Great keyboard sounds great stock, I'm not a fan of the non shine through key caps. The software has a lot to be desired but it's not a deal breaker for me. I use wired only so the issues with the power switch being under the key cap is not an issue for me but if you are buying this for wireless it is something you should consider. I had one big issue with the cable that the keyboard comes with, it would just not work with the keyboard so I had to use one of my own usb-c to usb-c cables so it would work. Honestly if you are buying this keyboard you will probably need to spend more to make the keyboard good. The case is great I like it looks nice and is heavy. The keyboard is very responsive it is very low latency even compared to some more expensive keyboards out there. This keyboard was a big upgrade for me coming from a mechanical only keyboard so I am very happy overall but I had to invest in more things to get the best out of this keyboard. Read more

It's actually pretty great in general, but it's not perfect. Here's the highlights... Pros: - Price. I picked this up on sale, but even standard price is worth it. - HE switches provide a nice level of customization for actuation - Aluminum body and hefty. Feels premium and stays in place - Performance. It's pretty much unmatched - Wide compatibility for switch types Cons: - Stock keycaps are meh. They're totally ok, but just ok. - Stem wobble on stock switches leaves a little to be desired - On/off switch under caps lock is just silly - Software is mediocre. Gets the job done, I guess, but miles away from VIA or Wooting. I came from a Keychron Q6. Strictly speaking for typing, I prefer it over the Womier, but when you consider to he performance advantages for gaming I think it's a worthy upgrade. I mostly wanted to ditch my numpad and not spend a lot of money, so this was perfect. Read more

I have been using this now for a few weeks and can say I am very happy with it. The keyboard looks and feels great. The sound isn't the creamiest ever, but there is no real pinging and it doesn't sound as hollow as I thought it would. Stabilizers are great, and there is very little key wobble, even on the space bar. The feel of the case is premium, and although the keycaps aren't amazing they are passable. The software is fine, not the sort of thing that you will be jumping into regularly (for me it is a set once and then leave alone once I have everything dialled in). As a casual gamer I cannot say if the TMR actually makes a difference, but in a FPS games I 'feel' like it does. High movement games feel snappier, and I like being able to set a higher actuation point. The key presses do feel a little light for typing, but that is preference for anybody. One thing worth noting is that the coloured WASD keys are not exactly the same profile as the standard keys, and while I appreciate the aesthetic, the different feel was just too weird for me. I do suspect I will find a different set of keycaps in the future. For the price it is difficult to fault. Would buy again! Read more

For me this is almost the perfect keyboard and that fact that it is a hybrid at this price makes it all the better value Pros: - TMR sensors. This allows you to use both mechanical and magnetic switches even at the same time. - TMR sensors. They use less power than Hall effect sensors making it more ideal if you wanted to included wireless connectivity and drain the the batter faster - Big 8000mah battery. This coupled with the TMR sensors allows you to use the keyboard longer without plugging it in. - 8k Polling rate - This keyboard has some weight to it. It feels very well made with its aluminum case and the typing experience feels very solid Neutral: - The RGB lighting is not the brightest. This maybe because of the FR4 plate. Maybe a PC plate would be better but that also changes the typing experience a little. - The stabilizers are plate stabilizers not screw in. They still feel good but this is a personal preference thing Cons: - The software leaves a lot to be desired. I wish that this was VIA/QMK compatible - The software seems to only work in wired mode. It cannot see the keyboard at least in 2.4ghz mode - The power button behind the keycap sucks. It along with connectivity modes needs to be a separate switch on the case somewhere. - In order to use it in wired mode or wireless mode you need to use the special keybinds to switch it over. For example if in wireless mode and you plug in a a USB C cable it wont recognize it until you hit - Because it uses certain keybinds for keyboard functions like switching mode you are limited in the types of macros you can make. - There can definitely be some wireless interference at times. I know all wireless devices are subject to this but it does not seem to be as consistent and stable as like a wireless gaming mouse. It could be an issue with the receiver? At the end of the day this is a very good keyboard. If the next version had an on/off/mode button on the outside of the case, better RGB (maybe PC plate for that), VIA/QMK compatibility, screw in stabilizers and better receiver it would be perfect. But hey 4/5 is still really good and this will be my my main keyboard for the foreseeable future Read more

