Well I'm pleasantly surprised. I was 'stocking up' on keyboards, so to speak. I saw this one and just hadda give it a shot, especially since I can never go back to a non-mechanical. It IS a bit difficult training my fingers to readjust to raised round keys, but I'll get there. Only been about 30 years since I used at type writer. Honestly, the round keys make typing a bit more tedious, but it'll probably actually improve my key accuracy over time lol, though currently my wpm are suffering. I like it. I like the color modes, it's surprisingly perfect for xmas season.. Minimally invasive, and as a highly sophisticated arm chair commando who runs keyboard in his lap.. It works fine there too. I just need to learn to stop hitting keys next to the keys I'm hitting. Practice definitely required for this guy. Has an excellent clackey sound one comes to expect from mechanicals, and the keys are surprisingly light to the touch - though you DO have to make sure to press them in alllll the way. Read more

Ok, firstly, I rarely write reviews. I had this in one of my lists for 2 years and it went on sale on Black Friday for $50 and decided to get it. I read all the negative reviews also and purchased it anyway (I'll follow up on those later). Let me start by saving I have never had a luxury keyboard or anything like that. I typically worked with stock or easily affordable keyboards and mice. So if you're like me, this review will be most helpful to you. I cannot critique this from a high-end perspective because I am a plebian lol I love this keyboard. The response and tactile elements are very satisfying. The LEDs are beautiful and not distracting. There are a bunch of different color settings to equip (Fn + Del, Page up, Page down, Home, etc). To me everything about this keyboard is a win. There is a little learning curve as there is transitioning to any keyboard of a different size, however, there is a little more of a learning curve going from square keys to rounded keys (this took me 2-3 hours). From the moment I took this keyboard out of the box I knew it was going to be great. The keys are straight up ASMR and the push back on the keys is fantastic for the tactile sensation. Let be clear that this keyboard does make audible clicks and may be louder than what you're used to working on (for me I was working off of a laptop keyboard). I love that though and that's where the ASMR comes in. Also, I think different sides of the keyboard have different button click feels to me; which I love. This is the best keyboard I have ever owned and I am very much loving it for the price. Some of the one star reviews say there is fading on the keys after use and the silver key rings fall off. There is a 5 star reviewer (I believe) that put the Amazon link for replacement keys. A full set is under $20. For this keyboard, I have no problem buying the keys and doing that in the future if need be. To me that's absolutely worth it. Another reviewer said that the Volume +, Volume -, Mute, and Calc keys didn't correspond to the functions on the key itself, this has not been my experience. I am unsure what happened with their item but this is not something I've experienced. I also find the dedicated Calc Key fantastic because I will be using this keyboard for work and sometimes I do need to use the Calculator. A few one star reviews said the keys ghost or activate commands unprompted, this has not been my experience. I think one reviewer said there is no light for cap lock or the other locks. I can confirm that there is indeed a light but you don't see as well because everything is lit up, but there is definitely an extra light that comes on when cap lock and num lock is on. If this is very important to you, you can change to a less bright setting where that will stand out more (easy way to see it without doing this is looking at the key rim directly in-front of that key, or the key toward the right; it will reflect back a little off the rim). I can't speak toward longevity unfortunately, but from the way it feels and responds now and the quality of it's build, it doesn't feel like it's going to break on me, but, that remains to be seen in time. I did get the extra warranty with this just in case. Actually, particularly because of the 1 star reviews. I think 2 or 3 years was $8. It's a wonderful keyboard from my perspective and I would gladly buy it again. Hope this review was helpful to you! Read more

This keyboard is exactly as advertised. It lights up on the sides and all of the keys. It seems sturdy and comes with instructions on how to change the lights and how they illuminate and flash. The keys give off a satisfying click when pushed like a typewriter. The number and Caps Lock turn white when pushed to let you know they are active. Good choice for this style and a great bargain.

I’ve had this keyboard for four whole years so I think now is a good time to write a review finally LOL. pros: - it still lights up! the colors are still so fun - the mechanics still sound great, like a typewriter - the price is still so good and affordable. 4 years ago i couldn’t afford a super fancy typewriter keyboard so for this price, this is definitely a great keyboard. - a numberpad was a must have so it was a huge plus to have the numberpad on this one and it works great - keys are easy to use, press, never got stuck/sticky for me. - size is about the same as a typical office keyboard, so you don’t need to worry about too big/too small cons: - it’s a bit loud. i will say i did have to switch out this keyboard with my regular old office one because typing while on a phone is loud and i didn’t want to annoy the hell out of the person on the other end. so i kept having to mute/unmute which got annoying and i ended up just switching for the time being. i also work from home alone so i dont have to worry about annoying anyone else in a typical day to day. - something surprising: the metal part along the border kept shocking me???? i had to put tape over it to cover it but whenever my wrists touched the metal border it would shock me. it was bizarre and i haven’t looked at other reviews to see if anyone else experienced that as well. overall, it’s a decent keyboard at an affordable price. there’s some quirks but honestly it’s held up very well for me after these years. i can’t complain.
