Wired Mechanical Gaming Keyboard with Blue Switches - USB Metal PC Gaming Keyboard with White LED Backlit for Computer Gamers (Black) - Perfect for Esports, Typing & Office Work

It's only been a few days, but I thought I'd try out a mechanical keyboard since I have been having so many issues with conventional keyboards lately causing me way too many keystroke issues and typos, for whatever reason. So, I bought the one in blue and it's really pretty. It's compact, yet I feel perfectly comfortable typing with it. I love the sounds of the keys and even though I am not a professional typist, I make FAR less typos with this keyboard than with others. At this price point, i plan on being very gentle with this keyboard so that it lasts a long time.It seems like it's very nice quality. I am not a gamer. So, I am only using it for typing. I keep the light off, since that would be distracting for me. If I were going to be really picky, I wish it had a backlight of just one solid color, instead of the rainbow effect, since I think we've all had our fill of "rainbows" lately, don't you think? :-)I was skeptical because of the lower price, but overall haven't had any problems. I've had it for a few months and it's held up great!I'm very glad the product had such good build quality. I wanted to get a mechanical keyboard that had a solid build and was still comfortable to type for extended periods of time. The cool thing about this keyboard is it comes with the options to replace the keyboard keys if any of them ever wear out. They all have that very solid mechanical build with the blue switch. The led has 3 options, solid blue, none or fading in and out blue. I'm currently using this with a macbook pro and everything works great, I just went into the mac settings to change some of the key functions to match the keyboard. I've been using it for league and TFT as well and have been pleasantly surprised with how nice this keyboard is. The size of the keyboard is not 100% full sized, but still gives you the ability to type very similarly.I love this keyboard! I was initially nervous to purchase this keyboard because I was afraid it wouldn't work, but I love it! The sound it makes is so satisfying and the color works great for my room! It does not change to another color besides blue, so if you're looking for that, don't purchase it. Also, make sure to check the box completely, for it comes with a cleaning brush and key removing tool. Super helpful!This keyboard is pleasant to type on with the blue switches, makes a decent clicky noise without being too loud, and doesn't show any signs of wear yet.There are a few cons with it though, most notably that the weight of the keypress seems inconsistent key to key, including the weight of the tactile bump. Another con is that the keycaps collect dust and are not the highest quality, but they're acceptable at this price.All in all, I think this was the best option for me, someone who already has a full size, decent mechanical keyboard, but needed something to maximize the space on their desk.This is a great product for the money, the lighting is great, and it has plenty of lighting modes, mine is on a breathing effect thats why it doesnt look fully lit. Build quality is amazing, 0 keyboard flex, the keys dont wiggle, the wire is high quality, and the design is great with its metal rose gold undertone, i really love it and would reccomend it to anyone who needs a small inexpensive keyboard because it really feels worth $80Awesome Keyboard been having it for a Yr now, no trouble al all!I actually bought two of these due to the pandemic and using these for home school and work for various members of the family. I will say that it's not bad for a budget mechanical keyboard. Most people will be happy with it. The MX blue clone switches are more on the crispy side and at least one member of my family likes this. I find the spring ping is pretty bad if this type of thing bothers you. On the clicky blue switch model, it's noisier than real Cherry MX, or other types of MX clones that I've tried.The layout isn't bad for a 75% keyboard. It has good navigation arrows and the usual keys. Lots of non-standard key sizes, so finding replacement keycaps could be a problem. For example, 1U Ctrl, a.25U right Shift, End, Del, Esc, and arrow keys. You can always put 1U keys in place of the 1.25U if you don't mind the gaps. Also not crazy about the fonts used for the lettering/legends.As for quality... the backlit LED is good and works well with these double-shot and don't rub off like cheaper printed keycaps. The keyboard does feel very light but sturdy without flex. It would've made a great travel keyboard if it had Bluetooth. The replaceable cable is an outdated USB mini connector but at least it's more durable than micro USB. The only issue is that because the board is so light there’s a of vibration ping sounds if you are a heavy typer. This is typical of budget keyboards.It's a good buy for the value if you're looking to spend $50 or less and want a full F1-F12 row while keeping the keyboard small. Just a tad bigger, I would recommend the Red Dragon 552 instead because of more standardized key sizes and layout. Other options are the E-Element Z-88 which has similar construction but standard key layout and swappable switches for $10 more.I hope it will last very long but after 2 days of intensive work with it (I'm a software developer) I must say it is perfect for me. Very well designed and built. Nice feeling (if you're into blue switches) and perfect size!I really recommend it.Regarding mac osx, some functions are not supported right away but with the help of Karabiner Elements you can get everything just working fine.Love everything about the keyboard, with one small exception. The colour in some of the photos makes it look like the blue lighting reflects a cyan tone. However, in actuality the lighting is closer to royal blue. I still really like the keyboard and have decided to keep it but now I have to compromise my plans to set up a white-cyan themed computer station. Luckily my Logitech G203 mouse is colour adjustable so it can easily match.If you are (like me) used to having a long right shift key that covers the whole space under the enter key you will have a lot typos especially if you are coding. I pressed the up arrow key countless times instead of the shift key. I should have paid for attention to the layout. Lesson learned. Everything works fine with otherwise.It works decent enough to get things done. I bought it to make more space on my desk. It’s not the best for gaming to be honest. I wouldn’t even consider it a gaming keyboard, rather a normal everyday keyboard.
