Inexpensive board for beginners to tamper with. Definitely needs modding or else it sounds hollow. A little bit on the light weight so it's more prone to sliding around. Board is very stiff and has no flex. Best thing about it is the RGB. I took the easy route and paired it with HMX Sakura silent switches. The stiffness and hollowness helped create a gentle thoccy sound profile.
I bought this keyboard to make a cheapo for a YouTube video expecting it to be rather sloppy for the price. While it is hollow sounding stock, less than $20 worth of poron fixes that. Once its been modified It's actually a pretty awesome keyboard. I downloaded the driver from the Chinese website and it appears to be clean. I ran several tests and scans on it and found nothing. The software is decent and offers quite a bit of RGB customization as well as layer editing.
This is an ideal clean slate for someone new to the hobby. The reserved design gives a blank canvas to customize it as you see fit as you start to explore different builds!
Very good keyboard for the price, USB from both sides makes it pretty flexible and RGB is plenty bright. Very good for a beginner board and won't break the bank if you accidentally scratch or break the board. Though you are getting what you are paying for it is still a good deal.
Pros: Bright Downward RGB LEDs with 5-pin Layout. Easy to Build. USB-C on 3 different locations, Left, Back, Right.
Cons: I was shipped the wrong item at first, it was a keycap set instead of the base-board I ordered. Most of the instructions are in Chinese or Japanese. The website for the driver application to customize the lighting and macros doesn't work in Windows.

Keith22Hi @Keith22 Thank you for your feedback. We shared return instructions yesterday. When you have a moment, would you mind checking your inbox? As a reminder, this is a barebones keyboard so switches would need to be purchased separately for the keyboard to work. Let us know if you have additional questions.
I was reading the reviews after purchase and it scared me to upload the software. Others posted that they have fixed the Trojan in the manufacturers software but my computer still flagged it. Luckily I found some awesome post to change my RGB without the software and everything works as expected. I used Gateron 5 pin linear switches and it sounds so creamy! I absolutely love it with the trailing RBG option :)
