Been using this keyboard since June 2022 with no issues. Easy to replace the keycaps (put on pudding caps for more light). The switches are easy to replace also and worth the price of the keyboard if you like silver switches.

I purchased 2 of these when they were $35, at $25 you would be a fool not to get this if you are thinking of getting a hot swappable keyboard. Use the money you save on better switches, because most people here are not going to like the silvers.

I like the keyboard but the software is finicky. It doesn't remember the lighting presets that I set up. And this is on two different machines. Pretty annoying tbh. I don't want a rainbow wave all the time.

We have at least 5 of these in our office, and with the addition of O-rings on the stems, they are plenty quiet enough for office use. And the media controls are awesome. Great value at this price. We've been running them for about a year, no issues with any of them so far.

No silver keys are speed switches with a light actuation force. I hate them because they are so sensitive and get double keys all the time.

Isn't silver switches very light and twitchy, and basically only good for fast paced games?

No they are a linear, like a cherry red, but slightly shorter keystroke length.

I've had it for a few years too. The silvers come with 8 clicky switches for you to try.

I got the blue so I have 8 silver switches. I used them for numbers 1-4 (hotkeys for Diablo or mmo games) and WASD for FPS games. These buttons get smashed the most and would benefit from fast taps (the extra "clicks" with silvers actually help). That said, they suck when typing as they're too sensitive.

I've since replaced WASD to different switches so I don't get double letters when typing.

Hey All,

Anyone had any of these "bad" experiences? I am seeing a lot of reviews mentioning cracked keys? Things like volume knob just flopping/spinning around in the direction you last adjusted it (as in up or down)?

Like several others I have one of these keyboards from an earlier deal. I swapped mine to copper switches which they used to sell replacement switch sets of. They are a tactile switch instead of the clicky or linear the keyboard comes with. I haven't had any problems with it at all. I'm tempted to order another one at this price as this is the ballpark of cheap generic brands.

Anyone also have a Roccat 121 Linear to compare? I was on the Logitech k740 for like 15 years and recently went to the Roccat 121. I like low profile keys. Anyone know how this compares to the Roccat 121? Thank you!

I've been daily driving this keyboard for a couple years now. This keyboard is fantastic! I have swapped out the the gaming keys (WASD - space bar- etc) to blue switches which is actually prefer. The RBG is limited to pre-program patterns, but I don't mind it. The other big highlight is the dedicated media buttons.
