ELECGO Mechanical Gaming Keyboard, 77 Keys Anti-Ghosting USB Wired, Swappable Red Switch & Ergonomic Design, Rainbow LED Backlit Mechanical Keyboard for PC, Laptop, Gaming, Office

I ordered this compact keyboard to use at work instead of the woeful keyboard that is on my cheap work-issued laptop.I've found it feels, and sounds, nice to type on. I think I wished I'd gone for a wireless option now but this keyboard has served me well and I have no complaints - I think the backlight is effective.For a relatively inexpensive mechanical keybaord I think it is good value - be aware that it is US layout.

Currently priced at £25.99 which. I feel is fair for the quality received. Nice and comfortable to use.

Low quality stabilisers build off while just taking tab key off with key pulle. Junk

Build quality is ok, plastic is of good quality, red switches are smooth and linear and the the keycaps are the pudding style which lets more light shine through.Switches are swappable but I found it hard to pull out a switch with the rubbish supplied switch puller, four spare switches which are blue clicky switches for some reason which is odd when the keyboard has red switches.Feet to angle up the keyboard, they are thin and not that strong but do the job.The keycaps layout I think is a USA layout, so the £ sign is on key 3.The RGB is in rows so you only get one colour per row at the same time which is controlled by the FN key+ ~ key which is marked m with arrows around it.The volume knob can be changed to rgb brightness control if you want by holding it for 3 seconds, I would leave it as a volume knob and use the arrow keys for brightness control.I think at the price there are better options, but if a volume knob and pudding keycaps are important to you it could be worth buying.

D key broke 2 days within use. DO NOT BUY THIS KEYBOARD IF YOU VALUE YOUR MONEY!

The instructions for this are a bit rubbish - I looked at them to try to find out how to change the backlight and it points you to the function keys which do not work. The actual light controls are the cursor keys and allow you to turn it up/down in brightness (or off) and change the speed of changing - except they don't change. You have the lights as shown in the photos and that's it. The good thing about the lights is they shine through the keys so you can see the letters at night. Otherwise I'm not fussed about the pastel shades.As a keyboard this is well built. It's strong - while made of plastic, there's no flexing at all, and the mechanical key action is quite nice. It is however a US layout so no £ key.There's a key pulling tool and some extra keys included in the box should any wear out.It's a wired keyboard - the first I've seen that uses a USB-C connector at the keyboard end - usually they're hard-wired.Overall, not bad, but more lighting options would be nice.
