FIND SOMETHING DIFFERENT

OCTOBER 2019 I'm so upset that I bought this and I already have to start looking for a new keyboard. Now the spacebar doesn't work 2/3 times and for the enter key to work I literally have to squeeze it. I literally can't even play properly, and typing for work takes a lot longer than it should. This was the most disappointing purchase I've made in years. SEPTEMBER 2019 A little over two months later (and to be honest I'm writing late these weeks) and I have keys that sometimes don't get entered. In fact, within a week or two of use, I first noticed that the "L" key sometimes wouldn't respond. I ignored it and hoped it would go away after a while. Shortly thereafter, the Enter key and the left shift key also do not type correctly. I have to press them unusually hard for them to type anything at all. As someone who uses this keyboard for typing for work and serious gaming, even after less than 3 months of use, this keyboard has become an instant waste. I'm very disappointed because I really loved this keyboard and thought it was perfect, but because of this I have to go back too many times in my work and can't rely on it for gaming. I gave it two stars because it might not be a big problem for regular users and might be overlooked. ORIGINAL REVIEW JULY. In 2019 I bought the brown version of the TKL switch. I'll also mention that I paired it with HyperX dual keycaps. First, I have to type all day at work. One little thing I personally appreciate is that the caps lock key and window lock indicator are easily visible in my peripheral vision when I launch them, since they're right above the arrow keys. - It is definitely much quieter, with a deeper impact sound. , and that with my Red Dragon keyboard with key dampers. It's beautiful and fully customizable. There are pattern modes in the lighting modes and they are all really cool. Something I would like to add is that while there is no on/off switch or anything like that, there is a mode to turn off all LEDs. I'm so impressed with this keyboard I can't recommend it highly enough, especially for the price. Thank you Tekver
