VELOCIFIRE TKL Wireless Mechanical Keyboard, 87-Key with Outemu Brown Switches for Copywriters, Typists and Programmers(No Backlit)

The keyboard feels alright; my personal preference would have been that they ripped off the the Cherry MX Blue switches instead of the Brown ones for this example. However, the power status lights are unclear, and unexplained by the directions. And the silkscreening on the keys looks like it was done by someone on their second or third day at work. The letters on the keyboard are misaligned; the vertical alignment of the letters on the keyboard is absolutely awful, with inconsistent silking of the letters onto a slightly different location on each key. It's like typing on a ransom note.EDIT: I discovered that Velocifire's key silker has a moonlighting gig:. See the picture.

Great keyboard. I was very skeptical about mechanical keyboards, especially considering most of them cost north of $100. I have no idea how they do it with good switches (Outemu browns, everything else in this price range uses reds, usually of lower quality as well, which are horribly noisy).After trying this out, really helps with my carpal tunnel pain, and much more comfortable to work on with the key feedback.I also love this layout, while a numpad can be useful for doing some calculations, it moves the mouse too far out. This setup maintains a properly sized shift key along with properly arranged arrow keys while keeping the mouse close enough so that I don't have to reach too far out to it every time.After getting this for home I ended up buying another one for work.My only recommendation is to also get o-rings to slightly shorten the travel and dampen the sound a little, at least for an office environment. I personally prefer the feel.

Despite the low cost, the feel of the keyboard is nice. The mechanical keys are great for typing. The build quality feels pretty high. It looks nice. Very simple, slightly curved keys. If the keyboard actually worked i'd give it a 4 or 5 star rating.However, the keyboard stopped working altogether within a few months. I've owned it for maybe two months and use it daily at work. Out of nowhere, the two LEDs on the keyboard (caps lock and battery indicator) turned solid RED and the keyboard stopped working. I thought maybe the battery was dead despite the fact that I charge it every weekend. When I plug it in the battery indicator turns purple.But the keyboard still does not function. Even if I connect it to my PC via USB. If the keyboard did not malfunction I'd gladly give it 5 stars. If Wireless is not mandatory for you, I'd recommend getting this in the wired version. The physical keyboard and switches are easily one of the best values you'll find for an inexpensive mechanical keyboard.______________Update: They offered to refund the cost and send me a shipping label to return the keyboard. I'll probably order the same keyboard but not wireless, since the keyboard itself is very nice for the price but I'm wary of the electronics inside now.

After using this keyboard for about a month or so, I feel comfortable leaving some feedback on this solid piece of hardware. First, the good. It's a rock-solid, well-footed mechanical board using an acceptable substitute for Cherry Browns, is satisfyingly clicky without being obnoxious like the blues, and accepts standard keycaps if you're feeling decorative. Input is precise and consistent, the board holds a respectable charge for extended usage sessions without any trouble, and it seems to charge quickly. Seems to is where we come to problem one, the board doesn't have a particularly great or consistent means of tracking your charge level. I took to sticking it on before leaving for work once a week, and it's never dropped on me, but the indicator LED doesn't do a good job of showing how you're doing. A simple flashing LED that stops flashing upon full charge would be great. The other complaint, which is far more situational, is that on desktop PCs, the receiver seems to not like being put into a front side connector, and only wants to work right on a port directly on the motherboard. This is no major issue, as the board has excellent range for most applications. However, since I use this for a living room PC, I had to put the receiver on an extender and mount it on the media shelf next to my system to give me a consistent signal. This is, again, a likely uncommon issue, and once my fix was applied the board performed admirably in everything from typing up documents to fast-paced gaming. I thoroughly recommend this board to anyone wanting a wireless gaming-capable mechanical keyboard that looks sleek and clean while also being affordable.

update: 2.1.2018it's been 3 weeks or so now and I seem to have something unexpected happening.it maybe the way I type, but I seem to get a 'space' instead of the key I press.ie I press the '9' key and the curser advances with a 'space' on screen.happens maybe 1 in a 300 or so key presses, and it took me a while to see it as I'm not always watching the screen when I type.happens on numbers and lower letters, maybe other keys too, just haven't seen it there yet.I'll take a star off for this behavior.still like the cordless tkl and switch feel of these cloned 'browns'.I got the wireless tkl.surprised on it's weight(heavy, which is good), it feels solid and doesn't easily move on the desk.the key action is as expected for 'brown' keys.I use my keyboard 8+ hours/day most days of the week and I like this keyboard.I can't justify other most likely better mechanical key keyboards costing $100+, yet this keyboard is very enjoyable to use.features:the keycaps can be replaced.they include a key cap removing tool.there is a on/off switch on the bottom of the keyboard along with a slot for the wireless/usb token can be stored if the keyboard needs to to another location.works as expected/well with linux.no complaints.If you're looking to get a mechanical key keyboard, I can recommend this one.
