Where do i start??????
This keyboard has blown me away with the value-to-cost ratio. I don't understand how this company keeps coming out with banger products. Especially when the competition has similar options for such a higher price. I have bought many big box store keyboards and always return them, and come back to companies like RK and EPOMAKER. This keyboard feels DURABLE, it feels QUALITY, it feels SMOOTH, it feels PREMIUM. The hotswap board means that it is very customizable. You can take it apart and add your own sound-dampening system if you don't like how it comes. But io must say, I purchased some switches to change out the ones in here once I received it, but I never got to it because I am so confident in the ones that come with it originally. They function so buttery. It almost feels too good to type on this keyboard. The size is perfect, the LEDs get pretty bright, but I have found myself leaving them off because the board just looks so good without them. I'm glad I have them in case I ever change my mind. If you're on the edge, just pull the trigger already. You will not be disappointed with this board.I'm actually typing all my reviews on it right now.

IF this is the size keyboard you need/use, this feels and works great!
I like RK's keyboards, at the price point I can keep one in the office and I'm not worried about an expensive custom keyboard being unattended 14 hours a day when I'm not there.This is very compact, and may not be what you need if you use function keys, the 10 key, or other extra keys. It does, however, have a volume knob which I find essential for use with zoom meetings and occasional CBTs to quickly adjust the volume (or mute) without reaching up or some strange function key wigglery.This keyboard, to the average user, feels premium. I have actual premium keyboards, and this is very comfortable for me. The switches are responsive, again to the average keyboard user (YMMV if you're a switch snob like I am), and the keycaps have a pleasant texture. The MDA keycap profile is spot on, and they are double-shot. They are not shine through, but the backlighting (I keep it mono-chromatic, RGB is not my thing) is effective to accent the keys if you're not a touch typist.The cream switches are very nice, again at this price point, and I didn't feel compelled to change the switches (and I didn't). I like the sound, but that's preference, and if you're into keyboard sounds I think these are a real cut above the average keyboard.All in all, I think this is an excellent keyboard at the price point, and better than the other 60% models I've tried around this price. 5/5!

I would very much recommend this keyboard.
Very high quality and very quiet when typing. It was a bit small, but that might be because I had used a large keyboard before. It is not too heavy but not too light.

Great look and feel
Love the color overall design. Keys have a nice chocky sound to them. It does seem to be composite of some sort rather than metal, but it feels sturdy and in use I can't tell. Probably my favorite keyboard right now despite being the least expensive one I have.

Spectacular keyboard, use it any chance I get!
Adore the style and design, awesome colors available, and sounds amazing. Not to obnoxious of a click, but my wife can hear it from the other room.

Well built keyboard, bad company. **edited**
The reason I gave it 2 stars instead of 1, is because of how solidly built it feels. However, just a few months after buying it started to double type. Very consistently, lots of chatter.I then reached out to the seller and gave them a week to respond to my question (i didnt even necessarily ask for a refund, just ideas on how to help). And they never responded. I cannot in good faith recommend buying from a company that has nonexistent customer support.**edit**:Customer service reached out and helped me address my problem. So I have raised.

Shockingly good quality - switches are great
I am super happy that Chinese vendors took up the challenge of building a quality, inexpensive mechanical keyboard. I would have never predicted the build quality and feel of this keyboard. I immediately bought 2 more for my wife and son. I highly recommend this brand of mechanical keyboard.
