Review: The best keyboard I've had yet - I don't pay a high price for keyboards. Usually I would buy a ChonChow mouse/keyboard combo since it was mechanical and under 30 dollars. This keyboard has changed the game for me though. It is still taking some getting used to on dealing with 40% of my keyboard gone, and using the arrows is a "interesting" experience to say the least, but this keyboard is making it easy! The level of customization on the colors and patterns is ridiculous. Each key can be assigned manually. I am loving it. Got it set up just the way I want it! I ended up switching out the switches inside with blue switches to get more click out of my key presses, and I just ordered some gel key caps for it as well. It has taken all the changes I've thrown at it with ease. Replaced every single switch and all the originals came out without issue. It comes with the key cap puller and the switch puller inside so you don't even have to order it. I had been throwing out my old keyboards when they died because I didn't even think to take the switches and now I was able to use them all on here! I also love the fact that the USB-C cable is long but also good material and disconnects right at the keyboard, so you can use different cords or take it off entirely for travel. The box it came in is normal but that is to be expected. Quality is GREAT. Glad I made this purchase.
Review: Amazing gaming keyboard - The keyboard is very responsive and smooth, I was sceptical at first since I haven't heard of this brand but it has been really great for gaming and the rgb lighting is the best on a keyboard I've had.

## Features

- 60% Compact, More Room to Aim - Ditching the numpad and nav cluster frees up desk space for wide mouse swipes, so your sensitivity stays low and your flicks stay accurate.
- Swap Switches Without Soldering, Smooth and Quiet - The upgraded socket accepts almost any 3-pin or 5-pin switch, and stock Red linear switches keep clicks discreet for shared spaces.
- Vibrant RGB for a True eSports Vibe - Up to 20 preset lighting modes with adjustable brightness and flow speed give your desk the glow of a dedicated gaming rig.
- Built to Outlast Daily Gaming - Switches are rated for 50 million keypresses, paired with a clean white and grey colorway that stands out from an all-black desk.
- Pro Software for Even Deeper Customization - Design your own lighting effects and program advanced macros with custom keybindings, so the board adapts to how you work or play.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sound and feel are way better than my expensive Logitech keyboard
*by C***S on May 8, 2026*

I reallly like this keyboard. The feel and sound of the keys are very nice. #1. The rgb color effects are really nice. #2. The position of the detachable USB C cable is in a good place. #3. I did notice that one key was loose so either came like that from the factory or someone happened during shipping. I pushed it back in place I hope I would have any more issues in the future.
