Good keyboard
Nice quality, keys are nice. I did notice after about a month of use that a key kept sticking. Not sure why but it would. Other than that its a great keyboard.

An interesting keyboard.
This keyboard has strong and weak points. It's not a terrible keyboard, but it has plenty of room for improvement.To start, the linear switches feel fine. I'm pretty sure that the switches and stabs aren't lubed, so you won't get that perfect "Thocc" sound, but they feel how I want them to. None of the keys that have stabs stick down or need more pressure to press. The RGB looks quite nice and illuminates the keys, which can make it easier for people to see the keys in the dark if they can't touch type. The keyboard comes with a keycap and switch puller, which makes it easy to remove the keycaps. You have to press the tabs in on the top and the bottom to remove the switches. It took me a while to figure this out, but they will come out easily once you do this. The included red keycaps and extra switches are a little useless for this keyboard, but if you want a red spacebar or escape key, then this keyboard will let you do that. The media keys that are accessed through Fn are quite nice and I could definitely get used to them if I were to daily drive this keyboard. Being able to pause my music or change songs without having to alt tab to Spotify feels very fluid.Now, for the weak points. The indication for what the Fn key does is printed on top of the keycaps, which isn't great. This prevents the RGB from shining through it, it means it'll wear off over time, and it means that the keycaps don't feel smooth. I would highly recommend a new keycap set once you learn what all the keys do with Fn. Well, that or at least all of the functions that you're actually going to use on a daily basis.My biggest problem with this keyboard is the layout. Not having the F1-12 keys is very inconvenient for games. Take Minecraft Java Edition, for example. You will have to take your hand off of the mouse to hold the Fn key to press the F1-12 keys. This could slow down speedruns. It's also inconvenient for Apex Legends when you're trying to get an upgrade. You can't press Fn and F1 with just your left hand. This keyboard isn't really standard anyways, so I feel they could have fit an Fn key on the left side of the spacebar. The amount of versatility that this could have added would have been massive.You also can't change key binds on this keyboard. If this were a Logitech keyboard, you could make a profile for Apex Legends to change the Windows key to the Fn key. When you aren't full screened in Apex Legends, the Fn key that replaced the Windows key will return to a Windows key. This keyboard doesn't have automatic profile switching or profiles at all. You're stuck with how the keys are.The lack of arrow keys is also a dealbreaker for me, as I use them daily when I'm typing. If I see something I typed earlier that I want to change, I'll click on it, usually miss, and use the arrow keys to get to where I wanted to go. With this keyboard, I'll have to use Fn + B or M to do this. The typing experience is a lot more clunky once you have to hold keys to use keys that are on larger keyboards.Overall, I recommend this keyboard. It could use some improvement, but it's a pretty good value for a mechanical keyboard with RGB. Just know what you're getting into if you get this keyboard. The 60% layout may be perfect for you, but it isn't for me.

Not a Bad Keyboard
Right out of the box, if you've never used a 60% or anything other than a traditional keyboard, there is going to be a little bit of "getting used to it." The switches feel alright, but you won't get that premium "thock" sound if you're into custom keyboards.This is, however, a great keyboard to start with. If you like the switches, you can mod them, you can put on custom key caps, and have a custom keyboard for a reasonable price.

Broken key cap
Opened up the box and the spacebar was broken.

Great Portable Mechanical Keyboard
This is a nearly fully functional portable mechanical keyboard that is great for gaming and for those situations where desktop space is at a premium. This compact keyboard weighs approximately 1.2 pounds and feels sturdy. The keyboard is geared toward Windows but works just fine on a Mac. This is a wired keyboard that does not support a wireless connection such as Bluetooth.The keyboard comes with a spare red spacebar keycap, a spare red ESC keycap, a keycap/switch removal tool, a USB-C to USB-A cable, and three replacement switches. The keys are full size, and the red switches accept MX compatible keycaps for those wanting to customize. Most of the switches perform multiple functions which are clearly marked on the keycaps. It should be noted that the keyboard lacks the equivalent function of a standard numeric keypad. The keyboard's backlit color and brightness are easily changed through keyboard combinations. There are numerous colors and color switching effects for the backlight, or you can turn the backlight off. Personally, I found the color switching effects to be nice to watch but somewhat distracting.I especially like the tactile feedback of the red switches. I also like that the keyboard is portable and easily fits in my backpack. I plan to use this keyboard with my mini gaming computer. All in all, this is a competent portable keyboard with a lot to like. At the current price point, it is an excellent value for a portable mechanical keyboard.

Have keyboard will travel..
So this is a 60% keyboard, so it uses a lot of "fn" keys, However, you have a super compact and easy to pack and take with you for on the go gamers! Plus, it is a mechanical keyboard, and keys are replaceable as needed and since they are standard keys you can essentially, use any brand keys and replace out as needed. Even comes with a key puller too. Price is right for what you get!

compact size is perfect for portability
Packaging is average for this type of keyboard in this price range. Comes with a manual that covers all the function key options. Extra keycaps in red which happen to be shine through as well. A keycap and switch puller, and a USB-A to USB-C cable about 6ft in length and is jacketed with a very thick plastic jacket that feels durable and somewhat flexible. The chassis is plastic and feels rigid with almost no chassis flex, feels well designed and finished well. Unfortunately this chassis does not have any padding, sound deadening, or noise reducing material anywhere in site. So this sounds very hollow and way more high pitch clacky than I care for. The switches have a good weight for light actuation but feel loose and because they are not lubricated feel dry on actuation. These switches are North RGB facing. This is USB connection only which is ok but with a keyboard like this being perfect for portability it is unfortunate. The key caps are solid and shine through, the concave tops make for a natural feel to them, and they feel firm on actuation. Overall I feel this keyboard is amazing and with some added layers between the deckplate, pcb and chassis, and some nice switches that are lubricated, this could really make this a top tier keyboard for what it is.
