Excellent feeling budget 96% and a solid upgrade over my last
Genuinely the nicest prebuilt 96% at this price range. The keyboard sounds great thanks to the silicone and foam dampening inside, the screen looks great, and the knob feels smooth and nice. The keycaps although not to my visual preference are incredibly nice quality. The keyboard was heavier than I expected for a plastic case, but this is a good thing. doesn't vibrate on my desk at all while I'm typing. this is entirely free from any hollow sound, so I don't feel like I need to tape mod it, but if I did, the keyboard literally comes with a tool to open it up, so it's very mod-friendly. This is a mainstay for my desk.The linear switches are quite creamy with the keycaps that are bundled with it. I have no problem with any kind of input lag or having to double back on myself from ghosting that would otherwise hurt my WPM. The keyboard is incredibly easy to set up too, with a link to the software on the store page, and the ability to just plug it in and go if you don't wanna mess around with that. Has 3 different Bluetooth modes which allow you to connect it to 3 different devices to swap between, has a wired mode, and a wireless dongle, and appears to have a USB A port on the back, presumably a passthrough.I would highly recommend this keyboard.

Excellent.....so far
I have gone through quite a few keyboards. By that I mean trying this one and trying that one. Yes, I fell down the rabbit hole of trying to find the one that is supposedly the best. There is no BEST, but this unit comes pretty close. I chose the sky blue one. I have the tactile switches which, in my opinion, happen to be the best for me. I changed the keycaps to SA profile keys because the ones that come on the board, even though good, and I probably could have kept them on and been okay, I still prefer a taller key. So far, this is the best keyboard I have come across after simply changing out the keycaps. The switch is exceptional. The board is not loud, but you can still hear every keystroke. The little screen on it is actually pretty nice and intuitive. The only thing I can't figure out, and it probably cannot be done, is changing the time to non-military. Outside of that, it is pretty cool to see the time and other details on it. The volume knob is exceptional and very smooth. Overall, I am really liking this keyboard and at 61 years of age, to this day, this is the best keyboard........for me.

A must have for anyone looking for an amazing sounding keyboard!
When I first got a gaming PC, I figured I didn't really need a super expensive keyboard and that a cheap one that sounded "clicky" and had lights was fine enough. I also didn't want to bother with charging a wireless keyboard. However, I started to hear from YouTube videos and TikToks about "creamy" and "thocky" keyboards. I immediately started to do research, because I was obsessed with the sound. This is one of those rare purchases that I cannot stop thinking about how happy it makes me. I have absolutely no qualms with it. Here's what I love:The sound is excellent. Videos that I watched were a good indicator, but as other reviews have said, they really do not do the keyboard justice for how it actually sounds. The letters themselves are very creamy, while the function buttons (spacebar, shift, enter, backspace, etc.) have a much deeper "thocky" sound to them. If you're on the fence, at least try it and return if it's not for you.The functionality is incredible. There are a ton of lighting options that you can play with. You can mess around with them in the software on your PC. But because this keyboard has a small LCD screen, you can also change them directly on the keyboard itself. I have mine set to light up the entire keyboard cyan from whichever key I press, expanding out.Speaking of the LCD screen, you're able to upload GIFS or images to the screen, which is a really cool feature.As far as connectivity, you have every imaginable option available to you. I have my gaming rig connected via the 2.4USB wireless adapter. You can also connect up to three devices via bluetooth. And of course you can opt to hardware in.I love the the keyboard has both a USB-A and USB-C port. I am a huge advocate for technology having USB-C as an option, as it is much more convenient, provide faster transfer times, and faster charging times.Speaking of charging, the battery life on this keyboard is excellent. I seem to get about a week's worth of charge with extreme use daily.I know that the keyboard is hot swappable, meaning you can swap out the switches, which ultimately determine the sound of the keyboard, but personally, I haven't messed with that, as I love the way it sounds now.Overall, this is an excellent keyboard. If you're in the market for a wireless keyboard that sounds great, this is the best option out there! I typically don't like spending a ton of money on stuff unless I am absolutely sure of its value, and let me put your mind at ease that this keyboard is worth so much more than what the price tag shows.
