Review: Excellent Keyboard With Minor Software Issues - This is my first mechanical keyboard, and I finally understand what all the hype is about. The sound is incredibly satisfying. It has that nice mechanical sound without being overly loud or obnoxious, but it also isn't so quiet that you lose the satisfying typing experience. The typing feel is probably my favorite part—the keys feel incredibly smooth and satisfying, and so far everything has felt flawless. The build quality is also really impressive for the price. It has some nice weight to it and doesn't feel cheap or flimsy at all. The smart display is a fun addition. Is it necessary? Absolutely not. 😂 But it's definitely nice to have. You can use it for things like Bluetooth connection and volume settings, and you can also customize it with your own photo or GIF. The one area that could definitely be improved is the software. It's not particularly user-friendly, and finding the correct software to customize the keyboard took me longer than it should have. Once I actually found it, though, it wasn't too difficult to figure out with a little patience. The software itself also feels a little chunky and dated. That said, this has zero effect on the actual performance of the keyboard, so it's a very minor complaint. I've had absolutely no issues with wireless connectivity. I've used both Bluetooth and the included cable and haven't experienced any disconnections, lag, or other problems. One thing to note is that you'll need to use the included cable when connecting the keyboard to the software for customization. The battery life has also been surprisingly good so far. I haven't actually had to charge it yet, so I can't speak to the full battery life, but I work from home about 9 hours a day and also casually game in the evenings. After two days of that, the battery has only dropped about 5%. Overall, I have very little negative to say about this keyboard. The software could definitely use some improvement, and there could be better information provided about where to find and how to use it. But that's a very small complaint compared to everything else this keyboard does well. For my first mechanical keyboard, I'm extremely happy with it. Everything about it has exceeded my expectations. 5/5 and definitely recommend!
Review: Great design. Great functionality. 100% Recommend if it fits your general specifications. - tl;dr: I am EXTREMELY happy with this keyboard. Build? Beautiful. Sound? Amazing. Functionality? PERFECT. Price? FANTASTIC. If this keyboard fits your specifications for your desk and you happen to work with two different computers at the same time, get it ASAP. More details: Previously I had a significantly smaller RK 68 which was great for me. It was perfect for what I wanted, a small profile and clacky keyboard. Unfortunately, I spilled soda all over it and it died so I had to get a new one. Fortunately, it was this keyboard. In my search for a new keyboard I had a couple things I was looking for: - A green color way to match my set up - A nice clack to it. - A numpad attached. Clearly it's not something very specific. But during my search I came across other features that I had no idea I wanted. But this one hit pretty much what I was looking for so I decided to give it a try and boy did it blow my expectations out of the water. == Design == Pros: This keyboard looks sleek. Before, to build something like this I had considered paying my friend to build it from scratch but the colorway and the key placements are just so clean. With multifunctional keycaps, they've added the second function on the side of the keycap so you can easily see the primary and the secondary without it feeling too cluttered. The back lighting options really make it fun to customize. They give you default options you can run with and each of those options you can tweak to your liking in terms of color. The digital display seems more like a part of the design the way it links to the volume knob, rather than an after thought like some other keyboards. This provides another option for you to make the keyboard your own by letting you upload a gif to just loop by default. Cons: No complaints really, except the digital display occasionally pops off slightly, requiring you to press it back in but it hasn't become too much of an issue for me yet. Also, uploading the gif to the keyboard takes a good amount of time (something like 5 minutes) , so if they could fix that speed that would be amazing. Oh one more complaint is that it's too tall. I had to get a wrist mount just to feel comfortable typing on it. == Functionality == Pros: MAN, this keyboard is PACKED with features I never thought I would need. Aside from the aforementioned backlight customization, something that has made my life so much better is hidden behind the digital display. It's base functionality of controlling the volume of your computer works like a charm but it's when you get into the submenus that you can really see where it shines. You see, I am someone who bounces between a macbook pro for work and a windows PC for play and so I'm constantly bouncing between the two. Before, I had a mac specific keyboard and a windows specific keyboard, both occupying space on my desk. This keyboard has eliminated that need in a sleek and elegant way by allowing me to hardwire into my desktop and bluetooth to my macbook. From there, I can easily use the digital display + volume knob to switch my connection between the two. Heck, if I needed to add another couple I could. It seems like I can have up to 5 different devices connected (3 bluetooth, 1 wired, 1 wireless dongle). So if for some reason I had another device, I could easily switch between the two. You might ask yourself, but what about the difference in layout between macs and windows machines? Oh my friend, you see... THEY THOUGHT OF EVERYTHING. Through the same digital display, you can swap the layouts between the two types. I was totally fine with that until I read the manual a bit more and found you could even use a hotkey JUST for that. Remember the secondary functions of the various keys? If you look on the side of the 'A' and 'S' keys, you can see that they read 'WIN' and 'MAC' respectively. So to switch formats, all you have to do is hit 'Fn' + 'A' or 'S' to switch between the two. This really pushed my like for this keyboard to love. Cons: The only thing I can really think of is a nitpick and is possibly even already a function, I'd just have to read through the manual a bit more. It would be nice to be able to use a shortcut to bounce between the different keyboard connections like you can switch formats. == Sound and Feel == Pros: I am having a BLAST typing this review. Every keypress feels so satisfying as the switches engage and disengage making you really feel connected to the keyboard. The sound is more thocky than clacky which is extremely pleasing to my ears, especially after coming from a clackier keyboard. Cons: While this keyboard is probably 50 percent quieter than my last keyboard, it's still definitely louder than a membrane keyboard, so if you're looking for silent, this isn't what you want. But if you're looking at mechanical keyboards, then this most likely isn't you. == Price == I feel like this keyboard is well worth the 89 dollar price tag for what you get. I feel like even a couple years ago, you'd have to pay 300 bucks to someone to custom make something like this with the design options. Sure, it's not as bespoke as the true customs, but I feel like it holds up just as well. Overall, I'd give this keyboard a 'have no fear, buy away' if your needs are similar to what I've mentioned above!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ All the mechanical keyboard I need
*by B***E on July 29, 2026*

First mechanical keyboard I’ve owned, can’t imagine I’d need anything different. Bought two of these, one for my workspace and one for my wife. We both needed accurate and responsive keys for frequent data and password entry, the lights and display are just bonus points. I change out my display for random gifs and RGB weekly using the web portal, easy enough once you get the hang of it, takes 5-10 minutes to upload a gif. Can confirm battery lasts about a week with moderate workday use. Keys are on the quieter end of clacky, not as obnoxious as some mechanical keyboards I’ve used in the past. Key travel registers about 75% from fully depressed which took me a tiny bit of time to adapt to. More often now, I’ll think I missed a letter because I didn’t press quite hard enough, but look back to find it registered after all. Comes with a few replacement switches, key puller, and usb-c cable which is nice. I’m sure there is better quality for more money out there but I’m not the demographic for it, this is all the keyboard I think I’ll ever need.
