Affordable, Sleek, and Cute!
The media could not be loaded. I love this keyboard so much! Honestly, I bought it to replace my Razer Blackwidow and I definitely don't regret it :) if you're looking for a decently priced keyboard for your games and every day tasks, I highly recommend this one! Especially the brown switches lol

It's good, but I had to fix the sticking space bar
This is a good mechanical gaming keyboard. Mine had a sticking space bar out of the box, but I was able to fix it.The feeling of the keys is what you'd expect from a keyboard with red "Cherry MX" style switches, with no click feedback as you'd get with blue switches. I actually prefer blue switches for typing and general work, but I think red is better for gaming. The keyboard I received uses red Kailh box switches instead of Cherry-branded switches.The keyboard does have N-key rollover, but it was not enabled by default on mine. There's actually a setting to toggle between N key and 6 key rollover (it's Fn + backtick). I suspect this is for compatibility reasons. I didn't have any problems with missed key presses, which is a problem encountered from time to time with some keyboards. The manual says the polling is 1000 Hz. I'm not sure if that's true, but whatever it is seems good enough for gaming purposes.The keyboard is bluish-white LED backlit, which I prefer to colored LEDs. You can cycle through the fancy patterns with various Fn key combinations or set all the keys to fully on (which is what I do). You can also adjust the brightness of the backlight.Included are both keycap and key switch puller tools. The latter can be used to pull the actual switches out of the keyboard as they are not soldered. This is good because you can swap a bad switch with a good, less-frequently used one if the need arises. This helped with my space bar repair.The keyboard has two-stage feet on the underside so you can set it at either medium or high elevation. It's also got a braided, non-removable USB cable which is nice, but I would have preferred a removable USB-C cable.Bottom line is, it's a good gaming keyboard when it's working. I shouldn't have to fix a brand new product, but I suppose this is an example of how mechanical keyboards can have long lives as they can be repaired easily.

Excellent mechanical keyboard
I've only been using the Hexgears GK715 keyboard for a few hours, but I'm already really impressed with it. It's a great keyboard for both gaming and typing, and it's also very affordable.The first thing I noticed about the GK715 is that it's very well built (built like a tank, actually). The case is made of high-quality aluminum, and the keycaps are made of ABS plastic. The keyboard feels very solid and sturdy, and it doesn't flex at all when I'm typing or gaming.The GK715 has a full-sized layout, which means that it has all the keys that you need for everyday use. Nevertheless, it's still compact enough to fit on a relatively small desk. The keyboard also has a high-quality USB-C cable, which makes it easy to connect and use.One of the things that I really like about the GK715 is the hot-swappable switches. This means that I can easily swap out the switches for different ones if I want to change the feel of the keyboard. I've been using the Gateron Browns that came with the keyboard, and I'm really happy with them. They're tactile and smooth, and they're perfect for both gaming and typing.The GK715 also has a lot of features that are great for gamers. It has full N-key rollover, which means that all of your keystrokes will always register, even if you're pressing multiple keys at the same time. The keyboard also has a polling rate of 1000Hz, so it can register your keystrokes very quickly.Overall, I'm really impressed with the Hexgears GK715 keyboard. It's a great keyboard for both gaming and typing, and it's also relatively affordable. If you're looking for a new keyboard, I highly recommend checking it out.Here are some pros and cons of the Hexgears GK715 keyboard:Pros:Well-builtDecent valueHot-swappable switchesFull N-key rollover1000Hz polling rateComes with a detachable USB-C cableABS keycaps that are made exceptionally well and compare favorably to more expensive PBT keycaps.Cons:The keyboard is not backlitI know that ABS keycaps are often viewed as inferior to PBT keycaps, but I was really impressed with the quality of the ABS keycaps on the GK715. They're thick and durable, and they have a nice, smooth texture.Overall, I think the Hexgears GK715 keyboard is a good value for the price. It's well-built, affordable, and has a lot of features that are great for gamers. If you're looking for a new keyboard, I highly recommend checking it out.

Love it!
I love this keyboard. It feels good and types well.Ever since I got back into mechanical keyboards a few years ago I've been primarily using brown switches. I mostly took a stab in the dark thinking I didn't want something too clacky when on calls with my coworkers, but I didn't know enough about red switches at the time to know if I'd like the absence of that "feel" when it hits the bump. But, these red switches feel fantastic. There's a nice clean linear feel to the switches and even though they don't have that little bump the browns do when typing I still feel the typing very solidly and as the keys fully engage you still get a little bit of a sound.The first time I plugged in this keyboard the keys lit up in a dance that circled all around the keyboard before fully lighting up. I could tell whomever designed it was having fun with that detail. There are multiple lighting modes but I decided to stick with just always on due to the fact that my office space isn't as well lit as I would like. That extra light from the keys just helps me home in on home row faster.The keyboard layout is Windows. I hooked it up to my Mac for work and just had to go into the keyboard settings on my Mac and swap the option and command keys around to make it work the way I'm used to. After that everything has been fine. The function keys work like function keys (which is great when I'm coding) and with the fn modifier all the media keys work as labeled on the function keys.The casing is plastic all around but the keyboard still has a pretty solid feel to it. It came with a keycap puller and a key puller tool. I gave both a small test and they work just fine. I was able to easily remove and replace keycaps and pull out the switches too and then put them back. I'm not sure how long it will take me to wear out any of the switches, but that is a nice feature that you can swap them out.
