Review on EXCLUSIVE: FIRSTBLOOD Game Only AK510 Retro Mechanical Gaming Keyboard - PBT SP Spherical Keycaps - Classic Grey-White Matching - RGB Backlight - Brown Switches by Danierl Temple

Since someone based their purchase on this review and regretted it, please be aware that this was my first experience with a mechanical keyboard. So my rating stands on that :) I specifically wanted the loudest, most satisfying mechanical keyboard I could get my hands on. Boy did I get what I paid for This is the loudest key set I've ever had the privilege of typing. I have fairly large hands, so most keyboards are uncomfortable to use. Most of the time I'm wrong about 50% of the words I type, and most of the time it's almost impossible to avoid hitting two or more keys at the same time. However, this keyboard is very accurate, especially since it's mechanical, so you don't have to fully press the keys to activate the switch. The keys are large, widely spaced, and offer noticeable and comfortable padding, significantly more than the tracking keys (Numpad 5, F, J). The build quality is excellent. It's very heavy so there's no chance of it moving. All individual parts are very well made, including the rear legs used for tilting (rubberized and strong). I was apprehensive about buying a plastic keyboard again, but damn this thing is solid. Very thick molding so I couldn't bend or warp it even if I tried. The design is just fantastic. I can't overdo it. This is an absolutely perfect spot between retro and modern. It's almost a work of art. Great Aesthetics. This keyboard features true RGB, with each key individually programmable for a decent number of colors, and also offers many common effects such as breathing, rain, rainbow, touch display, stripes, blinking, solid color, etc. I'm too stupid. The decals are die cut and transparent so they won't wear off or fade. The product includes a key removal tool and a few manuals. Due to errors in these keys, some unbranded MX Blues are used. I have never used the official MX Blue [Update May 26, 2021: now. I'm sure some mechanical purists will raise eyebrows, but I'm not impressed. I quite prefer it] so I'm wondering if it's ready. They are pretty loose and swing a lot. The keys are quite far apart, so this problem is eliminated. Also, these keys are quite "heavy". Each key requires a significant amount of force, more than any other keyboard I've ever used. Because of these issues, I wouldn't call it a gaming keyboard, but it can be done with a learning curve. Again, it's *heavy*, so if you prefer to just move the keyboard around and adjust it to the angles you want, this keyboard will be tiresome. Some might also call it a design flaw, but the buttons also reflect that tinny Boeing. It's a pretty loud noise. UPDATE January 19, 2021: A remorseful buyer says he came to the right conclusion: the board is hung too high. Pretty bulky thing in height. It doesn't bother me much. I prefer the tilt and don't like resting my wrists on anything while typing, let alone a table. It's a lot more like a legacy keyboard in that regard (which, honestly, is an issue). I also noticed some aberration in RGB lighting; it's not exactly consistent. Some individual nodes are comparatively undercolored or perhaps darker than others. It's almost imperceptible unless you're looking closely at the board, although it's much more noticeable on the white-backlit RGB setting. Placebo maybe, but it seems to me that the RGB lighting has degenerated a bit over time, developing a clear disparity with the decorative lighting on each side (which is of course diffused by translucent plastic, but still doesn't produce the same hues ). ). color, like the keys).
