Easy to type with and very satisfying sound. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice sound and looks nice too *by K***S on 1 August 2025* When it comes to keyboards, I am a bit of a snob😅. If the keyboard isn’t exactly how I want it to sound, look or feel, I aren’t happy with it. After using dozens of keyboards over the last few years, I got this one and I haven’t had one since. The colour options aren’t amazing as they can be limited without the software that can be installed but they are still good. The brightness of the backlight is also quite nice, can be changed from fairly dim to quite bright which suits a lot of people. The build quality and size cannot be argued against as it feels quite high quality and fits nicely on all smaller and even some bigger desks. It is very easy to setup, just like most keyboards, you just plug it in and start gaming, the only issue that I have had with it so far is that without knowing how to use it properly, it can be difficult to do things such as using certain keys that require a combination of keys to be pressed rather than just one (e.g. the f1-f10 keys) Overall, very solid keyboard for any gamer. Nice build, works very well and it just nice to use. ## Frequently Bought Together - RK ROYAL KLUDGE R65 Wired Mechanical Keyboard, 60% Percent Creamy Gaming Keyboard Gasket Mount RGB Backlit with Programmable Knob, MDA Profile PBT Keycaps, QMK/VIA, Hot Swappable Linear Switch, Cyan - Logitech G305 LIGHTSPEED Wireless Gaming Mouse, Hero 12K Sensor, 12,000 DPI, Lightweight, 6 Programmable Buttons, 250h Battery Life, On-Board Memory, PC/Mac - White - JIKIOU Upgrade Leather Cloud Keyboard Wrist Rest, Cloud Wrist Rest with Non-Slip PU Base, Comfortable Memory Foam Wrist Rest for Computer Laptop Mac Gaming Office and Pain Relief Wish New Year Gift --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.us/products/627776565-r65-wired-mechanical-keyboard-with-knob-60-percent-qmk-via](https://www.desertcart.us/products/627776565-r65-wired-mechanical-keyboard-with-knob-60-percent-qmk-via) --- *Product available on Desertcart United States of America* *Store origin: US* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
