20 Best Hot Swappable 65 Keyboard (2023 Updated)

A very pleasant typing experience. It’s nice and compact with good switches and can connect to 3 different devices which is great. Also works in wired mode. Definitely better than an Apple magic keyboard.

The battery life could be better, but is by no means bad (with full brightness RGB backlight on). The backlight is not as bright as it probably should be, but if the room is dark its easy to see.

I had to disable the light key as it is where I default to for the delete key and very easy to bump setting off an explosion of light. Fairly easy to disable but still it’s position is unfortunate. At first the Bluetooth worked well but after some fiddling with settings it went wonky (slow) and I had to resort to using the cable.

Maybe something else on my desk is interfering – not sure. Overall it feels great to use. I am very happy with it.

Brown switches are tactile and the noise is low, great quality, easy to hot swap caps and switches. The weight feels nice and the charge lasts long enough to forget about it. Looks awesome. Save yourself the headache and make sure you’ve set it to the correct Mac/Windows with the little switch on the top left.

Bluetooth did freak-out once, but that could have been due to multiple reasons and has otherwise been solid in staying connected and responsiveness.

I wasn’t planning to get this keyboard; however it was on sale, and I can honestly say I’ve never had a keyboard this good before. It’s ridiculously responsive, clicky-in-all-the-right ways (I get a tingle down my spine after typing some things), and yet it doesn’t feel like I am hammering away at some old mechanical switches.

It feels like typing on air, each key moving with the lightest touch, but not in a spongy way like some other keyboards. It’s like the button moves down just enough to match your finger, and it knows just when you mean to click, and when you don’t.

At first it was a little oversensitive, but I’ve honestly adjusted super quickly because of how fantastic it is. Plus, again, the audio feedback is very nice. Also, while I wasn’t sold on the wrist rest at first, it is honestly nice to have.

All in all, this keyboard is so good that my work keyboard is starting to become unbearable in comparison. Build quality is excellent and durable, with no obvious defects. Lighting is gorgeous, vibrant, and easily tweaked in Razer Synapse.

The only cons I can see are that some of the key symbols (like those accessed by hitting the shift key) are not backlit, which can make more complex typing difficult in low-light conditions. Also, there is no USB passthrough, which would be nice given that this takes two USB ports on your computer.

All that said, it’s a fantastic keyboard, and I love it to death.

I’m an engineer by trade so I spend a lot of time on computers doing programming and such. I was looking for a new keyboard for a setup at home. I bought this keyboard because it seemed to have the nicest response when I tried it compared to the other brands in store.

I bought the purple “clicky” version. I’ve used mechanical gaming keyboards at work and home for years because the response and feel is just so much better than membrane. I hooked it up at work to test it out, in place of a mechanical keyboard that used similiar switches to cherry mx blue.

I definitely prefer this keyboard over that one. It just feels so much smoother and not quite as loud. The keyboard I had been using at home used romer-G switches, which I liked. But the switches on the Razer seem to be the perfect combination of those and the blues.

I would say this is the best keyboard I have used. I wasn’t sure if I would like the wrist rest but so far it has been nice and comfortable. The lighting effects are pleasing to the eye and don’t seem overdone.

The build quality seems top notch. I could take or leave the volume control. I would normally use the volume control built into my headset but if I was using external speakers it may be more useful.

This is my first experience with a mechanical keyboard, and even more-so, my first experience with a legit gaming keyboard. I really use this for work-related tasks, but perhaps will get into some gaming with it in the future.

The tactile nature of the keys feels absolutely amazing. I am in no way great at typing, but I am ok enough to get satisfaction out of a great feeling keyboard like this. It isn’t overly noisy, but it does have an audible click to it, especially when you type more quickly.

I again am not using this for gaming, and really don’t have an opinion on the RGB gaming type accessories. I do, though enjoy the different colors I can have that sort of breaks the monotony. The functionality is somewhat simple in that there are keystrokes that will engage and change the basic profiles preset in the keyboard, itself.

