AULAUnicorn Backlit Mechanical Keyboard with Multi-color LED Illuminated Gaming Computer Keyboard, F2010

This is my 1st mechanical keyboard so I have nothing else to compare it to apart from membrane keyboards, but I know a great typing experience when I 'feel' it and this is it. It is a pleasure to type on, hard to describe to someone who doesn't get the clicky thing. One thing I was not prepared for - the noise. Click-clack is one thing, but wow I am SURE my neighbors can hear me type on this thing so I will be needing to pick up some dampener O rings, but not even worth deducting a star - that's just what mechanical keyboards do. The LEDS are pretty, still learning how to mess with them, but finding I like solid color - pulsing and flashing and whatnot are too distracting to me and kind of drive me nuts so I can't say much on that area. The keys themselves are backlit, in other words the light shows through the letter so you can see it at night, which is huge for me being an insomniac gamer. The casing is aluminum and super sturdy, this will last a long time. I love that it doesn't slide around easily on my desktop ~ between the weight and the grippy strips on the bottom it is very secure. Very happy with it, would definitely buy again.*UPDATE Feb. 2017*Under a year and the E and W Key (gamer...) and enter are no longer working properly. I have to hit them really hard to get response. Not happy with that, but otherwise still a good sturdy keyboard. I guess I'll just have to change the switches for those keys. Still don't regret purchase and would still recommend :)

I really enjoy the look and feel of this keyboard, but I am disappointed in the life of it. I have issues with keystrokes doubling and tripling. I cleaned the keyboard in the event the issue was due to keys sticking when pressed, but that has not solved my issue. For someone who doesn't use it for more than general computer use (no heavy gaming or excessive typing) I feel it should have lasted longer.

I love the look and feel of this keyboard. It's got a good weight to it which will keep it from sliding around alot, but the keys are sooooo loud. They produce a loud and pronounced click sound for each key typed, so if sound is an issue where you intend to use it, I would not recommend it. It's great in a dark environment due to the lighting (even though we're told not to stare at PC screens in low lighting due to eye strain- bad reviewer!)The only potential downsides I see are the key click sound, and the limited protection of the keys. This is not a keyboard for an environment where it might be tossed around or abused. The keys extend out of the keyboard and look like they could break off easily if abused.

Been using it less than a year. The F key sticks on its way up, and the G key and spacebar don't always register. I've removed the keys and made sure it was clean, it's the switches failing.Edit: a few weeks after writing this the H key doesn't work most of the time. No dirt and dust issues. Nothing was spilled on it. Changed USB ports etc. Just a piece of junk.

Its been nearly a year that ive been typing and gaming on this keyboard. And to make this summary short, its been amazing in every way.It doesnt have RGB lighting or programable lights but i actually keep the LEDs off because it gives off a modern but retro feel. It feels like a clicky IBM pS/2 keyboard. And its VERY loud. Pro or con, i am in love with this thing being as loud as it is.Typing on this is almost like watching ASMR. It gives you wear sensations in your head if you like the sound of keyboards clacking away.Pros:-price-performance-construction-comfort-LOUDCons:-LOUD-occasional multipress of keys when pressing the right shift key. Very rare occassion.-attracted to animal hairs very bad

I have been a Razer fan all my life, don't get me wrong, its an awesome brand.But compared to the BlackWidow Chrome Clicky X which costs $160, this one is much better in value and i have tried both, and in my opinion i see absolutely no difference between the Razer and this AULA keyboard. Super responsive, lots of illumination modes, QUALITY BUILD. The entire keyboard itself is around 3 pounds and it feels great to type on, and dont even mention it for games!I am VERY happy i went with this keyboard instead of the BlackWidow(which is still a great a great keyboard) but for $100 less, this keyboard is just as great as the Razer.GREAT GREAT Mechanical keyboard!

Bought this a little July 2016, worked fine until last week suddenly all the lights went off now I have two light on the keyboard that work. Kind of disappointed in it only lasting a year and a half.

Pros:- Loud, springy, and very responsive (not obnoxiously loud...at least for the typist)- Adjustable brightness- Various light modes- 3 custom profiles to set which keys light up- Lockable windows key- Long cordCons:- There's a buzzing sound. You can't hear it unless there isn't any other sound in the room, and when all the lights are on and the brightness is turned up.- I have no idea how to contact customer support. The only website for Aula is aulacn.com and there isn't an english version.- I did get a keyboard where the left shift key had a stunted spring and wouldn't return all the way. Of course Amazon was great about this and took back the keyboard for a replacement.
