KN85 Wireless Mechanical Keyboard, 75% Layout, Bluetooth/2.4GHz/USB-C, Custom RGB Backlit, Hot-Swappable Linear Switch, Creamy Sound for Gaming/Typing (Textured Black)

I kept seeing this keyboard everywhere — the one that kept getting away. I wasn’t sure about the build quality at first. Months ago, I saw a great review from Hipoyotec, but still didn’t pull the trigger. Eventually my keyboard addiction got the best of me, and I’m glad it did. This thing is thocky, creamy, sturdy, and feels like real quality when you’re using it. I love it. 100% worth the price. The layout on the right side is perfect, it works great with Linux, and it just looks slick. I do wish they included a bit more in the box — maybe extra caps or switches — but that’s just the spoiled keyboard addict in me talking. I’ve lost count of how many keyboards I own at this point. I’ll try anything: cheap, midrange, “premium.” I rarely spend over $150, and honestly, I usually stay under $90. I love finding hidden gems like this one. Half the fun of this hobby is taking something mediocre and making it great. A while back I bought a $7 keyboard off Amazon, swapped the switches, lubed it, threw on new caps, and took it traveling — it ended up becoming one of my favorites. Aluminum boards are gorgeous, sure, but they can be overrated. Leobog makes some fantastic ones too. I’ve got boxes of switches and caps I haven’t even opened yet. I’ve stopped counting. Probably over fifty by now. And don’t even get me started on HE switches — that’s another rabbit hole entirely. Anyway, back on track: this Kisnt keyboard is easily in my top ten, maybe even top five. Every Wednesday I rotate keyboards — swap, tune, re-evaluate — but this one doesn’t need a thing. It sounds and feels perfect right out of the box. Thanks, Kisnt. You nailed it.

Great keyboard with a nice solid feel. Sounds great and has a nice smooth "thocky" sound. I was surprised how nice the switches were from the start. Get this keyboard if you aren't looking to customize your keyboard. This one is a great setup from the start. I typically work with it wired, so I can't comment on the bluetooth connectivity, but it's plenty responsive while plugged in. No lag from what I can tell. It is made of plastic, but feels solid. The layers of silicone give it a heavier feel than I expected, making the keyboard feel far more premium for its affordability. If you're looking for something very solid, with a great feel and sound without emptying your wallet, I'd buy this keyboard without hesitation. Highly recommended.

Couldn't ask for a better mechanical keyboard. I was never super in to mechanical keyboards until I started watching some reviews and used my friends while at his place. Fell in love with how they felt and sound. My corsair k70 I had for over 4 years was starting to show its age so I started shopping. I watched "RandomfrankP"s video showing of this keyboard in his budget tech videos and for under $40 I was hooked. Ordered and was immediately impressed. Had for 8+ months and its everybit as good as when I first set it up. Super responsive, ergonomic, rgb is a bonus honestly, colorways look great no matter the choice, sounds so satisfying, and can handle long gaming sessions no problem. This keyboard is worth every bit of $80-$100 so getting it for half of that is an incredible value. Ditch whatever big box brand keyboard you have and save yourself some money and headache. Biggest win is NO STUPID BLOATWARE. No icue, razer, armory crate crap. Plug it in and game/work away!

I'm typing this review on my Kisnt KN85 and I couldn't be happier! It's the best keyboard I've owned, and by some margin. It is able to be connected to 3 devices, at any given time, and has 3 options for pairing - Bluetooth, USB Bluetooth (included), and USB cable (included). The keys are durable, smooth, and creamy - no thocking here! I prefer a smaller keyboard layout, and the KN85's 80% is perfect for my home office. Typing is ultra-responsive, even on Bluetooth mode! The board is easy to clean with a standard air dusting device and wipes-down easily. The keys are swappable, but I have kept the OEM setup as the colors are fantastic. If there is any downside, it is a very heavy device, however I think this is a testament to the KN85's build quality, so no drop in stars from me! I highly recommend the Kisnt KN85.

It's hard to imagine a keyboard that feels as nice to type on as this one for the money. I bought this keyboard as a temporary backup to use while I was cleaning the keycaps on my more expensive custom keyboard and I actually like typing on this one (the Kisnt KN85 that I am using right now to type this review) better. It's plastic, but feels quite solid, the switches are smooth and sound quite nice. The keycaps are good quality. They are not shine through, which isn't a problem for me. As far as connectivity goes, I am using it in wired mode, so I can't speak to the wireless functionality. YMMV there. I am docking this keyboard one star for the software, which is proprietary and seems a bit sketchy. If this had VIA compatibility it would be an easy 5 star recommend. One last note, I am using this keyboard on Windows and it works as expected. I have no knowledge of how it performs on Linux and/or Mac OS.

Set up was a breeze, simply plug in. It charges in a few hours. This keyboard is really nice. I like the “creamy” sound other viewers have described. A VERY light touch is all you need to type. I won’t say it’s sensitive, it just requires a light touch of each key. That is something I need to get used to. I have a laptop set up on a riser, and needed a keyboard that will fit in the small space beneath it. This was my choice after reviewing MANY keyboards. I also wanted a laptop with raised keys, a mechanical keyboard. I like the “old school” feel of it. Weight: it’s heavy. I won’t be traveling with it, so that doesn’t matter to me. But I love the heaviness of it. Feels secure in its spot. Ergonomics: there are two levels if you want to change the angle. Three is you count not using the little feet at the back. I also have a padded hand/wrist rest for extra comfort (NOT INCLUDED) but the keyboard itself is comfortable to use. Color: I would have preferred black to match my desk accessories and laptop, or blue my favorite color. I went for the least expensive option as the color doesn’t change the effectiveness of the device. Lights: it’s advertised as a gaming keyboard. I’m not a gamer, nor will I ever be. You CAN turn off the lights. Simply read the paperwork that comes in the package to know how.

