The PBT keycaps feels great. I personally don’t like the typing to be too loud so this red switch is actually perfect. Should’ve bought this ages ago instead of wasting money on other cheaper brands. I love the compact 90% layout too.

Great transaction! “Machenike” is a recommendable seller. Honestly, at first I was hesitant to go on with the deal, yet I found myself amused and comfortable. The K500 Mechanical Keyboard that I bought for my friend was dope and totally worth-it! Thank you so much.

Bought this for my work as the stock keyboards tend to be crappy. It does the job, it’s plug and play so no complaints so far.

I guess it's reasonable for a beginner but changing the switches are such a pain. only 3 pin hotswappable so ok. the stabilisers are extremely rattlely so have to mod them. overall ok I just bought to experiment on how much better I can make it sound. Added plate form and PCB foam to make it all better.

very good delivery and purchasing of 10.10!!!! easily change keyboard colours and clicking sound is good as well. \n\nOne big issue though because i needed the second ‘del’ button for my work usage but it doesn’t work… not sure why, beware if you needed the key of ‘del’ instead of backspacing!

pretty nice keyboard for its price. buttons are nice and clicky but are not over-the-top. the keyboard provides enough customisation for the backlights. comes with a manual for all the different customisations too.

I love the compact 90% layout. The PBT keycaps feel great to touch, sound of keyboards were soft, the touch is classic to old keyboards (if you know what I mean) and the RGB backlight looks amazing! Just hope that it is both wired and wireless, then it will be 200x amazing!

Delivery was super fast. Set up was easy and quick since it's just a simple USB connection. a decent keyboard for the price. The keys are slightly stiffer than my other mechanical keyboards with brown switches, but will get used to it over time. The grey keycaps make it hard to see the keys though, might switch them out.

The quality is superb! Space bar sounds and feels amazing compared to the others jn the market and the choice and freedom with the lighting is amazing with us own software too. It also has 2 extra switches as seen in the photo but would’ve been nice if the keycap puller is not like those plastic, still no complaints quality is just *chefs kiss*👌

Delivery took about 1 week. Came without bubble wrap so the box is dented quite abit. Luckily the keyboard and spare switches are unharmed.\n\nKeyboard is pretty light and slightly hollow, but RGB is crisp 👍🏻 Haven't explored modding this keyboard, so look it up on YT\n

Sorry about the mess on my desk and also dust.\n\nFirst of all, I bought this keyboard because I need space for my desk and also my mouse too. \n\nThey did give free extra switches, keycap puller and also switches puller.\n\nAlso can Hot swappable. In the future, I may or may not upgrade for new switches and soften the impact of the keyboard.\n\nDelivery - Is in a warehouse. Fast to me. the carrier did message me that The package has arrived at my door step. Really thoughtful of them.
