MAC Users READ!!!
If you are a MAC user read this. This is my new set up with an extra monitor. I love the keyboard is everything they have described. All keys work great, lights are fun, it is a satisfying sound when I type (neurodivergent). BUTTTTT —- my MacBook Pro Laptop did not recognize my keyboard when plugged and it kept asking me to select a type of Keyboard. Options where: ISO, JIS or ANSI. Instructions that worked for me: i exited the prompt. There are 2 modes in this keyboard Fn+A = Mac uses and Fn+S = Windows users. So after exiting the prompt, I clicked Fn+A and let it hold for like 3 seconds until it did something with the lights. I disconnected the USB from the laptop and reconnected it again. It WORKED. The keyboard was in default Windows mode so Mac was like “hell nah”. Switch the mode. I hope this is helpful. If it breaks down in less than 3 years. You will see my review again.

Love It
So, I was very excited to get this! I wanted a new keyboard for my office at work because the one I currently had was simpler and just not exactly what I had expected. The clickiness was not what I wanted and it also ran through batteries like crazy. This keyboard is super fun to type on and not hard to type on either. I struggled a bit more with my previous keyboard actually. The click clacks are perfect! I wish I could have attached a video. But, believe me when I say it's perfect. I chose this keyboard because of the typewriter look and sound. I also liked the fact that it was wired and I wouldn't have to keep on changing the batteries. I'm not into like gaming on a computer so I can't vouch for that , but I love my keyboard. I have to type a lot for my job and the mistakes I do make while typing are just human error. I do wish it had the lock button on the keyboard as most other keyboards do, but I just use the windows key to do just that. I like the volume knob. I do also wish it had the calculator button, but other than just the few buttons I wish it had, it's pretty great. If you're in the market for an affordable keyboard, I would say to get it. It's cute, functional, and it sounds great. I've had it for about a week and haven't had any issues. If anything changes, I'll be sure to update the review. I would have done 5 stars, but the few missing buttons I prefer knocked it down the one star.

Really happy with this
Perfectly clicky, pretty lightweight keys, very cute and comfy and I love the color patterns of the lights. Not adjustable rgb, it’s just rainbow lights but still very pretty and definitely worth it for the price especially if you snag it on sale. I’ve only used it with my steamdeck so I don’t know how well it types on a computer for instance but overall I’m very happy with this purchase. Packaged well, and a total vibe.

Absolutely Amazing
I am a sucker for the clicky keyboards. If you are looking for one this is the one for you! It sounds so good and so satisfying. Is amazing for gaming and typing. The only issue I had with it was my space bar stopped working after a couple years and some of the silver around the keys started cracking off. But other than that everything works great!

Mediocre quality, but at least it works
Came just fine, nothing seriously wrong with it. The keys have a nice clackiness to them that I enjoy, but to achieve that there seems to be little to no padding on the keys. This has resulted in numerous issues in typing that I'll address. 1: The "A" key and the "E" key both do "double presses" sometimes, where I'll press the button and it'll press it multiple times. Just writing this review using the keyboard, I've had to delete many words that had several "A"s in them despite me pressing the key only once. 2: Some of the keys on the right side of the keyboard (I've yet to figure out which ones in particular) are slow in delay, so I'll type something and the words will get mixed up because the button I pressed first takes longer to register. (For example, I type "True" and it comes out as "Treu" because the 'u' took longer to register) 3: The spacebar sometimes does not work at all, or much like the 2nd issue, will work a bit too late. All in all, the keyboard is nice, and I'd love to continue using it, but I will be returning it because the many key issues that make it near impossible to type.

Love the colors
I really do like this keyboard. The lights are beautiful and I love that you can dim and brighten them as you find fit. Not to mention is does have different light patterns to switch it up. For it to be a “typewriter” type of keyboard I do feel like it missed the aesthetic of the actual push back of an actual typewriter key and I wouldn’t say it’s mechanical either. It’s in between the two, none the less it clinks and clacks when typing and I use it daily for work. Lastly, if the keys pop off for any reason they are easy to pop back on.

Not to use near who likes silent things
It's really good looking keyboard. The only downside is it gets dirty easily. The sound it makes is perfect but can easily anger some people.After just 8 months Now the sound and light switch is not working. Do not buy this thing

Funcional y muy bonito
Me encantó, esta super bonito y me encanta que cuando escribes suena como una máquina de escribir las teclas (si no te gusta mucho el ruido o trabajas de noche si es un poco mas ruidoso que un teclado normal) prende color arcoiris y se puede regular el brillo. Yo la uso con mi tablet samsung tab s8...solo compre un adaptador para la entrada usb y funciona perfecto 👌. No se que tal vaya para jugar porque solo lo uso para escribir y también regular el volumen cuando veo videos en YouTube pero yo estoy encantada con el

खूबसूरत है 10 में से 10 नंबर वर्किंग में 10 में से 1
“In eight months, it worked for only 8 days, and after that it completely stopped working. Very poor-quality materials have been used. It is only for show—looks beautiful from the outside, but the internal components and workmanship are of a very low, cheap standard.” खूबसूरत है 10 में से 10 नंबर वर्किंग में 10 में से 1 आठ महीने में सिर्फ 8 दिन काम किया और इसके की काम करने बंद कर गए बहुत ही घटिया किस्म की क्वालिटी इस्तेमाल की गई है सिर्फ शो है इसमें देखने में खूबसूरत है वर्किंग में अंदर जो की है वो बहुत ही निचले स्तर की निचले दर के इस्तेमाल की गई है
