The media could not be loaded. If you are interested in transitioning from an old school to mechanical keyboard, want something with an absolutely sick looking design, is simple to use, and doesn't have insanely loud key press noises, this is definitely a top option! I have had this unboxed for barely 30 minutes and am already in love with it. It was super easy to plug-n-play and use the built in functions immediately. I have used old style, full-length keyboards for decades and was extremely hesitant to try out a mechanical keyboard, especially because of the noise I had heard from seeing video reviews and how unsure I was if I could deal with the loss of full buttonology. One major reason I looked into one of this type/size was that I realized one of the main reasons I have issues with soreness and pain in my left shoulder, neck, and upper arm is due to how I would position my left hand and tilt the keyboard in order to use the traditional movement keys WASX on a full sized keyboard for gaming. With this one, my arm is now in a natural resting position at 90 degrees against my side, negating the angular stress on all those muscle groups, and when I want to do some typing while gaming, I don't have to stretch across the board to my left as much with my right hand to get to home keys. Additionally, one big assumption killer was that, even though the size is cut down by a ton from a full-sized keyboard, the muscle memory transition to the slightly more compacted keys took hardly any time at all when typing with home keys. I type about 100 WPM, so I assumed I'd have a super difficult time with this aspect of the transition, but the spacing of keys doesn't have a huge difference of feel. The other big plus is that the noise level isn't huge on key press when gaming, and is not bothersome when typing; it's not that high pitched clickity clack you might get from many other types, rather a dull, thud-like sound. Now add in the amazing painted design (especially if you like Japanese wood block print/art), and the colored light functions, which mind you are accessible by using the keyboard and the built in mini screen aka not requiring you to download software, as well as the pre-programmed FN + <key> functions that replace the buttons you lost from a full sized keyboard, and this thing is just a dream. HIGHLY RECOMMEND to one and all, especially old folks like me that are afraid to make that leap into transitioning to a mechanical style board. P.S.: If you're looking for actual dimensions of the keyboard itself, which are not on this Amazon page nor on the company's item page, they are approximately as follows: 12.75"x5.75"x1.375"-0.875" (the last number is the height, without the height extenders being used, at the top of the keyboard vs. at the bottom. it slopes upward towards the back) Read more

I never heard of the brand before. I was watching a recent Linus Tech Tips video and Pleuf mentioned the brand and the aluminum clad version of this keyboard and that it was a great value for the money. My Razer mechanical keyboard has been irritating me lately and for the price, it was hard to ignore. I know I'm going to miss having a numpad on my keyboard but I really only use it for unlocking my computer. A warning to other linux users. The F keys do not work as the normal F1-F12 keys. They only picked up as the app or system shortcut key as if you were holding down the Fn key. I installed input-remapper and was able to change each to the proper F key designation. Took maybe 5 minutes and I left F10-F12 as volume control keys. The linux issue is the only reason for 4 stars and not 5. No reason for it to act like that other than simply ignoring linux users outright. ---------------------------- A hand full of days later and I am so happy with this keyboard. The sound it makes when typing is so satisfying and down right pleasant to hear. The feel of the surface of the keys is a smooth matte feeling. I've cycled through the RGB pattern choices and there are several that I could see myself rotating through from time to time. I changed my star rating from 4 to 5 because even with the work around to get the F keys working correctly on linux, its such a good keyboard for the price. 10/10, would recommend to anyone that wants a great first (or in my case fourth) mechanical keyboard.

This keyboard is really great for the price range. The keys feel very nice to touch and makes a satisfactory click clack. Read more

There are a lot of great things about this keyboard, and only one con, which I will get to. It's well constructed with almost zero flex and no squishiness in the middle. It sounds amazing and deeply thocky. It has a gorgeous Kanagawa design with the theme on the front and back. The layout is great and I can type very fast on it. Also, the price is incredibly low for the level of quality you get. The "meh" are the screen (which really doesn't serve any purpose). You can put GIFs on it if you like. It otherwise just shows the settings, but that's not necessary either. The software to power the LEDs is also rather lackluster and I would have preferred compatibility with SignalRGB or the like. Now for the big con: south-facing LEDs. I don't know who ever thought this was a good idea, but all they do is blind the user and make any kind of glowing legends useless. It doesn't matter what kind of lighting you use with it if it's just shining directly at your face from the bottom of the keys. I still use the keyboard for all the good qualities, but am looking for something to replace it. In the meantime I have disabled the RGB, which just means it's going to waste. If you're a touch-typist or have a very well-lit desk, you'll likely be okay with it. I've also seen some people say there are ways to put tape on it to help with that, and I may have to resort to that, and again it seems like a problem that didn't need to exist in the first place. But since everything else about the keyboard is so good, I'll give it 4 stars. Read more

Very nice keyboard, feels really good to use, pretty light, very stable, very nice clean clicky sound from the keys, but not too loud. I use this keyboard for gaming, and it has held up very well. Read more
