Ill update everyone in 2-3 month if it's reliable. At least it wasn't a lemon g105 from logitech that had premium cost.

I had this but returned it after a week. The armrest is too low to be useful and is made of really hard plastic. The keys have a slight wobble to them and the metallic base, while sturdy creates a weird ringing sound when typing (especially on the spacebar).

Go with a more reputable brand and save your money.

Why do you say that?

They should have added "If you like your coworkers" Especially Otemu Blues which have a rep for being extremely loud compared to other Blue switches.

While I agree with the thought, this is a $20 mechanical keyboard. $20 is a solid price point for anyone looking to jump into mechs and/or wants to try something with blue switches to see if they can handle the clicclic. For that purpose, it should be more than fine. It's likely better than other $20ish options, and outemu switches should be considered name-brand at this price point.

It can be subsequently be used as a backup kb.

Agreed. The "click clack" of a mechanical board just begs for your colleagues to hate you. Not only that, but the extra key feedback really isn't needed for office work.

Ditto - my daughter has been asking for distance learning since her brothers have these types of noise makers

I'd even say "if you like your job" as I'd assume most workplaces don't tolerate infuriating coworkers. Hell, I'm working from home and feel like my neighbor can hear the outemu blues clacking away. Now if you're the boss, however, pretty LBJ type move to flex/abuse your underlings.

In for one. Thanks for sharing.
I brought another brand with blue switches for $24 several days ago. This one seems to be the same but with different branding.

I've loaned my kids mechanical keyboards and they all wants their own now. These are priced well and hope they don't noticed the differences.

For sound, the blue switches are clicky, making high pitch sound but not too loud. I have other expensive mechanical keyboard with black switches which is much louder. The blue switches work well and make contact when you half press and hear a click. The black keys are full stoke and expect you really press hard (gaming). The brown switch is the new thing and I have yet to try.
