Mechanical Gaming Keyboard Hot Swappable with Multi Monochromatic Backlight 104 Key Anti-ghosting Ergonomic Metal Plate Multimedia Key USB Wired for PC Mac Gamer Office Typist(White Purple/Red Switch)

I got this board for $35 and at that price it was a steal. It made for an amazing project board that I've been messing around with on my primary machine for a couple months now. Still using it but might switch out to something else soon. It's a great deal if you intend to modify this keyboard.As for the stock feel of it, I used it for a a little over a week in that configuration out of curiosity and... it's still pretty decent; At least it is at $35. At $50.... I think I'd advise going elsewhere. There are too many excellent keyboards on the market these days to mess around with this in its stock configuration. If you're like me and you love those volume rollers though... maybe that would sway things back toward buying it.

The keyboard works great and provides that tactile feedback I had been missing for so long. I do wish there were other color options, but this is not for show-and-tell, so I'm okay with the purple and white.

Simply put, I was looking for a mechanical keyboard with hotswappable keys so I could use a set of switches I needed a new home for. Heedless to say, you've seen my rating, you probably know my thoughts already. It works. It works well, in fact. The key switches it comes with work well enough, it's cheap, and the white LED backlights are fairly good at throwing out a good bit of light. The only reason I'm docking a star is because the build quality leaves a bit to be desired. Not to say it isn't worth the money, it is! The keyboard's motherboard sits just a bit too low in its chassis though, leading to some keys striking the metal plate before they go through a full stroke. It's not terrible-as I said, I LOVE this keyboard, but it's important to note nonetheless. Four stars.

I'm fairly impressed with this keyboard for the price they're asking, to be honest. The build quality is better than I was expecting, and I really like the more open design (shared by the Logitech that I use normally) that keeps crud from building up under the keys and requiring removal of all the keycaps to remove.The keyswitches that come in this keyboard are interesting, they feel much more springy than the cherry red and browns I'm familiar with, without any real click I could detect Their triggering is quite positive , though, and they have a decent amount of resistance, which I'd consider a reasonably comfortable keyboard to use. The volume-control roller in the upper right is a nice touch that my Logi doesn't have, and the LEDs are quite bright. Still trying to figure out how to control them or turn them down a bit for evening, but they're not bad at all.For the price they're asking, I'd say this one is definitely worth grabbing, it compares decently to the other mid-range mechanicals I've used - although I am NOT an expert or a keyboard builder!

I have nothing to compare this too other than the membrane keyboard.I find the keyboard to be great. The media buttons are useful and the switches are........silent I guess my family find it quieter but of course it's not a dead silent switch, low volume thock noise. I'm waiting for Haimu heartbeats, I will compare the original switches with the haimu,Overall I like the keyboard as my first mechanical.

Note: Is actually an Ajazz AK35i. I *believe* that Ajazz is a lower end sub-brand of Epomaker, who in my opinion makes pretty good stuff. I was hoping this was a knockoff without the Ajazz logo, but it includes the Ajazz branding on the keyboard.IF you are thinking to buy to use as is out of the box, I'd give this keyboard 2.5 to 3 stars. Because I intentionally bought it for modding, I'm very happy with my purchase.Background: I've been looking for a reasonably priced, full-sized, moddable keyboard with a dial in the top right corner, which eliminated the Keychron, which has a knob in a weird location in the function key row.Note to modders - this keyboard only takes 3 pin switches, if you want to you use 5 pin switches, you will need to cut two legs off your switches. I also can't tell if the sockets only take Outemu switches or if they will work with other switches unmodded. In any case, I only use Outemu Silent White switches, so it didn't have any impact on me. I was fine with most of the qualities of the case, so I did not do a tape mod on the board, etc.I've attached an image of the keyboard, post-modding (keycaps are XDA Heavy Industry).The Good Parts+ Full keyboard with a dial and multimedia keys in the top right corner+ Replaceable switches (3 pin, most likely Outemu-type only)+ Low priced base moddable board+ Includes a switch/keycap remover+ Non-gamer esthetic (aluminum style top, white plastic base)+ Good for modding, depending on how much you care about the base keyboardHit or Miss* Included AJAZZ branded red-style switches are pretty quiet. Some sample switches of other types are included also.* The dial does not have an "integrated" button for mute* Manual is in Chinese only, you can find a semi complete manual in English on Epomaker's site* Has RGB modes (if you're into that thing, I'm not)* The keyboard status LEDs are very bright (caps lock, num lock, etc).* The stabilizers are meh. The spacebar stabilizer is bad. If I hit the spacebar off-center, it's still noisy in spite of my "silent" switches. I'll probably have to take the keyboard apart at some point and do some mods to make that quieter, but I can live with that for the time being.* AJAZZ branding plate on the top of the keyboard. Personally I like keyboards that don't have branding plastered on them, but YMMV.* The keyboard is not as rigid as I'd like, but I don't hammer the keys when I type, so it's not a big issue for me. The feel is not as good as the E-Yooso K682, but I'm not a person who is highly sensitized to keyboard feel. I mainly like mechanical switches because I can change the keycaps, plus I don't like noisy keyboards in general, which is why I like the Outemu Silent White switches, which produce about as much sound as a standard dome keyboard, which is not a lot.The Not So Good Parts / Potential Dealbreakers- Not worth the price as your main keyboard out of the box, unmodded. If you don't care about the dial/multimedia keys, the E-Yooso K682 is a cheaper alternative that also supports modding (Outemu switches only), and I felt like the E-Yooso has a better out-of-the-box experience.- Non-removable cord- The + stems on the included switches do not have a tight fit with 3rd party keycaps or even the keycaps that come with the keyboard. The same applies to the + stems on the plate mounted stabilizers. I kept the plate mounts but subbed out the + stems from some spares I had lying around.- The keycaps that come with the board are *at best*, "meh"

When I received the package I thought an RGB keyboard was sent even though there was no mention of RGB lighting in the description :) No, it is not RGB it has only white backlight.It has a nice feel to key pressing and is not loud.Key caps can be replaced and also the switches (a few samples are included in the box)I had to remove one star because the manual it comes with is not in English (Chinese only) so finding out how to use the backlight took some googling...For your convenience I have included a photo of the manual in English that I found online...

I really like this keyboard it is much heavier than my razer. Light is fairly simple and this is why I like it, no rainbow or silly colour rotation.The key stroke is very sensitive and the light pressure will trigger the key, which may not be suitable for everyone. I have been alt-tab from the game without realizing it because my pinky activates it.Overall I would use this for office typing and coding over gaming, since the keystroke sound is very calm and doesn't generate that annoying clicking noise.
