    I didnt see good quality, solid disadvantages.

    In general, the keyboard is good, but not for everyone. Before buying, I strongly recommend trying it in the store (just type a dozen words to see if this shape of the keys is convenient for you). I do not recommend ating the firmware. With its pros: Very quiet low profile mechanical keys. Tactilely pleasant keyboard, looks just fine. Very easy to clean. Has some cons: The shape of the keys is not very convenient - due to the lack of some kind of obvious distinction (the keys are flat, the…

    Overall good, but expected more.

    This is my first time using a mechanical keyboard. I advise you to take only if possible, test before buying. Maybe I'm just not used to this keyboard enough, but so far I can only give 3 out of 5 for convenience. Its pros: Excellent design, compactness, quality and brightness of the backlight, backlight settings through software. Nice material and build quality. Keyboard detachable cable. Has cons: The low key travel is not that low. The height of the click is unusual, it works on 1/3 of the…

    A really necessary purchase, glad I found this product.

    About a year I wanted to buy, due to the fact that this is one of the few mechanical keyboards with a low key profile. And unlike Logitech, there is a normal arrangement of Cyrillic on the keys, and unlike Corsair, there is Cyrillic on the keys. Yes, the keys are covered with softtouch, which means that it will absorb all the sweat. But I just wipe down with alcohol-free wet wipes after almost every session. In general, the keyboard is good, the typing is pleasant, it makes no more noise than a

    Pros
    • Low profile Design Illumination and its variations Switches
    Cons
    • Cupcakes are too flat for me. Softtouch cupcake covers

    Some minuses and no pluses, do not buy.

    My acquaintance with this keyboard began on February 22, 2022. The choice fell due to the low profile of the keys, as well as the red switches, because after my typewriter (blue switches, high profile) I wanted something laptop-like and pleasantly playful. I wanted the best, but it turned out as always. The key travel was the first plus and minus of the keyboard at the same time. The keys are as quiet as possible (for mechanics; if you have used a membrane before, then do not complain about…

    Pros
    • + Weight + Detachable cable + Key travel (subjectively)
    Cons
    • - Covering keycaps - Backlight - Soft - Key stroke (subjectively)

    It is a pity that there is no version with a stand for brushes, although it is a Low-Profile, but it is noticeable that it is a bit high. The very thing who wants mechanics, but repels their bulkiness. Pros below: I was specifically looking for a low-profile keyboard with flat keys, in principle, the only one with backlighting. The rest either have bevels on the edges of the keys, or tangible indentations for the fingers, for me personally Has cons: Lack of description of interaction with the…

    Great keyboard, tall keys

    The keyboard LOOKS great and has a very nice keystroke. There are so many modes for LEDs that you'll never run out of options for something to suit your mood. It's a little tricky to just unbox the keyboard and walk away, but the instructions are clear on how to get the various options and such. My main issue with this keyboard is how tall the keys are. They're about 7/16 inches from the base of the keyboard and feel like they're spaced apart and large enough (even for my long fingers) to be A…

    Pros
    • Fits many
    Cons
    • Repair

    Great keyboard with some issues

    This keyboard is absolutely beautiful to look at. The buttons, base and backlight are visually stunning and the minimalist design looks flawless. I drooled over this keyboard until I used it. Cherry MX Red switches are responsive and feel very light and produce no tactile feedback other than pressing the bottom. This, combined with the narrow key spacing, makes this setup prone to accidental keystrokes. After my first cup of joe in the morning, this seems like a good setup, but as the day…

    Pros
    • Great selection
    Cons
    • Anything I can add

    This is really not good.

    I'll just check my writing experience and this thing will be back in the box after I write this review about it. I move at around 110-120 wpm and hit a top speed of around 140 wpm typing simple sentences. I've owned about 15 different brands of keyboards and used a dozen different types of switches. Flat keys are uncomfortable. The resistance of the keys changes drastically when you hit them off-center, while the keys don't feel smooth at all when you hit them on the edges. The keys are coated…

    Pros
    • Regular price
    Cons
    • I'll add later

    Thanks, I HATE this for keyboards, mice and accessories

    First impression: nice but cheap. not even stay in a straight line? Every other letter is a typo unless I want to type with my real nail tips - I'm an avid typist with a decent speed and it's a truly awful experience. Even the tiniest of touches are required to register the switch, making it much harder to avoid typos. maybe i can get used to it over time and don't have to return every second letter, but i'm not sure if it's worth the effort despite the 50% discount. These keyswitches feel…

    Pros
    • Quick Change
    Cons
    • Fits

    Great Keyboard: Computers and Accessories

    This is a thin and stylish keyboard with a professional look. Something you can own without making yourself look like a gamer nerd. At the moment there are some keyboards that use the new low profile Reds Cherry mx. These switches feel absolutely amazing - they're quiet and bottomless. The travel distance of the flat red switch (3.2mm) is slightly shorter than that of the traditional red switch (4mm), which makes typing smoother. If you are a mechanical keyboard lover, this keyboard would be a…

    Pros
    • Well Made
    Cons
    • Expensive Insurance

    Nice and fun to print. There is only one problem...

    The lighting is nice and I like the lighting control on the CM keyboard which makes this keyboard compatible with any operating system (I use it with Linux). The keyboard is also very comfortable, and while I'm still not sure I like the flat keycaps, they include a set of keycaps so I can switch out if I want to. The big problem is that the keyboard isn't very good. in the job he has above all - typing. Several keys are having trouble generating 0 to 3 characters per keypress. I tried to change

    Pros
    • Only positives
    Cons
    • Not sure

    Standard keys should only be concave

    I've waited so long for this keyboard to come down in price and I have a feeling it's around $60-$70. But does anyone have the standard flat keys? The package was sent quickly and already came with alternative keycaps and I have to say that I have never exchanged them for alternative ones so quickly. What everyone says about flat keys can be awkward and error-prone typing is true. Because they're all flat and grouped, you're more likely to accidentally type an extra letter. Swap them out, don't

    Pros
    • Permanent test results
    Cons
    • Questionable purchase for seniors
