Greater than one weekKeyboard preferences are very personal. Theres key travel, key resistance, key spacing, keyboard angle, key size and so many more factors that can keep one person happy and another ready to move on. Telling you this keyboard is just for you is like telling you the temperature of my shower water is ideally suited for you too. Youre going to have to decide. Ive used the same gaming keyboard(s) as my everyday keyboard for about 20 years. Its a classic Deck (The red one in the attached photos ). Im not a gamer; I just like the size and feel of a good gaming keyboard for everyday use. The Deck is my standard. I evaluated another gaming keyboard about a month ago and came to like it very much. I like its angle, and key travel and that-difficult-to-describe feel. Its the green/black one in my photos. The only thing I didnt like was its slightly reduced key spacing. This Eksa keyboard (the orange/black one in my photos), like the other two, is very solidly built. Theres nothing flimsy about it. Its got good heft. It stays still on my desk. Its key spacing and key size are full size, like the Decks. I like that. The keys have a positive click associated with contact. The one thing Im not sure if I like yet is the very short key travel. My Decks got Cherry reds and their travel is deeper. I can understand a serious gamer wanting minimal travel. For me it will take some getting used to (not to say I wouldnt). Features on the keyboard include all sorts of lighting effects, a very well placed volume control, and provisions for USB connectivity, or wireless/Bluetooth. For the detached options it has a rechargeable battery onboard. This is all good design. I like the versatility. I agree with the product description that this keyboard is so low profile that no wrist rest is needed. Its quite comfortable to use. Also, there are two angle settings (up, and down). Two of my photos show these two settings, and in contrast with the other two keyboards I like. Bottom line: its well built, and it has some very useful features. Will it suit you? I dont know. Youll have to try it yourself. I do recommend you try if you like the feel and utility of a well designed gamer keyboard.

> 3 dayProbably a great choice if you still want the feel of a mechanical keyboard in something with a much more portable profile. Volume control is convenient, but not the greatest in terms of tactile feel. Nice overall styling and decent battery life.

> 3 dayThis is a good option if you are looking for a very thin, light, reduced layout mechanical keyboard. The small footprint of this keyboard is great for ergonomics and portability. It is not only a smaller size as far as layout goes, but the low profile means that your fingers will do much less work to press each key. This keyboard uses linear red switches, which means very smooth keystrokes. The keys are also very stable. If the keys are not stable, when you press them, they wobble and it makes typing much less satisfying. They used good stems on the keys to make sure that the keys feel very secure when you press them. The keyboard has RGB backlighting which is controlled using FN combinations. You dont need any additional driver software installed to use the advanced functions of this keyboard. That is great, because that means that there is no need for running drivers that can cause conflicts with other software, or that hog system resources. I have to say, after using several other mechanical keyboards that operate lighting and other features with key combinations, this keyboard has the most sensible combinations I have come across. In addition, everything is labeled on the keycaps so you wont have to worry about remembering every function or having to keep the manual handy. The keyboard itself is made from an aluminum alloy, and comes with a USB-C cable with an attached holder for the 2.4Ghz receiver. I love this design choice as a lot of these wireless mechanical keyboards dont have any good storage to keep the receiver handy when you need it. It also comes with a manual. The keyboard has easy operation...it has a Windows/Mac switch and a wireless, wired switch. You can use the 2.4Ghz receiver or Bluetooth 5.0 to connect the keyboard wirelessly. You switch between wired modes with an FN combination. There is a volume slider on the top of the left side of the keyboard. The slider is not as precise as a volume knob, but it works very well for adjusting volume. This keyboard is super light. It is not plate-mounted, so it is not going to have the extra heft or stability of a plate mount, but it is going to be much lighter for it. Also, the keys will not ping, and will be even quieter. The RGB lighting actually shines through the keycaps on this mechanical keyboard, which is what I prefer for working later. The keycaps feel like ABS, but then that is likely why the lighting can shine through the keycaps. PBT keys feel better but dont work well with RGB backlighting. I love this keyboard. The only real issue I have with it is the price. For what you are getting the price seems a little high. There are some similar layout keyboards that do cost less. That said, I really like this keyboard for my mobile setup. It is so light and works so well that I think it is worth it.

