As someone that owns/collects keyboards, this one stands out in the crowd. It has to do with the feel and sound of this very small keyboard, it has no right to feel and sound like it does for it's size. It sounds and feels like a bigger, more expensive keyboard. The sound and feel has been described as a "creamy" typing experience, and I have to agree. Very smooth, very quiet, and just feels amazing to type on. A rare achievement in a keyboard of this size. It reminds me a bit of some of the smaller Keychron K series, only smoother even. Now is it perfect? Nah. I didn't care for the tactile, or the linear switches. They do offer a clicky switch, but...not installed in the keyboard. So if you are a fan of clicky switches, you will have to do as I did, and purchase them separately. So once you add up the price of the keyboard (it is not cheap!) AND the additional 90 key pack of clicky key switches (it is hot swap!), you are talking about a pretty expensive venture into a small keyboard. Was it worth it? For me, yeah. For sure. It is a unique keyboard, that I have no keyboard that matches it for typing experience for it's size. Now, that said, if you are more mainstream, and like tactile or even silent linear switches, they have your number....IF you like the color choices they give you. By that, I mean you can get tactile switches, IF you like a black keycap keyboard. If you want linear switches, you have one choice; white keycaps. Why they limit the choices like this is a mystery to me. I even wrote them, and they say basically, that is what we offer. Period. I was looking into a full size, 100 key version, and if I wanted clicky (Wizard) switches, I'd have to buy TWO packs of switches, since they come only in packs of 90. Come on, Lofree, where are our options!? All this said, this is, in my opinion, the Rolls Royce of typing experience in this size keyboard, period. At least for stock keyboards. And they know it.

I’ve had over 20 different mechanical keyboards over the past 8+ years. I’ve built my own, and spent hundreds and hundreds of dollars on different keyboards over this time. I was in the market for a low profile keyboard (granted this is the first one I’ve ever purchased), but I have to say that I’m blown away by how exceptional this one feels and sounds to type on. I originally opted for the black (tactile) switches as I thought the shine-through problem wasn’t present with the backlight, but sure enough it is but only noticeable when my room is dark. This is not a deal breaker for me, and considering I got the keyboard for $130 on a Black Friday sale, I still think this board provides great value and a fantastic typing experience for the price. In terms of feel, and overall build quality I believe this keyboard has one of the best typing experiences over any other keyboard I’ve had previously. (My previous board was an Aula F75, I’ve tried keychron boards with custom switches and hand lubing, Glorious etc) I understand why many of those who are reviewing this product are not happy with the backlight issue, but I understand from a manufacturing standpoint considering this is a relatively new company and the key caps are very thin. I personally just disable the backlight when my room is dark. Overall, I’m very happy with my purchase and would buy another again. If the backlight problem is a deal breaker, I would look into Numphy keyboards although I spent ~3 hours comparing this board to Numphy and the Lofree flow was a better fit for me. Read more
I've tried many mechanical keyboards over the years from keychron and others and this one just takes the cake. The build quality, sound, tactile feel are all top notch and far beyond the price you pay. Have both linear (white) and this variant and slightly prefer this one, but both are excellent. Read more
If you're in for a tactile feeling and a thock sound, this keyboard is a must. However, the lighting sucks a lot, its so dim I'd rather rely on my own monitors' light than these baby leds. Also, bluetooth isn't that great, sometimes it laggs. That said, overall, if wired... this is a really nice keyboard, slick design and everything else feels premium, even for that hefty price tag.
