Review on EXCLUSIVE: FIRSTBLOOD Game Only AK510 Retro Mechanical Gaming Keyboard - PBT SP Spherical Keycaps - Classic Grey-White Matching - RGB Backlight - Brown Switches by Derek Faseworld

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Amazing on Windows - not great on Mac

I like the retro style of this keyboard, but it's not very comfortable to use with a Mac. I bought it to replace the wireless Magic Keyboard that came with my 2021 iMac, but ended up using the Magic Keyboard again because I liked the convenience of closing the screen, the "undo" function, volume control, fingerprint access, and zooming and scaling were absent. with the Apple command keys. I tried to find similar command functions that could be used on a Windows keyboard connected to a Mac system, but they just weren't there. I really wanted it all - a mechanical keyboard with retro appeal and feel. But I was immediately disappointed with the amenities, which I had to sacrifice for looks and satisfying tactile feedback from the buttons. I still rate the product 5 stars because it would be my first choice if I had a Windows based system. Retro style with updated rainbow lighting is cool! It's also a pleasure to tap on. If I were to buy it again I would prefer the clicky blue version to the quieter brown version. It shouldn't be advertised as Mac compatible because it really isn't. You lose too many features - using it on a Mac is tantamount to using the keyboard as a typewriter, sacrificing all the smart features that make the Magic Keyboard great (but only for Mac users - for the Windows desktop, this is the ONLY keyboard ). I would use...!). I want this brand to make a version for Mac. Add control buttons, volume controls, screensavers and Mac drivers - I'll be the first to buy!
