Hero 84 2020 Edition Mechanical Keyboard Cherry MX Switches Mini Gaming 84 Keys Keyboard (Cherry MX Brown)

Normally I don't leave reviews for just about anything, but this keyboard merited a review. This review is my day one experience. I bought the Cherry MX Red version, and the overall build, performance, and feel of this keyboard is greatly underrated for the price. It truly feels like a keyboard that would normally be worth around $200, and not $120, so it feels like a great deal there. The base of the keyboard is heavy and weighted, so it doesn't move during intense gaming sessions. The key-caps are really comfortable, and are slightly textured so they feel more premium. Finally, the switches themselves are fantastic, with a really smooth actuation (as you would expect with Cherry MX Reds). As my first truly mechanical keyboard, I couldn't be happier. I imagine the true keyboard aficionados would have issues, but for the average PC gaming consumer, I think most would be happy with the product here for the price.

Great for work and play, looks excellent too. Only thing is it stooped responding 3 times in the past month so I had to remove the attached usb c cable and reattach it to the unit for it to 'wake up'. not a big deal but worth mentioning.

Minimum keypress latency is unacceptably high at 45ms. Even modifier keys do not have a faster path. Would not recommend for gaming. Great physical design. Putting foam inside will dampen the ping noise. Fairly easy to solder in different switches as well. Printscreen/scroll lock functionality are reversed.

This had great build quality and the keycaps with mx brown switches felt great. When I saw it in person , the color wasn’t exactly what I was going for personally but it was a great keyboard.

Now I’m not all that good at writing reviews, but this keyboard is great if you can afford it. I personally love having the F1-F12 keys lined up above the numbers. Keyboard is also very quiet!

Keyboard never worked and when it almost did it typed random characters that’s how I found the infected firmware

Just got my keyboard in. The body construct feels weighty and sturdy. The overall size is nice. It’s small compared to my Razer mini keyboard (I’m using the razer wrist rest so you can see the size difference). It’s worth mentioning that it works pretty well with linux. I haven’t had any issues thus far. My biggest gripe is the usb c female end that’s in the back of the keyboard. It is unusually hard to get the cord in the keyboard because of design reasons. The female end is surrounded by protruding plastic which makes it difficult to connect the cord. Another small gripe is that the keys have a matte finish. It’s just not something I’m used to. I’m sure it will grow on me.

Great keyboard this is my 2nd one because my cat spilled a drink on my first
