I bought and returned this a while ago - if you look closely there's a lot of gap between each key, which I really didnt like

Gap between the key and keyboard or actually in between keys.

If the former, wouldn't that help keep dust bunnies from nesting?

If the latter, would that mess up traditional touch typist?

I need to replace my Corsair K95, as I feel my gaming keys aren't activating all the time.

Not sure if it's a switch issue or the key cap.

He means the latter. You get used to it though. I had this keyboard years back and it actually looks quite nice in person. I took me a minute to adjust to the keyboard but I was up to my normal 80-90 wpm after an hour or two of getting acclimated. Tbh, I have the Keychron Q1 Pro and the space between the keys feels even wider.

Latter. I found it a little unfamiliar and returned as a result.

Dr. Disrespect aside, if anyone wants a cheap keyboard that will last maybe 3-4 months buy it. Mine had multiple keys double and triple tapping 2 months in when I only clicked keys once. This thing is a piece of trash.

I was tempted. But after hearing how loud it is, in a video posted along with a review on Amazon, I decided to skip. I work in an office. I cannot be annoying everybody around me, including myself, with loud clicky noises.

I bought one when it was $30 a couple months ago. It's ... fine? This thing isn't worth the MSRP, but it's a fine enough keyboard for $25-30. It's not the best keyboard I've ever owned or the worst.

I haven't noticed any double or triple key issues yet, but I have seen a bunch of reviews stating that was an issue especially 6-12 months in, so it is something I'd keep in mind.

I've owned this for about a month. The gap does take some time to get used to but is fine after some use. I don't like how the LED light shows between the gap though. While the color is fine on the actually cap on the side it looks odd. It would help with removing dust though.

Also I found reviews about the caps doubling or tripling keys. I hope this is more with people spilling liquid on the key over mechanical defects in the keyboard but we will see. FWIW I have an older Gigabye keyboard that has been going strong for at least 5 years with no issues. It would be inexcusable for this to crap out after 6-12 months.

My Merc Stealth is on its last legs, I'm too cheap to buy a MK attachment and not sure I am capable/willing to do a tear down and try to refresh the Stealth. Think I may pick this up and see if I am capable of gaming on a 'normal' keyboard before I invest in a fancy one.

What he did didn't rise to a violation of the law, but it was definitely inappropriate things said to a minor.

Which was totally not a surprise after being caught cheating on his wife a few years back. EEK!

Yeah, cancel culture at its best. No court needed.

To say that a court hearing is needed to stop supporting someone who has admitted to gross conduct with a minor is beyond dumb. Let that minor be someone close to you and then come back with this stupid "cancel culture" comment.

To all SJWs in this thread, if you cannot comprehend the concept "innocent until proven guilty" that's your problem.

I read a reddit post that a lot of the issues with the keys are due to dust buildup under the keycaps. Apparently pulling them apart when they start acting up and blasting with air suppesdly resolves most of the issues. I ordered the other day, this keyboard feels unique, but definitely an upgrade from the 11 year old membrane logitech I've been using for work. I feel I'm already typing with better accuracy and speed on day 1.

Thanks for the info! I'll keep it in mind if it happens.
