How can a keyboard be so bad?

This keyboard is just terrible. And this is coming from a person who has used a Chinese keyboard before. However, let's start with an open mind. The first impression is a good, heavy, beautiful keyboard. feels strong; but don't let the weight fool you. The legs give it nice tilt, but if you tap too hard with that perfect tilt, you'll lose it when the force you're tapping with causes it to break. I dropped my Hyperx Cloud 2 on it from about 6 inches when I was about to do something and sure enough my left leg was broken when I got back. I picked up the headset and the keyboard re-tiled. Curious as to why the heck my new keyboard was trying to fly, I turned it over to find a broken leg on one side, like it had been thrown in front of a semi truck. Not really sure how a lightweight headset, probably around 400-500 grams, broke, but it did. Next is typing. Poorly. Good click, but uneven travel due to loose keycaps that move as you type. You'd be surprised if you turned it upside down and the keycaps didn't fall off. For example, if I really cared, I'd literally glue all the keycaps onto the switches because it's awful. It's so damn hard to understand how the heck this keyboard sells to gamers because I can't play any games including minesweeper without my fingers slipping off like the keyboard is ice and we're not even talking about locking the keycap grab what we're talking about the movement of the keycap on the switches in normal use. THIS IS BAD. This keyboard is literally awful and I will be buying a competitor's keyboard in the coming days. When you buy this keyboard you are throwing away precision, sharpness and a tight key feel, for what? Waterproof? I paid $80 for this keyboard but now it's on sale for $111. Do yourself a favor and buy something else because this keyboard is so awful and I wouldn't spend more than $20 on it.

Pros
  • This is great
Cons
  • I'll write back later