Click to play video I have a dream. I dream that the keyboard market will be like this product. The coolest feature of the keyboard is the sound of typing. It makes the sound of pebbles rolling. This keyboard has become the benchmark for my keyboard purchase. Superiorly good but affordable. Looks like I've found treasure. I don't need to explain about this keyboard what the hot swaps are like, what the internal sound absorbers are like, what the keycaps are like. It's a keyboard that's completely equipped with everything. However, I can't say that the exterior finish is great. Bought this keyboard for typing. Its typing sound is clear and cheerful, which is entertaining, but not quiet. It's not suitable for spaces where you have to share it with others. It's also great for gaming because RGB is gorgeous. It's rather noisy to use in the office. It sells for about $40 but is worth more than $120. If you buy the Bsun linear switch separately, it's at least $20 to $30. So this keyboard, excluding the switch, only costs $10 to $20. How is it? More than half of the price of this keyboard is allocated to the switch. That's how valuable the keyboard is. Its cost-effective brands, AULA and WOB Rainy75, also collapsed in front of it. Now, AULA and WOB Rainy75 are not cost-effective keyboards. It is a good keyboard that can be taken out of the box and used right away. This keyboard has such a good typing sound that you don't have to mod it separately and the product is highly complete. After trying this product, you'll lose interest in the keyboard on the aluminum housing. That's how great it is. This product will raise the bar for keyboards and save you time for modding. Once again, "Never buy this keyboard. You will not be able to use another keyboard." PS. - If your time is precious, it is best to use this product. - It is a keyboard that you can't buy in Korea, either. It is a good keyboard that Koreans will go crazy about, too. - I wanted to remove one star due to missing keycaps among the components, but I was able to put up with it due to a nice typing sound. Advantages - Affordable for value. - Good typing sound. - No additional modding required. – a keyboard that's ready to go. - A retro design with a nice vibe. Weakness - The finish is not good. The upper part of the F array is narrow and the lower part is wide. The product's appearance is not perfect. - Spacebar typing sound doesn't match the overall typing sound - a little hi-pitch. - An extra keycap was not included. (white spacebar and 4 arrow keycaps)

This keyboard is literally my dream come true. I have been searching for a keyboard like this forever. It comes fully moded already for such a good price, it sounds amazing, it feels amazing, and has had zero performance issues so far. I highly recommend this keyboard truly. It is easy to use, it has decent keycaps. Overall for the price truly amazing seriously. If you want a good quality keyboard but can't afford to spend like 80 bucks this is it. I have had 60 dollar keyboards that promise this quality and then have software issues or springy noises when typing. This doesn't for a fraction of the price. :3 - if I could be a sponsor for them I would lol.

El teclado superó mis expectativas en lo esencial: sonido “thock” muy placentero, pulsaciones firmes y tres modos de conexión que funcionan sin problema. La construcción se siente sólida; el plástico es grueso y limpio al tacto, de mejor calidad que en otros modelos de su rango. Puntos a favor: Excelente sensación y respuesta lineal. Sonido grave-cremoso desde fábrica, sin necesidad de mods. Muy buen valor por el precio: se acerca a prestaciones “custom” de gamas más altas. Puntos a mejorar: El software de administración fue inútil en dos PC. La página es confusa, y aunque el teclado fue reconocido, no ofrecía opciones reales de configuración. La parte trasera utiliza un plástico más sencillo, y las gomas antideslizantes están pegadas con cinta doble faz que comenzó a despegarse desde el primer día. Me preocupa que se pierdan o necesiten ser reemplazadas pronto. No incluye numpad: ideal para gaming y escritura, pero puede ser limitante para quienes usan mucho la entrada numérica. Conclusión: Una excelente puerta de entrada al mundo “custom” por su sonido, tacto y conectividad, siempre que no dependas del software ni necesites un teclado completo. Nota aparte (no influye en la calificación del producto): el rastreo tardó cuatro días en actualizarse; el paquete llegó sin daños, pero el proceso logístico, la comunicación y el profesionalismo por parte del vendedor pueden mejorar.

Excellent Product

Honestly, I am absolutely blown away with the quality of this kisnt KN85, it's hands down the best keyboard I have ever owned. First of all, the sound quality of the key click is insane, this thing is so thocky with the bsun switches, PBT double shot key caps, gasket mounts and multiple layers of dampening foam/silicone, genuinely such a pleasure to type with. It is even hot-swappable if you want to change or upgrade your switches. The battery life is amazing, first use never charged out of the box lasted over a full week of heavy daily use. I find it very hard to find any fault with this keyboard whatsoever. One note is that the LED's are south-facing, so shine-through backlit keycaps won't work, I like double-shot caps for the thock, so this doesn't bother me one bit. But seriously, I have never been so happy to be typing at my desk. It has changed my whole experience. I watch reviews of £200-£500 keyboards, and I still think this is better. All I will say is get it fast, as prices are constantly rising due to demand.

looks and feels amazing, setup was easy and battery is lasting along time which is great. but the sound of the keyboard is so creamy, it really does sound like a premium keyboard. I also love the beige color scheme its very clean yet retro and the letters are bolded and of course its not a lousy 60% so you can enjoy all the key functions without having to press FN all the time

Awesome keyboard that punches above its weight. Stock switches are louder than I'd like, but hey it's a custom keyboard, so just swap them out easily for anything you like. For the price it's great keyboard. ONLY major issue is I like separate numpad controllers (I put these on the right of my mouse so it's quicker) but Kisnt only make these seperate numpads for the two other colour schemes that exist. The beige and green scheme is missing.