31-03-2025Im surprised by how much I like this keyboard - Im typing this review on it, and its my new favorite. Its compact and solidly made. The switches are stable, so theres no wiggle in the keys like youd see with cheaper keyboards. You can connect it any way possible: bluetooth, 2.4 ghz dongle, or straight USB with the fabric USB cable. If youre into keyboards, youll understand this: its very thocky, although Im likely going to pull the switches and give them a good lube to improve the sound. I really appreciate that they included arrow keys - thats not something you usually see in 65% keyboards. The battery life is outstanding, and it has no problem lasting forever while still running non-stop light displays. Something that isnt really mentioned in the description is there is a sliding volume key on the left side of the keyboard, and Im finding myself using it way more than I would have thought. I hope this was helpful - this is a very solid keyboard that maximizes the 65% frame, and then some.

> 3 dayIn the box was… 1. One, mechanical keyboard 2. One, set of instructions 3. One, charging cable (USB C to USB A) with usb dongle and holder for the 2.4GHz connection option The packaging is like way nice. The keyboard has a good heft to it. I like the fact it has so many connection options. You can use the dongle over 2.4GHz, Bluetooth, or wired. The keys are comfortable in design. It also has a great No-Conflict design in which you push the FN + Win key and the Win key will be locked out from use so you are not disrupted during gaming. It offers a convenient volume slider on the side. It is very slim as well making this easy to pack. It utilizes red switches which sport a 50 million keystroke lifespan and the keys are solid, they do not feel loose or move when being pressed. It also has RBG light modes with a ton of options! Plus, it is all controlled via the keyboard, so no software needed or extra switches etc. The battery life claims 26hr with lights on in Bluetooth mode and 18 days with lights off. Using 2.4GHz you should see 30hr with lights on and 36 days with lights off. I have not tested this yet but regardless if you carry around a power brick or plug for the wall you will be good to go for much longer. I like this keyboard. It looks awesome, has great options and features, and most importantly is small enough for me to bring with when traveling. I plan on using this with my Samsung tablet and Steam Deck.

> 3 dayThe Eksa keyboard has worked good so far, mostly for traveling. The Gateron low profile switches take a little getting used to as they are a little shallow in stroke. They are fairly quiet but the board itself can be on the medium loud side. In an office setting or on a call this probably inst the keyboard your are looking for. but is. pretty enjoyable for using alone. There is no flex in the keyboard and all of the colors of the north facing RGB are bright. I wish there was a little more control over the side LED strip to match the keys but that is a small issue. Switching between Mac and Windows easy with the switch. The slider actually works really well and controls the volume which is really handy to have immediately accessible. I had no problem connecting the keyboard in any oof the three ways. Turning the RGB off is a good way to get a little more out of the battery but I usually use a wired setup anyway. I find it to be a lot easier that way but there was no issue using in wirelessly. The included dongle works and has a really convenient holder that attaches to the cable. The cable itself is pretty good for the price point and a fabric covered usb-c cable. This is a good travel keyboard and a general use keyboard. It is nice and compact and everything works as it should. It is a little eon the more expensive side but given that it has Gateron switches, is wireless & bluetooth, and works as it should make it a very reasonable keyboard for the price. It competes with other 3-way keyboards in the same price bracket. The metal top plate gives it a little heft and makes it feel more premium. Recommended if you need a compact travel board and like the shorter throw of the Gateron low profile switches (or want to try them).

31-03-2025The key actuation is pleasant and there are a lot of great bells and whistles here. The color scheme is bold and there are a lot of options for lighting that are fun but you can also turn the lights off and have a more subdued look. The volume and kvm like function being able to switch between connection allows for 2 device use. Win and Mac switch. Solid buy at this price.

Greater than one weekThe Mechanical Keyboard, 65% Low Profile Wireless Gaming Keyboard with Red Switch is a great mechanical keyboard. The feel of the mechanical keys is more satisfying than the newer style flat keyboards. I use a Mac and appreciate there is a simple switch to change between Mac and PC. I dont especially like the orange keys, but I knew what I was getting so no loss of a star.
