My review :
Are you thinking about getting a new keyboard? Do you feel that your current keyboard is not as responsive as it used to be or you just want to change it? This keyboard got you covered. It is a keyboard directed to gamers but even if you are not a gamer you will definitely like this keyboard.
Its build quality is really good it has a metal build with a matte-texture coating that is why it is a little bit on the heavy side. It is backlit and for a person like me that likes to type in the dark it is a big help because I become more focused in the dark, and with the text mode on it helps me a lot. My typing speed can vary a lot depending on the language I am writing on and of course, if I am typing a language that I am not very skilled the typing speed will go down and for that, I sometimes need to look to the keys just for a glance of its position. I get a bit muddled up when switching between languages when typing. LOL. I do not game much but I type a lot and this keyboard never slowed me down.
Besides the text mode, you have the fps (first person shooter) and rts (real-time strategy) modes that will just lit the necessary keyboards for the specific key commands you need to play the respective genre of game. You have more options to choose from the different light modes and you can even record your own modes. And of course, you have several levels of brightness and effects of the lights, like pulsing, flowing and in various directions. You can choose the one that you like the most. This keyboard will have a mode for everyone. Surprisingly it also has the ability to choose each key colour individually like the more expensive ones but for the price, I did not expect anything like that. So that is a bonus.
Now, let's go back to the keys and to the switches. The brand says that is like mx cherry blue but I think that it’s a kailh switch which is a cheap but very good alternative to the cherry blue switch. The tactile feel and its clickiness were a pleasant surprise. It is more clicky than tactile, and by that, I mean that you will know that it has registered the key more by sound than by tact because the bump that it has is very faint giving almost a linear feel but louder than the normal linear ones. Even though I do not have the specs I think the travel is around 4mm and the actuation is about 2mm and the force is probably around the 50g. In simple terms travel means the distance that the key needs to go through until it reaches the bottom and touches the board and actuation is the distance that the key needs to travel for it to register the click.
Conclusions I think this keyboard is good for the price. More and more the Chinese brands offer very good quality for a smaller price than the bigger brands. But Is it worth the £59.64? I think so. The shortcomings are its weight and the loud keys but nothing that would stop me from recommending it. The good points are the diversity in lighting modes and the ability to choose the colours of the keys individually and the feel when typing.