After upgrading the switches, I prefer this over the Wooting. Overall, it's a great keyboard. I use a wire connection, although switching to wireless mode does require removing a keycap, which can be bothersome for most. Read more

Not much to complain about for this keyboard. All of the other reviews I've seen are pretty accurate. One extreme positive is that almost no modding is needed: There is a foam layer in between the plate and PCB and another one under the PCB There is a plastic sheet on the interior so no tape mod is necessary. The keyboard is top mounted Stock switches feel great and the sound is a lot better in person than I've seen on videos. I may replace them in the future but I am in no rush. 2 complaints: The switch to turn on the bluetooth is under the keycaps so you will need to remove a key if you wanted to use wireless. And stock rattling (plate mounted) stabilizers which almost made me remove a star. The foam in between the PCB and plate makes taking them out impossible without taking apart your keyboard. It requires 20+ screws to be taken off. To anybody who does take apart their keyboard: be careful with the ribbon cable and do not unplug it if you can avoid it as plugging it back in is a little frustrating. Read more

Awesome, best gaming keyboard you can get for the price, forget about this big companies (logitech,razer,corsair,etc...) this keyboard takes them all specially for the built quality. Read more

TLDR: Probably one of the best keyboards available right now. I would say it's the best if not for some gripes with the software. Pros: - TMR tech - Metal case (with added weight) - PBT Keycaps - Fantastic Stabs* - Great feeling switches (and sounding) - Hotswappable switches (AND can use traditional mechanical switches) - 8k polling rate - Wireless and wired connectivity Cons: - RGB lighting isn't the greatest - Software is limited in what you're allowed to remap (especially on the fn layer) - Centered USB port Thoughts: This is actually one of the best keyboards I've used so far. My main was a Wooting 80HE, before that the 60HE, I've used the Keychron K2, and Lemokey L5 HE. I really like magnetic keyboards if you can't tell. First off, if you didn't know, the difference between TMR and standard Hall Effect is that basically TMR is the newer version of the magnetic switch technology. It's more accurate, lower power consumption, doesn't lose accuracy over time, and is less affected by temperature shifts. There might be more, but the long short of it is that TMR is just the "better version" of standard Hall Effect. None of that makes a difference if they keyboard feels like crap to use. I'm glad to say, this is one of the best feeling/sounding keyboards I've used right out of the box. Usually, I feel the need to put some Krytox on the stabs, but all of mine sound fantastic. I put an asterisk* regarding the stabs because I did see a video where the person was unsatisfied with his, so I'm not sure if there could be some QC issue there or, we just have different expectations from stabilizer sounds. Other contributing factors as to why this keyboard feels so good to type on is that the case is aluminum. None of that partial marketing where they emphasize an aluminum case, but only the top plate metal is or anything like that. This baby is SOLID! A really cool feature is that you can also use traditional mechanical switches! Even though I won't be doing this, I think that's a really cool feature. I could see someone wanting their movement keys to stay magnetic, but everything else mechanical or something. Now for my gripes. I'll start with a personal peeve, and that's the USB port is in the middle of the board. Probably not a big deal for most, but I like to keep my stream deck right against the front of my keyboards. Because of this, I just prefer the port to be on the left side. Hardly even worth mentioning, but just in case anyone else cares for that sort of thing. Now for actual issues. Also, not a big deal, but the RGB is kind of lacking. This might be mostly due to the factory keycaps being non-shinethrough. The only thing that I really find annoying considering how great the keyboard is otherwise, is how limited key remapping is. First of all, there aren't even a lot of bindings to choose from. All you really have is media controls, RGB controls, and a few other things. On top of that, on the FN layer, there are a lot of keys that you're not allowed to rebind because they're reserved for things like switching between wireless and wired connections, or RGB controls. The reserved keys are: esc, del, home, end, pg up, pg dn, arrow keys, FN key, M, QWERT, backspace, and windows key. I just think that's a lot of keys to make uncustomizable. Conclusion: If none of those cons bother you, I highly recommend this keyboard! Overall, I'd give it a 4.5 out of 5, only docking it for the almost unnecessary limitations with rebinding. Read more
