    According to mini-humans, I'm now very cool cause I have a VINTAGE keyboard. The keyboard works great so far, the keys click exactly as satisfyingly as you would imagine. I was looking for something to add to my work from home set-up and opted for this purchase as soon as I saw the color palette and the joysticks. Keyboard isn't too narrow and fits under my laptop stand perfectly. 10/10 would buy again, especially since I got the set discounted. I have mostly been using the wired connector and it was an easy plug and play set-up.

    It's freaking awesome, unless you're a Linux freak, then it's just awesome. Keys are just a skosh too tight, but not bad enough to make me want to replace it. The macros technically will work with Linux, but you have to program them on a windows machine first... and I'm lazy. Aesthetics are a straight... banger... hmmm, it's not a music track but it does click loud enough to make Teams ask me to unmute myself if I want to be heard. Yeah, banger.

    Great mechanical keyboard, I like it better than my Corsair keyboard. Very nice quality and feel to all pieces, its not light and hollow and I imagine will hold up to some abuse for years to come. Seriously I really like this set, the giant A B buttons are fantastic and I use them in POE2 for my health and mana pots. The turn knobs are nice and its awesome to turn the volume up by turning the knob - it just a tactile thing but its nice.

    I had read a lot of reviews that had praised this keyboard, so decided to buy it. I could not agree more with the other high reviews praising this keyboard. I only use the keyboard and not the joystick or buttons, but I am nothing but pleased with the satisfying feel of the keyboard and the quality of it. I highly recommend this keyboard! Already getting compliments at work on the "cool looking retro keyboard".

    I love this keyboard. It's a got a beautiful, nostalgic design. It's also very clicky, but the switches are hot-swappable if you like it quieter. The software however is frustratingly buggy and slow.

    The keyboard itself is excellent. I love the sound that the switches make and it feels great to type on. The style looks wonderfully NES-retro. Deducting a star for the following reasons: the joystick is not very well built; it frequently falls apart when gaming, there is no switch between PC and Mac mode, so using the command button is awkward when using with a Mac, does not appear to be hot swappable switches.

    If you are a fan of mechanical keyboards but want a more retro look, this is the keyboard. The switches are white and it has a nice tactile feel to it. They pretty responsive. It does include the joystick and A/B buttons. And you can program it to use it for different settings. So far pretty good keyboard for the price amd its well built

    This keyboard is a great value and the build quality is outstanding. The keys are responsive and there was certainly care and consideration taken into account when making this product. The retro NES inspired theme is a great touch and I have loved using this with Steam OS as the designated keyboard for my Steam Deck.
