    I will only buy this keyboard from now on.

    I am currently typing this review on this keyboard. After searching about a month for the perfect keyboard and returning multiple keyboards, I have found mine!! I absolutely love this keyboard, I have found out that I type so much faster and make less typos. I did not purchase this for gaming, I needed a new keyboard for my office because, I couldn't stand the Logitech keyboard I had it was just too noisy. I was also looking for a mechanical looking keyboard without that clacky noise that was quiet but still had sound, I love how the keys feel smooth & sound when you type, which I like, and it doesn't bother my co workers. The colors were a added bonus they are beautiful I like how you can customize the color scheme to your liking. Lets not forget about the price!! Its so affordable its amazing this will definitely be my go to keyboard. Overall this is just a really nice keyboard to type with, I get really excited when I have to type things, because I love how the keys feel & sound. I get so many compliments on my keyboards, I bought two because I work out of two offices. I highly recommend this keyboard for anyone who wants a mechanical looking keyboard but doesn't want that loud clacking noise.

    Quiet, cute, and better than I expected

    I was looking for a quiet keyboard to use for work. I am in a lot of meetings and am always taking notes, but don't want people in the meetings to hear me clacking loudly on the other side. This keyboard is the perfect! I also alternate between having short nails and long nails, and I'm able to use this no matter what length my nails are with minimum errors! The ability to change the backlight is also cool and great to toggle with when it gets darker. Before this I was using an ergonomic logitech keyboard. The larger one was too loud, and the smaller sleek one I can't use when my nails are long. I'm going to be sticking with this keyboard.

    Great product! Fulfills all my expectations

    I bought this keyboard couple days back and even though the delivery got postponed I got my package a few days later. I opened the package and to my amazement it looked fantastic. I really like the presets and even though there are a limited amount of options (6), this is far better than any other keyboard you will get for $40. This is a perfect budget option keyboard and I really recommend it to anyone that doesn't want to spend a lot of money on a keyboard. Great product!
