Good product features but warranty claims are doubtful.
Good product for price. Easily recommended for someone who wants to have Goodness and smoothness of red switch with click feel of brown/blue switch with low noise with yellow switches for the price.

You get Replaceable KeyCaps, you need to know how to do it.
The product is great, it’s just that as expected from an average replaceable keycap structure, sometimes some debris will get stuck under the keys and thus you get either false presses or no presses or something in between. But you can easily fix that if you just remove the keycap and clean it up. Basic service is needed for consistency in performance. But overall, great budget keyboard.

Was not Hotswappable
It seems like they have a base keyboard that they ship as per the features and layout then they give the keycaps extra.But they might have either shipped the wrong base keyboard or the keyboard just isn’t hot swappable.Even though there was a switch puller included in the box, there were no extra switches given. I tried my best to pull out the switches with the switch puller, but it did not budge.The only option that seemed would have been to open up the keyboard which voids warranty, therefore not hot swappable.

Suddenly stopped working after 9 months
Bought this last december, but now it suddenly stopped working. Warranty claim also doesnt seem to be possible. All the keys are not hot swappable (only the coloured ones are, not the regular black ones). Pointless and highly risky purchase. Not worth the money, go for something else.

Black / Brown varient
My key board just arrived today. I will mention the goods before I talk about the cons,1. The build quality is decent for its price2. I went with brown switches, I haven’t noticed any ghosting and the key travel plus feel is good as you would expect from brown switches.3. They have extra key caps and the switches can be swapped (You will have to order a new set of switches tho because they do not provide it)4. The connector for the keyboard is long enough and is usb type C to USB 2.4.5. Stands on the keyboard are sturdy and have a good grip to it.6. Decent light effects for the price range.Cons:1. Brand new keyboard but the fonts are already faded and some keys have half missing fonts which means after a while I will be forced to order a new set of keys, this is a huge minus for me considering I just got the keyboard.2. No RGB, the while light is not bright enough.3. Cable is not braided so it’s prone to damage if not used correctly.4. The switches are not easy to swap/remove. You will end up damaging if you do not know what you are doing.Overall for the price it’s a good keyboard, it would have been amazing of they gave us extra pair of switches to swap out of. If you are in need of a decent looking keyboard for budget friendly price, you won’t go wrong with this one. I will update the review after a couple of months.

I own a dozen keyboards of various types, but I’ve settled on the 96% keyboard as my preferred form factor, having all the keys available (some of my use cases require the numpad) and I prefer a mechanical keyboard over the other types. When my daily runner 96% developed a mechanical fault, I do have another keyboard as an emergency, but I need a 96% replacement until I figure out the problem. And a quick search brought me to this one.The value for this keyboard is quite good, by stripping out the fancy-shmancy features, such as no RGB lights (just “cold cyan”), and no wireless (just a female USB-C port). Instead, you find unobtrusive red switches.The keyset has a dark grey / light grey colorway that’s aesthetically neutral enough. The keys are your average ABS plastic dual-layer keys that lets light and legend shine through. Though one nice thing is the makers included some extra red keys in the box for the modifiers, WASD, arrow keys, and a couple of numpad keys, why is there a 3-space horizontal INSert key?One thing to nitpick: there is no homing dot or bar on the arrow keys, which makes the arrow keys a bit hard to find unless you are very familiar with this layout.There are some lighting pattern effects, but they are not important.The case itself is dark grey to match the darker keys in the colorway.There are 4 “feet” in the case bottom, and two single-position pop-out feet.The keyboard, being only wired, is plug-and-play, needing no drivers.Another minor nit-pick… The first sample I ordered from Amazon was DOA (dead on arrival), will not light up upon plugging in, and there’s really nothing to troubleshoot. Thanks to Amazon’s excellent return policy, I got a replacement before I had to send in the old one for exchange. Though the way Amazon shipped this… directly in the keyboard box, with no cushion, may be a part of the problem.All in all, for the price I paid (which is less than HALF of what I paid for my other 96%, albeit that has RGB lights and wireless) this is a good bargain keyboard that serves my needs. Just beware, the 96% does require some compromise in some key sizes if you want to replace the keys with custom keysets. I.e. the regular 104/107 keysets would be missing a few keys to accommodate the 96%. Watch out. Other than that, this is one solid keyboard for a good price.

A good value budget mechanical keyboard, a 96% layout keyboard (100-key counting Fn) priced like a tenkeyless (87-key).- This red switch version is smooth and quiet except for key bottom outs, as you would expect for the linear non-clicky non-tactile switches. Key operation is completely reliable and stabilizers are working fine.- The substantial plastic case bottom really brings this up a notch from other budget mechanical keyboards. When using this on a solid desk with the large feet flipped down it’s far more satisfyingly thocky than I was expecting for a budget keyboard- The white and pink w/ shine through keycaps and single colour white LEDs are unremarkable but totally fine; most legends are double-shot but there is top pad printing for the F-keys second functions and nav cluster Fn combinations and the numpad home/end/pgup/pgdn legendsLike any rearranged compact layout keyboard (1800, 96%, 75%, etc.), if you’re used to a full sized keyboard or regular TKL, you’re going to find out in a hurry how much you relied on that space between the different clusters to feel your way around when it’s gone :DAlso, if you’re shopping for replacement keycaps, note that many sets have keycap sizes to suit several different “big” layouts but not ones to suit compact rearranged layouts — you’ll want to check that you have the individual keys you need for this, such as the 1u numpad zero key and small right shift key (1.75u I think?).The basics of the keyboard hardware, switches, keycaps are fine; I have a number of nitpicks all with the layout and behaviour:- There is no application key (a.k.a. “Menu”) key you find on a normal “Windows” keyboard — if you have software that needs this key and you have no practical way to use an alternate configuration for it, maybe this isn’t the keyboard for you- The nav cluster End is gone, replaced with an Fn-combination but there is a dedicated key for Print Screen; even as 96% and 1800 layouts go this is not the most common choice, most do the opposite, because it would obviously be better- the End Fn-key combination doesn’t work with other modifiers (Shift, Ctrl) however at least maybe you can use numpad End if you need to type these- Like most single color LED budget keyboards, the backlight LEDs of the toggle keys are used as indicators, with the sense reversed — that is, when Caps Lock is on the backlight of the Caps Lock key is off and vice versa. Unlike tenkeyless boards this one doesn’t have a dedicated scroll lock key so doesn’t show the scroll lock status. Also there’s no way to see the Caps Lock and Num Lock status when the backlight is off — unlike most budget boards there isn’t a backlight off mode for that in the cycle of lighting modes, you just have to turn the LEDs all the way down to off with the brightness control.A collection of little things, but other than the application key only if that applies to you, none seems like a showstopper.
