Hi, This is ghgltggamer who purchases this keyboard few months Ago , And i will only say that i am satisfied , I Will drop Proc & Cons with How To use Keyboard Tutorial for you to make a valid decision.Pros:-- Smooth- Good For Long and heavy Sessions- Solid Build Quality- Red Switches (Smoother Than Blue Switches)- Bonus Switches- Decent Unboxing Experience- High Quality Braded Cable- Very Good Ergonomic Design- Total Of 18 LED Effects- Unique and Compact Design which covers less space on the desk.- Low Power Consumption, Even an Android Phone with an OTG Connector can run this without terrible battery drain.- Really Bright LEDs, The RGB Of the keyboard is really bright which makes this keyboard really shine- Key Presses Are very Consistent (Thanks To the High Quality Key Caps and Qtemu Red Switches)- The Volume Dedicated Button is really very usefull, I Now uses that button for a long time and now it's in my needs from a keyboard- I Was using an HP GK320 which is a full sized keyboard but this is not full-sized , Still i am very comfortable , Jusr [Print] Button is not present but it's still fine- Not very expensive, Even comes at impressive price point with red switches.Cons:- Still Noisy (Red switches are still noisy but not as much as blue)- No, Gold Plated USB (Specially where price goes over 1k INR, But Red Switches justifies this)- Not Full Sized (Some keys are missing as this is not full sized keyboard, Like [ Print ] key which might be important for some users)- Anti Ghosting Is Limited to 26 Keys only , This may be the issue for gamers who fully relies on keyboard for gaming- Rainbow RGB , Means the RGB Colors are fixed and they can't be changed (Only glow effect will change)- Slightly Heavier Keyboard as compared to others.- Lacks The Software Support, Means No Official Customisation- No, Additional Key Cap for Linux.How To Use?[Fn] + [Arr UP] = Increases The Brightness Of RGB (LEDs)[Fn] + [Arr Down] = Decreases The Brightness Of RGB (LEDs)[Fn] + [\|] = Changes the LED mode, Set as your wish within 18 different modes[Fn] + [Arr Left] = Decreases The Speed Of RGB (LEDs)[Fn] + [Arr Right] = Increases The Speed Of RGB (LEDs)[Fn] + [Win] = Locks/Unlocks The Meta Key[Volume Dial] = Spin towards Right (Increase The Volume)[Volume Dial] = Spin towards Left (Decreases The Volume)Which People May Use this:- If you want to do gaming, Or anything with smooth keypress then this is the heaven in budget. I am not saying that this can compete with something over 6K INR or more but the red Switches makes this keyboard very special , As with just little more over cosmic byte , Evo Fox is giving red switches as Katan X2 which is really impressive. I also am a Cosmic byte user as i uses Cosmic Byte Firestrom Gaming Mouse and it's good from 2 years i have replaces previous cosmic byte mouse, And i rebought firestrom because this is a good mouse and for Katana X2 , I will keep buying this keyboard unless it goes out of production. As a normal user or gamer , This keyboard will not dis-appoint you.Who May Look At Other Options:- If you are someone who is a formal employee like in a govt. Compainy or an IT Compainy like Microsoft or anywhere who needs computers , You must be looking at sleek, thin and light membrane keyboards, This keyboard is very tall and beefy , Definitely not thin and light weight.I Hope this review will help!Thanks Regards, ghgltggamer 2025Written at : 09:17 PM , 2/3/25 , India/delhi , On An Arch Linux Machiene.

My idea of keyboard was one with cool rgb, compact be yet full size, good quality keys, quieter and knob was must have. This keyboard hit most of my pointers and yet is budget friendly. I love this and gonna use this for a long time now. However it has its own area of improvement. Nothing is too perfect :)Pros :1) OUTEMU blue switches2) Clicky sound but not irritating ( I wanted quieter and though these are blue switches the sound is not distracting)3) Clearly printed keys4) Rainbow backlight effect5) Keys are visible in dark too (with backlight on)6) Anti-ghosting keys7) Two level of height adjustment with anti slip feet on four corners (including height adjuster legs)8) Love the Volume Knob and ring light around it (wish it has light animation while turning)9) Long braided and good quality cable with magnetic ring.Cons:1) Wireless option would have been awesome (its possible to include this as well)2) No multi device connection since its wired. I can only keep one keyboard despite having big table. If this could connect to multiple devices then I can easily switch between my office laptop and personal desktop (gaming or binge watch),Can not have two separate keyboards and sometimes it gets irritating to keep toggling between two keyboards (this and laptop keyboards).3) Knob does not have tactile feel while turning.Also another version with metal knob could be awesome.4) Knobs could have been made programmable.5) Missing swappable key options i.e from blue to red or brown or others6) Does not have software support - could help customize lights and other keys7) Comes in only one color - black.8) Its not completely rgb; actually it has backlight rainbow effect. One or two keys does not get complete light example - @, # and other special symbols on my keyboard unit has few edges dark/unlit.Areas of improvement :1) White option would be good also.2) Wish knob could have tactile feel while turning.Also another version with metal knob could be awesome.3) Multi-device support4) Hot swappable keys5) White backlight as one of the preset in light effect.6) Type C charging able and wireless option7) Edge ambient light8) Light mode to highlight only the gaming keys.

So today I got this Evofox katana x2 keyboard, red switches, First looks are very impressive, those red switches are sweet in sound. Keys are very stable and response are registered very fast n precisely 👏 👌.*UPDATE*minor tradeoffs, win+shift+s doesn't work, it's very handy specially in office work.No pgup n pgdown btn , annoying to use arrows for long scrolls.It's wired and its length is good enough, the weight of this keyboard is on higher side, I mean its actually very heavy. Volume knob works fine. There are different mode to rgb lights(breathing, flow, drops etc) personally I prefer having single color tone, this is a multi color tone rgb but it looks very elegant on that white surface.Overall its a great deal under 2k, I will definitely recommend this one.