There is far more customization if you utilize the proprietary software that can be downloaded at the Corsair website (bear in mind that there is no support for Mac OS, which I feel is a huge miss by Corsair).

The iCUE software is a great way to customize ever nook and cranny, but there is a learning curve, or at least there was for me. The software lacks some intuitive functionality and I found that I was very frustrated with it for the first hour or so of trying to navigate through to see what fun stuff I could add to the keyboard.

All in all I am very happy with this purchase. It’s a pricey peripheral, but well worth it if you have the extra money that you want to spend on something of quality.

I am between a 3 and a 4 on this rating, because I wasn’t able to use the full functionality of the keyboard due to Corsair’s poor iCue integration and even worse customer service. The keyboard itself feels very solid and has some heft the frame, which I prefer.

Has a good deal of additional buttons, including multimedia and volume adjustment. The iCue scrollwheel is the only piece of hardware that seems a bit flimsy. To appreciate the full functionality of this keyboard, you must install the iCue software.

This would allow you to assign macros, adjust rob, create profiles, etc. Unfortunately I should have did my research on this software prior to my purchase, and saw the multitude of issues (both comparability and functionality) with iCue.

Long story short, after installing the iCue software, anytime I launched it with the keyboard plugged in I would get the BSOD. When customer service finally responds to my help ticket (3 day wait time between each of their responses) they are of no help at all.

Ended up returning the board since it shouldn’t be worth the headache. Was hoping to be able to utilize the multimedia buttons and macros, but I’ll be going back to my Ducky which doesn’t have all of these bells and whistles but has never given me any issues.

I was considering whether or not to get this keyboard for weeks. The high price point was off-putting, and some people saying it was too sensitive for typing nearly convinced me not to get it. But I decided to take a chance since it was $50 off for Black Friday.

And buying it through Best Buy meant they offered extended holiday returns through January in case I didn’t like it. Soon as I had it all plugged in, I was immediately impressed by the functionality.

Pulled up ICue to replace the unicorn poop stock RGB pattern, which was actually really easy to configure. If you’ve ever used ICue before (which you have if you own other Corsair products), then configuring this keyboard is no different than any other product.

If this is your first Corsair product, ICue 4 is even easier to use than previous versions. I don’t think you’ll have much trouble figuring it out honestly. Pulled up a free online typing test and easily got 100+ WPM with 98% accuracy.

Not sure what people were complaining about with getting extra keystrokes or whatever. I tried simulating resting my fingers on the keys and even applying the slightest pressure possible and it actually didn’t produce any unwanted keystrokes.

If you are just a heavy-handed person, maybe you should learn to hold your hands off the keys if that’s really an issue for you? Just saying. This wasn’t an issue for me. I was surprised to discover that it required two USB connections from my computer, the cable from the keyboard literally splits into two USB ports at the end.

Wasn’t expecting this. Sure it has a USB port on the back of the keyboard, but what’s the point? I didn’t gain any ports from that. That’s the only thing I don’t like so far. Overall, I’m impressed and glad I took the chance.

Black Friday helped reduce the price point and typing wasn’t any more difficult than on my last keyboard, a Logitech 602. The quality of this K100 is definitely a big step up from that. My two concerns, price and typing, were both better than expected.

And after trying it out in a game (Black Ops Cold War), I can safely say the gaming performance is a great experience. Can’t say much for the long-term durability yet, but my impressions after the first weekend are extremely positive.

Take the “top reviews” with a grain of salt. The few voices tend to be the loudest. If you look at the reviews, more than 80% are 5 star. Chances are, you’ll have a great experience with this keyboard.

It’s a 65% keyboard layout with fully programable keys as well as on the fly macros without using the software which I thought was great as I prefer to use it without software slowing down the OS. There’s also a touch-sensitive volume slider on the left side that’s programable, handy during gaming sessions and the keyboard is fitted with Cherry MX German-made Switches requiring 45g activation force, at just 2mm to initiate and 4mm bottom good for avoiding accidental key presses when typing.

