Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great keyboard for the price, instructions are a bit missing

This keyboard is great and works great for its specific niches (2.4Ghz wireless, mechanical, RGB). The backlighting of all keys is excellent and the pre-programmed patterns are very good and have many different configurations. Speed and brightness are adjustable, as well as various patterns such as waves, puffs and solid colors. The wireless range is about 15 feet and doesn't incur any noticeable latency unless you move too far from the receiver or the battery drains too much. Outemu switches are brown on my particular board and better than I expected. They don't activate too early and the tactile impact is noticeable and not overly exaggerated. My only minor issue with the switches is that the keycap stability isn't as good as I had hoped, causing the keycaps to wobble a bit. It's not too big a problem, but worth mentioning nonetheless. The battery life for my personal board is good so far. I've been using it for about a week with the lights on and only had to plug it in once after the first charge. The board has an indicator on the spacebar that uses the LED on the switch. This is where my big issue with this keyboard comes in. In the box you receive there are instructions that say you need to plug it in after you receive it and doesn't explain to you that the light on the board never comes on, it just turns on and off in order to To inform you whether it gets battery powered or not. I was under the impression that I had a faulty unit until I just plugged in the receiver and waited for the charge to discharge and found out about that particular part. The software on the company's website also looks a bit sketchy, so I haven't and won't install it to see what it looks like. Overall I really like this keyboard and I think it's a steal for the price.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • boring packaging
