Review: Excellent feeling budget 96% and a solid upgrade over my last - Genuinely the nicest prebuilt 96% at this price range. The keyboard sounds great thanks to the silicone and foam dampening inside, the screen looks great, and the knob feels smooth and nice. The keycaps although not to my visual preference are incredibly nice quality. The keyboard was heavier than I expected for a plastic case, but this is a good thing. doesn't vibrate on my desk at all while I'm typing. this is entirely free from any hollow sound, so I don't feel like I need to tape mod it, but if I did, the keyboard literally comes with a tool to open it up, so it's very mod-friendly. This is a mainstay for my desk. The linear switches are quite creamy with the keycaps that are bundled with it. I have no problem with any kind of input lag or having to double back on myself from ghosting that would otherwise hurt my WPM. The keyboard is incredibly easy to set up too, with a link to the software on the store page, and the ability to just plug it in and go if you don't wanna mess around with that. Has 3 different Bluetooth modes which allow you to connect it to 3 different devices to swap between, has a wired mode, and a wireless dongle, and appears to have a USB A port on the back, presumably a passthrough. I would highly recommend this keyboard.
Review: Great design. Great functionality. 100% Recommend if it fits your general specifications. - tl;dr: I am EXTREMELY happy with this keyboard. Build? Beautiful. Sound? Amazing. Functionality? PERFECT. Price? FANTASTIC. If this keyboard fits your specifications for your desk and you happen to work with two different computers at the same time, get it ASAP. More details: Previously I had a significantly smaller RK 68 which was great for me. It was perfect for what I wanted, a small profile and clacky keyboard. Unfortunately, I spilled soda all over it and it died so I had to get a new one. Fortunately, it was this keyboard. In my search for a new keyboard I had a couple things I was looking for: - A green color way to match my set up - A nice clack to it. - A numpad attached. Clearly it's not something very specific. But during my search I came across other features that I had no idea I wanted. But this one hit pretty much what I was looking for so I decided to give it a try and boy did it blow my expectations out of the water. == Design == Pros: This keyboard looks sleek. Before, to build something like this I had considered paying my friend to build it from scratch but the colorway and the key placements are just so clean. With multifunctional keycaps, they've added the second function on the side of the keycap so you can easily see the primary and the secondary without it feeling too cluttered. The back lighting options really make it fun to customize. They give you default options you can run with and each of those options you can tweak to your liking in terms of color. The digital display seems more like a part of the design the way it links to the volume knob, rather than an after thought like some other keyboards. This provides another option for you to make the keyboard your own by letting you upload a gif to just loop by default. Cons: No complaints really, except the digital display occasionally pops off slightly, requiring you to press it back in but it hasn't become too much of an issue for me yet. Also, uploading the gif to the keyboard takes a good amount of time (something like 5 minutes) , so if they could fix that speed that would be amazing. Oh one more complaint is that it's too tall. I had to get a wrist mount just to feel comfortable typing on it. == Functionality == Pros: MAN, this keyboard is PACKED with features I never thought I would need. Aside from the aforementioned backlight customization, something that has made my life so much better is hidden behind the digital display. It's base functionality of controlling the volume of your computer works like a charm but it's when you get into the submenus that you can really see where it shines. You see, I am someone who bounces between a macbook pro for work and a windows PC for play and so I'm constantly bouncing between the two. Before, I had a mac specific keyboard and a windows specific keyboard, both occupying space on my desk. This keyboard has eliminated that need in a sleek and elegant way by allowing me to hardwire into my desktop and bluetooth to my macbook. From there, I can easily use the digital display + volume knob to switch my connection between the two. Heck, if I needed to add another couple I could. It seems like I can have up to 5 different devices connected (3 bluetooth, 1 wired, 1 wireless dongle). So if for some reason I had another device, I could easily switch between the two. You might ask yourself, but what about the difference in layout between macs and windows machines? Oh my friend, you see... THEY THOUGHT OF EVERYTHING. Through the same digital display, you can swap the layouts between the two types. I was totally fine with that until I read the manual a bit more and found you could even use a hotkey JUST for that. Remember the secondary functions of the various keys? If you look on the side of the 'A' and 'S' keys, you can see that they read 'WIN' and 'MAC' respectively. So to switch formats, all you have to do is hit 'Fn' + 'A' or 'S' to switch between the two. This really pushed my like for this keyboard to love. Cons: The only thing I can really think of is a nitpick and is possibly even already a function, I'd just have to read through the manual a bit more. It would be nice to be able to use a shortcut to bounce between the different keyboard connections like you can switch formats. == Sound and Feel == Pros: I am having a BLAST typing this review. Every keypress feels so satisfying as the switches engage and disengage making you really feel connected to the keyboard. The sound is more thocky than clacky which is extremely pleasing to my ears, especially after coming from a clackier keyboard. Cons: While this keyboard is probably 50 percent quieter than my last keyboard, it's still definitely louder than a membrane keyboard, so if you're looking for silent, this isn't what you want. But if you're looking at mechanical keyboards, then this most likely isn't you. == Price == I feel like this keyboard is well worth the 89 dollar price tag for what you get. I feel like even a couple years ago, you'd have to pay 300 bucks to someone to custom make something like this with the design options. Sure, it's not as bespoke as the true customs, but I feel like it holds up just as well. Overall, I'd give this keyboard a 'have no fear, buy away' if your needs are similar to what I've mentioned above!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must have for anyone looking for an amazing sounding keyboard!
*by L***N on July 23, 2024*

When I first got a gaming PC, I figured I didn't really need a super expensive keyboard and that a cheap one that sounded "clicky" and had lights was fine enough. I also didn't want to bother with charging a wireless keyboard. However, I started to hear from YouTube videos and TikToks about "creamy" and "thocky" keyboards. I immediately started to do research, because I was obsessed with the sound. This is one of those rare purchases that I cannot stop thinking about how happy it makes me. I have absolutely no qualms with it. Here's what I love: The sound is excellent. Videos that I watched were a good indicator, but as other reviews have said, they really do not do the keyboard justice for how it actually sounds. The letters themselves are very creamy, while the function buttons (spacebar, shift, enter, backspace, etc.) have a much deeper "thocky" sound to them. If you're on the fence, at least try it and return if it's not for you. The functionality is incredible. There are a ton of lighting options that you can play with. You can mess around with them in the software on your PC. But because this keyboard has a small LCD screen, you can also change them directly on the keyboard itself. I have mine set to light up the entire keyboard cyan from whichever key I press, expanding out. Speaking of the LCD screen, you're able to upload GIFS or images to the screen, which is a really cool feature. As far as connectivity, you have every imaginable option available to you. I have my gaming rig connected via the 2.4USB wireless adapter. You can also connect up to three devices via bluetooth. And of course you can opt to hardware in. I love the the keyboard has both a USB-A and USB-C port. I am a huge advocate for technology having USB-C as an option, as it is much more convenient, provide faster transfer times, and faster charging times. Speaking of charging, the battery life on this keyboard is excellent. I seem to get about a week's worth of charge with extreme use daily. I know that the keyboard is hot swappable, meaning you can swap out the switches, which ultimately determine the sound of the keyboard, but personally, I haven't messed with that, as I love the way it sounds now. Overall, this is an excellent keyboard. If you're in the market for a wireless keyboard that sounds great, this is the best option out there! I typically don't like spending a ton of money on stuff unless I am absolutely sure of its value, and let me put your mind at ease that this keyboard is worth so much more than what the price tag shows.