As for battery life, it’s been going well since I ordered it at pretty much 100% with the lowest brightness as it’s rated for around 450 hour’s if set with RGB off. There’s also plenty of lighting option such as “Static”, Breathing, Colour Cycle, Starry Night, Strobing, Music, Adaptive, Dark and Smart.

The keyboard can also be used in a wired mode in case the battery becomes low and they included a protected tray to cover the keycaps when travelling or sit the keyboard in. Overall I would recommend this keyboard as it’s light, stylish along with great portability and form factor even if the pricing is a bit steep.

Pros: Wow. Asus have done it again. I love Asus products. They are the best at what they do. What a great keyboard. The brown switch is perfect. The RGB is beautiful. I love the small size for my limited size desk.

I can definitely recommend. Cons: Wasn’t free.

Pros: I got the NX browns and they have a nice sound and feel. The keyboard feels really solid with the aluminium backplate. The touch bar is really cool and supports 5 different gestures. The keyboard cover is a nice addon.

Asus know how to make great stuff. Cons: Absolutely nothing.

First, I’m not a gamer! I will only use the Corsair K63 Keyboard for typing projects. You can light up the keyboard with different lights with the I Cue Program. To me this is useless as it doesn’t appeal to the typing performance.

The blue backlit color is standard, and you can adjust the brightness. It is perfect for nighttime typing on the eyes! It is a Mini Keyboard as it does not have the extra number keys on the right side.

Do you really need this? The keys are perfect size for typing. They do have a nice mechanical sound when typing. If you want to muffle the sound and protect the keyboard from dust and liquids, you can order a Keyboard Protector Cover for the K63.

It is a form fitting and fits like a glove! The only problem is that it comes from China and will take about a month to come in. When it does come in, you will love it! I ordered 2 of them! If you are only looking for a quality backlit Gaming Keyboard, then the Corsair K63 Gaming Keyboard is perfect for you.

I guess it is good for gaming, but I probably would not be gaming with it! It cames with a 2 year warrentry standard.

I think this keyboard improved my FPS gaming performance compared to using my laptop keyboard, but that doesn’t say much. Linear switches feel great! This older keyboard still works with ICue and the linux ckb-next as of 2022- giving me a wide range of customization and lighting feedback options.

The software is essential for key features – which is a problem when the software crashes (inevitable on Linux, but at least a version with ongoing support exists). It does not have RGB, if it matters.

Cable looks a little dated, and is not swappable. Older model, no key puller in the box.

After a year of using this keyboard a few of my key-caps would lift off the keyboard with my finger. After getting fed up with it I lightly tug on all my keys to see which ones come off. 16 key-caps came off this way, most of them being frequently used such as qwerasdf.

All of these key-caps had one or multiple slits along the column that mounts to the switch. Not what I expected at this price point. Thankfully my old Cooler Master Devastator 2 uses MX key-caps (which had 2 years more punishment and are still tight) so I’m just using those (I don’t want the hassle of mailing it back for warranty).

Otherwise a solid 10-keyless keyboard that doesn’t skimp on media controls. It’s just a shame the things I touch are what breaks.

This board is heavily flawed but I haven’t had any problems that struck me as egregious. For a beginner, I think this is a perfectly viable custom keyboard. The included stabilisers are dreadful, truly, and not even the most tedious of mods make them “good”, in my opinion, just tolerable.

It has North Facing LEDs which often causes interference with Cherry profile keycaps, which is why a lot of the community prefers to use South Facing LEDs with the trade of dimmer RGB. I do think the lighting on this keyboard is exceptional and its customisability through QMK makes it able to become a chameleon and fit in to any set up.

This is also hot-swappable, which is extremely convenient if you like to change switches a lot or simply want to mod your switches and stabilisers – if given the option over soldered or hot-swap PCBs I will always choose hot-swap.

