Where do i start??????
This keyboard has blown me away with the value-to-cost ratio. I don't understand how this company keeps coming out with banger products. Especially when the competition has similar options for such a higher price. I have bought many big box store keyboards and always return them, and come back to companies like RK and EPOMAKER. This keyboard feels DURABLE, it feels QUALITY, it feels SMOOTH, it feels PREMIUM. The hotswap board means that it is very customizable. You can take it apart and add your own sound-dampening system if you don't like how it comes. But io must say, I purchased some switches to change out the ones in here once I received it, but I never got to it because I am so confident in the ones that come with it originally. They function so buttery. It almost feels too good to type on this keyboard. The size is perfect, the LEDs get pretty bright, but I have found myself leaving them off because the board just looks so good without them. I'm glad I have them in case I ever change my mind. If you're on the edge, just pull the trigger already. You will not be disappointed with this board.I'm actually typing all my reviews on it right now.

IF this is the size keyboard you need/use, this feels and works great!
I like RK's keyboards, at the price point I can keep one in the office and I'm not worried about an expensive custom keyboard being unattended 14 hours a day when I'm not there.This is very compact, and may not be what you need if you use function keys, the 10 key, or other extra keys. It does, however, have a volume knob which I find essential for use with zoom meetings and occasional CBTs to quickly adjust the volume (or mute) without reaching up or some strange function key wigglery.This keyboard, to the average user, feels premium. I have actual premium keyboards, and this is very comfortable for me. The switches are responsive, again to the average keyboard user (YMMV if you're a switch snob like I am), and the keycaps have a pleasant texture. The MDA keycap profile is spot on, and they are double-shot. They are not shine through, but the backlighting (I keep it mono-chromatic, RGB is not my thing) is effective to accent the keys if you're not a touch typist.The cream switches are very nice, again at this price point, and I didn't feel compelled to change the switches (and I didn't). I like the sound, but that's preference, and if you're into keyboard sounds I think these are a real cut above the average keyboard.All in all, I think this is an excellent keyboard at the price point, and better than the other 60% models I've tried around this price. 5/5!

Awesome!
This keyboard is INCREDIBLE TO MOD. The gasket mounting barely does anything, so there is minimal flex. The keycaps are really nice, but one of my keycaps has some scratches on it which are visible when light hits it. The Royal Kludge cream switches that come with this board sound really nice, but they are a bit scratchy. The knob feels good and works well, and the keyboard comes with a thick piece of silicone in the bottom case. The stabilizers are actually perfect feeling, and all keys have a satisfying bottom out feel. I would recommend this keyboard, it is the best out there for under $80, and it can be found for 45 normally. Aesthetics are also amazing as you can tell.

Well built keyboard, bad company. **edited**
The reason I gave it 2 stars instead of 1, is because of how solidly built it feels. However, just a few months after buying it started to double type. Very consistently, lots of chatter.I then reached out to the seller and gave them a week to respond to my question (i didnt even necessarily ask for a refund, just ideas on how to help). And they never responded. I cannot in good faith recommend buying from a company that has nonexistent customer support.**edit**:Customer service reached out and helped me address my problem. So I have raised.

Amazing and well priced
Absolutely love this keyboard. Purchased this one for my first gaming PC and could not be happier. I wanted something that was sleek and matched the walnut finish of my PC case and desk and this color looks great. I also needed something that sounded smooth and wasn't too loud and this meets those needs perfectly.The only issue I have with it is that the customization of the RGB lights within the keyboard can be kind of a hassle. I had to do it through the VIA website, but once I found VIA it was very easy to change the lighting to my liking.
