Cute , Cool and Serious all at once

Guys this keyboard is really nice. Fits my theme very well but id recommend to a serious gamer also. The switches are of good quality, nice loud clicks, the keys have a matte feel and texture to them. I've had some expensive keyboards in the past. This was cheaper and I actually like it better

Beautiful keyboard, way overpriced for international people...

This keyboard looks absolutely beautiful and the colors are vibrant. They are not as vibrant as in the pictures, it's a bit more pastel, but still stunning. The backlighting is also a nice touch, however as others have mentioned, the keycaps aren't very thick which makes the light bleed through the keycaps which isn't that nice. You can adjust the intensity of the light on your keyboard keys and personally, I keep it at the lowest setting because the other settings bleed through too much and it's not very flattering for the colors. (you can completely disable the light too if you wish). It's a very solid keyboard overall but for those who are really into nice-sounding keys, this keyboard would definitely need some modding for better sound since you can hear a metallic sound due to the aluminum case, which could be slightly annoying for some. It's also not very quiet. I've been using it for over a month and I like it a lot! One last thing I want to add: if you're from any other country than the US, be prepared to pay a LOT more for this keyboard... With the US dollar conversion + international shipping + custom fees, this keyboard ended up being almost 100$ more expensive... I bought this keyboard when it was 130$US, the next week it was 99$US... My recommendation is to wait until it's on sale. It's not the best budget-friendly option at all, but I was really drawn to the beautiful colors, which is why I still got it anyways. I added images of the keyboard to show you with and without a backlight. My backlight setting is the lowest. Note that my room is a bit dim, if your room has more light, the keyboard will appear more vibrant.

Love it, love the keys

Keys feel great, lighting looks even through the keys over the keyboard , looks good in a lit room or a dark room. I got the rainbow keyboard and it helps with vibes

Beautiful, Sturdy Keyboard

I love this keyboard so much since I bought it. It’s very sturdy and reliable and comfortable to use. The keys sound great and feel great to use. My only criticism is the light is so bright it affects the pastel look of the keys when it is lit. The keycaps should probably be more opaque pastel. I ordered artisan keycaps also from Drop so we’ll see how they look with the keyboard and if they fit. Definitely recommend this product, it’s a reliable piece of hardware.

A friendly introduction to mechanical keyboards

What I like: colourful keycaps with a pleasant texture and crisp legends, smooth switches, solid-feeling build. What could be better: Code keys have different functions (left is Windows, right is Fn), not sure how the value compares to other keyboards at full price. I'm not heavily into mechanical keyboards (yet) - it's been nearly 10 years since the last time I even purchased a keyboard, mechanical or otherwise. That was a Corsair K70 with Cherry MX Browns, and it was enough to convince me that when I bought myself a keyboard again it would also be mechanical. At the time and for the next few years work was in an industrial setting so I never bothered buying myself a mech for work as it would just get wrecked by dust, and then COVID hit so I could work from home and use my own gear anyways, but recently it's been back to the office (not dusty this time!) part-time and I got tired of having to use my work laptop's keyboard or the available cheap office peripherals. I chose this keyboard because I wanted something quieter, something basic (my work is mostly writing, not coding, math, design, AV or anything like that), something that would work out of the box, and something that would brighten my day a little. I got this keyboard on sale for $130USD and like it very much for what I use it for. The sound when I bottom out (still learning how to use the linear switches) isn't too loud for the office but it's still satisfying, the colours are kind and everything works as it should. Keycaps seem fine to me, they're probably what people expect from dye-sub PBT - they're nicer than OEM ABS at the very least. I work during the day so I don't have much need for the backlight in the office, but have it on the lowest setting because I think it looks nice. One thing I haven't tested yet, but capslock seems like it engages the brightest backlight on that key when in use - I'm not sure if you'd be able to tell capslock is on if you had the whole keyboard backlight maxed out. They probably thought of that but I don't use capslock much so don't really care. I'm not sure how this keyboard stacks up at the full $150USD vs other keyboards at this price. At the $130 I paid, it's $5 off the ENTR and an Artifact series combined ($90+$45), but you're not getting the full keycap set either (just what comes on the keyboard). Of course, as of this moment it looks like that set is sold through but this keyboard isn't. Also, because you only get the keycaps on the board, you're stuck with two Code keys which by default have different mappings (I assume the Fn key is platform independent but the Windows key is Cmd on Macs, etc). A minor annoyance perhaps, but given the colour gradient any swaps might stand out particularly badly (not that I intend to, I like the colours the way they are - for now). Overall, I would recommend it for what it appears to be: a solid mechanical keyboard that is a good introduction to what you get when you step outside the larger peripheral manufacturers (LG, etc) and doesn't break the bank - assuming you also really like the colours.