As far as I’m aware this uses an integrated plate design and I often find these to be hollow sounding, not a sound profile that I prefer. On top of that, it doesn’t seem to play well with foam, but StupidFish do have a foam cut-out custom made for this specific board.

Unfortunately, in my case, when my PCB arrive it had a few hot-swap sockets loose. 6 and Left Arrow were rattling around in the board. After soldering them back on to the board I had concerns that the solder was a little too little and not at all stable, but this could have been a consequence of international shipping.

Overall, despite its flaws, I reckon my particular issue with soldering and sockets was a stand-out occurrence. I reckon that, for most people, this is a perfect board, for relatively cheap and always in stock if you want to practice or introduce yourself in to the keyboard world, with modding and switching switches or even if you’re just looking for a good board that suits your aesthetic needs.

I’m making an additional edit to say that 2 has gone the same way as 6 and Left. This absolutely changes my review as it stops me from feeling that this is an issue with a few sockets and more the board itself.

It’s hugely disappointing from such a promising beginner board.

I’m going to be frank and say this bluntly, the stabilizers on this keyboard are awful. They rattle, they make a metallic noise that’s unpleasant, and they are not stable. It completely ruins an otherwise great experience.

Yes they can be modded and then they sound great, that shouldn’t be necessary for this price. This is a premium keyboard in almost every regard BUT these stabilizers. Think about how often you use the space bar, now imagine every single time you hit it, it feels and sounds unpleasant.

I am currently waiting for some replacement stabs, because after a month I frankly can’t stand this sound anymore and it is disappointing it has come to this already. My other quibble is that the PCB layout is amateur at best, it clearly used the automated routing option in the CAD program.

And again, for this price, that is frankly disappointing a PCB with this much power flowing to LEDs should have better trace work. The product has been on the market for 3+ years now, and there hasn’t been a PCB revision? There hasn’t been a replacement for the stabilizers which every reviewer has panned? Why? Why not kill both birds with one stone and do a revision with PCB mount stabs.

If you are torn between the low profile and high profile, consider if you are planning on using feet on the keyboard. If you are using feet the high profile is going to be an all around better experience just because it is a little bit heavier and is already at the proper angle.

Pros: Great selection of switches(these holy pandas are incredible) Great metal construction Nice heft especially on the high profile model Hotswap is a nice touch Fully supported in QMK Good lighting on the keys Tons of aftermarket modding available Cons: Underlight diffusor is too thin and does a poor job of diffusing Power draw Stock firmware is outdated and lacking in lighting options PCB layout is lazy Only supports 3 hole switches, lots of aftermarket switches need to be modded.

Near dealbreakers: Unmodded stabilizers. These things have to be tweaked for the board to feel remotely premium. Expect to spend about an hour lubing and clipping these to get them to sound OK. But even then they will only sound OK.

More likely is that you will upgrade the stabs completely, they are that bad. If this ever gets a revision 2 that fully replaces these stabilizers with something more premium I would recommend this in a heartbeat, because I love Drop and their products.

But right now? I don’t know, its a premium keyboard with a fatal flaw, one that can be fixed by the user, but for the price is that acceptable? That’s up to you.

I liked this keyboard for a while, because it offers a good level of customizability without requiring special knowledge or tools. I recently used their configurator to flash a new config to the keyboard, as I’ve done many times before.

I adjust the function shortcuts and LED settings every now and then. Unfortunately, since flashing the latest firmware, the keyboard no longer functions reliably. The left port is unusable, and the keyboard will randomly become unresponsive and have to be reconnected to my PC.

Others seem to be experiencing similar problems, so until Drop does something to fix this issue I really can’t recommend any Drop keyboards. I’ll update this review once the firmware issues are resolved, because this device has its merits.

But mentioning those is pointless for the time being.

TL;DR: Flexibility of full custom keyboard at a very reasonable price. Changing switches is easy. If you’re in store, try some different switches to get a good fit for you since it’s pretty subjective.

