Quite mechanical keyboard
This keyboard is the second mechanical keyboard this year. The color is attractive and the design looks great, compact and space-saving. With great tactile feedback, it types smoothly. It is quiet when you type so it works for office as well.

Great feel and features for the price
Let me start by saying I would classify myself as a bit of a keyboard snob, at least compared to the average person. I’m not one of those people who has a shelf full of keyboards that cost hundreds, but I do care about the details, so that’s where I’m coming from in this review.My ‘daily driver’ keyboard is one that I built myself from the board up. I installed the switches, tried a dozen keycaps before I found what fit me, upgraded the stabilizers, lubed them, and programmed them to work as I wanted. I’m using silent browns (don’t judge me).This keyboard won’t replace my daily driver, but that isn’t why I got it. I gave it 5 stars not because it is the best keyboard I’ve ever used, but because it checks all the boxes for the price point and does exaclty what i expect a keyboard at this cost to do. I would go as far as to say that this is perhaps the best membrane keyboard I’ve used.The good…- The ‘feel’ of this keyboard when typing is surprisingly nice. You can ‘feel’ the key when you press it, and it feels better than *some* mechanical switches I’ve used (I really hate linear switches, I need some positive input).- The color (I got green) is really pleasant. It’s soft and inviting, and I love it. – The choice between wired vs. dongle vs. Bluetooth option is awesome. This will replace a keyboard for my server that usually ends up having the wire stretched across the room when something “breaks” (otherwise known as I changed the wrong setting) – so the 2.4ghz dongle will be at play here.- The keyboard layout is nice, it includes all the important keys, but doesn’t take up too much desk space. My normal keyboard is an 80% layout, and this feels pretty familiar. The arrow keys and number keys are close to the main keyboard.- The lighting is a nice touch, it’s understated rather than overwhelming.The (not so) bad…- The spot for the USB-C plug is in an awkward position, just above the F12 key. I prefer this to be either on the far left or the far right. I have a small screen that sits directly in front of the keyboard, and the wire position makes it a bit annoying (going wireless fixes this)- One of the foot pads was missing (see pictures) when I took it out of the box. Luckily, it was in the box and reattached with just a press.- It took me a minute to find the dongle; it’s got a spot to carry it inside the keyboard (which probably belongs in the ‘good’ section. – The letters feel like they are printed on, I can feel them when typing, so I expect they will eventually wear off after a bunch of use.- Even after a few hours of use, I noticed more occurrences of ‘teh’ vs ‘the’. That’s par for the course with a membrane keyboard, though. Overall, I am really pleased with this keyboard for my use case. I like the look, the feel, and the understanding that it’s a budget membrane keyboard – it’s really quite nice.- The cable it comes with is a USB A -> USB C, instead of USB C on both ends.

Disappointing “mechanical feel” keyboard.
Let me start off with the positives. This keyboard looks nice. It has a cute color scheme that I like. The body is fairly solid considering the price point as well although it’s far from being a super premium feeling keyboard. The connection is easy and quick and the keyboard feels fairly responsive. It’s a fairly quiet keyboard.The negatives are that it doesn’t feel anything like a mechanical keyboard. It doesn’t feel tactile at all. It feels very mushy. I did not like the feel at all. You can definitely tell that it’s a membrane keyboard.Overall it’s a decent value. I personally wouldn’t buy it again.
