Great compact keyboard with smooth switches
Really impressed with this keyboard. The red switches feel smooth and responsive, great for both gaming and typing. The compact 75% layout saves desk space but still keeps the arrow keys, which is handy. The backlight options are fun to play with and the knob is a nice extra touch for quick volume control. Solid build quality and very comfortable to use for long sessions

Awesome value for money, great moddability
I bought this keyboard not expecting much, and I've honestly been blown away so far.Out of the box, it didn't sound fantastic (very clacky and hollow sounding) but the switches felt relatively nice to type on, although they do come unlubed (the stabilisers are lubed however). The LED backlight is quite nice, it's not addressable LEDs so if thats something you care about you may want to look elsewhere, but the colouring is nice and gives off an almost pastel colour. The case is quite easy to open, there are three clasps on the front and back holding the two pieces together so its incredibly moddable if you're into modding your keyboard, although I'm yet to figure out how to take the knob off so plate foam may be out of the question. Overall it's good straight out of the box, if a little clacky.Now onto modding (keyboard enthusiasts, this section is for you). To mod this keyboard, i added several layers of PVC tape to the underside of the motherboard, added some foam and blue tac (to emulate silicone) in the case itself, and lubed the switches since they are 100% hot swappable, although some of the hot swap sockets are rather tight so they required a little more force. With these mods, the keyboard easily sounds like a £80 keyboard. I also added some foam to the space bar which really helped it thock. If you're after a relatively cheap keyboard thats easy to mod, I really don't think you can go wrong with this one. It is important to note, however, that this board only supports 3-pin switches, so you may have to clip any 5-pin switches if you wish to use them.Overall, the keyboard sounds amazing after a couple of mods, and I can imagine it would sound like an enthusiast grade keyboard with a little bit of modding and some nicer switches and keycaps. Lubing the stock switches does improve the sound greatly, but higher quality switches would definitely take it to a new level.

Reasonable mechanical keyboard
Bought this to upgrade my working from home set up - have been using a Logitech membrane-based keyboard since 2020 but as I need to write several 1000+ word reports each week having something with a bit more ‘travel’ in the keys was really desirable. This keyboard at around £20 seemed really reasonable as a first foray into a mechanical keyboard plus its design, compact, rectangular and white sets it apart from other low-cost ‘gaming’ keyboards that look all seem to be shaped like the outer armour (black, spikey) of yet another Marvel villain rather than something attractive for a home office.Pros and ConsPros:- Fast, responsive typing.- MacOS/Windows keyboard toggle a positive- Volume dial great addition, works in Teams calls.- Lots of rainbow lighting options if needed (I didn’t buy it for it but nice to have)- Nicely packaged, clear instructions in several languagesCons- As a UK user to note it is laid out like a MacBook so @/“ keys are reversed, obviously you OS software setting will work but you might miss the £ symbol for example.- the location of a few other keys are a bit tricky to get used to - arrow keys and delete aren’t where you’d fully expect so I ended up pressing ‘home’/‘insert’ a lot on first use.- it’s definitely not a ‘premium’ mechanical keyboard in use, it feels a little bit ‘lighter’ than you’d expect but for £20 that’s understandable.- lighting options seem to be commonplace on gaming keyboards these days, and it is easier with LEDs to have every colour, but a simple ‘on/off’ white/blueish backlight would have been preferable alongside needing to run through 20 options of swoops/swirling lights etc!Overall:I don’t regret this purchase which has helped improve my typing speed at home and this is a great, affordable addition to my home office.

Lovely gaming keyboard
Lovely keyboard- with nice lights. Really handy and easy to carry around, fits into a bag easily. It can be connected to laptop with USB and is easy to use. It comes with a sound control button on the keyboard. Great looking and functions well. No need to charge, just plug and use.

This is not a UK keyboard and it is NOT durable - but Amazon went above and beyond - see updates.
It arrived at the pickup point quickly and was no hassle to get. This is a really nice compact keyboard, but, be aware it's a US keboard which means several characters aren't in their usual place and, for example, getting a 'pound' sign (the usual keystrokes bring up a 'euro' sign) is quite convoluted such that it can't be used here as the keystrokes reset the page! In normal circumstances its not too much of an issue but beware before buying. I wish it had been clearer before I bought it but I was desperate so I'll live with it.September 3rd 2025 - UPDATE: Like others the keyboard has become totally erratic. Missing keystrokes and the like, the LED backlighting flickers and my 'new' pc doesn't see it sometimes. Thought it maybe a usb issue with the pc but dug out an old keyboard and proved it wasn't. I'll call Amazon but expect a 'tough' response. I will update if they refund or replace it. Sept 3rd 2025 - 2nd update. Contacted Amazon and the customer services agent was very pleasant and empathetic. She arranged a return and refund straight away. The QR code arrived whilst I was still on the phone and the goods are already on their way back. Now just awaiting the cash back on my CC.

This is Very Good
Fantastic product. Great sound and looks the part. The lights are easy to set up and it only requires a usb c cable (included) to use immediately. Virtually no lag and good enough to game on. Highly recommended!