96% size is great if you want a smaller keyboard, but need the numpad. RGB customization works pretty well if you’re into that sort of thing Full review I picked this keyboard up to replace my old Logitech using Cherry brown switches, and this was a definite upgrade in every way.

The modularity of the switches is a nice feature. I know most people will pick a switch and never use the feature again, but if you like to tinker, or you want to try out new switches, it makes it very easy to do so.

I wasn’t the biggest fan of the linear switches that came with this keyboard because I prefer tactile switches. The microcenter employee let me try out several different switches in the store, and I was able to land on one that I really liked.

I was originally planning on getting the Glorious panda switches, but after trying a few out, I settled on the Kailh pro Purple switches. These switches are actually cheaper than the Pandas, so not only did I get switches that I like better, but I saved a little money as well.

Changing out the switches was simple as well. A bit time consuming changing out over 100 switches, but honestly not difficult. I went for the 96% size keyboard because I can’t give up the number pad, but this saves a pretty good amount of space.

It’s about 2 keys wider than a standard TKL layout, but retains the number pad. Keyboard is full per key RGB and customization is pretty simple to do if your into that. I didn’t buy for the RGB, but having the backlighting is definitely nice.

Strongly recommend for people looking for something better than your big brand (Razer, Logitech, Corsair etc. ) mechanical keyboards, but don’t want to want to go down the deep and expensive rabbit hole of full custom keyboards.

I needed a quiet keyboard, a keyboard that sounded pretty as I do a lot of programming and do nothing but listen to the click clacks of a mechanical keyboard. I needed a compact and quiet keyboard as to not wake anyone up, and this was a great choice.

I don’t have any experience in buying keyboards, and the staff made sure to help me out and even let me test the quality and sound out. Every department I cruised around in after was full of staff ready and asking if I needed any help with anything.

Overall a great experience and product, can’t wait to go back!.

Really love how this keyboard feels and performs. Gives a satisfying thocky experience that makes typing enjoyable. The RGB lighting shines through clearly because of the transparent Fox switches and customising the light patterns is very easy through the Glorious website.

As this was a pre order, I received regular updates regarding the item’s status and delivery. Definitely worth the wait.

I purchased this from the HP Website on May 6th, been using it non stop since I got it and here’s what I have to say, The headset itself is light and has a great display, aside from have a bad sweet spot and sub par fov, the resolution is top notch.

Controllers are absolute garbage, The tracking is hit or miss, they take 2 batteries per controller and last maybe 2 days when my wifes quest takes 1 battery each and last like 2 months. The rings are massive and im constantly smashing them together when loading weapons in half life alxy, the wrist tethers will not stay tight and after about 10 seconds of Beat Saber your ropes are flying all over your hands, The buttons are in a terrible place so im constantly pausing the game when playing beat saber and there not 1 good thing I have to say about these controllers, HP needs to get their act together with these controllers, its like pairing a $5 mouse with a $4000 computer.

They are also one of the only controllers to not have capacitive buttons for hand gestures which is pretty important for VR Chat, How do you have a controller with a third of the features of the competition but they eat through batteries like their candy.

WMR is about possibly the worst program I’ve ever used, Setting up your room boundry requires you to take your headset off and walk around the room awkwardly while pointing the headset at your PC instead of using the remote to trace your surroundings, The passthrough feature uses your remotes like flashlights instead of using your headset like every other headset, for some reason I’m constantly having to redo my floor adjustment because every time I launch a game my character is 12 feet tall, WMR and Steam running together causes some serious lagging and I have a 3080 and 12900k and should never experience performance issues using this, if you turn off steam home its a bit better.

I can go on all day but I wont. Bottom line If you want a seamless experience with good controller tracking and a ton of features, Stay clear of this headset. I used my wife Oculus yesterday and yes the resolution isn’t as good but everything else absolutely destroys this headset, Better controllers, better tracking, better software, better UI, wireless, even the wireless Air link has fewer stutters then mine hooked straight up to the PC, HP seems to think that the controllers are fine but I dont understand how they can be so naive.

