60% Mechanical Gaming Keyboard,White Black Blue Keycaps Gaming Keyboard with Linear Red Switch, Detachable Type-C Cable Mini Keyboard with Blue LED Light for Windows/Mac/PC/Laptop

This keyboard was good for a few weeks but the USB cable connection is of poor quality and has developed a fault. The fit of the lead is very loose. The computer now regularly loses it connection to the keyboard and will either not register a keystroke or worse still will lose connection while the key is pressed and not register when you let go. We would like to replace the keyboard as it is faulty but this doesn't appear to be an option. Hopefully we'll have a response from the manufacturer and get the chance to replace it. This was a Christmas present so my Granddaughter didn't receive it until late December.

This is a review of my journey seeking a decent 60 key keyboard and not having to mortgage the house doing it. The question I posed in the title whether this spells goodbye to one of the most popular keyboards around is rhetorical, not saying that it means that, but maybe this is a decent alternative for those who just don’t have the budget to spend it all on a keyboard. My grandpa had a typewriter repair business after he retired and I learned to type before I could write. I was an early believer in home computers and owned one of the first (Andy Kay was my neighbor). So I’m saying that I have had my fingers on a lot of keyboards, and I’ll say right now that most current ones are garbage. Most of them try to force the user into changing what’s natural for what’s trendy. And the current retro trend happens to be mechanical keyboards, some of which cost stratospheric prices but are stamped out by the millions. The manufacturers take delight in all of the various colors and variations within the colors for their switches and even more variations for their keycaps. The trend now is dropping the numeric keypad (but not the price) by going to 75 keys and now to 60 keys (this one has 61) but again the prices stay in the stratosphere. So along comes this unknown brand that I was able to get on prime day for twenty bucks, that’s a full hundred bucks less than the one that it openly copies in almost every way, I could buy six of these for the price of one of theirs. So we all await with baited breath to know the secret, is it ok, junk or did I just save a hundred and get virtually the same thing? This is my first 60 key keyboard. I’m a writer who doesn’t want or need dedicated numeric keys and there are some keys that I have never once used. Go ahead, admit it, the same is true with you, when was the last time you used the SysRq key, and what the heck is it actually? As one who writes, not games, not internet surfs (well ok I do that) I want to know that when I press a key down that a letter appears on my screen. I want a keyboard that I can put my touch typist fingers on and all of the keys are where they are supposed to be. I want a keyboard that I am not constantly pressing some key that makes me go back and fix things I didn’t want to do, which happened every day on the keyboard I just disconnected. But I don’t want to spend $120.00 to do it if I don’t have to (but I will if I do have to). So I looked at dozens of brands and none of them got it right except the Air 60 which put the right keys in the right place and made them the right size and shape. The only thing is they are one of the most frustrating places on earth to buy from, everything they do seems to be an inside joke that only they get but they just can’t sit still and tell us in plain simple language what all of their dozens of configurations and options mean. But in my life, if something is worth a too high price I’ll buy it. So I tried it and I compared it to this one. There are a few minor differences and I know that purists are going nuts that I can’t appreciate a thonk from a clack. Actually I can and really, it is too close to call between the two. WHAT I DON’T LIKE So hey, I am not a copywriter for this brand and they didn’t give me anything, they don’t even know who I am. I paid full price, okay a little less because of prime day, but my own money. So what I’m saying is what I believe. But it’s not all sunshine and lollipops. I was impressed by all of what’s in the box, I was impressed by first impressions (does that make sense?) But there are some very small things, like for example, although this keyboard is surprisingly heavy and solid for its size it doesn’t have feet at the back to tilt it. As you get it there is some degree of tilt and it’s not that I don’t like it but I would like to be able to go at just a little more of an angle. Second, although I type by touch I like to still see the lettering on the keys. These are bold and beautiful and would be perfect except when I turn the backlight on and the blue light makes the character on the keys almost disappear. I also wish that they didn’t print the helpers for the brightness levels on the key caps with symbols of the sun. I have to read the other multi-use keys, why not make these just lettering or maybe arrow symbols. I do love however that even with the lighting turned totally down to zero the Caps Lock key lights up when activated, that’s good design. YES NO MAYBE This is one amazingly good keyboard for the price. No it may not be as customizable, the bottom doesn’t come off to put foam rubber inside and I can hear a difference between the near perfect sound of the red switches on every key except the spacebar, and I’m very sensitive to loud loose spacebars. This one isn’t loose, it just has a different tone to it that messes up my creative thinking. I can’t imagine thinking buying this was a mistake unless your expectations are as big as your wallet. I think it’s a great value and it also happens to be an almost great keyboard.

As soon as I pulled this board out of the box, I was impressed with the quality for the price. Although it's a completely plastic body, it's solid. The red switches in this board didn't feel too bad, but I did end up lubing them. The caps were good quality, and the overall feel was very nice quality. I'm always amazed when I buy a keyboard under $30, and it comes with a USB-C and the quality is better than some I've gotten that were over twice as much. I bout an Ajazz off here that was $60, and it had a hard-wired cable, and the quality didn't feel near as good as this one does. If you're on a budget and looking for a 60% board for gaming, then this is a great choice right here!

Really nice keys. Soft keys.
