I spent many hours reading different mechanical keyboard and switch reviews before going and testing some display units in store. I knew I wanted a TKL design and found the cherry mx brown switch to be great. This keyboard with hyperX aqua switches is amazing. The board is metal front and back with raised keys, so the lighting is extremely vibrant. HyperX NGENUITY is also easy to use and gives a wide range of customization for the rgb effects of the board. Great price for a great keyboard! If you’re looking for a first mech keyboard with rgb you can’t go wrong with this one!

HyperX knocked it out of the park with this one right here. Build quality is amazing, to say the least. The Tactile Aqua mechanical switch is sublime, and this is coming from a guy who loves his Cherry switches. I haven't had it for a long time, but the key caps on this bad boy are solid! The implementation of USB Type-C is awesome because you can ditch the included cable and buy a cool custom cable online to fit your build's aesthetic. Lastly, the price was right and the high-quality RGB was a nice touch!

I am beyond satisfied with this keyboard, I wanted a quiet clicky feel and sound (tactile) which is why I went with the tactile aqua switches. Linear switches (cherry) are also nice but it just didn't give that feel that tactile switches do, and man does this keyboard feel so good. It's so satisfying to feel, hear, and look with its amazing RGB. It's also ten keyless (TKL) which makes it more compact and gives me more room on my desk and for aesthetics. It was so good that I had to get white pudding key caps to look even better.

This mechanical keyboard is amazing, the RGB lighting is bright and nice. Although the keyboard is not a full keyboard and the numberpad is missing it is still completely worth the buy.

Their new red mechanical switches feel super smooth and are rated at 80 million presses; this combined with the great rgb controls via their software make it enjoyable to use. It also has a fully metal back panel so it feels really high quality for such a budget board. I love it.

East to install and set up. I purchased this for a customer who had an issue with hands that shook, and her Logitech keyboard was typing multiple characters. This mechanical Keyboard did the trick and put her back in control. I thought the changing LED lights would be distracting for her, but she liked them, so there was no need to change or adjust them.

It is a very sturdy keyboard, great clicks for the keys, still leaves enough room on desk for other supplies. Use for 8 hours a day and it is easily connected to a docking station connected to my MacBook.

I purchased this keyboard as I love the beautiful colored lights and I can see this board in the nightime! I also enjoy the feel of the keys and like the little clicking noise it makes as it assures me that I have pressed the key. It is easy to type fast and it makes typing feel more like fun than a chore!

I just bought it today! So I’m just posting my first impressions, They only had only one in stock. The back plate is gunmetal colored, so the RGB shine looks extraaa ummph...you’ll love it even if you don’t want it, I chose the Red switches for their silent sound and man oh man they feel amazing to type on, i just got use to them so quickly and the keyboard is very well made, you feel the quality while typing it, its feels tough like in a well made fashion. Plus its going for just 69$ which makes it a no brainer!

was referred to this keyboard by the staff at the location. i told them i'm a little rough on keyboards and they suggested this one. I mainly play FPS games and this fits the bill perfectly. had razer products and the 3rd party software was always causing me issues. great thing about this keyboard is you can run it without any 3rd party software and it performs flawless. was skeptical at first now i'm definitely happy i made the right choice.

My kids needed a new keyboard. Since they are gamers thought this would be a great choice for them. The colored keyboard is fun specially if you like the different affects.

this the best keyboards i've ever had. might be biased because i've only ever used the cheap 15$ keyboards. but the mechanical switches feel very premium along with the solid aluminum body that makes it feel i could use it as a weapon if needed. the Ngenuity software sucks really bad (mainly cause it just doesn't update the firmware) but it doesn't do anything i really care about so i don't hold it against the actual keyboard.

I just got into gaming PCs and didn’t want to use the bulky keyboard that came with my pre-built. This is the perfect keyboard for those with a smaller desk, as it doesn’t take up much space. It’s also built with metal and feels sturdy and valuable. The keys were easy to replace with custom key caps. And of course I’m loving the RGB (3 color/scheme options) I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to “downsize” on their keyboard.

I like the tenkeyless design of this keyboard. It fits in my desk's small keyboard drawer beside the mouse. The HyperX keyswitches are tactile like Cherry Blacks. I've had this for several months and thankfully have not experienced any issues with keys failing or the board falling apart. Feels sturdy.

Absolutely in love with this keyboard, RGB is nice but the feel of the keys is really smooth and they sound amazing

Sturdy and has 3 different modes. If the lights r getting annoying u can turn the brightness down all the way until they’re off. Underrated feature is the satisfying click each key makes. Overall great item that can really tie your whole setup together.

Went from a full sized razer blackwidow ultimate to this and let’s just say it was the best decision I’ve made!! Loved having the clicky, green switches from razer but honestly the aqua switches are my favorite I’ve used ever. Very well lit, the software has improved tremendously since release and I haven’t been disappointed yet. Totally recommend!

These aqua switches are worth checking out. I used to have a ducky shine with mx browns, and this feels a heck of a lot better in my opinion. The shorter travel actuation makes it feel extremely responsive. Not much else to say, nice solid shell, and braided cable. Don’t use the software myself, just plugged and went.