If you want good resolution and dont care about anything else get the Reverb G2, if you wanna have a good experience get the Quest 2, I regret this purchase but now im used to the resolution so im gonna use it till something new comes out.

Dont get me wrong, when a game does load and everything works its a good experience, But don’t expect to just unbox it and launch games seamlessly, you’ll have to trouble shoot constantly, Also when playing 4 player beat sabre, my 3 friends all have Quest 2 and I was the only one being disconnected constantly yet I was hard wired to the PC and they were all playing Air Link and stream wirelessly from their PC’s that were in different rooms.

The switches that come on this KB are absolutely amazing, they also sound great. Not too loud, slightly louder than the red linear that come as an option. Still nice and quiet that, if set up correctly, you won’t hear any clicks or clacks in stream or in discord chat.

Linear or Aqua are great, but if you want a perfect in between for work/typing and gaming. I would suggest the aqua! Board size overall is what you’d expect of a 65% nice layout and footprint. Build quality is equally as great, being nice and heavy and not cheaply made.

Can be easily transported. I really like the feel of the key caps on this as well compared to the 60% alloy origins they have a slight texture to them so they’re not completely smoothed over like the 60% variant has.

However, the software that comes with the Hyperx line. Ngenuity which is downloaded and used in Windows itself and from the Microsoft store. The keyboard itself can be fully programmed and that’s amazing, however software still could use some drastic improvements.

Overall I compare everything to how fluid Logitechs software is with their automatic profile switching and nothing compares to it. Logitech is literally seamless in this regard to software, no company has easier to use software and quicker profile switching.

Unless Logitech has a patent on their automatic desktop mode, every company needs to step it up. It’s literally automatic. It’s not a deal breaker because the software is still usable, and user friendly but quality of life goes down when the automatic switching doesn’t work seamlessly every time.

I also don’t have a single care in the world for RGB but there’s quite a good selection of options. I just stick to static modes so I know when the profile has been switched automatically and correctly.

9/10 overall for a 65% keyboard, quality switches as well as build quality, nice and quiet with above average sound and stabs for a commercial keyboard, software is good with a fully customizable layout and options for RGB if that’s what you enjoy, however software profile switching and onboard profiles need a big improvement as profile switching isn’t fluid and seamless (specifically going back and forth from Desktop to in-game).

Can easily distinguish where the FN commands are because they’re printed on the front of the key caps. Perfect compact size for travel or desk use. Would recommend this keyboard to anyone new into the PC space or those looking for a smaller Keyboard.

I’m new to the world of mechanical keyboards and this thing is a gem! I couldn’t be happier with the feel and sound of this board. The keys are quality PBT doubleshot and the Gateron Reds that I chose make typing feel great.

It really takes me back to using computers in elementary school. The RGB lighting is bright and even throughout the keys. There is enough variation to make anyone happy with the settings included. I haven’t messed with the software to customize the keys, but I may in the future.

Additionally, Bluetooth was a huge factor in choosing this keyboard. I’m using it on both a Windows machine and a MacBook Air. This was a functionality that I specifically needed and it’s great. Kemove knocked it out of the park with this product and I can’t say enough about it.

Love the aesthetic but the red switch is very loud and it makes a ringing ting sound when you bottom out the key. I don’t use it anymore, the rk61 feels more premium and is cheaper. The upside of this keyboard is the long battery life and 4 connectivity options.

Great build quality, cool looking. I don’t know what else to say. I got the one with the cherry mx brown switches.

Feels great, sounds great and looks exactly as advertised. Totally worth the buy. They even sent gummy bears with the delivery :).

I decided to get this keyboard because of the review on Tom’s Hardware. This keyboard doesn’t get the praise it deserves from other reviewers. This is the only gaming keyboard other than custom keyboards that have Kalih White Box Switches.

