One of my favorite keyboards. Good weight to it , large buttons are fun.

A matching numpad is up for pre-order on amazon (july 15 release date).

Was torn between Fami colors and NES but grew up with Nintendo .

Only thing I was not crazy about is the cord between the small pad and the keyboard. Wish the small pad was wireless or usb c rather than 3.5 mm, 3.5 mm to 3.5 mm would have been better than built in too.

These are my favorite keyboards now. I bought one for the style, but after I started using it I fell in love with the mechanical clicky feel - and I have been using various mechanical keyboards for the last 6 years, this one just feels better than all the other keyboards I have tried.

I liked it so much on my desktop that I bought a second for my laptop, and a few spares.

The only tiny criticism I have is that I don't like how the volume knob turns, it only allows you to increase or decrees volume by 4 points at a time. A more precise calibration would have been better, but it's still handy if you need to turn down the sound quickly for a call.

I recently picked this keeby up, and I do not think it's worth the money. The switches are fine but not mindblowing; the real problem is that the board feels very cheap. Notice the grooves above the F9, F10, F11, and F12 keys? Yeah, those are not actual grooves but an image of them. For $70, you can find much better boards. I'd save my money if I were you.

Got this keyboard about a month ago and anyone in the office who stops by compliments it. It really does look good. It uses kailh white switches, so it's clicky and satisfyingly loud. Also, for anyone who ends up buying it, search google for "game controller spacebar keycap" to see a beautiful keycap that goes perfect with this keyboard. I'll try and link it here: https://kprepublic.com/cdn/shop/f...1700533972 and https://kprepublic.com/cdn/shop/f...1700533974

This is by far my favorite keyboard out of the 15 or so that I own. Everything just feels nice about it from the size, sound, design, weight, layout. First time I've recommended a keyboard and I can't say enough good things. I got the NES version but tempted to get the Famicon just to have for my iMac

Not too loud for an office? I'm in an open office space, no office space, no cubicles, just desks one next to another..

It's too loud for that. The switches are swappable though.

I bought this for $80 a few months ago. I work in a PC shop that's semi-gaming oriented, so I thought a fun NES-themed novelty keyboard for my desk would be a fun thing. It turned out to be a REALLY nice keyboard! The only thing I don't like is that the battery isn't (easily) replaceable. Since it has minimal lighting, it'd make sense to just use rechargeable AAs. Oh well, not the end of the world. I do wish it'd had a numpad…I saw that they're releasing one, but it's yet ANOTHER thing to charge up.

If I'm not mistaken, that numpad also functions as a standalone 4 function calculator .

Yeah having no 10-key is ridiculous
