Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Even without through lighting, the contrast of the key lettering is very good, bold with clean printing. Pbt illuminates the clear body from beneath the plate which lends to zero hotspots and very uniform lighting. It's the first mk i have purchased w...  Read More

Great keyboard, working on macos wirelessly without issues. Wired mode works exactly how it should and bluetooth seemlessly switches between 3 devices. Ghz works flawlessly with the included dongle.

The factory lube on the gateron pro black switches is good for the most part but there are some keys which are noticeably scratchier than others. The pin-swap style blues seem to reset after a press noticeably quicker, so these also game very well for...  Read More

The only thing i am a little iffy about is that there isnt any software. It can also be clicked down, which is set to mute and unmute your windows audio by default. There's also rgb software that once understood, is really easy to get around.

The sound and feel of this keyboard is reminiscent of high end builds being showcased on youtube. Has that satisfactory sound of more expensive keyboards. The rgb is better than any prebuilt i've had.



Cons

Even when trying to turn it off, the ctrl key is lit a constant green. It seems the control key is always glowing green and i have no idea why. The rgb is random and doesn't allow for any customization unless you run very shady software.

Quality


Overall, you cannot beat the quality packed in this keyboard for a price below $100.


The quality and sound is 10x better than any prebuilt you can get on the market.


It served me well for a year but it was too noisy for me with the mx green switches.


Even with the software, the lighting mode options seem limited.

Price


While i intend to try other keycaps, i do find the stock keycaps really great.


The price is the best there is, and with the gateron yellow switches it feels and sounds great.


If this was custom it would be 4x the price.


You can replace keycaps to enable this feature but stock keycaps are awesome.

Shipping


Honestly the shipping speed was not the best but the keyboard itself is amazing!

Packaging/appearance


Shipping was fast and packaging was fantastic!


Sounds good right out of the box (i got the gateron black pro).


(end rant)a couple of other notes for people who haven't gone as far down the keyboard rabbithole: - these keycaps are not shin...  Read More


Just unscrew the two screw underneath the kickstands, pop the tabs around the back, lift from the bottom and then just unplug the cable.

Competitiveness


The blue switches in this application give some of the best positive engagement i’ve experienced for a clicky, tactile switch.


Besides the board itself, the package included a user manual, a keycap puller, and a braided usb-c to usb-a cable.


Update after a few days:the green led will actually go away when the keyboard is fully charged.


Only other 60% besides this was a drop alt, this thing blows it out of the water and it's half the price.