That is what makes it different than any other gaming keyboard on the market. These switches fill in a blank spot that the MX Cherry Switches don’t fill. You have your Blue’s, Brown’s, and you Reds. The Blue’s are great for typing, but maybe not so great for gaming.

The Browns are just a bad compromise. I would describe these switches as a combination of the Blue’s and Red’s combined. Great for typing be of the clicky feedback, but fast actuation and pressure of the reds.

They might not be for everybody, but they fill an important niche that other switches don’t. A lot of reviews on Amazon complain that that volume wheel and the media keys didn’t work. That was the case with my keyboard as well, but another reviewer found the solution which I also deployed which fixed the problem for me.

I quote hime below. “Update to original review as of 6-20-19: So after owning this keyboard for about 5 months now I have a few things I wanted to throw out there in hopes it helps someone. I don’t usually use the volume on my keyboard since I have an external DAC and headphone amp.

However, I did eventually try out the volume wheel on this keyboard and it didn’t do a thing. I wasn’t too concerned since I don’t typically use it, but I feel everything should work 100% paying this kind of money for a keyboard.

Also of note, Media keys were not working either. I sent an email to Patriot today and to my pleasant surprise, they got back to me within a couple of hours! They wanted me to hard reset the keyboard, and what do you know, it fixed the media keys and volume wheel! I had originally tried updating the firmware through the software to no avail, so I didn’t have high hopes of the hard reset doing anything.

So to anyone that has this issue, hold the viper key down (right function) and the pause\break key down until the keyboard flashes. And that for me did the trick. Also one other thing, I know for whatever reason, the print screen button will go solid white as if it’s not working with the RGB.

Well actually it is, if you hold the viper key down and hit the print screen button it’ll turn it back on to match the rest of the lighting. I believe that when it’s white, it’s in gaming mode. Not 100% sure, but that’s how you fix that going solid white on you.

And there ya go, my only 2 issues I’ve had, and I wouldn’t call them issues so much as poor documentation. Big ups to tech support from Patriot, and I still am in love with the box whites for everything.

Great keyboard, highly recommended!”.

This is my first true mechanical keyboard, replacing a Razer Ornata clicky membrane keyboard. I had to replace that one because its shift characters were actually upside down. I couldn’t stand it! The characters on this keyboard are better, but I’d prefer they actually be ABOVE the regular characters.

I guess I get to research keycap sets now.

exactly what i wanted except 2 small issues. print screen key is stuck on max bright white, and the keys, while replaceable, are curved and give an uneven surface whet the keys are moved to my alterate layout (dvorak).

typing action is great though and ive already programmed several light schemes.

I bought the Ducky One 2 SF all white to replace my budget blue switch clicky keyboard (because I eventually became annoyed of the sound). I got cherry mx silvers with this keyboard, and being honest it was an adjustment at first because, I personally type constantly however, once you are adept to the keyboard it is always satisfying to type.

It’s smooth, thocky responsive and most importantly extremely fast. It’s amazing for FPS games because it is so quick. From the keycaps, to pre-lubed switches this keyboard is a must if you want a keyboard for multiple purposes, The RGB, is in a class of its own.

Multiple colour settings and extremely vibrant RGB lighting bounces off the all white keyboard exceptionally well. I only have two minor issues with this keyboard, being the slight flex in the build and also the light not shining completely through the “year of” spacebars that they usually provide with the keyboard however other than that it is close to perfect.

Would definitely recommend to anyone trying to upgrade their mechanical keyboard or searching for 65%!.

Pros: – The build quality is nice, Although under flex or pressure it does creak somewhat, – The onboard software is fantastic coming from the bloatware corsair RGB apps. The RGB options are simple, but nice.

This is where my good impressions of this keyboard end. Cons: – I really dislike the switches (Kailh BOX White) now after 4 months of use, They’re simply put, irritating. – After 4 months of use I still consistently make typing mistakes (likely due to layout and key-spacing for SF form-factor).

