5.0 out of 5 stars Good value for the money
CONS:- Knob cannot act as a dedicated volume knob. You must click the knob with FN pressed down, then the keyboard enters volume adjustment mode. Once you are done, press FN+Knob again to exit volume mode. For me this defeats the purpose of having volume knob in the first place, because most of the time I'd like to just spin the knob to quickly turn down or up my music without having to look down at my keyboard and fumble with multiple keystrokes.- The letters on the keys aren't see-through. So the backlight doesn't illuminate the keys. This might make typing at night difficult if you haven't gotten good at touch-typing. Not a big deal to me but it would be nice to have see-through keycaps.PROS:It's a good keyboard and does the job. Nice build quality. Sounds great. Nice lighting modes. Has a nice weight to it. Easy to set up. Great value for the money.Disclaimer: this is my first hour of having the keyboard. I'll come back to leave a different review if I run into any problems with connectivity or battery life. But, so far, so good.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great mechanical keyboard
A great sounding keyboard well made... The only complaint that I have and it's my preference is that the lights don't shine through the keys. But you can swap the keys. Which I did
5.0 out of 5 stars a little heavy but great keyboard.
prosi love the spacing of the arrow keys vs other compact keyboards.love the gif and the screen for settings.good soundconsyou can only have one gif on at a time. you can have a few saved in the app but you have to have it plugged into your pc to change it thought the app.heavy from what im use too with other compacts.i wish their was a lock when you pushed the know down or something that would leave it on the gif. sometimes it gets bumped and changes.over all no big cons i would but another one!
5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Keyboard
Build super well, looks and feels great.
4.0 out of 5 stars Great Keyboard, not sure if it's for me.
Looking into my first foray into a customizable mechanical keyboard. I wanted a volume knob, access to the PrintScrn, Del, Home, and End buttons I use a ton, good RGB, and a solid keyboard that had a feel that I would enjoy. After some research, this seemed like one of the best values as a prebuilt with potential for modifications later, so I could ease my way into the hobby a bit, or just end up with a solid keyboard stock.These ratings are going to be personal. So hopefully you can find out if this keyboard is for you or not.Pros:- Weighty - This keyboard has some heft. It's about the same weight as my older Corsair K95 in a much more compact for factor. It's lighter, but not much which is odd considering it takes up about 25% less desk space. Feels very solid.- This sounds amazing to me (Note: I'm coming from a Corsair K70 and K95 from 3+ years ago). Nice quiet but solid sound when pressing the keys. No major ping, not too loud, not too hollow. I'd say Thocky, but I'm still new to the space, so what's Thocky to me may not be to an expert.- Solid typing experience - No flex at all. I think it has an aluminum or steel plate. I realize this can be a con for some people, and I'll get to that later.- Stock key caps and switches are nice. The caps feel well constructed, and the switches are nice, linear, and have solid actuation. They're not quite as sensitive as the Cherry Silvers I've been using for a while, but they feel smooth and stable, so it's not been a major adjustment to get used to. I like the black and grey combo, as it's tasteful without being overbearing in my darker setup.- Nice Screen - The screen is bright, easy to read, and easy to program using their software. You can load up almost any animated GIF.- Connectivity - Supports wired, 2.4g Wireless, and up to 3 BT devices (not all at once).- The screen gives a ton of easy to understand control of the board and it's functions without needing to memorize a ton of FN options or use the software. Super use friendly stock.- The Knob - I need a knob for volume control. I was initially disappointed that it only controlled the screen, but it turns out I just missed this in the description. With a FN+Knob press, the knob goes into volume mode rather than board control mode. This was literally one of my issues with why I may not keep the keyboard, but now that's solved, so now I'm even more torn!Unsure:- I had some issues with the wireless connectivity dropping the connection and having issues with keys when it was in the back of the PC. That said, it was then near the wifi antena, had to pass though the PC case twice, as well as a full monitor, so there may just have been too much interference. Since I've moved it, I haven't had any noticable issues.- Software is very meh. It's usable, but I had to search for it to find it, and it's not super user friendly, particularly with making FN mapping which only has 1 layer, and it's not VIA compatible. That said, it's not bad, it's just meh.- Animated GIFs seem to ignore delays or only support delays up to .5 seconds (500ns?) so when I tried to make a custom GIF it's pacing was off. It also is limited to up to 141 frames, which while not a huge issue, does limit what you can do.Note: I have had some issues with the keyboard that could be because of shipping damage, so I'm not counting them so far. The wifi issue, and a few occasional key press issues, as well as it locking up once when changing between wired and wireless. The keyboard was shipped in a box 4 times the size of the keyboard box with no additional padding. Thanks Bolo! Not the product's fault.Cons:- Mode Switching - The lack of a switch means it's either hot keys or screen navigation. I really wish it had a switch. Hot key navigation also changes the screen but doesn't put you back in navigation mode, so you have to swap to the screen control, put it back where you want it, and then go back to volume mode.