Well made and very responsive

Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2021

Verified Purchase

Despite being considered a "budget" keyboard during my research this keyboard is very well made and feels great. Love that you can use most of the features and adjust the lighting without the need for any special software. I would highly recommend this keyboard to anyone looking for a reasonably price mechanical keyboard. I just want to mention two things you should keep in mind if you are considering this keyboard. First is noise, despite not being a "clicky" keyboard it is far from quiet. It is noticeably louder than a traditional membrane keyboard. The noise doesn't come from the switches in the keys but rather the keys hitting the bottom of their travel. If you are gentle or just lightly tap the keys you can avoid this. But since the keys offer little resistance, unless you are REALLY trying to avoid the keys bottoming out, they will. I actually have grown accustomed to it and found myself not minding the noise at all despite being rather easily annoyed by noises. The second thing to consider is that, as mentioned in the last point, the keys are VERY sensitive and offer basically no resistance. Even slightly depressing a key by resting you finger on it can cause it to register a press. For some this maybe a problem but once I got used to it, it hasn't caused any issues.

Excellent keyboard

Reviewed in the United States on July 11, 2020

Verified Purchase

I have been taking my time in looking for a new keyboard, and I decided to stick to the Cooler Master family. I have used a Cooler Master Quickfire Pro since about 2013, and it still works perfectly to date, however I decided it was time to finally get a new keyboard (and Mouse).

This keyboard is excellent to type on, has a noticeable key click, but its not *too* loud, since they are red switches. Blue switches are too loud in my opinion, especially when you are trying to talk to people through discord or something.

The materials used feel premium. It has minimal deck flex when "twisting" the board at its sides, and none while pressing down on the middle of the board. The keys themselves feel nice to the touch. The space bar is a little "hallow" sounding, but it isn't too noticeable in day to day use.

I am very pleased with this keyboard. I hope to use it for years to come.

The software is excellent and easy to use. lots of customization and looks well put together.

An attractive and functional keyboard

Reviewed in the United States on January 29, 2020

Verified Purchase

First of all, I am not a gamer; I got the keyboard because the membrane-type keyboard I have been using (that came with my computer) has been getting flakey, and this one was on sale in one of the "hot deal" sites I follow. Based on the positive reviews and decent price ($49.99 with coupon), I decided to buy it.

I like it very much! It's the first keyboard I've had in a very long time that has actual key switches. I like the illuminated keys, although I'm not really making full use of all the fancy lighting patterns that are available. It's taking me a little time to adjust to the keyboard since it has a lighter touch than my old keyboard. One thing I have noticed is that a key will sometimes actuate if I am just resting my fingers on the keys; you don't have to press down all the way for the key to register.

There is only one thing about the keyboard that bugs me a little; the top row (numbers and symbols) has the shifted and unshifted legends reversed from what you would expect them to be. Take a look at the screen shots for the product and you will see what I mean. I don't know why they did this, but it is only distracting if I look at the keys when I'm typing. Normally I remember when I need to press shift for a particular symbol.

Great mechanical keyboard for people making the switch from membrane

Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2021

Verified Purchase

I've been using a membrane keyboard since 2011 (Sidewinder x4) because every mechanical keyboard I've used has felt like cheap crap. The combination of a solid aluminum top plate and the Gateron reds is a really nice alternative. I first tried out these switches on a friend's GMMK, but since the full size was out of stock, I bought this instead - and I feel the user experience is similar enough that I don't want the GMMK anymore.

The reds aren't tactile, they are linear - so no weird click when you press them. They do "clack" a bit, but this is just from the keycap bottoming out on the switch. This can be mitigated with an O-ring kit, which I ordered to decrease the level of noise a bit, but haven't gotten yet.

The lack of dedicated media control buttons was a bit odd, but there's an FN key combination for everything.

The only thing I DON'T like is that the actuation force required for the reds is so minimal that I tend to accidentally strafe while gaming, but this is just an acclimation thing - I'm used to smashing a membrane into a PCB. I imagine it'll become more intuitive with time.

This is my first mechanical keyboard. And I ended up with it because it was on some consumer list for the best budget mechanical keyboard. I say this because I don't know how it stacks up to other mechanical keyboards, but I know I love this one.

It just feels good to type on, and the sound is very satisfying. it's also nice to know that it's something durable that will last a while.

I know it's a common thing for gamers to buy. I do game but it'll take more than a keyboard to make me any good so I can't speak to that except to say it's not giving me any problems there.

Lastly is the LED functions. I'm not big on LED stuff usually. But this has some more subtle options that only trigger when typing, and I find I actually quite like it! And there's quite a few options, so probably it can do something that fits your aesthetic preferences, or you can just turn it off. I also like that it's controlled by keyboard combinations, instead of some piece of software.

Reviewed in Canada on February 9, 2021

My only complaint is the software isn't as user friendly as it could be. And a detachable cable would be nice. But overall I'm pretty satisfied. The lighting is vibrant and consistent.

Been using 2 months as of this writing.

Update: 5 months after purchase and the D key has worn away. I expect the rest of the WASD keys will follow. So eventually you'll probably want some replacement keycaps.
