About this deal

It’s a fantastic little keyboard. The 65% form-factor is a great tradeoff between 60% and TKL. It’s about as small as most people can go without any difficulties of adjusting to life without arrow-keys. If you want to roll your sleeves up a bit, you can consider lubing the stabilizers to reduce the friction and rattle.

Coming loaded down with awesome features such as RGB lighting, extremely powerful firmware, customizable PBT keycaps, and a beautiful case design – I was hooked. The stylized spacebar ties the entire design together and looks even better once you turn the RGB lighting on.Once you have your replacement mouse skates in hand, it's now time to remove your old ones from the base of the mouse. There are a few different methods to do this, but we’ll cover the main, most reliable method (in our opinion): The keycaps also have sub-legends written on the front that correspond to each of the functions available on the lower layer. This is very helpful for when you want to access these commands.

Overall, for the price I highly recommend this keyboard, and recommend the Silent Reds if you are looking for a quieter typing experience. While being a little overwhelming at first, the keyboard offers a ton of functionality through the firmware. No software required. Keyboard: I debated this keyboard for a while, I was using a magic keyboard for work and a decade old Razer with blue switches that I just couldn't stand anymore (so loud). I finally pulled the trigger and I'm super happy about it. The small form factor is incredible; my desk feels more organized and the clean look ties the aesthetic of my work desk together. The feel of these PBT keys is amazing as well - it's like typing on legos.The board itself is very pretty, I'm honestly really impressed by the look and feel of it. I do wish I had bought one that had a separate row for the F1 keys (maybe even the number pad, but hey maybe future me will be another!), so it's been a bit weird to get to used to. When lit up this board is gorgeous. I use the twinkle? led setting. It's very dim and glowy, kinda magical really. :) Finally, once the grip tape is properly applied, use a sharp hobby knife or scissors to trim any excess grip tape from around the edges of your mouse. Trimming the edges gives your mouse a clean and finished look.

If you’re a coder that uses ` a lot (for markdown, etc.), it’ll take a little getting used to hitting the Fn-key every time. Shift+Esc defaults to ~, so it shouldn’t be an issue for POSIX users that will frequently try to “cd ~”. I really want to love this keyboard but I just don't. Gave it a week or two of use before I swapped it out for another board. Coming in a high-quality PBT double-shot plastic design, these are longer-lasting than the usual keycaps that you’ll find on your old crusty Dell keyboard. With a little preparation and some simple steps, you can enjoy better control and performance like the pros. A wireless connection would be convenient, however, for portability and using the keyboard when not at your desk.

Be careful when using the hairdryer too, as you want to avoid overheating the mouse, which can cause damage to your mouse (plastic melting or warping) and also cause injury to yourself, so proceed with caution. Being able to easily swap out the switches with no soldering required is great for those who want to test different switch options and find the perfect feel. The switches should last for at least 100 million keystrokes which is twice the amount of other switch manufacturers.
