I've never had a mechanical keyboard before, but wanted to invest in a nicer keyboard because I spend about 1/3 of every day typing. While I considered other keyboards, I ended up picking this one because of its flexibility/modifiability while still being 100% beginner-friendly. I got a good bargain by purchasing used, so I paid only $51--at that price it really can't be beat.
It was hard to find an "entry-level" mechanical keyboard that was high-quality without ridiculous rainbow glowy lights all over it. (Sure, RGB features on those blinged-out gaming keyboards can be disabled, but then it feels like I'm paying a premium for a feature I didn't even want.) This keyboard ticks all the boxes for me and has been a delight to use so far.
Pros:
- The stock keycaps feel high quality. Of course they're replaceable too, if they ever wear out or I want a change.
- Pleasantly subtle color scheme. No rainbow glowy lights. They even include extra ESC keycaps if you don't like the orange one it comes with.
- Switches and stabilizers feel buttery smooth to me, but I am a mechanical keyboard newbie, so I'm comparing it to the cheap scissor-mechanism keyboards I'm used to.
- Wired USB-C with a replaceable cable. I hate Bluetooth keyboards and mice, and far prefer a trusty plug-n-play peripheral like this that never needs a battery or disconnects itself at inconvenient times. It Just... Works.
Info:
- Can switch between Mac and Windows/Linux layout on the fly. Extra keycaps for alt/option/command/WIN are included too so you can set it up for your preferred layout.
- I won't be using the keyboard backlight much, since even when I program in the dark I'm still touch-typing. But occasionally I gotta hunt-and-peck some special function key, so I guess it's nice to have. It has several silly/aesthetic lighting patterns that I will never use, haha.
- I chose Brown switches and am happy with them, though they are slightly louder than I was expecting. (Mechanical keyboard nerds aren't lying when they wax enthusiastic about the satisfying clackety noises.) The hot-swappable feature means a noob like me can try different switches without having to solder, if I were so inclined.
Cons:
- Keycaps are ABS plastic, which tends to be less durable than PBT and will attract finger oils over time. (Though since they are removable, can easily clean or replace them.)
- Maybe the loudness of the switches is a con if you are in an open plan office; though with some practice I think I can learn to type more quietly on these Brown switches, since they require less forceful presses and are more precise than basic cheapo keyboards I've used until now.
I never expected to feel so positively about a basic computer peripheral! Guess I'm a mech keyboard enthusiast now?

Solid Value Mechanical Keyboard
The keyboard provides a lot of extras that you don't find with mechanical keyboards at this price range - hot swappable switches, a physical switch for OSX or Windows, and white backlight. In the box, you get windows keycaps if you need are a windows user - it comes with OSX keycaps in place. Also included is, usb-c to usb-a adapter keycap puller and switch puller. I don't care for wireless keyboards but if you're looking for one, this one will not work for you. I'm not a gamer and this is for work so I not sure how if it's any good for that.I like the different key cap color layout, it gives some style and variety in color. I don't really need backlighting for my keyboard but it's a nice touch and you can cycle through a various lighting configurations. One thing to keep in mind is if you turn on the backlighting the emitted light is uneven with the white and black keycaps. This keyboard is lighter then the one I have in the office but that's not a bad thing. The lip at the front fo the keyboard is lower than some of the other mechanical keyboards out there but I did end up getting a wrist support for it.The gateron brown switches are little more mushy compared to outemu brown switches. My only other complaint is when I undock my laptop and keep the keyboard plugged in, I cannot seem to turn off the background light. Not a big deal since I can just unplug the keyboard from the dock but it's something I noticed.

Mi primer teclado mecánico, no me arrepiento
Reviewed in Mexico on March 8, 2022Color: Hot-swap Gateron G Pro Brown SwitchVerified Purchase

Reviewed in Mexico on March 8, 2022
El paquete llegó 10 días antes de lo esperado, en una caja de cartón sin relleno. Creo que por seguridad deberían ponerle relleno de plástico o más papel. La caja estaba intacta e incluía todo lo que se menciona en la descripción.
Configurarlo es súper rápido. Aunque este teclado en particular esta enfocado en dispositivos Apple, sólo tuve que cambiar el switch a Windows y también cambié las teclas con las que vienen incluidas. Y sí, el teclado está en inglés, primera vez que ocupo uno con este formato, pero si te sabes las teclas de memoria no deberías de tener ningún problema (al menos ese es mi caso). Y por cierto, si te gustaría ocupar "fn lock" (porque no viene por defecto), tienes que pulsar FN + X + L al mismo tiempo hasta que el teclado parpadee.
Al estar investigando decidí conseguir un teclado "Hot swap" para que yo lo pueda modificar si en algún momento me decido a hacerlo. Viene con interruptores cafés, que son silenciosos pero táctiles para escribir ya que yo no lo ocupo para gaming. Aunque muchas personas prefieren el sonido de los "rojos" porque son más silenciosos, en lo personal me encantaron los cafés, el volumen que produce es muy similar a un teclado de membrana normal de oficina.
Aunque me hubiera gustado conseguir la versión RGB, la luz blanca es muy buena y con muchos efectos. Mi favorito es el que se ilumina por cada tecla que presiono de forma individual.
He estado pensando hacerle una modificación y meterle una esponjilla para reducir la resonancia, pero esto dependerá de cada quien ya que si algo le ocurre al teclado en el proceso, la garantía no es válida.
Puntos negativos:
- Me gustaría que en el manual tuviera más detallado las funciones de las teclas del lado de las flechas
- El empaque debería tener más cosas para proteger la caja del teclado.
- No tiene software nativo para cambiar funciones, se tiene que ocupar "sharp keys" pero afecta a todos tus teclados
En conclusión, es una excelente compra por si es tu primer teclado mecánico y también si piensas en un futuro modificarlo a tu gusto o reparar fácilmente teclas que dejen de funcionar.
