Unbeatable Price: PC

This is an incredible price for a quality hot swappable keyboard. The case is very solid with no flex and feels premium. As far as I know the stabilizers have been updated since these keyboards were introduced. I wish I could upload a typing noise test because the strokes sound fantastic with Krytox 205g0 lube (the stings are factory lubricated but the lube doesn't work optimally). I oiled and filmed the milky yellow Gateron switches on this board with Akko Neon doubleshot PBT cherry profile…

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • No paint required

Great homemade case - gaming keyboards

I connected the keyless board to greased brown Gateron switches and trimmed the keyboard with tape. Stabilizers snap into place well, but screwing them in would be better, although there are no screw holes on the circuit board. The board has a good weight and sound, I tried putting more foam in it but it didn't fit 1/8" so try very thin boards if you want to put more. It comes with foam already, although it isn't required. The software is good for what it is and you never need to fiddle with it

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • Something different

I definitely didn't like this keyboard even after all the mods I could think of. Sounds terrible, it's better to dip the inside of the body in a bed for cushioning, as there is no place for foam. Aluminum is cheap and bad. Most importantly, the tolerance on the key switch holes is too loose. Removing the keycaps removes your switch, which is already putting a lot of strain on the hot-swap sockets. This means that if you frequently just change keycaps, you'll still end up with a busted board…

Pros
  • cool stuff
Cons
  • hard to say

Glorious is ready to take over the gaming industry

I'll keep it short and simple, Glorious makes truly premium gaming peripherals at a very competitive price. The build quality of this board is second to none. - no: the heavy housing holds the circuit board on the table and creates a good acoustic response with the switches and caps installed here. This is a great entry-level board if you're looking to delve into the world of custom mechanical keyboards. I built this keyboard using NovelKeys x Kailh Box Jades and some HyperX white keycaps. My…

Pros
  • Fingers crossed
Cons
  • Communication with seller

Great kit for a relatively cheap mechanical keyboard

The aluminum body feels and looks good, the LED backlighting for each key looks great, especially with the pudding keycaps and transparent switch housing, and overall I am very satisfied with this product and now I use it as an everyday car. There are two minor complaints, however. First of all, the stabilizers suck. I have a few quiet switches, so for the most part my typing experience is low volume and a very comfortable sound profile, but the stabilizing keys ruin it; They are loud and…

Pros
  • Impressive, boring packaging

Damned. It's REALLY that good

I came from Drop CTRL, which I thought was bee's knees due to its build quality and RGB bubbles, but I finally began to understand why people were complaining about stabilizers Drop On their boards. After just a few toggle switches and keycaps, the Backspace, Enter, Shift, and Spacebar keys felt wrong. I was new to furs at the time so I didn't really know it was that bad, I just knew it wasn't good. So I ordered some Zealios Gold Plated stabilizers, replaced them but still didn't feel good. I…

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other picks

Very good pre-lubricated blades, one came out easily

To say this is the best barebones for the price would be an understatement. Supplied with two keycaps, a switch puller and a cap remover. Along with a 4-6 foot cable I'm not sure. The braided cable is very beautiful, long and durable. Now let's talk about the keyboard itself. It has a surprisingly solid frame, good lifting clamps to tilt it and looks very nice. There are no large logos anywhere and the border is silver. Stabilizers are amazing, crazy. They are all pre-lubed which is excellent…

Pros
  • Feels good
Cons
  • Not the best
