortunately put it through too much abuse when I wasn't sober & so it broke ( well ,I broke it ). I could write a whole chapter about just how awesome this KLIM SHIFT mechanical keyboard is. From its size, to 3 different connection modes, to the awesome RGB lights-combinations. You can even download their RGB software and really go nuts - sky's the limit. I dig the 'typing sound', long battery life after a single charge & I appreciate that the USB cable (which doubles as a charging cable) is over 5 feet long. I've had much more expensive keyboards that came with a "charging cable" shorter than a frigging cigarette. That really irritated me b/c every time it needed charging ,I literally had to wait 3-4 hrs before I could use it again.So big thanks to KLIM for giving us a nice ,long USB cable which allows us to charge the keyboard while still being able to use it , be it via Bluetooth , USB or the 2.4 GHz dongle. Like I said ,I could write a whole chapter on how much I love this little but powerful , well made (yet very reasonably priced) mechanical keyboard. Made in Deutschland instead of China (for a change). Immah finish up with : JUST GET IT ! Read more
Great little 65% wireless keyboard. I was hoping for more battery life but chargi g every other day isn't the worst considering the price. The rgb is over the top but easy to turn off (that is probably the fastest battery killer). Awesome little gaming keyboard for the money with little to no lag on the 2.4 receiver. BT had some lag but that is part of BT, it works with my phone for responding to emails/texts. Read more