It has overall slowed my typing speed down drastically, which being the primary function of a keyboard is a serious problem. – Function keys are a pain, and have only made life more difficult. Productivity is WAY down.

– Key chatter is a real problem with this keyboard. While writing this review I have edited out AT LEAST 10 extra space presses, and 10 various letter strokes that were registered due to key chatter.

In the end, I CANNOT recommend this keyboard, it doesn’t meet the expectations of its price-point when it comes to doing its first and most important job, Typing.

Good keyboard comfortable to use and looks awesome. Going from a mini keyboard to a full sized features like a numpad home/del/pgup keys are greatly appreciated. Colours can be customized on the keyboard alone or using the app.

The app MasterPlus is awesome for programming custom colour schemes and has a wide range of dynamic and static colour modes. Unfortunately the app can be buggy crashing, not saving the custom profiles and at one stage for awhile it wouldn’t even connect to the keyboard.

The keyboard regularly bugs and will type multiple characters of a single pushed character giving an output like sssssssssssssssssssss Was ok for the price definitely wouldn’t pay more and optimally would like to see it cheaper purely for the bugs encountered.

I am a software developer, not a gamer. I wanted clicky keys (coming from a Razor Ornata) but wanted to go wireless and have the ability to switch between different computers. After a week of hard core use, I have to say that this is the best keyboard I’ve ever owned.

I love the feel of this board and find I’m typing more quickly and accurately. It’s a good looking keyboard as well and because of its low profile, it’s easy to transport in my backpack. Being able to quickly switch between deviceis a huge benefit for me.

Do note that I haven’t had much exposure to mechanical keyboards, just the occasional use on friends’ setups. Really great to use, it’s close to perfect for what I’ve been looking for: effortless tactile keys, low(-ish) profile, 100% size but in a compact package, wireless and wired modes available.

Coming from scissor-switch keyboards, this is a massive step-up in terms of key feel and productivity. Can definitely type faster with fewer mistakes on this one. Not really a fan of gaudy keyboard lighting, but the per-key RGB here with fancy patterns is a plus if you like them.

Mine lasts 2-3 weeks on wireless mode without the use of backlights. My only gripe is that it could be a bit more low-profile for my tastes, and though I don’t use them, some of the fancy lighting patterns introduce massive key input latencies when on wireless mode.

I have done a ton of research before buying this keyboard and comparing specifically other low profile mechnical tkl keyboard. The G915 Tkl does not disappoint let me assure you. The wireless latency speed, the best mid point within actuating force on the keys, where it feels enough to get a light type but not so light that it just presses on it self making a ton of typos.

The battery life is absolutely insane, the size of the keyboard on the thickness is perfect because it feels like a mechanical laptop keyboard. Its low enough to rest your wrist on the desk and not have to bend your hand so up to type.

Its so easy on the wrist. And because it has the perfect amount of actuating force, its so easy on the fingers even if you type for hours. Also because its low profile, the linear switches are actually more quiter than the usual cherry mx mechanical linear switches.

The only minor down fall is that its probably the most expensive keyboard out there. But i would have to say, i do not regret or think twice about buying this. If it was valued around what other mechanical keyboards are priced maybe around 100, i would def give 5 stars for this.

This keyboard has all the features I was looking for 1. Individually backlit mechanical switches. I can customise the keys to my hearts content and have layouts for each game. I dim/turn off keys not being used so I’m not distracted by them.

The mechanical switches also give great reliability and typing pleasure. 2. Low profile and with awesome brushed aluminum finish. Just so aesthetically pleasing. I like a stealthy black/grey tone set up so choosing this keyboard was a no brainer.

3. Lightspeed wireless – reduce desk clutter, reliable and fast technology, and still awesome battery life. 4. Automatic profile switching via G Hub – recognises which game I’m playing and the keyboard enters my custom layouts.

Then, when I switch to work, I’m back to a fully lit no nonsense layout without having to do anything. Spent a bit of money for it but if I think about it, I probably won’t buy a keyboard again for 5 or even 10 years.