- No Wifi dongle holder - I mean seriously? This is pretty standard to have either a magnetic slot, or a cover where you can stash it. Absolutely nothing.- Stiff backplate means the key bottom out is harsh on your fingers. I'm finding this is a little harder to type on long term than I was expecting even with the great switches and experience because I'm bottoming out the keys and it's harsh, so my fingers are getting a bit sore. I could probably get used to that, and I'm surprised my Corsair didn't have that issue as it's all aluminum, but it could be the post trigger pressure on those Silver switches, or maybe this is just a very stiff keyboard. I thought I would like that, maybe I don't. I'd probably need a few more days with it. This is also something that could be modded, so how much of a downside it is for you may be debatable.- Screen can't be turned off manually/no sleep settings - I can't turn the screen OFF without turning the keyboard off or getting it to sleep itself. This is frustrating as the keyboard doesn't seem to sleep in wired mode, (it does in wireless modes, maybe I just haven't given it enough time in wired mode) but as someone with the keyboard in a bedroom, I like to be able to turn off as much lighting as possible, and if the screen is a true OLED, I'd worry about burn in long term.- Can't save lighting modes to the board - I can set a lighting mode, and it will stay between wired and wireless. But if you ever change the lighting mode on the keyboard using the screen, it will override your manual lighting mode and you need to use the software to get it working again (and I actually had trouble getting the software to actually do that, it took several attempts). It's nice that there are 19 modes and "off" on the lighting that are preset, but why not have 1-3 user set modes that I could save to the board so I don't accidently swap to a lighting mode I don't want and need to connect the keyboard via wired mode to reset it?- RGB is lackluster - Yes, it's north facing RGB. That is not as big a deal as it used to be, as many switch makers are building compatible switches for north facing. My issue is the RGB is just not very bright. I wanted to try some pudding key caps, and found the light was so dim on it's brightest setting it didn't illuminate anything other than the shine though main part of the key. Now, it could be hampered by not having a good diffuser on the switches (which are translucent black top caps with an RGB pass though, so don't block the light but don't help it shine), but even with no cap, the lights are not super bright, even in wired mode.- Single size feet with no rubber bottoms - No 2 stage feet, and no rubber on the adjustable feet. The base rubber on the bottom of the case is great, but if you use the feet, you lose 2 rubber contacts. Not an issue on things like a desk pad, but if it's on a solid desk, you could get some sliding. There is a spot to mount your own rubber, so that's an option I guess, but feels like an oversight.- Issues with opening - I never tried to open mine, but if you choose to mod the keyboard, as one tends to do in the keyboard hobby, 2 screws are under the rubber feat, and 1 screw is under the label in the back. The rubber feat could be glued back on (or removed if you're using the stand, as I think they're the top/back feet), but the one under the label means you'll have a potentially ugly rip in the label below the keyboard. Minor issue, but still not fun.- No spare switches - I mean, I get it's a value keyboard, but you had a USB cable, a key puller, some nice accent key caps for a splash of color, why not 3 spare switches?So, would I recommend this keyboard? Yes. I think it could be a great keyboard for a lot of users, IF it fits your needs. Is this keyboard for me? I don't think so, which is a shame, as the typing experience on this is solid, and I love the customizable screen and figured out the volume knob, but issues with the software, the bottom out hardness issue, and weak RGB as well as how clunky it is to change modes and no dongle holder really hold it back in my eyes. But that doesn't mean this wouldn't be a good keyboard for someone else. I feel bad because I really do enjoy the keyboard overall, but I keep hitting the shortcomings of it my use cases. Keyboards are extremely personal however, so hopefully this review is helpful in you figuring out if this keyboard is right for you or not.
5.0 out of 5 stars first modular and wireless keyboard experience
after using logitech my entire gaming time and one of my switches breaking i just decided to buy modular, while I'm not the biggest fan of the switches and I do plan to switch them out, its still good quality feeling, also the screen is surprisingly high quality for the price.
5.0 out of 5 stars My new favorite keyboard
The media could not be loaded. Extremely easy setup, all with the screen in the corner. Didn’t realize how easy it would be until I started messing around with it. To setup Bluetooth for new users: go to BT1. Hold the button and don’t let go until it shows its reset and ready to pair. That was the only problem I had and it lasted about 30 seconds. Other then that keyboards working flawlessly and is just the start of my new/old style setup.
5.0 out of 5 stars Pretty silent!
Pretty good keyboard although have to charge the keyboard maybe every 3 days but thats fine
