> 24 hourTo start off, Im a newbie with mechanical keyboards so take everything here with a grain of salt :) After having my favorite mechanical keyboard start failing after two years and it being discontinued, I decided to try something a little more customizable and compact. This is by far my favorite layout/size balance- has most of the necessary keys, but seems like its almost half the size of my old keyboard. As far as switches go, the stock Huano browns are not bad at all. I lubed them and that definitely improved the feel and sound, but I ended up replacing them with SP-Star Magic Girl tactiles (lubed as well), which I do significantly prefer. (Side note: the fact that this keyboard is compatible with 5-pin switches gave it a major leg up on the competition- I saw VERY few at this price point.) The base is solid and hefty and Ive had no issues with sound as far as that goes. I did also replace the keycaps which I feel improved the sound. With functionality, Ive had no issues with the reduced number of keys. Everything is still accessible through the function key. No issues with ghosting during gaming and all switches have worked great the whole time Ive used them. Overall, if youre looking for a good place to start out with modding your keyboard, I think this is a solid choice. The stock switches and caps will do what you need them to, and it has great compatibility for any mods you may want to do. I would buy this keyboard again if they had more color options.

> 24 hourThis one’s tricky. I love it, but it’s tricky. It’s amazing to use — unlike so many affordable/entry-level keyboards which have a bit of a hollow or rattly sound to them, this sounds great right out of the box. I swapped in some thicker-walled XDA profile keycaps to see what would happen, and suddenly it’s like I never knew what good clacky sounds were until today. The brown switches on my model are what I always expect and never get: just enough of a tactile bump to keep me interested, but not enough to distract me. There’s enough metal in here for the unit to more than hold its own against pricier keyboards like the Drop CTRL (and it’s not nearly so fussy, but this isn’t about the CTRL). That said, the layout is a little cramped for my tastes (and this is more a me thing than an issue with the product, so I’m not dropping the rating). There’s no separation whatsoever between the number pad and the main body of the keyboard, so if you’re used to TKL or full-sized boards, this is going to trip you up at first. Get this if you can deal with having your numpad mashed up against the arrow keys, you want a solid hefty board with excellent build quality, and you struggle with the acoustics of most budget boards.

> 24 hourI got this keyboard because I just got my first pc and didn’t want to spend a lot for all my needed accessories. Was also looking for a condensed keyboard that still had a number pad and separate arrow keys and this was one of the few that I had seen. The ONLY complaint that I have is that the light does not shine very well through the letters or any other key but the surrounding light still gives you enough to be able to see. Besides that, amazing quality keyboard & have not had any problems and I’ve used it for either school or gaming every day since I’ve gotten it. I got the brown switches and they’re the perfect amount of click. Came with a switch puller & a key cap puller, a replacement orange spacebar & esc key cap, and a few replacement switches. The number of RGB options is a lot and each option of lighting can be changed to every single color or the full RGB spectrum. All around a great keyboard so far and will definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a nice less expensive keyboard.

> 24 hourThis keyboard is a great starter mechanical keyboard. I love the compact layout to save the extra space on my desk. The RGB options of the keyboard seems endless. I have had so much enjoyment out of just watching the different patterns and being able to easily adjust them to my mood is great.

> 24 hourIve had about 4 different keyboards and this one is my favorite by far. This keyboard is great for gaming, its not a huge keyboard so it allows my fingers to reach the left side of the keyboard easily. Ive always had the issue of not being able to switch between the Shift key and the left Control key but this keyboard makes it very comfortable. I love the color pattern that it has around the keyboard, it also has backlit lights and keys to swap. It comes with the tools needed to change the keys as well which makes it very easy. I highly recommend this keyboard, definitely worth its value.

> 24 hourUpdate: the item was replaced and functions correctly. Must have just got a bad one? My only reason for not giving 5 stars now is because of the length of the cord, it could be longer. Unfortunately, only 1/2 the keyboard lights up and you cannot count on keys when pressed. The windows shortcut key worked when it wants to and some keys didnt work at all. Only some key shortcuts work SOMETIMES, the only one that worked always is turning on the backlight, which only lit 1/2 the keyboard. The keys for raising or lowering brightness, changing color etc. did not work. Additionally, the keyboard is plugged in via a removeable USB cable that is about 4 feet long, its just barely long enough to reach my pc. I have reached out to the seller to see if I just received a bad one and will update this review, but for now I cannot recommend this product. While this is a review of a free or reduced price product, it is an honest review of the product, no different than if I purchased the item at full price.

> 24 hourI got this keyboard for work, I like the mechanical ones and this one isnt super freaking loud. It also has a number pad on it but its more compact thank goodness. I never needed all those extra keys. The only thing that will take a bit to get used to is the delete key. You have to press FN and the del but to complete the delete but hell it might save some people lol. I recommend this and I normally use a black widow for gaming

> 24 hourI was a little skeptical because of the price but I REALLY enjoy it. They did a great job insulating it for solid thocc. Stabilizers are reasonably good. I replaced the switches with Gateron Milky Yellows and they sound and feel great, I needed a keyboard with a numpad for work but still wanted to keep it compact so this one is perfect. I have no complaints. if they made this exact keyboard without an F Row, I would be sold immediately. my ONLY nitpick is that the USB-C port is on the left of the keyboard instead of on that back, makes cable management annoying.
