Blue switches and good keyboard overall its a 85% keyboard and its pretty good for people with small hands

Great keyboard with an amazing build. Was honestly surprised with how good it was for such an affordable price. It even has bright rgb. Would recommend

I have carpel tunnel in both wrists. This has proven to be an issue with some camera bodies as well as with other seemingly mundane tasks. Like typing. The problem for typing is the general lack of feeling in the finger tips. I learned touch-typing back in high-school and find today's keyboards to be nearly impossible to type on. The keyboards are flat, have no real tactile response and have minimal (2mm typical) movement. And because of the short 2mm movement, they tend to be a little stiffer. It's really hard for me to type anymore. The standard keyboard is a membrane style keyboard where you press down on this rubber dome with conductor inside and it shorts across a contact on the motherboard. There are a couple of styles of this, but these membrane switches generally have very poor tactile response. The better ones do have a give point where they resist up to a point then will plunge quickly. Other ones are totally linear in response. Another factor of the membrane style switch is that they generally don't last as long. Stepping up to a mechanical keyboard of pretty much any style switch is a different world. The switches themselves come in variations of three flavors: Clicky, Linear and Tactile. The Cherry MX switches are the standard ones out there with other manufacturers building switches of similar types. Clicky: (Cherry MX Blue) is the closest thing to an old-style typewriter keyboard you will encounter. It's loud, but is completely natural to any of us who mastered typing on typewriters. The aural feedback is great for those who have little feeling left in their fingers as you can hear whether or not the key is pressed. Linear: (Cherry MX Red) is better for gamers as the buttons have no half-press catch to them. They just plunge down. Similar to the membrane switches, but without the bump. I wasn't particularly fond of this style switch as it didn't really address all of my particular needs. But for gaming, yeah, Reds Rock! Horrible for touch-typing though. Tactile: (Cherry MX Brown) is probably the nicest compromise. These switches are somewhat Linear, but with a half-press bump. Depending on the brand/model, they may have some aural feedback. I had narrowed the selection down to three keyboards: The "HyperX Alloy FPS" with MX Blue (clicky) switches, the "Logitech G513" with Romer-G Tactile switches, and one of the "Razer" Blackwidow keyboards with their green tactile/clicky switches. While each had distinct advantages, it really was a toss-up between all of them. I think the Razer's keyboard had ever so slightly better keys as they provide the clickiness that I needed, but weren't nearly as LOUD as the MX Blue switches nor was the plunge distance the same. The Logitech was good, but I couldn't quite place why I wasn't getting along with it. In the absence of the Razer and HyperX, I would have been pleased with the Logitech, although the software is problematic as I need to maximum use this keyboard on multiple computers, including my work one that I can't load other drivers on. I ended up purchasing the HyperX Alloy FPS with MX Cherry Blue switches. The keyboard is the right size (no extra keys, no programmable extra buttons, no drivers, no software). It is backlit, with multiple brightness and pattern options, but is red LED only. It's a heavy keyboard with a steel faceplate. The keys have the right curvature to them (and appropriate stepped profile from one row to the next) and respond well to off-axis pressing. These days, I would like slightly less force required for pressing the keys, these MX Blue switches allow me to raise my fingers up more off the keys like I used to and punch down on them instead of just rolling down on them. Exactly like the old days. The fact that the HyperX was also one of the least expensive keyboards didn't hurt either. I will say that the keyboard is definitely LOUD. Not a keyboard for use in an office environment with others around. I am working out of the house most of the time, so it matters little to me how much noise the keyboard makes. Regardless, my typing speed is probably 20 wpm faster than before, so it's a HUGE win. I had purchase the full HyperX Alloy FPS keyboard with numeric keypad. I liked it so much that several weeks later, I purchased the “Pro” model without the numeric keypad. This reduced size keyboard fits into my computer bag very easily and goes with me almost everywhere. Both have the MX Blue key switches. The only item I would consider missing from the “Pro” model is the carry bag. The full-size keyboard has a nice carry sleeve included in the packaging, but the smaller keyboard does not. Highly Recommended.

This is an amazing keyboard and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a Cherry MX Blue keyboard. The only downsides are that a few of the keys have a metallic springy sound when you click them (for me it's the 2 key) and that the RGB backlighting is hardly customizable. It can only be red and only has a few different settings. Other than that it is a great keyboard at a good price.

not a 60 % keyboard but performs just as good as a ducky one 2 mini. It is fully mechanical with 5 different led modes. I personally love the blue cherry mxs. Great keyboard for the price. Would definitely recommend it for fortnite, valorant, krunker etc...

I remember when, only just a few years ago to get this level of quality you'd have to pay twice as much. I'm very happy with the keyboard and it was a good upgrade coming from Kalih Brown switches. Noticeable improvement!

I absolutely love this keyboard! it was affordable and came super fast in the mail! it works like a dream and I will definitely be buying from Best Buy and also this brand as well.

This is a good mechanical keyboard at half the price of usual competitors such as ducky one. It doesn't have as many features as they do, but it does the job of being mechanical. Only one con is the space bar glitched out on me once, but the next day it worked normally.

Bought this keyboard for daily use as I type all day long. Cherry blue switches are fantastic, after a day or two of adjusting to the switch type I’ve noticed my typing improve.

This keyboard is great it’s very loud. Small and good for competitive gaming for example Fortnite and rainbow six fell great on it. Overall I rate it 5/5

Now that I'm working at home all the time I thought I deserved a quality keyboard. This is it. It's heavy & doesn't slide around. The red keys are great for low light. The layout is ideal for those who don't use a keypad -- more room for the mouse. The one surprise was how loud the keyclicks are. I guess that's what they mean by a "mechanical keyboard" but it's very different than a laptop keypad: each key moves down a noticable distance and clacks at the bottom. They hear you typing in the next room for sure! Still, now that I'm used to it, I like it.

Perfect board, easy to clean would recommend. It would be nice if a RGB option was offered

This little 10 keyless board is a great piece of machinery. I have only had this board for a couple of days but I’ve used it quite a lot and I love it. The build quality is excellent and I’m a huge fan of the 10 keyless design. It is very loud though because of the blue switches so if that is not your thing this is not the board for you but for crazy people like me this board is a 10/10. I’m a huge fan.

The build quality is very high on it and it's also very easy to clean with a can of compressed air. Personally would've preferred the Full sized keyboard but space was a premium. For a lot of mechanical keyboards you can easily spend much more money for things like individually addressable RGB and macros but for less than $75 you can have a good, high quality keyboard that works just as well.

Awesome Keyboard for the price!! High quality! Easy to use!

Great keyboar ever intested its work perfect and the red switch are pretty awesome

I have had really enjoyed this keyboard. I came from a membrane regular keyboard and now I can't go back. It is a great typing experience. I game with this keyboard and it is great. The only con is there is no numpad, but if you don't have the desk space it is a great trade off.

Its mechanical feel of the key switch cherry mx blue has a tactile bump when you feel it ..you know that the key switch has been actuated. It has great back lighting & effects.

Decided to go with the Blue switches and they're great! The keyboard feels solid and heavy duty. The keys have such a satisfying feel and sound when I type. At first, I thought I would miss having a numberpad, but I'm liking the extra space on my desk with this TKL keyboard. It has a nice sleek and compact aesthetic.

Overall a very great keyboard I would recommend anyone wanting a keyboard that’s not expensive.
