"Amazing keyboard! The typing feels super smooth and responsive, and the RGB lighting looks awesome. I love the multi connection options Bluetooth, 2.4GHz, and USB-C all work perfectly. The knob is a great bonus for volume control, and the build quality feels premium. Excellent value for the price!"

I rated a 5 so people would see this review! THIS IS A 3.5 at best.It's not a terrible keyboard. It's got some pretty creamy clicks for the first few weeks, then kind of sharpens as you break it in.I haven't noticed any serious input latency when i'm wired(no issues with plug or connectivity), but the dongle and bluetooth do not hold a connection reliably. Maybe it's not compatible with other 2.4Ghz frequiencies. Not great if you want to game wirelessly.My typing speed is rough on this keyboard. Something about it makes it less ergonomic to type on than my last red dragon. I'm going to change them out tomorrow for some cherry caps, and see if that helps. They're a bit lower profile.I purchased this one for the 10 key, up from a 60%. I didn't notice when I ordered it, but the 0 on the numpad does not span two full keys. I find muscle memory hurts my speed when trying to get numbers down quickly with it being so small, and directly next to the right arrow key.The RGB is pretty customizable when it comes to on board options. You can change the brightness, pulse type(or none), and color pretty on the fly.Actual daily use is pretty standard. The frame is made of cheaper plastic, and can flex easily if you have a heavy hand when gaming. It does not take much to make it feel like it will snap. The whole section from "qwer" down to "zxcv" depresses more than I would expect from a 60(got it on discount) dollar keyboard. The full outer section of plastic is decently thick, and feels sturdy however.If you like tall caps, this will do you well.If you have a light hand when gaming, this will do you well.This keyboard is worth 45-55 dollars. If this would be your first mechanical keyboard, you could do a lot worse. The type feel is nice. Not bad for entry level, while "feeling" a little more custom than a cheap off the shelf at a local store.richard stringfellow

I really like the size, the feel of the keys, the nice clicks they make and the backlighting. Priced right and delivered on time. I don't game and use this strictly as a standard keyboard replacement. The volume knob is a nice touch that I didn't expect to appreciate, but I've used it a couple of times now. Feels solid.james

I was genuinely impressed with this keyboard, especially the sound and feel of the keys. The creamy, satisfying click is exactly what I was hoping for—and honestly better than some much more expensive keyboards I’ve owned in the past. It feels great to type on and delivers that premium mechanical sound many enthusiasts look for. The lighting effects are also excellent, with all the customization and brightness you’d expect from a modern keyboard. Bluetooth performance has been solid as well, and I’ve had no issues using it for gaming.That said, there are a couple minor drawbacks. I personally wish I had gone with a more uniform, solid color scheme instead of the mixed board, which is more of a personal preference than a flaw. The bigger issue was the software—finding the correct drivers took more effort than it should have. Navigating the company’s website wasn’t very intuitive, and tracking down the right download proved frustrating compared to other brands. Overall though, the keyboard itself delivers where it matters most, and I’m very happy with the performance and sound.emmab490

I love this keyboard; I use it at work daily. Keyboard functionality is flawless, making it easy and comfortable to type/use. I love the color patterns; makes it look cool and fancy. Price wise, I thought was reasonable. I love the durability of the keyboard, not too bulky and not too small. I love the sound of the keyboard when you're typing.mihir deshmukh
