Review on Mechanical Keyboard Aluminum Wireless Hot Swappable by Monique Ahn

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I can't believe how much more you get over the standard RK61

. Arguably the best keyboard I've ever had. With so many options, especially with the huge increase in hot-swappable boards, I had a hard time choosing a mechanical keyboard with confidence. For the price, this board looks like an absolute steal. This is the first aluminum keyboard I've owned and it feels very solid. This article will definitely stay on my desk. RGB is very bright with a range of built-in modes. The lighting faces north, so keep that in mind if you're looking to replace keycaps. The standard PBT keycaps are an upgrade of the standard ABS keys and they sound and feel good. The Gateron is also an update with the professional model. I didn't really care since I was planning on swapping out the switches right away, but Gaterons are probably more reliable than branded RKs. I think my favorite thing about this board, which is still the standard model, is the feature level. Getting the arrow keys to 60% is a dream come true. My only real issue was that although the anti-roll bars were lubed at the factory, it was a pretty sloppy job. The standard RK61 is everyone's favorite board at an already insanely affordable price. The additional features added to the Pro model make a good board great for only $20. If you're looking for a 60% hot-swappable keyboard, you'll be hard pressed to find a better option than this.
