Review on ๐ŸŽฎ CHONCHOW RGB LED Backlit Mechanical Gaming Keyboard - Aluminum Base, 104 Keys, Anti-ghosting, Blue Switch, for Windows PC Gamers (Black) by Kim Gilbert

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great for typing

This gaming keyboard replaced my AZIO board. After a few years, some labels on the AZIO keys came off. I chose the Chonchow keyboard because I needed the properties of mechanical keys. My wife and I noticed a significant improvement in typing speed. The backlighting of the keys is adjustable. However, I cannot change the button colors. The backlight can be turned on or off, and button subsets can be turned on or off. But I want all my keys to be the same color. For example, the 4th row of keys from the top is a very distinctive green. I want to make all buttons green. It is not possible to make all buttons green. However, I prefer the Chonchow (mechanical) keyboard over the Azio keyboard (membrane keys). I should note that both keyboards have a volume control and both have a palm rest. Chonchow palm rest should be about 3/8 inch thicker to support your wrists at optimal typing height. I plan to glue a rubber pad of suitable thickness to the palm rest. In closing, I'd like to say that I really like the touch and "click" of the buttons. -- This is the most important feature for me. The backlit keyboard comes second in what I often type in dim room lighting.

Pros
  • Useful for more than its intended purpose
Cons
  • There are bugs
