Only downside is the visibility of keys. Speaking from 15 years of keyboard connoisseur taste. I'll wait for a better color version to purchase

I waited for months until the C64 version rolled around on a deal. Finally it did and I bought it - honestly just for fun, I wasn't expecting it to match up to some of my more expensive boards but I was hugely surprised - it's pretty much my favourite kb to type on now.
Definitely will get another. No use for the huge buttons though..

I was so impressed by the c64 version of this keyboard that I decided to pull the trigger. I see the reviews saying the RGB backlight makes the keys hard to read, but even just for the chassis and the switches this is a pretty great deal. I swap the keycaps on most of my mechanical keyboards and I can do the same with this if the stock ones aren't readable enough.

With the back lights on I couldn't read what the keys say . If you know where the keys are it may not be a problem for you..I ended up buying the gravastar mercury v60 Much better keyboard and love the lighting

Anyone have experience with these Kailh Jellyfish Pro switches vs. the switches on the other 8BitDo keyboards? I loved the feel of the Famicom version's Box Whites, but eventually had to swap them out with something quieter...

That could be a bit annoying, but a non-issue for touch typists.
