Wireless Mechanical Keyboard,Gasket Mounted with Creamy Sound,Bluetooth/2.4GHz/USB-C,Custom Hot Swappable,RGB Backlit,75% Compact Layout for Gaming/Typing/Win/Mac/PC (Retro Beige,Linear Switch)

I hadn't bought a new keyboard for a few years, and didn't expect to since the ones I already had were pretty good. Then I saw a review of this one on youtube, and though I would give it a try.They don't include the spare key switches and alternate coloured key caps any longer, but that's not really an issue. What is - or might be for some - is the lack of driver software to do all the clever stuff creating light shows, macros and the like. It can be downloaded though when you can find it!In use, this is astonishingly good for a keyboard that costs $49. It is an all-plastic design, which doesn't inspire confidence on first sight, but it is in fact rigid and very solidly made. Unlike a lot of mechanical keyboards, this doesn't have the switches exposed but encased as is more common generally, so it doesn't look all that remarkable. Looks can be deceiving though, because this one not only has USB, wireless (with included dongle) and BlueTooth connectivity, with up to three BT pairings, but it also has the feel of a good 1980's style keyboard, though with backlighting and a gloriously wide variety of lighting effects.The keys are hot swappable, and the backlights are 'south facing' so even though they don't shine through the keycaps, they do illuminate very nicely.It can be a bit hit or miss to get the pattern you want, or indeed to have a solid all-on backlight in one or many colours, but it's well worth it for the visuals.And typing on it is fantastic. The feel is smooth and moderate so you know you've hit a key, and the sound is not loud, but very satisfyingly 'thocky'.Get one - it has a switch for PC or Mac use, and it connects to just about any computer, and if you take your keyboards seriously, you'll thank yourself!

This is a new standard for all plastic keyboards. Better than some keyboards that cost 10x as much. Honestly blown away. Sound, feel, stabilizers, features, everything. All of this with mostly uncompromised build quality and plastic that doesn't feel like $40 keyboard plastic. I prefer tactile switches and I still like this board. Unless you specifically play games that can take advantage of hall effect switches, or you just want a metal case, GET THIS KEYBOARD. Best stock prebuilt experience I've ever had. I own a wooting 80 he and several other $200-$1000 custom keyboards. This keyboard has damn near every feature of many of these boards AND 2 different wireless modes. I didn't believe Hipyo Tech in his video but I was very curious and was not disappointed. I did not receive the extra switches or key caps that some people did. This doesn't matter imo, because the switches themselves are more than worth the $40($50 as of writing) asking price. So even if you don't like the board long term you can take the switches out of the HOTSWAP pcb. The switches and design of the board give it a "thocky" or "creamy" sound profile. Deep, but not as deep as a gateron ink black. The pbt keycaps are surprisingly high quality(replaced with gmk zooted in photo) and don't need to be changed if customization is not important to you.The only bad things about this keyboard is the questionable software support, there is no need to mod/tinker with it, and that it is plastic. The kisnt(dot)cn website is blocked in most browsers. After getting on the site there is no link to the software in other reviews. At the time of writing the board doesn't support VIA. This is the type of board someone would get to figure out what they like in a keyboard but its too good and doesn't leave much for the user to experiment and add to make it sound or feel better. ITS $40-$50 OF COURSE ITS PLASTIC.What really blows my mind about this keyboard is the attention to detail. It seems that whatever design team worked on this is very in tune with custom keyboards as a hobby, unlike many larger brands.TLDR:UNBEATABLE BUDGET KING and new plastic keyboard standard.

I LOVE this little keyboard. I've bought 4 and this one is the best of the bunch by a mile. Here's why...1. The sound is perfect. Not too loud, just chocky enough. The spacebar is a tad loud, but you get used to it.2. The right-most shift key is a normal size. A lot of keyboards make it smaller and you don't realize how much you use that right shift key. When it's smaller your fingers bump other things constantly.3. It has a physical Home and End button. Many of these mechanical keyboards put home and end as functions of some other key as an fn combination. That's a terrible experience. Going to the start or end of a line is something I do constantly.4. The color is perfect. I was looking for a retro look and the off white and key combo colors are just right.My only complaint is that the battery life is pretty bad on 2.4ghz. About a week. It's fine - I keep a cord on my desk and just plug in, but almost all of these Chinese brands have poor battery life and this is no exception.The bottom line is that this thing is 50$ and it rivals the 200$ boards I've bought and that's crazy. Buy it right now.
